Y&R November 2021 Discussion Thread

Yes. The whole family is being completely wasted. To that point, the entire Black cast is being sidelined, it's really sad. Imani being a blank canvas with no real ties outside of Amanda gives her so much potential.

[Faulkner]

Unless they are really well done, it’s hard to get invested in these presumed-dead scenes anymore. Especially when you’ve been spoiled.

Tricia Cast can break your heart, so I anticipate her scenes. There’s no there there with Ordway.

[ranger1rg]

Tricia Cast is a strong actress, but since I don’t care about Chance (with all the cast changes), her tears won’t affect me. Besides, we know Chance isn’t dead. I blame the show for that, which doesn’t know how to surprise.

Mariah is sickening with her stories about how emotionally affected Dominic is by Abby. She needs therapy. Maybe they can get her to stop talking about Bowie.

[Ponds]

I agree that the Mariah/Bowie sh*t is getting old.  I think Devon is the one with a healthy attitude about the baby.

[Antoyne]

I’m almost completely caught up. Mariah really needs to get a grip about the baby. Like seriously.

[Meredith]

I wish that Nick and Phyllis would both get off the show.  I have never liked Nick because of what he did to Sharon.  He cheated on her with 2 different women.  Phyllis stole 2 women's husbands and tried to kill 2 people.  She's a psychopath who belongs in prison.  

[LondonScribe]

I went down a YouTube rabbit hole and realised that 30 years ago, Tricia Cast was knocking it out of the park during the David Kimble storyline.

[Forever8]

She won the Daytime Emmy Award for Younger Actress in 1992 for that story too. Her acceptance can be seen at the 38:50 mark.

Sleeps as always, especially when it comes to Y&R these days lol.

Adam vs. Billy & Lily:

Boring! With Ashland & Victoria now married the whole Gaines story is a non-story. It reminds me of that half assed retcon story about Adam killing Hope’s abuse last year that didn’t make any sense. Like that story, I don’t see anything of consequence out of this story at all.

Chance is dead?:

Yawn. It would be interesting if everyone found out Abby impulsively left to look for Chance herself, but no Abby is still written as the princess who must be locked up in the medieval castle. Yikes. At least she hasn’t had an affair with a returned Ronan who claimed he was looking for Chance.

Noah’s secret:

Potential is there but then again JG is the same HW who gave us Noah & Adrianna…yuck!

Sad.
 

At least Nina Is back and at least Nikki is in on some of the Newman schemes. I guess the old saying about a broken clock being right twice a day still rings true with Y&R. 
 

The rest of the show is just bland and uninspiring.‍‍

Oh @Paul Raven I had to laugh when I saw a couple April 2020 Eps air on Pluto TV over the weekend. I counter 7 extras at Crimson Lights and 5 extras at Society before they stopped for COVID

Y&R has had a hollow empty feeling for a while now. In all honesty, the last episodes I really remember enjoying were the 12000th episode and EB's 40th anniversary episode.

Who has the next big anniversary? I think it was November or December 1991 that CLB arrived as Michael, but he was gone for four years after his initial storyline so not really an anniversary.

[DaytimeFan]

The most thrilling moment of the 'Chance is Dead' storyline is in the Canadian November 8 / American November 9 episode there is a scene between Mariah, Devon, and Nina behind the Chancellor living room - finally I get to see what's behind the reconfigured doors. Spoiler alert: it's a hallway. 

[YRfan23]

November 26, 1991 marks 30 years (On and Off) for CLB

[kalbir]

Thanks @YRfan23

If you guys thought this show looked broke, wait until you guys see Amanda's court scenes tomorrow lmao.

[Cruising Soaps]

zzzz zzzzz

I mean why bother.  Nothing (on screen) happens anymore.
