Y&R: Actress leaving


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I was able to watch the entire Canadian episode just now.  Everything I described happened except for a couple of minor things

After Summer exits, Nick & Phyllis comment to one another that Summer is off to conquer the world. 
Correction:  Nick & Phyllis don't comment this to one another. Nick says it to Phyllis.

Harrison says he will give her a Euro coin that he had saved, to give to her, for them to spend together some day.
Correction: Harrison says he will give her a Euro coin that he had saved, that she can spend on her trip.  She says she won't spend it, but instead will hold it to spend with him when they take a trip together later on.

--
Another nuance I noticed: when Chelsea and Summer both say they're leaving Marchetti, there is some nostalgic/wistful talk about what the three of them have done working together at Marchetti.
It's not the words that they said, but instead the vibe.
It was like the three actresses were talking fondly about having worked together. But again, I wouldn't have picked up on that if I hadn't known AL was leaving.

Summer did have one phonecall with Daniel, during which she learned from him that Billy Phyllis fired Phyllis from Abbott Communications, so that's why Billy is hiring Sally, to replace Phyllis. She discussed this with Daniel since Phyllis is their mother.  We didn't see Daniel's side of the phonecall.
I wasn't clear if Summer told him on the phone she was going out of town, but she did tell Nick&Phyllis later that she planned to say bye to Daniel.

During the episode, Summer told someone on the phone that she's going to Milan and not returning until she finds a new creative director for Marchetti.  I got the impression she was talking to Daniel? but it could have been any of her employees.

Summer was just standing in the GCAC, in one-sided phonecalls.  I wasn't clear if she was talking to the same person in both phonecalls or two different people.  Just a few seconds, businesslike, that she's going out of town.

The fashion house Marchetti came onto Y&R several years ago as a company headquartered in Milan.  Summer went there to work and ran it.  Kyle and Harrison lived in Milan, too with her, I think? for a while, I think ? ? ?  I don't remember exactly.  [Maybe during the period when Michael Mealor was off the show]

Jabot acquired Marchetti, (I think?) as one of the gazillion corporate merger storylines on Y&R that I lost interest in tracking. 
In recent years, Summer was running Marchetti from Genoa City; but I think Marchetti still has a presence in Milan, probably.

Chelsea was Marchetti's "creative director", and Sally was doing something fashion-connected for Marchetti.  Each of them quit thinking the other would take over her duties.  But they announced they were quitting at the same time, so suddenly Summer has nobody.

During the episode, she told someone on the phone that she's going to Milan and not returning until she finds a new creative director for Marchetti.

I wonder if, once she's there, if she decides to run Marchetti from Milan?  And then maybe the show would state that Harrison is living in Milan part time?

I knew most of this, and I stand by what I said. This story is stupid. If she could run it from Genoa City, there is no reason she needs to be in Italy just because she lost two employees who left their jobs to work with their boyfriends, which in itself is stupid.

Was Kyle in any other scenes in the episode or did he just show up in the last 10 minutes for Summer's exit?

This whole thing screams last minute. Super quick last scenes with Nick and Phyllis, nothing with Daniel...

I wonder if AL was taken off contract and, unlike Conner Floyd, Melissa Ordway and others, said "No thanks. Bye!"...

Regardless, what a stupid exit.

I agree with everyone who commented on it being a last-minute stupid contrived exit episode.

Summer's exit was only part of the episode, just kind of thrown in there.

The rest of the episode was:

  • When Sharon and Nick returned, one of them mentioned that Christian enjoyed the trip. I guess Christian and Faith went with them to visit Noah in England?  Noah is still dating Jack's granddaughter Allie who lives in Europe.
     
  • Billy visiting the Abbott mansion, seeing the redecorating and telling Diane he doesn't like it, then leaving.
  • Sally confirming she'll work for Billy, and Phyllis being annoyed to learn that Sally got her job.
  • Adam telling Victor and Nick that Chelsea will be working for him. Nick commented to Adam that it was weird that Chelsea would give up her fashion career.
     
  • Phyllis meeting with Tessa to discuss Daniel's state of mind.  Phyllis wants Daniel to go back to work for Billy. Tessa says Daniel needs something different. 
     
  • Mariah talking with Sharon. Sharon started to say that it was too bad that Mariah/Tessa/Aria didn't come on the family trip. Sharon's all cheery but finally notices Mariah is upset.
    Mariah confides that she is still not okay after Ian being around months ago.  Mariah says that Ian's presence a few months ago has made Mariah question if she was *ever* mentally healthy  (since she was raised by Ian and he had controlled her etc etc etc.,) Mariah blames herself for doing Ian's bidding at times.
    And then Mariah confides to Sharon that something happened on Mariah's business trip that she just returned from -- that Mariah got into a bad mental state as a result of everything -- and got drunk on hotel room alcohol, and then did something awful. Mariah didn't say what the awful thing was, but said she can't tell Tessa.  (I don't think it's cheating? Just something she thinks Tessa wouldn't forgive).

That was the end of the episode - Mariah being scared about whatever dark place she's in.

All of that stuff happened in the episode.
The Summer exit scenes were just sprinkled into the episode between the unrelated scenes.
But the episode wasn't focused on Summer.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with. 
    • How did this come to be?
