Y&R: December 2024 Discussion Thread

They need to dump that bulky cheap looking sofa for something more elegant and slim lined.

And a different side chair also. 

And showing the front door from the living room entrance just points out how the set has shrunk. They need a different set up so it appears the front door is further away and there is a grander foyer.

In total agreement. I blame on Billy doing this revamp for having that sofa.

 

See? Showing the front door to me...though I was happy for the camera angle...just showed that it looked...well...cheap. But a different setup...I think it is totally possible. I saw a whole other section was just added to the Abbott living room set and seeing this set again, they widened out the left area. Ed Scott just needs to keep right on going.

Yeah, that week was very much giving...setting up the next set of dominos to drop. Like GH, Y&R totally lost the momentum they had going with the wedding. But...at least it looks pretty. 

 

I'll give Billy this much. At least he's a good enough friend that he went to deal with the Giggly Heffa. But ugh at a Sally/Billy/Giggly Heffa triangle. Other than that...did they just completely get rid of the Chancellor Park set for us to be still dealing with this cgi cuz darn.

 

I love the Audra moment. But I loved that whole dynamic throughout this episode. I think it was THE story beat this week actually. We saw Nate and Audra growing closer as a couple all week. And it felt like a nice climax to that on Friday with Audra opening up in front of Devon and Lily and them accepting her. I'm sure there will still be some drama between them all, but it was a nice moment of growth. 

 

I was Team Michael in the Michael vs Phyllis scenes. We rarely get the fire from him and Lauren anymore.

More like Billy against all the Abbotts. He had a very tense scene with Jack yesterday.

Re: today’s episode: The Jack/Traci scene was a great idea—linking Diane’s abandonment of Kyle to Dina’s abandonment of her children—but the dialogue was sooooo stilted. Probably sounded eloquent on paper. There are still so many things that need to be fixed on this show beyond how it looks.

This show today (US) was the most boring, sappy bunch of nonsense dialogue I have ever heard. What a failure of a filler show. Kyle/Clair ("I'd like to be your boyfriend". Please. RME) Nikki/Victoria, Tracy/Jack, and wtf with Ester and Diane? An entire episode of FF.

Oh my God! Don't tell me that Mariah is about to get a story. Not that it's the first time she's been kidnapped. lol. 

 

I'm happy they played the beat of Alan hypnotized Sharon. And yes...another plot movement in Sharon remembering that she did not run the Giggly Heffa off the road. Finally something!!! And I liked that Sharon is willing to do it again to see if Heather was really killed by her. Go on plot...THICKEN. That said...I could have done without those Jordan/Ian flashbacks and that horrible cgi, but at least it explains how they came together. It should have just been done sooner than now. 

 

Billy and the Giggly Heffa was background noise until she gave Billy a reason to back down from losing to fighting Victor. That resonated actually. And we know how I feel about Billy and his woe is me act.

The fact that the number 1 soap is obsessed with this awful CGI mess when you have GH with just countless sets, is pathetic. Y&R probably has as many sets now as it did in the 70’s. Redoing the Newman Ranch doesn’t make it less stupid that everyone in this damn town spends all day at Society or Crimson Lights. Even Days of our Lives has more sets and it’s the cheapest looking of all the soaps.

    • I was cracking up at how Silk Press tried to hump Not Ted's leg as soon as Kat walked in, but her cackling at the end is getting OTT.
    • I think Doug needs to get his own sidepiece, but not Dani. Dani is only tolerable with Andre (and her daughter Chelsea), so let's keep her there. How about Shanice? She seems like she really cares about him as a person.
    • Does anyone know the air date on the very first time Stephanie referred to Brooke as "The Slut from the valley"?
    • Does anyone know the air date of the very first John & Stefano scene? As well as the air date on the very last time they had a scene?
    • They interacted before when Dani and Pamela were at the casino. 
    • The last few episodes have been good; the acting, the emotions. It's nice to see that GH can still do classic soap opera. I do wish that they would respect their long term audience more and do it without all the silly rewrites though. And where do they go from here? I'm a bit pessimistic and fully expect the show to go back to the drama-less, boring mess it usually is. I'm giving it a month, tops.
    • RATINGS & PREEMPTIONS UPDATE:   1979-Present: 4 Weeks of data missing:   1 Fast Weekly Week: 8/24/81...This week is missing the prelim ratings and full/partial preemption data.   3 Partial Regular Weeks: 12/14/87, 5/20/91, 5/27/91. These three weeks have ratings data (one from Daytime TV; the other two of the three weeks have ratings & share data from Soap Opera Weekly) These weeks are missing the affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books.   TOTAL: 4 Weeks of data missing from 1/1/79-Present (out of 2,422 weeks) 99.9 percent complete!   1973-1978: 35 Weeks of data missing:   10 Full Regular Weeks: 9/3/73, 9/10/73, 9/17/73, 9/24/73, 10/1/73, 10/8/73, 10/15/73, 10/22/73, 4/10/78, 4/17/78. These ten weeks are missing the final ratings/shares/affiliates/clearances and partial preemptions data. Full preemption data is confirmed by comparing the # of telecasts in the preceding and succeeding books. For September 1973, the full preemption data is not confirmable, but newspaper listings & Vanderbilt News telecast listings provide the best list possible in its place.   25 Fast Weekly Weeks: 4/23/73, 6/25/73, 8/27/73, 12/24/73, 4/22/74, 6/24/74, 8/26/74, 12/23/74, 4/21/75, 6/23/75, 8/25/75, 12/22/75, 4/19/76, 6/21/76, 8/23/76, 12/20/76, 4/18/77, 6/20/77, 8/22/77, 12/19/77, 3/20/78, 4/24/78, 6/26/78, 8/28/78, 12/25/78. These 25 weeks are all missing the preliminary ratings and full/partial preemptions data.   TOTAL: 39 Weeks of data missing from 1/1/73-Present (out of 2,735 weeks)  98.6 percent complete!   Note: From the Days of Our Lives and Another World research, the full & partial preemptions should be all available, even from the 39 weeks above.
    • Yes. They were very much out of ideas for Reva by this time. A talk show, blindness...the time travel story... That would have made sense.  (were they acknowledging the Beth/Bill relationship by this point)

    • I can see why the Sam/Amanda story went downhill so fast. Thomas Gibson was a terrible replacement. I don't remember the circumstances of RKK quitting  (if his contract was over or if the departure was more acrimonious), but Gibson just sucks the energy out of every scene. He has no chemistry with anyone.
