Y&R: March 2025 Discussion Thread

[Mona Kane Croft]

Any speculation on who Aristotle Dumas really is?  Is he/she a returning character using a fake name?  Or someone already on the canvas?  

[skiman12082004]

I think it's going to be Billy Flynn.

[Efulton]

I think so too.

[Mona Kane Croft]

Well, I hope the character's real name is not Aristotle Dumas.  LOL

With all the garbage time this month, I'm looking forward to the March Madness break.

[YRfan23]

Me too…maybe it’s time for a permanent break from bold…I know it’s stupid but my mental health might now be good if I keep watching this drivel…

[kalbir]

I think most of the longtime B&B viewers are either watching out of habit or hate watching at this point.

[YRfan23]

It's definitely out of habit like Y&R...and it's this sick feeling I need to get over that something I want to see happen WILL actually happen the minute I stop watching...

 I am currently watching BTG on the DVR every evening yet for Y&R I’m just blah about and currently behind a week although I do at least still read daily recaps…but what I’ve read isn’t exactly encouraging to catch up…

As for B&B’s current mess yikes…! I’m not touching that with a 10 foot pole Needless to say if I was a CBS exec I would’ve given B&B a crappy Love of Life timeslot move to a 3:30 ET move behind Y&R, BTG, AND LMAD just to give a big red flag to Thudley.  
 

All in all the Bell soaps had their big chance to step up their A game with BTG’s premiere and both shows BLEW it. 
 

I remember back in 1997 when Days and AW having major cliffhangers leading into the Monday that Sunset Beach premiered, and other soaps also had big events too, for example Holden returning on ATWT the same day Sunset Beach aired.

Likewise again in 1999 when Passions first aired we had the iconic John & Marlena wedding on Days the same day while Sunset Beach aired a special event episode meanwhile all four CBS smartly countered programmed, particularly ATWT by introducing the AW crossover characters it inherited in Oakdale

[Efulton]

On show that had characters named Snapper, Boobsie, Cricket and River I can accept a character named Aristotle.

[soapfan770]

Really the show just needs a more consistent and stable HW at the moment. Obviously Josh Griffith isn’t it by far but surely there has to be at a more competent writer out there, or at lease someone to straighten up his worst demons & tendencies at best.

I’m reminded of the horrible OCD story lol. JG explains how it’s personal and his in real life daughter has her good & bad days and how they worked it out…yet out of nowhere Connor ends up out of nowhere on the spectrum and institutionalized. WTF?

Tank job!

[Khan]

I almost want "Aristotle Dumas" to turn out to be Brooks Prentiss, but....

[kalbir]

@Khan Firstly, Josh Griffith probably has no idea who Brooks Prentiss is, and secondly, if Josh Griffith digs into Y&R's past, he'd most likely fumble the execution.
