The Young and the Restless: March 2023 Discussion Thread

The Devon/Lily stuff was really some great stuff I actually enjoyed. Same with the Jack and Diane engagement scenes which were surprisingly good. And the Summer/Sally confrontation was good but obviously hampered by their “great feud history”. Seriously this Summer and Sally should be fighting over a man instead of over a pregnancy involving her dad & uncle. 

The rest is just blah although Phyllis’ downfall is notable.

Not to knock looks, but Jason Thompson looks rather unhealthily thin wearing street clothes. Not sure what’s going on there.

Going back to the subject of male flesh a bit, anyone else ever wonder what Victor kept under those Exercise Shirts too??? That classic showing but not too much, I do know Eric Braeden wasn't exactly A "Thirst Trap" back on his younger days (on Y&R) but!

Why am I just now seeing this? lol. I guess I have been busy this week. 

 

But EXACTLY!!! I loved the scene where Nate tried to step in with them arguing last week and that turned into a 3-way fight, but this...WAS EXCELLENT. They are really going for it, and very much in keeping with what I said about B&B a few days ago where a business decision also could easily turn personal due to the history if they played the subtext.  And Lily and Devon have sooo much history and the specter of Neil is always there as well. And we saw Neil buy the company. We saw Devon grow there. And then the history with Neil, Devon, and Hilary on top of that. I am surprised no one has thrown that at Devon. YET. 

 

Whether Devon gets the company back or not, this could shatter the Winters family. And that is very tragic given that is not at all what Neil would have wanted. But Neil...is gone. And that resonates all too well. 

I'll be honest. 

 

Like my mother and grandmother before her, it was noticed.  

 

OMG YES! I was sooooooooooooo happy to see Michael let loose on her. LONG OVERDUE. 

 

No friends (but Lauren). No kids talking to her. No man to anchor...men whom are with women she don't like at that. 

 

Sounds like they are setting up Giggly Heffa for something. 

 

Good to see. They should have been writing for both of them.

I haven't seen all of that scene but I think that was a good set of performances from both, actually, and some decent dialogue. And I very rarely hand out praise to Y&R or its performers these days, both of those two can ham it up like nobody's business.

I don't watch the show very often now but I'm a bit hesitant at the talk of her being OTT. By Michelle Stafford standards, this feels closer to me to her 94-97 performances (just more frantic) than some of the lowlights of her last 10-15 years.

    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
