Y&R February 2023 Discussion Thread

[DramatistDreamer]

Thanks for the clarification @janea4old. I am not generally on TikTok but I take it that they generally like to focus on what they deem to be the most controversial bits. I do remember after KSJ’s passing, Rowell mentioned a detente of sorts between she and Stafford. I guess social media will always highlight what they wanted to spotlight.

Sometimes it does make me roll my eyes how people say these things as if it’s brand new information but then I start to chuckle remembering that it is absolutely new to them.

I am the same way. Here you are with all this new tech and never able to look up and just enjoy life and you are telling me in your pursuit to know-it-all, you did not verify the new tea you just got or if it was something that has already passed you by? I mean...bad form. 

 

But then I think...well...they are new and young. Ain't got the experience yet. hehe. 

 

I do agree it was weird seeing it now that VR and MS have come to a detente. I still remember her telling the story. At a gas station if I remember correctly...hmmm I think that was when MS had left Y&R and was Nina on GH, too.

Okay, what's the story behind keeping Trevor St. John in these Merv Griffin ass turtle necks?! It's as bad as Brook Lynn on GH with the blazers.

[Faulkner]

He got Richard Burgi’s hand-me-downs.

[SteelCity]

Ha! That's funny! Seriously, I want to know what it's about! He's only been wearing those, or a robe!

@dragonflies The chris evans you linked to is the same Twitter user that got EB trending in Summer 2021.

I really hope these lack of appearances are due to EB's recovery from knee surgery, and not his role being reduced.

So I'm wondering is it a good time to come back To Y&R???? OTHERWISE I'LL JUST KEEP UP WITH MY NEW SPANISH SOAP LA PROMESA

[Taoboi]

God bless chris evans for sure. He wasn't wrong about TGVN.

 

I think it is as well. I hope that he's well enough and that's why he appears to be popping up more.

 

But Idk. Do you think the contracts at Y&R are like DAYS now where they have a specific amount of episode guarantees? And sometimes that can stop-start some of the stories because the guarantee runs out? So perhaps they are saving up EB's if he has any for the anniversary period? 

I haven't tried this week yet, but I sooo was not liking most of last week. 

[kalbir]

I don't know anything about contracts, but with Y&R being in budget mode I can see this happening.

[TEdgeofNight]

So now Josh Griffith is EP and Headwriter. And he has 4 Producers under him. This probably won't go well. Y&R has had Lynn Latham, Maria Arena Bell and the dreaded Mal Young be EP and HW in the last 20 years and none of them ended well. The show is so boring.

Wishing Eric Braeden all the best but limited appearances by Victor is perfectly fine by me, especially with the way the character is written.

[SteelCity]

I'm so here with you!

I’m obsessed with the turtlenecks

They even had a scene with him complimenting Billy on his turtleneck.

I’m totally fine with it too!

I wonder if People will have a special issue for Y&R's 50th anniversary. They didn't have one for the 40th.
