Y&R December 2022 Discussion Thread

[Taoboi]

12-23

 

So basically Danny's return was the 'Friday' cliffhanger while the next day episode was nothing (outside of that brief scene with the whole Nick/Sharon family together), but filler. 

 

Well...counting the minutes to Danny and Cricket seeing each other should be worth the wait. 

[Paul Raven]

So Y&R have been listening to us!

When Christine was reminiscing, she actually got her own set. No idea where it was supposed to be, but assuming it was her own living room she's into snow cabin chic.

It was just a wall, a sofa, a table and some decor but showed it can be done. Cricket didn't move off the sofa so there was no need for much room, but this template could be used by putting in another wall and thereby having a cheap set that could be used for particular scenes.

What's puzzling though is that the Crimson Lights set was used that day and it would have been simple to pop Christine at a table on the 'terrace' to tape those scenes.

Maybe LLB's scenes were taped at a different time and just inserted.

Still puzzled about Glam Club and what it is exactly supposed to be - a nightclub that people visit during the day? OK

For reasons only known to Morina & Co Glam Club gets extras as patrons whereas Society and CL are only allowed silent staff.

One last set comment-where is the snowy park setting supposed to be?

At least it is something different.

I'm glad Lily took the initiative to tell Billy she needs a break from him. She was strong. But omg my heart still breaks for her.

[Paul Raven]

Well my stony heart took a little jump for joy that Lily has rid herself of that loser.

So the Grunge Palace is back for NYE and there are extras!

But Society, supposedly GC's hottest place to wine and dine is empty on NYE?

[Antoyne]

I was SO happy when Lily said she needed a break from that loser. He wants Chelsea more than he wants Lily anyway. 
 

I was so shocked to see Grand Phoenix lobby was back and actually full of extras.

I will never get over how Society is supposedly just the place to be but there’s never more than two people eating in there at a time, and most are Abby’s own family.

I don’t understand Noah’s club. What exactly is the age range? Why do so many people go to a club in the middle of the afternoon? And why is it so brightly lit?

I thought the Cristina set was nice and as mentioned above shows they could do these kind of things more often for characters.

I guess Sharon’s house is totally gone now. She literally lives at empty Crimson Lights being the town grandmother now. Apparently Sharon is only viable if she’s with Adam or Nick at this point.

From Gina's Place to Society, there's always been a question of why this small mid-western suburb had such an active nightlife scene.

And that's not even counting the various strip clubs and Colonade Rooms

[Paul Raven]

But the GC crowd can be very fickle. 

At one point the athletic Club was THE place to wine and dine and the suddenly it fell out of favor and everyone migrated to Society.

Similarly the Grotty Photobooth was a must there for a while but now is a no go zone.

Now patrons of all ages meet up at the Glum Club.

 

[SteelCity]

Is Top of the Tower still a thing?

[kalbir]

@j swift The Bayou was a honky tonk dive bar, not a strip club. There was no pole, no roped off VIP section, no dollar bills on the stage.

[j swift]

But, to be fair, by the time Bobby Marsino bought it and renamed it Marsino's there was an infamous pole that electrocuted poor Brittney.

[Paul Raven]

Can't remember the last time it was seen. Wasn't there some nonsense about Noah wanting to operate Glum from there?

Also forgot to mention Dive Bar which was another popular watering hole.

On the subject of flighty residents SOD year end summary provided this reminder of the transient nature of employment and business.

Victor sold Newman Media to Newman Enterprises.

Victoria folded the fashion platform so Chelsea was out of a job.

Adam filled in for Victoria as CEO of NE so Sally took over at NM.

Chloe became Sally's COO

Victoria returned as CEO so Adam became co CEO at Jabot

Victoria appointed Nick as her COO

Jack bought Marchetti

Kyle hired Diane for PR

Phyllis sold Grand Pheonix to work at Marchetti

Lily became CEO of Chancellor

Billy was COO

Lily and Devon merged their companies to form Chancellor Winters

Amandi and Imani joined the legal team

They both resigned.

Nate quite the hospital to join CW

Victoria replaced Sally with Nate

Sally started an Interior Design firm.

Billy started a podcast then dropped it

Nick accepted a job at New Hope with Nick

Noah quit NH and opened Glum Club

YOU GOT THAT?

[Darn]

That list is sad and hilarious @Paul Raven. I keep saying the only plot on this show is employment status. There are no secrets or romances or intrigues. It's just all about who works where week to week.

[Paul Raven]

i'm not even sure that list is complete.

Didn't Phyllis get the sack from Marchetti?

And most of this business consists of chats at empty cafes and restaurants. 

When do we see board meetings, content creation, fashion shoots etc?

[Darn]

The funniest thing about it is that everyone in Genoa City is independently wealthy or closely related to someone who is. They're all millionaires set for life so having a livelihood means jackshit.
