Y&R October 2022 Discussion Thread

I agree 100%.  I like him a lot on OLTL and enjoy watching him again after all this time.  He really shines in the role.

Phyllis sounded so pathetic when she admitted out loud she left her career JUST to spy on Diane. These women are so obsessed with her like she’s done anything worse than any of them. It’s like Nikki forgets her drunk ass did knock Diane over the head with a big ass rock. The whole reason she was able to fake her death.

[SteelCity]

That's one of the main thing that gets me! Nikki acts like she didn't try to kill her!

[Antoyne]

And the show refuses to mention that which makes it even more annoying.

[SheenaSoaper]

Is the real life couples of Brytany Sarpi and Bryton James and Sharon Case and Mark Grossman still together?

[janea4old]

No.
Brytni/Bryton bought a condo together but later split.
Mark Grossman is with Courtney Hope now.

[DramatistDreamer]

Slightly OT,but why are these folks always tagging the daytime soaps?

I really wish Diane would throw it in her face! Like "Bitch, I couldn't have faked my death had you not bludgeoned me with intent to kill!"

Woof! That's gotta be awkward!

I had joked about Connor and Johnny being demon seed kids in another thread lol but actually the scenes of them were actually cute, although the dialogue that was written for two preteen boys was horrible lol.

The viewer discretion warning at the beginning  yet no PSA ending was strange. Chelsea’s unraveling has been a long time coming though, and probably more of a nice reason Chelsea to take a loonnnggggg around the world vacation with her mother after this story is over. 

For a Friday episode though it was seriously boring overall….I mean half the episode was devoted to Devon and Abby commiserating together….Maybe this show the show needs to also ad a warning about the show inducing narcolepsy as well?

Wait what?!? When did this happen?

[Taoboi]

Same.

[Ponds]

I am finding Chelsea's downward spiral very hard to watch.  It reminds me of how good she was as Crazy Annie on AMC.

[SteelCity]

Someone tried lighting into me on YouTube because I said that the depression story would be so much more impactful and resounding with a character people care about, or even like. Chelsea is not that! The acting is good, but Chelsea isn't exactly going to leave sinkhole in the canvas. She's been isolated for a while. Her mother  hasn't even been involved! At this point, just lock her up after a breakdown and forget her.

At the end of the episode, they should've had Melissa Claire Egan do a PSA/Suicide Hotline. It seems a bit irresponsible not to do so. The British soaps I watch always make sure at the end of episodes to click on the network's website for support. 

[janea4old]

Agreed. Very irresponsible.  If they want to show that drama, then post the hotline info, too, it's not that hard.

Well they tweeted this.  988 is the new suicide line in the USA since July 2022.

They put the same message on the official Y&R facebook here:

I have seen nothing yet on Y&R instagram.

And the Y&R youtube shows only the clip of Chelsea about to jump.

Unless you checked the Y&R twitter or facebook that day, you'd miss it.  They should've put a PSA within the episode.
