That's where I am on Y&R.

I can deal with this questionable material when the show looks this good. I had really given up on Y&R and on hoping we'd ever see the show we knew again. I've posted more about the sets problem and the production cheapness as much or more than I've complained about the writing.

The entire production seems energized, created by people who care.

I went back and looked a you’re right, I think it’s Rory as well now that I zoomed way in. I didn’t recognize him with the dark hair. I also still don’t want Rory back as Noah ever though lol. 

 

Same. It works also so much better too when most of the cast can actually engage themselves as well when they thrown a bone.

Stafford posted a few bts videos of the car crash scenes on her IG and you tell they put a lot of effort into it. You can also see Ed Scott in the background supervising sh!t in one video.

Now THAT was a wedding. Another time to enjoy the couple with lovely words, great camera angles among the guests...it actually looked like it was bigger than what it was. And then some drama among the guests (Diane vs everybody, Billy vs Jill, keeping everyone oblivious) and outside of the wedding (the crash). And of course...a cliffhanger to get people to tune in. Another winner of an episode.

 

Let me get this out of the way right now...I don't like the weakening of Jill, either. It worries me that it will be the last time we see Jess, and I'm not here for that at all. That said...Jess sold ALL of it. I actually got choked up with her vs Billy. Not for him of course. But for HER. A mother having to break her child's heart. Because no matter what she hoped for, Billy was going to be Billy. And his recent actions did not help. And long term, it does not seem like he would change, and the family's future had to be taken into account. That was so well done and sold by JW. And I liked her moment with Lily as well. And Victor getting his shot in at Billy. *chef's kiss*

 

But...that was the thing I liked about the wedding. Victor's invisible pulling of the strings. From what was going on with Chancellor to his manipulation of Diane on to his good side as keeping everyone in the dark about the car crash. Nicely done. And just him and Nikki in team couple mode. 

 

And you can't have ED back in town without Ashley calling Diane a bitca. lol. Of course, but I loved all the Diane moments this episode. Her vs Jack. Kyle butting in irked me, but her having to fire him...hehe. I liked they held his reaction, too. 

 

And you all were right about that car crash. It looked so well done and executed. And the camera angles. Y&R really stepped up. And poor Sharon losing it. Was it wrong that I was hoping they did not get to Phyllis in time though? smh.

 

And so...they are back. Le sigh. I hope Victor has a dungeon in the new house, too. hehe. But a solid cliffhanger.

Poor Billy. Don't care.

 

AHA!!!! So Diane and Jack staged EVERYTHING!!!  All to save Kyle. I like it when a story seems off, but you figure out what's going on. And it made for a great cliffhanger.

 

And Sharon confessed!!! FINALLY!!! Of course, she would do it to Nick. No one makes befuddled look so sexy like Josh Morrow, but I still can't believe Sharon told him everything. It was great to see that yes, the original plan was that she was going to kill Daniel...something else I called. It kinda lessen the blow a bit knowing she's probably being manipulated by Ward/Jordan. I would have found it more believable if it was an alive Cameron since JG was toying with it clearly or even Daisy...back to get close to her daughter. I do look forward to seeing how this will turn out.

 

I haven't mentioned her a lot this past week, but lol at Audra for our old school Y&R comic relief. Her dissing weddings in Genoa City a la Susan about Salem weddings on DAYS was funny. Just look at Abby's.

 And now this episode with the bouquet. lol. I do hope that is a sign that she is truly here to stay and there is a story assigned for her. 

 

Overall, that was a great week for Y&R with all these stories finally exploding after some built. The wedding itself. The spiral of Sharon. Diane's deception. They all had great turns in their stories. And with Ed Scott back, I'm ready to see the climax. 

Like I just said over in the GH threads, it's to the strength of the actress that I could believe in the character and what they were trying to do. JW sold that. I cared about her pain more than I cared about her son. 

 

He...had it coming.

Exactly! One thing I liked about old school Y&R is that even if the substance wasn't hot, the decoration was so it distracted you from that. 

I see teases that Jordan and Ian Ward will have some scenes together. I didn't care for Ian's character at all, but I'm curious to see what he can do in tandem with Jordan.  I'd especially like to see those two veterans acting together.

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
