Y&R: April 2025 Discussion Thread

Ugh tuned in and of course the month’s first episode starts off with the Quad from Hell.

There's so little action in the Y&R thread due to so much garbage time yet I can barely keep up with the Beyond the Gates thread.

Don’t worry the other half is Damian, Nate, and Amy which makes the episode halfway worthwhile.

But yeah compared to today’s BTG episode like kalbir was saying Griffith &  Co should be ashamed. I don’t blame any of the actors at all, just the extremely mundane washed up writing that for some reason just has a depressing melancholic feeling with it too.

At this point I'm reading recaps and fast forwarding through the garbage time.

Thank you. Knowing they will be on is good enough for me.

I thought what I've seen of last week so far that it was good, but of course not my favorite stories outside of AL showing how much of a vixen she can make Summer. Which I don't mind at all cuz AL is such a great actress. 

 

 

March 26, 2025. Stephanie Sloane interviews Beth Maitland on 43 years as Traci

Yay!!

Coming into April...

 

Uh...we know how much I loathe the Giggly Heffa, but I'll give credit where it is due. For the most part, I am oddly interested in Phyllis unraveling/PTSD she has going on from the Sawish storyline. And we even got a Phyllis vs Diane scene out of it. Except for one moment where I felt MS was overacting, MS has actually been spellbinding so far. I mentioned it before, it would be nice if JG did take her off in a different direction (same for Sharon) which is probably why I have actually enjoyed it. And I was also surprised how Team Phyllis I was with the reveal of Billy/Dumas connection. Speaking of...

 

First of all...Billy, Billy, BILLY. No matter how he tried to sugarcoat it, basically he's going after Victor which EVERYONE has already called him out on. Le sigh. So we are just going to hijack Damian for another round of Billy vs Victor. NO THANKS FOR ME. Another reason why I said that I would rather there was not a fourth reveal in the Damian storyline...especially one where Damian was not the owner of Dumas. But heaven forbid we try something new...something the Damian storyline was giving. 

 

Outside of that, I'm definitely invested in Tracy's storyline. Because the only way to explain what's going on is if Martin is still alive and at some point he switched places with Alan. And Alan and Tracy have been in and out over the past year so that's possible. But I really want to see how JG explains this. Part of me (and @Antoyne hehe) is wondering if Ashley is going to be roped into this, too, if it turns out Martin is alive. For now, watching Tracy figure it out, talk to Jack, and them getting Chance (mmmm CF) into it has been great. And now a trap is sprung. 

 

I couldn't care less about Adam announcing to the family he and Chelesa are back together. And I rolled my eyes at Nick after Adam ribbed him about Sharon and Nick getting back together cuz salt-wound.

 

 

Yay!!! Damian!!! And hehe at his and Nate's rapport. Making me think some naughty thoughts involving a sandwich.

Halfway through today's show. Could this be any more low energy?

And I am so sick of characters moving from Crimson Lights to the GCAC to Society and back. They're not even trying with these sets.

While I surprisingly have not noticed, I do feel that outside of the occasional swoop-in camera angle that not much stands out production-wise since Ed Scott came back.
