Y&R July 2023 Discussion Thread

Yeah and at least during the late 80’s it would end with some benefit concert involving Danny. Yikes.

On the other hand, a lot of the nasty common folks Y&R characters encountered were the Karens of their time. Mary Williams and her church’s women circle, Jessica Blair’s naysayers, Derek Stuart’s mother, the unpatriotic man Victor berated, Nina’s haters, Gloria Capshaw at April’s trial, and of course Jill & Katherine themselves.

Haha as bad as they were the original teen pregnancy story involving the girl from Honey I Shrunk the Kids, with one time daytime diva Lynn Benesch as her mother while the dead guy from Touched by an Angel John Dye as baby daddy were hugging on screen and being sappy as could b with each other as Danny & Lauren sang together did lead us to Molly’s best friend Nina as a very, very chilling follow-up story.

Haha, I haven't seen this one in a while but I forgot the "Crystal Lake" reference  

I love the discussion these classic episodes musters!  I can't believe some people are upset that they aired a true classic over the current crap....It's frustrating.

You know what they say, "great minds think alike, and fools seldom differ."

Also, I went back to vault to see the previous year's July 4th episode, and there's a notable difference that Mamie is no longer stuck in the kitchen in her uniform for the whole party by the time this episode aired.

Considering General Hospital is filming certain scenes one-day before they air, they're definitely trying to stretch the material that's been pre-written to their advantage, and if that's what it takes, I'm all for it right now. If there were no strike, I'd be pissed.

Well, it's nice to see the untucked shirt strike is over. I see you, actors.

Hehe. Now that she's in the driver seat due to Victoria's manipulations, Audra is vamping it up a little bit. And I'm NOT hating it. Her scene with Lily revealing that she was now in charge of Newman Media...oooo....that was good. Could we get another rivalry going for Audra? Cuz you know that one with Summer is coming.

 

It's funny. I should be oh so mad at Summer and her marriage falling apart is her fault, too (yes, also Giggly Heffa), but Kyle is really not coming across as well at all. Yes, he should be angry. Three sex sessions. Sending flowers to Audra. Giving really douche flirt. Giving up the company and still whining when it was HIS choice. And I just feel sorry for Summer. 

 

Seeing all this talk about moving to the Chancellor mansion is making me think of your ideas, @DramatistDreamer? You think JG is up to something with that, or it's just lip service?

 

I am wondering if something more is also coming of this story of Sharon being Cameron's benefactor.

    • 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.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
