I honestly never bought that friendship so I had no problem with Mulcahey dismantling it. But whatever, it's here.

Ric and Ava would be a B or C pairing at best because that is what all pairings with Ric have been for decades. But it would beat many of her other flirtations lol.

I think Ric only works in B or C pairings to be honest.  I don't think Ric is meant to be given leading material.  He works as supporting.  I am ready for the argument that Sonny/Jason shouldn't be leads, but almost every big story or love interest Ric has been given has flopped.  I remember during 2008? (the strike I think) where JFP pushed RH/Ric while Guza was gone with that stupid story with the waitress.  There was a real attempt to make him a lead for awhile.  It didn't work.

That was so embarrassing for everyone involved, lol.

I think Ric could've been a lead at one point but it was not then. Rick Hearst can be a lead, but Ric can't. I am not suggesting he should have an A-pairing - he is a sleazeball. I'm just noting the reality of what it is.

So embarrassing.  That's honestly one of the reasons I don't like Ric.  I know that wasn't RH's fault, but I am sad I had to live through the Marianna story (I think that was her name)

I totally get your point about a potential Ava/Ric pairing.  It would probably go the same way  most of his other pairings went.  It will start decent, then get really weird, and then fizzle out because the writers will lose interest.  Ava/Ric still might be better than Liz apparently forgetting everything she ever knew about Ric, but not much.

Given how they were acting in their first scenes together, I would think Nina would have no problem with a Ric/Ava pairing.

 

Hehe. Same. And yes, I'm bias.

 

 

Agreed. She's a femme fatale. Allow her to be what Maura West plays to the hilt.

I thought it was kinda nice that Ava both with Trina & then later with Nina, had a kind of a reset of her own & that she acknowledged her appreciation of them. She was so isolated for so long, first by her own intent with her being at Sonny's & then later because Cates really pulled her totally out of anything like her usual mainstream. The time with Sonny was more or less delightful but with Cates I found it downright scary. Her being back at the studio, yes, YES. The idea of pairing her with Ric is something I guess I can imagine. Ric is a real challenge for me.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • 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.
