Y&R: February 2025 Discussion Thread

I was happy to see Sharon back to normal if they are treating her like a busybody. I even liked that AL was being delicious ambiguous in that last scene with Summer, Claire, and Victor. 

 

But so terrible soap. Moreso because like you said...flaws and all the Newman story we just got was built nicely with cliffhangers that continued. Same for the Ashley story. So...why?

Really terrible soap. Watching Victor writhe in pain while he sits on a chair is not good soap. The lack of direct follow up from the Jordan and Ian stuff is baffling...and boring.

 

But is that "back to normal Sharon"? If this is supposed to be Sharon playing a busybody, I don't like the way Sharon Case is playing it. She comes off like she's medicated. Those scenes with her at the Newman house with Adam and Chelsea were just weird.

The Adam and Chelsea stuff, BTW, is so boring I can't talk. I do not care that Chelsea is just there for Connor. I do not care about the scenes that get us to where she crawls into bed with Adam.

The entire show has me bored outta my mind.

Perhaps I should say at least she's not seeing things and acting like she's on a verge of breakdown. She can hold a cohesive conversation.  That said...I don't like Sharon as a busybody and she definitely did come off medicated whether it was intentional or not.

 

Who?

So Sharon, a woman with a history of mental illness, who has been drugged and hallucinating a man who tormented her has had all  charges dropped just like that and is now bopping around the Newman compound playing Gladys Kravitz?

Maybe she can go back to running her 'business' from a table at Crimson Lights...

I've really grown to like VP as Amy. If we can't have Olivia or Dru, I'd be good with a cure to keep her around.

Audra/Holden/Lily triangle could be hot.

Oh, Phyllis can't you see that Nick has chosen you as his next White Knight project?

With Tucker's name mentioned three times by Holden and Audra, it's not a long-shot to assume that's who Billy called.

I admit...I avoided Y&R for the last few days. I was irked at that Monday episode after such an awesome cliffhanger. They were wrong for that.

 

But this episode recovered nicely. Giving the long-awaited confrontation between Nate, Amy, and Daiman. I loved it. And VP and the actor playing Daiman bought it. I admit that how SD looked in that shirt was extremmmmely distracting. He's been working out, and it shows. Cuz...Mmmmm. I can say the same for JM in his scenes with EB, too. Everyone's chest puffing out. Thank you, Wardrobe Department.

I liked the brief scene between Jack, Diane, Victoria, and Claire as well. It was nice to see some history between Jack and Victoria. And then it led into Victoria telling Claire about her wedding where she got arrested. I also liked how much Summer does not like Kyle/Claire. AL's look said it all at the end.

 

 

And...another good coda.

 

Same.

Without a doubt this week’s highlights was everything surrounding the Damian storyline.

Le sign I kind of hoped Holden and Damian were possibly secretly lovers lol. That said the twist that Holden & Audra know each other from the past is interesting. We already know Audra did a lot very unscrupulous and very unethical things in the past while working for Tucker so anything with Holden will be a rehash of that but is a good twist regardless. Damian and Lily will sure to be interesting.

I too have been enjoying VP as Amy and actually hope she sticks around for the long run like going into remission or something. I also enjoyed Devon and Lily giving Nate their support and being a sounding board. 

What really should happen:

Billy returns to Jabot with Sally at hand and they relaunch both the men’s line as well as a new line of cosmetics aimed at both younger men & women to help boost Jabot’s aging demographics. Initially Jack & Diane are super happy about this although Kyle is annoyed. Diane’s opinion turns sour though after Phyllis comes aboard with Daniel running Jabot’s new fancy website, app, IT etc. but nonetheless the begrudgingly agrees to make it work. 

Kyle is still peeved and while venting to Claire while buzzed he accidentally shares some inside info about the newest project from Jabot Claire who then Innocently blabs about to Victoria with Victor gleefully eavesdropping in.

Of all the guys to have a love scene or get shirtless, couldn't we get Nate or Nick? Who is checking for BILLY? Ugh.

 

And today noted @Antoyne that Ashley is currently off canvas for sure and doing business in London.

 

I would have rather seen more of the Daiman storyline, but outside of Billy/Sally, I didn't mind it at all. And a cute little note to the Ashley's alters storyline by having Billy and Sally stay where Ashley and Traci stayed. I liked that set.

 

It was a matter of time...since JG is determined to do Sally/Billy/Giggly Heffa...before Giggly Heffa was clued in. So I liked the Daniel/Phyllis scene. 

 

And I liked the little scene of Nick, Sharon, and the mimosas. I agree with Nick. It was nice to see Sharon happy for a second and laughing. Though I did not like the return of the Sharon flat hair.

 

Hmmm another beat in the Claire vs Summer rivalry. I thought that was well done. We know AL can play layers and that was on display as the scenes kept on. And then her parting shot was good. And HE is rising to AL's energy. So it appears that Claire just might be a little bit more gray going forward. Good.

I only mention it aloud because Ashley has been MIA since Abby's wedding/honeymoon return and no notice of if ED is gone...for now. We ED fans like to be in the loop...especially if we are not going to see her for a loooong while. Her being namedropped on canvas usually is how JG always lets the audience know a character and actor is gone. Noah and Allie come to mind.

And I figured Antoyne who loves ED as much as I...would like to know. But again...I love that set.

Ah. that makes sense.  In fact I had missed that Ashley was in London until you mentioned it, so thank you for that!   Well at least there was a mention.  I appreciate Eileen when we can see her.
LOL I remember Sharon telling where Noah and Allie were.

    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.
