Y&R June 2024 Discussion Thread

Wait! Is that why Victor is helping Audra? I'll give credit where credit is due. Watching the Jack vs Tucker scene where Tucker accuses him of being Audra's secret backer. And Jack laughed in his face and asked him why he would even think Jack when he has the most successful cosmetics company in the world. And it hit me...Victor is playing the long game. It made me think of the old days for a second. So if Audra gets the company, Victor is totally aiming it at Jabot. Meanwhile, Victor has Cole on Kyle and Michael on Diane. God, he's chess playing. Go 'head, Mr. Newman. 

 

That said...I've enjoyed seeing TSJ being checked in the last two days and playing the cunning man that Tucker is supposed to be. I was picking on this fake heart problem moment only for it to be just that...FAKE. Good job. And Audra is giving Tucker a run for his money, too. So it has been interesting to watch. On the flipside, I love the Traci/Tucker scene as well. But that again goes back to TSJ being checked in. 

 

Hmmmm at Jack and Traci trying to theorize what would have caused Ashley to have alters in childhood. I side-eyed when Jack pondered if Ashley might have known that Brent was not her father even back then. Uhhhh...NO. ON THE OTHER HAND, they put out the idea that Dina was around with a parade of men growing up...and I'm not sure if that is any better. But at least if they are going there for the DID, that tracks. 

 

Don't like the Connor story, but liked the moment between Adam and Victor.

LOL, that pic of Danny looks odd, I know, but it's from Michael Damian's twitter and IG

But maybe a fan made it via AI?  LOL.

For anyone in Australia, reminder that Y&R will stream on 10play starting Monday July 1st.
Thread about that from Errol (Link)

I mean I'm not a fan of AI cuz...well dystopian writer/viewer of Terminator movies...but I will give credit where credit is due. And that looks good.

Why does Lucy have a hairstyle that makes her look like a 40-year old nurse?

So is Johnny going to be our problem child moving forward? Because he was bringing all kinds of snark at Claire. But at least they are playing the beat of Victoria introducing her to her other kids. Meanwhile...JT...STAY AWAY FROM TANNING.

 

Part of me wants to laugh at Abby since we all have been discussing how she is always left out of all the Abbott/Newman drama. And here she is on this episode...complaining to Billy about that very thing. Part of me wonders who is reading these boards.

 

THAT'S IT??? And by IT I mean the Lily vs Daniel lawsuit is over like that? What a waste of a potential storyline. Or an abrupt end to one I should say since I have been all over Heather/Daniel/Lily.

 

ETA:

 

In case people don't already know...6-21 is a whole episode (with flashbacks it seems) about NICK.

 

Let the shade here BEGIN!!!

Adding Nick alert!

[TEdgeofNight]

Y&R has nothing interesting going on at the moment. The worst is Mamie. Veronica Redd cannot act. She’s terrible. I cringe and cringe at the other actors who obviously cringe as she says her lines. It’s so obvious onscreen. Y&R needs serious help.

Hahahaha

I’ve been playing catch since that vacation but I agree with everything you said!

I meant to comment on Abby whining to Billy about not knowing about Ashley lol….yah I was wondering if JG actually reads this board has decided to make this a running gag LMAO…

And yes, the spray tanning has gotten out of hand on this show. Use to be Stafford with all the embarrassing splotch jobs but yeah I looking at Thompson…yikes.

[Taoboi]

Yeah, it's a little late for Abby to have self-awareness. That said...it wouldn't be the first soap writer to have a running joke going on...won't be the last. 

 

Yeah, the scene with Victoria introducing her kids to Claire was good EXCEPT for that. It was sooo distracting. 

[Bedazzled308]

Liberty Bibbety and Hope are never going to happen the big wigs at Sony Paramount plus and CBSTV gave Bradley Bell a stern order and Josh Griffith too Bell it was the Thope pairing and Griffith it was the pairing of the power couples again.

Friday June 28:

Okay I admit I haven’t watched any of this week at all until today other than reading recaps but from what I saw today maybe had some potential for better or for worse lol.

Diane/Kyle: This story still doesn’t make any sense at all whatsoever and is very illogical. In fact this story has made zero sense from the get go and shows JG can’t even tell a simply family conflict story. 
 

That said, we’re back to Audra/Kyle/Summer and I’m here for it after we were robbed last summer, but too little too late tbh.

Faith and Lucy scenes where nice, actually it would be nicer if Faith hadn’t been abruptly SOARSed into college and just have Faith be a HS senior giving Lucy tips on how to handle the mean girls. Meanwhile Faith and Moses are broken up…? Yikes. Moses should’ve been causing ruckus for Devon & Lily the past couple years but unfortunately JG has no imagination.

And as for Sharon…yikes. I know we’ve all complained about the lack of Sharon having story for the past few years but we don’t need for Sharon to be a kleptomaniac again, or sleep with every man in town, or go just go bonkers again (remember when Pratt said Sharon was the new Sheila?)

IDK who keeps fighting the Shick reunion, but they need to STFU, because there's literally nothing else you could do with Nick OR with Sharon at this point.
