Y&R: April 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I may be wrong, but I believe they're actually taping the rehearsals now, and if the rehearsal of the scene is error-free, it goes on the reel so they don't have to run it again.  Someone (Jeanne Cooper, I think) mentioned that sometimes the rehearsal ends up being the only take.

It's amazing how good some of the actors are, then. I was watching Thursday's ep thinking I'm so embarrassed such good actors are playing these scenes. What a shame. I get the set limitations but compelling writing costs nothing extra.

Such a good start. I felt last week Y&R had gotten its momentum back. And yep, this episode feels like more of the same. And don't tell me Tracy's storyline is now about to take on the form of an actual umbrella storyline cuz I will be surprised.

 

I continued to be fascinated with this growing closeness between Sharon and Phyllis. Like Summer, I find it so odd. Definitely different. And I would be curious to see where it goes. Phyllis wanting/desiring to be around Sharon...what a thought? And I don't think we saw much of Sharon as of late, so it was nice to see her back. A nice good break. And I couldn't help but giggle at seeing that picture of Rory Gibson on the mantel given the rumors going around about GH. And awww at Nick changing his mind about going to see Noah. So...I loved Chance (and CF in those blue jeans) revealing the tea about the gas remote...aiming the trio at Alan unknowing. And I also LOVE the Ashley mentions.

 

I saw some of the comments above and I agree. While it has had its moments due to AL playing Summer the Vixen to the hilt, I overall have not liked the Summer/Kyle/Claire triangle. Okay, I've liked the movement of it up 'til now. But it ONLY works if JG allows Claire to have the edges she had when she came to town. The writing appeared to be getting there, but now it is back to Claire being a Mary Sue. Again...that WON'T work. And clearly, JG is smart enough to see that because this episode had Victor trying to throw Audra into the mix with Kyle and Claire. Yeeeeah...nope. Audra has enough going on with Nate and Holden. Just give Claire her claws. 

 

Which brings me to Chance (looked hot AF in that short sleeve white shirt) getting Summer to admit she was jealous. AL played those scenes so well, too. Still...le sigh. Still sad that means Chance and Summer are done. 

 

Still...good start and reading the synopsis for the rest of the week, looks like it's about to be mess.

Sigh I still don’t know why Traci was never at least given additional children with Steve. I feel like she should have at least had a son  and possibly an additional daughter. Heck Colleen should still be alive with at least 2 kids with JT by now!

First of all, ASHLLLLLLLLLLEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Was I not thinking that she would be back eventually. Probably for this Alan storyline since there is still a loose plot thread from her story climax in Paris. So you know I love seeing her. And of course, she had to throw some light shade at Diane. lol.

 

Another good episode. So happy somebody woke JG up.

 

Mad respect for Chance (and still loving those blue jeans and that white shirt) for one hand being the good guy that I love him being by being a friend to Summer on one hand, but on the other hand respecting himself enough to know Summer is stringing him along and letting her know what time it is. The actions of an adult. And CF's look as he got his phone call and Summer dashed off said everything. I'm sad that Summer is getting back on the Kyle/Summer merry-go-round, but those were some good scenes. AL, as usual, was also great. I'm just sad that there was nothing more done with Chance/Summer.

 

Lord...this Alan/Traci storyline. So much coming together. I've loving the Traci center of it all. And Oops...here's come Alan. BM has been selling it, and I loved Traci's way of stalling. Love the Brad, Steve mentions. And it makes sense even if Alan does not believe her. Meanwhile, Chance is closing in with information. And then you have Nick, Sharon, and Giggly Heffa doing recap to the Ashley/Paris climax. So I guess we are going to that hideout to see how it connects. I'm still wondering how this will end, but it's coming across so much better than what came before it in this storyline. Probably because it's Abbott-centered now versus just Sharon/Phyls.

 

And...another cliffhanger? Oooo. So well-done and the music. 

FACTS!!!

Sorry I missed your response but everything you mentioned pretty much echoes my sentiments exactly. 
 

Audra and Summer definitely need to detach themselves from manchild/errand boy lol. Imagine Summer having the hots for Holden much to Audra’s dismay lol. 
 

And 4/7 through 4/10 were actually decent and engaging overall.

I admit that I've been busy so it takes longer to get caught up but knowing that Ashley's back has sped up my viewing. lol. I don't know who woke up JG, but I'm not hating toooo much. 

 

Agree. Audra is just fine with Nate and her secret with Holden. And Summer was better off with Chance IMHO. There are so many ways to keep Kyle/Claire interesting without using either. Heck, the Summer angle makes sense, but the writing for having her there has been ugh. 

 

Same. I hope to get back to it later.

I'm worried about this Abbott renovation.

That set has been unchanged for decades, so why now?

I can only think that it might have become too old to maintain, thus calling for an upgrade.

And/or it will become another set that is shrunken due to budget restraints, like the Chancellor Estate. Although,I don't see how they could do that. 

We'll have to wait and see. They might surprise us.

4/9

I was so so drawn into the Traci/Alan scenes. I was so worried for Tracy at the same time. The actor has done a great job showing he’s definitely Martin now, even to how his hair is a little more disheveled. 
 

Loved Jack and Ashley coming to the rescue. And that moment when Ashley confirmed what everyone has suspected, that that was definitely Martin and not Alan. I’ve always said I’m more of an Abbott fan outside of Kyle than Newman fan so I’m really enjoying the Sharon/Phyllis story intertwining.

I've been watching off and on from the start.  I hated what they did to the Chancellor Estate.  Even the "Jill corrected version" is a letdown for me.  I'm glad Victor got most of his old house back.  I'm okay with that one, even if it is a little different from before.  I don't have high hopes for the Abbott Mansion makeover, but we will see.  I was never really a big fan of that set in the first place, but we will see...

Wow, Martin’s narcissism was his undoing and Sharon and Phyllis brought him down together. Really enjoyed that.

Poor Traci is TRAUMATIZED. Wow he really targeted both Abbott sisters even if part of him did truly fall in love with Traci.

    • 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.

    • 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.
