Members BoldRestless Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 The show puts in too much meta commentary that makes it cringy. Abby is all "as both a NEWMAN, and an ABBOTT, blah blah blah. I represent the two EPIC families of GENOA CITY!" Victor and Nikki: "This is going to be a BIG NIGHT, it's going to be great until it all FALLS APART like so dramatic. This is a MASQUERADE BALL, get it, everyone is wearing MASKS, like that Masquerade Ball from when the show was GOOD, which makes this episode GOOD." But enough complaining, it hasn't been too bad this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 I tried really hard not to ff today but some of the scenes are such weak sauce... Hamilton Winters zzzzz Agreed that TSJ has much presence, and what an upgrade from SN! What did Tucker do to make everyone so mad? Circa 2010, didn't Tucker cheat on Ashley with Maura West's Diane? And now everyone is mad at Tucker and not Diane? Is this latest version of Diane a morally-correct heroine, or is she still a historically-accurate complex schemer? Mark Grossman slays as Adam, but Amelia Heinle is a scene destroyer. I loved Courtney Hope as Sally Spectra on BnB in 2017. This pod-person version bears no resemblance. I can't stand Joshua Morrow but I'll admit he looked pretty good in bed shirtless. God, Abby's apology was so pathetic and totally self-serving. Amanda ripped her to shreds and I did enjoy that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted March 24, 2023 Members Share Posted March 24, 2023 I've tuned back in to see the Gala shows. They've been a welcome bit of excitement compared to the usual snooze that Y&R has become. The return of Mamie is wonderful and in my opinion is the highlight. Veronica Redd exuded such natural warmth with Peter Bergman in her first scene it was like she never left. That flashback with the living room mirror is a good example why throwing away historic sets is such a mistake. If Peter Bergman's 'happy Jack' acting could get any hammier I'd ask for bread, cheese, and a frying pan. Susan Walters, on the other hand, continues to be a welcome breath of fresh air. Chelsea is an albatross of a character. Why tie Daniel down with her? She's a character that makes no sense on this canvas. Loved Jill's return to swoop in on the arbitration meeting. It looked like Jess Walton and Lauralee Bell had fun together - they probably hadn't shared scenes in 20 years. The Jill and Mamie scenes were great, though not the tone I would have chosen. James Hyde's acting is incredibly rusty. Granted, he was no great shakes on 'Passions' but he's not very good. Eileen Davidson looks amazing. Amelia Heinle continues to suck the air out of every scene she's in, though I'll give her credit for being semi-alive in that flashback with Nick where they were fighting about Adam. Heather Tom, you are so missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 24, 2023 Members Share Posted March 24, 2023 @DaytimeFan You mean Billy not Daniel. He's the one stuck with her. Today's show sucked! What happened? No Traci and Ashley reunion with Mamie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 24, 2023 Members Share Posted March 24, 2023 Seeing the GCAC set after several years, completely intact down to the furniture makes me wonder how long old sets are kept and where they are stored. At what point is it decided to destroy sets that are no longer in use? Is the Newman Ranch set still in storage? Nick's house? Lauren's apartment? etc I'm pretty sure that the original Chancellor set was destroyed because it was too old (and maybe even unsafe?) Quite possibly there are regulations about these things and the materials used back in the day are no longer considered acceptable. I wonder when it was decided that the original Foster and Brooks homes would no longer be used? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lucaslesann23 Posted March 24, 2023 Members Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Michael Meador says the show never destroys sets. They just store em. Griffith said the Colonade room was almost used instead of the gcac. Edited March 24, 2023 by Dylan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted March 24, 2023 Members Share Posted March 24, 2023 LOL want did Hyde even do before and after Passions anyways? At least his screen partners Kim Johnston-Ulrich and Dana Sparks (who was Chelsea’s therapist last year) had lengthy acting careers before (although Sparks was dreadful on Falcon Crest). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Forever8 Posted March 24, 2023 Members Share Posted March 24, 2023 Seeing Jess Walton and Veronica Redd together gave me old school Y&R vibes which I hadn't seen in years as Mamie still refuses to be cordial to Jill. I love it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 24, 2023 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2023 I've always stated one of these sets should have been used as Victoria's home set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted March 24, 2023 Members Share Posted March 24, 2023 That scene was sooo great! Also I’m so happy she’s going by Jill Abbott again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
