Y&R September 2021 Discussion Thread

Who knows?

I thought it might be budget related but we have a new Noah coming...

There doesn't seem to be any story related reason. Had Abby reached out to Stitch,then that relationship could have grown and then Chance returns, but that didn;t happen.

Will we see Nina again?

[Forever8]

If anything it should've been Phillip Chancellor V or perhaps Carlton Newman Chancellor. 

[Faulkner]

Where’s Ashley or any of the Abbotts in Abby’s story? Nina was around to idly chitchat about film scripts when no story was happening, but when Abby actually has her baby, she’s away? 

[Faulkner]

MTS serves snooty condescension better than anyone, but Nikki is useless.

Is Sally STILL living in Phyllis’s hotel? 

[Gemma]

No. Phyllis kicked her out.

New Noah? Hopefully better than the last one, I never cared for him. They aged Noah but the recast lacked charisma and wasn't the best actor.

If they're not going to recast Chance then they should have Abby divorce him. She has a doll baby and the writers think an absent hubby is going to work in perpetuity? 

The party was hilariously bad. The lack of a crowd for what was a party with rich people. 

Still Sally tossing that drink in Phyllis' face was fleetingly entertaining.

Nick's voice..... can Joshua pretend to be at least slightly enthusiastic? I'm guessing Phyllis tops.

Michelle Stafford should have taken it down several notches with Phyllis stomping around, not enough champagne for 14 people? I'm surprised she didn't take someone's eye out with one of her floppy discs.

 

[Faulkner]

Okay thanks. So that was Adam’s hotel room? I’m so confused with who is living where now.

I don’t see the chemistry between Grossman and Hope.

[Gemma]

I think it was his hotel room.

I don't think the chemistry is scorching or anything close but I do like their banter.

It's nice to see Sally being something other than the punching bag of others.

Wait. Had

been announced for a cameo and I missed it?

 

I don't know if this is going to sound rational but while I don't feel amazing chemsitry between the actors either I like the chemistry between the characters in that they are a good fit and their flirtation is written well so far.
So I am fine with it... if they manage to write good story out of it down the line.

I don’t get it either but I do think we’ll have a new Chance at least by November sweeps. It reminds of the time frame between how Muhney left as Adam and Hartley came on as his replacement but that’s about the only example I can think of replacing a dismissed actor in the middle of a story.

Funny but that's how they look to me all the time.

Quick question-

With Adam and Chelsea always claiming their deep parental love for Connor (who they seem quite happy to ship out of town) have either of them ever shown any interest in their other children?

I know Chelsea willingly gave up Johnny to Billy and Victoria, but that was before those two split up and hooked up with others.

Does Chelsea really not care for the welfare of her child who is now practically being raised by a stranger(Lily).How convenient that in a town where people can run into each other several times in one day that Chelsea,Billy and Victoria never cross paths.

Adam discovered Christian was his right? But never shows any interest in his other son?

[FrenchBug82]

This bugs me more than Chelsea/Johnny because one of Adam's thoroughline was his bitterness at Victor choosing not be in his life during his childhood - despite Adam having a loving replacement father figure in Cliff.
You'd think Adam of all people would consider it important to have a relationship with his biological son regardless of whether he has a loving adopted family.

[Chatty Cakes]

I hope it’s a not another week of Phyllis raging against Sally for helping her daughter land a great job that she was too dumb to go after herself.

[Faulkner]

Victoria: “For once, I have to side with Phyllis after what Sally did to Summer.”

In all fairness to Victoria, the idea that someone else other than your daddy can get you a high-flying job is probably too much to wrap her head around.
