Y&R: December 2024 Discussion Thread

There has to be a way around the set situation. It makes the godawful stories even worse.

Does anyone think the costuming has improved since the new designer started?

[Faulkner]

LMAO.

 

[BetterForgotten]

It’s a reference to the sitcom (Half & Half) they were both on:

Unbelievable that Tracey Bregman is 61! She looks absolutely stunning – true timeless beauty!

61 is CRAZY. She may look a little frozen but her work overall is fantastic. I would absolutely never guess her 60’s.

Yes I've noticed that Mealor really speaks like Bergman, it's fascinating.  I find the character of Kyle to be annoying and I'm not that entranced with Mealor's acting, but I have noticed his ability to mimic Bergman's delivery.

As I am a viewer who is hard-of-hearing, I have always appreciated PB's enunciation, even if nobody speaks that way in real life.  He's one of the few actors I can understand without closed-captioning!

All I can think about is how she looks now vs how both Jeanne Cooper and Susan Flannery for example looked at 61. For Jeanne that was 1989/1990 and Susan 2000/2001. Definitely a huge contrast! lol 

Sorry if this belongs in the spoiler thread but on Christmas Day they are gonna show the Christmas Eve episode from 1985!

Especially in comparison to her co-star's show polish dye job.  That single process box job ages him.

[Soapsuds]

Woohoo!!!!

@YRfan23 @kalbir

 Completely agree with this sentiment as well. Mealor may not be the best actor but he is the best Kyle we’ve ever had lol at least since his return in 2022. He does do better with stronger dominant actresses like AL and ZS, but of course their characters have settled for Alpha males at the moment as opposed Beta male Kyle lol. 
 

@Taoboi believe it or not you’re actually ahead of me too, but now that I have a 2 1/2 week break ahead I’m about binge watch this weekend to catch up (for better or worse from some recaps & comments I read )

[kalbir]

I know, I can't wait! 

[BoldRestless]

Would be cool to get NYE 1981 (the Nikki/Victor first real kiss) as well.

Reasons why I wished at some point that Sony had released Y&R classic episode collections on DVD around the same time SoapClassics was doing their thing with ATWT and GL while B&B was released internationally.

One of my Y&R Christmas wishes for 2025 (besides the show getting a competent and successful new HW lol) is that classic stuff turns up on that upcoming YT channel in 2025.
