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.

    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.
    • GH:       A- DAYS:   A- BTG:     B- B&B:     F Y&R:     F
    • 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.
