Y&R January 2022 Discussion Thread

Nothing about the conception, birth, or existence of Dominic has been good.  It's all been offensive crap around the LGBTQ characters and characters of color ... being of service to rich white clueless entitled Abby, who was upset that she did not conceive after trying for only a few weeks.

And then Tessa/Mariah considering adoption which would be wonderful, if it wasn't due to Mariah feeling an empty womb. And then the pings agains Tessa's status. Tessa has stated many times that she is gay. She's not bi.  She got together with Noah only as a scam to get money for her sister. She never loved Noah. Yet now they have Noah making eyes at Tessa every day.

Devon is made to be the bad guy in the whole sperm donor, womb rental fiasco.

Modern families in real life do have sperm donors and gestational surrogates and shared godparents, etc.  But Y&R took the potential for a good story and made as offensive as possible.

I could say more, but this whole UNENDING storyline makes me angry, and I need to stop thinking about it.

I think they're on to something with the birthday celebration.

One episode each week could be devoted to a character's birthday. Friends and family could tell them how great they are and they could make a heart rending speech. Bam! 37 minutes of airtime filled.

Jamey Giddens always wanted to be a writer on daytime.  He recently wrote his own nighttime soap Ambitions which was awesome but lasted only one season.  Now he's a breakdown writer on Days and says he gets to write one show per week. He seems genuinely thrilled to be doing something he loves.

There have to be others out there who love the soap genre and WANT to write.

When an entire calendar year passes with no enjoyment of a single episode, it's another sign things are bad. We're 14 1/2 months away from the 50th anniversary and I'm still hoping we'll get something big to lead up to it.

It was so funny when Nick asked how they got tickets that were expensive and hard to get. Nick is literally a billionaire.

 

When Tessa said she was going to play retro music I was kind of hoping it would be that Hootie & The Blowfish song that always played during Nick and Sharon scenes at Crimson Lights.

Re: Dominic’s paternity.

Why do I foresee this mess coming to a conclusion with Chance & Abby agreeing to joint custody with Devon and asking Devon & Amanda to move in with them. Then for months on end afterward wacky hijinks not seen since the days of I Love Lucy, I Married Joan and My Little Margie occur for the quad.

Could see that happening. That way they could rid themselves of Devon's penthouse set and save more $$$$.

And cos the Chancellor estate is so huge, Moses can move in as well, and he and Faith can have their 2 eps a month there as well!

Now that Micheal has had his moment in the spotlight, how long before we see him again?

More likely, they'll have a desperate Devon kidnap the child, make everyone think he's dead, and then wind up escorted out of town and into the nearest prison while Chance and Abby are reunited with their precious baby.

So on Monday, family and friends gather at Society to honor as Michael reflects on the past and thinks about the future as Victor offers him a job.

Then on Tuesday, family and friends gather at Crimson Lights to honor Nick as Noah ponders two job offers.

And dear friend Phyllis couldn't be bothered attending either event-probably because she wouldn't be the center of attention...oh, wait...she'd make herself the center of attention.

Coming up on Wed. Family and friends gather at the Gangrenous Pineapple to honor Phyllis, just because she hasn't been on for two days.

    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?
