Y&R June 2024 Discussion Thread

Adding onto my prior post about all the random stuff JG was writing for the 50th anniv and the year following that (March 2023 - March 2024 and continuing) ...
I forgot to mention the Cricket/Danny/Phyllis "triangle" which JG seemed to think was a flashback to years ago, but it's NOT.   The past few months with them were written so badly!

B&B's official YouTube channel has posted the full length tribute to Ed and Melody Thomas Scott. It features extra footage not included in the Emmy's telecast. It verifies my suspicion that the Bells produced this, rather than the Emmys themselves, the background music is all signature Bell cues.

6-6

 

Well, I guess we know now why Ashley splintered now. lol. It's on the strength of this being a heavy Ashley week and my love of Eileen Davidson that I kept on watching when I was about to stop on 6-5...which was NOT an Ashley episode. And this is the second time they get a good writing flow going on...only for her story to vanish usually on a good coda...cuz ugh. 

 

And what stories they had on 6-5? Connor's off-screen adventures. Summer walking back giving Claire the benefit of the doubt. And Winters drama with Mamie...whom I was happy to see (and Chance in the Claire mess) since they had upped and vanished. And now Billy the Prick is setting up Lily for more Winters drama.

 

And while I figured out the twist mid-episode, I did like how the cliffhanger was done.

 

So here I am on Friday's episode. Oops. But...the power of Ash. lol.

Well the Ashley story took a completely different twist than I ever could’ve imagined. I can’t think this was the original direction of the story when it started. I found it all well acted though and the twist was interesting. I’d say one of the better stories JG has done but mainly because I love the Abbott’s and anytime Ashley is front and center.

I do think it’s still dumb her own daughter knows none of this has been going on.

Abby could start a podcast called "[!@#$%^&*] My Families Haven't Told Me About" and each episode could be about her learning about and responding to the latest crises in her families months after the fact.

Hehe. I was waiting for you to comment. Now where's @soapfan770?

I almost wish that I had not seen the NEXT WEEK promo because I was hoped on the coda last week when Alan revealed he never talked to her and was trying to figure out what that could mean. I was that invested. lol. Again...the power of the Ash. 

 

I agree with you on well acted and the twist. Dislike JG I have on this run, but it's clear he really does love the Abbotts above all other families and it shows. 

 

I admit that I've been mostly nit-picky on everything BUT (and even then I have, too) the Ashley storyline. And I attest that to Eileen Davidson's acting and everyone around her aka the Abbott family. Cuz the story has been so uneven though that even worked in its favor due to Eileen Davidson giving a masterclass on acting with a split personality. Those tells she gave long before the story took off were flawless.

6-7

 

So now that I've sat down and slept on it. I have mixed feelings about the climax to Ashley's storyline. Well... to be exact... that it has another turn coming and she'll be off canvas it seems for a bit.

 

I thought everything Paris was well done. And the twist with Alan was good even if the fight was cheesy. Well done, but CHEEEESE. Especially since he was limping around a commerical break later. I was expecting Tucker to be that guy that came to rescue her. In a way, this felt like the story is going to be prolonged only so he can do just that.

I just didn't like that Alan was like 'we still don't know all of the truth.' Well... don't we? Even hinting at something waaayyyyy back in the past worries me that JG is doing to mess up some history and Y&R is one of the few soaps you cannot get away with that without some backlash

 

 

On a personal note, I hope I do find something interesting coming. lol. Just like the last time Ashley's storyline took up a whole week (and was well done with cliffhangers every day), I hope this show this week isn't like how the show was post-that week...aka annoying, uneven, and focused on boring story.

It's bizarre that NO ONE has bothered to tell Abby any of this. This shows what a non-character Abby has become.

But, then none of the Newmans told her about the Jordan stuff, either...LOL.

    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content, so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant.
