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.

    • the tweet linked to https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/05/02/ruth-buzzi-dies-the-rowan--martin-laugh-in-star-was-88/ That Forbes account of Ruth Buzzi said she'd had Alzheimer's for 10 years? But she was tweeting a couple of years ago...  There's more info on @slick jones page here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/380/#comment-1869080
    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
