Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

[janea4old]

Reminder for Tues. May 6 and Wed. May 7:
Due to UEFA European Soccer Champions League Semifinals 
Y&R and B&B may be partially disrupted in some timezones,
but it's not an official preemption.

(Same procedure as Tues. April 29 and Wed. April 30.)

This soccer coverage will be broadcast live in the European evenings,
which is 3-5pm Eastern USA, plus a 2-3pm Eastern prematch show.
Total timeframe: three hours 2-5pm EDT on those four dates.
On CBS only.

BeyondTheGates:
This fully officially preempts BTG in all timezones in USA and Canada.
Tues. April 29, Wed. April 30, Tues. May 6, and Wed. May 7.

Y&R and B&B:
On the affected dates, this will partially preempt Y&R and/or B&B
on CBS only in Mountain/Pacific/Alaska timezones.
Because Y&R and B&B air fully in Eastern/Central time, it's not an official preemption,
and those shows will be considered to have aired -- 
so you'd need to watch on another time/channel or online, or you'd miss it.

List of alternate times/channels for Y&R and B&B here:
https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68719-btg-yr-bb-april-may-2025-soccer-disrupting-cbs-soap-broadcasts/

Y&R and B&B will air normally in Canada and Australia in all timezones.

Sleeps. Because April was such an exciting non-stop action packed must see TV let us take time to breathe….

[Taoboi]

lol.

 

Yeah after last week, I will be surprised if it is otherwise. The biggest story should not be Diane's remodeling of the Abbott estate...though I did like she HAD a story.

Please let May have less garbage time.

The Y&R threads have shrunken, whereas I can barely keep up with the Beyond the Gates threads.

Today showed why almost no one comments on this crap soap.

-- We're back to pretending that there aren't SCORES of cosmetics companies out there --  only Jabot and whoever else opens up shop in Genoa City to be the competition. No real business runs this way.

-- Marchetti is supposed to be an internationally-renowned fashion house, yet both Chelsea and Sally are ready to walk after being high-level executives there.

-- It's not often women leave choice executive positions in their field of expertise to work in a business they're clueless about.

-- Sally had a lot of nerve shading Chelsea with "It's easy to see Adam's influence on you" when the same damn thing is happening with Billy.

-- I'm glad Lauren told Michael to quit, since we've all been mouthing that for weeks. None of that story is helped by CLB's over-the-top acting.

-- The scene with Victoria helping a sick, coughing Cole walk to their car on the way to the hospital was laughable. Wouldn't rich people call a damn ambulance?

-- Claire was really concerned, wasn't she? She stayed in the doorway instead of helping her mother, and then headed right to Crimson Lights for coffee. Why bother with checking on her possible terminal father at the hospital?

I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK.

When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc

It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat.

What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot.

And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point?

This show...
