Y&R May 2023 Discussion Thread

…also, in an example of how YR has always been the “smarter” soap, did anyone catch the parallels between the “mums” in this episode. 

- Kyle’s joy at Diane homecoming 

- Devon’s surprise at seeing Harmony

- Summer’s anxiety at keeping her secret about Summer 

Each child/mother relationships is unique and drove today’s story forward in different ways.

Last week, The scenes I really liked was Jack sitting alone in his office while Jack and Phyllis flashbacks played,

 

Elena doing her monologue while the same time showing Nate and Vicotria getting busy.

Also, I was watching James Lott Jr's livestream, he did an interview with Stafford recently and he said, she told him the stuff they are filming now for this Phyllis story gets really controversial. I can only imagine whatever that could be.

One funny thing about Kyle Abbott is that the portrayer is so tall, that he breaks any of the forced perspective illusions they try to create on the sets. When he ran into the Abbott mansion to the stairs, you could tell they were far from grand and like a ladder with steps. He's just a little too tall and too lanky for the illusions to work.

I think him or, they just asked Susan Walter's husband to come back. so, Matt or Cameron is my guess.

 

I think you've said you'd like or, think Eddie would be the one to play Matt again, if it's him, I have a question. I never saw the Carter Mills plastic surgery story. What was Ric Hearst like as Matt? Was he good or not really.

In a way, I wish Ric Hearst had played Matt all along.  He's certainly a better actor than Eddie Cibrian, lol.

I'm sure I hated the Carter Mills story at the time, because I've NEVER been fond of stories where characters can deceive others through plastic surgery.  (No one's looks change THAT much, lol).   But, if I were to compare it to Y&R today, I'd probably reconsider it as being among the show's very best, lol.

ETA: I do remember liking Sabryn Genet's work in that storyline, though!  I don't always like when a female character goes insane; I think it's cliched and very misogynistic.  But she played the full-tilt-boogie-crazy stuff very well, lol.

Man, I hope it's not Linden Ashby/Cameron Kirsten.  IIRC, that story between him and Sharon was so ugly and brutal.  If Linden wants to come back to daytime, or to Y&R, I'd much rather it be as a new character.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
