Y&R: July 2025 Discussion Thread

[Antoyne]

They actually have some real chemistry too.

[MontyB]

Good to know.

[Taoboi]

7-2

 

I tuned in for the Amanda/Devon scenes. Outside of that...or a shirtless JR, NO, JM, or CF...I think I'm good.

 

And then knowing what's coming for Cole...and surprised THAT part of the story is on screen.

 

ON BREAK. 

Very much so.

 

 

I just wanted to add that before this latest (and unnecessary) plot twist...it did seem like Damien was Dumas and that yes, it seem to be leading to a pairing with Lily. After all, it was her that got him to mend fences with his dying mother whom presence kicked off the whole (surprisingly good before now) storyline.

I hate how they shoehorn "Dumas" into the dialogue; the way the characters keep repeating that name. It only works when Victor goes on and on about "I'm Victor Newman, dammit!" I wish there were a solid B story on the show. Or at least one that kept my interest.

LOL check out the tweet in  this post

I’m in a waiting room so I’m not watching on purpose.

I looked up and guess what Danny and Christine are doing? Eating a meal in an empty restaurant.

Looks like Mariah’s been doing the most because she smothered a man to death. Okay. Who was this guy?

Based on Victoria and Claire’s reactions you’d think they underbid on a new house not that a man died and half their family has been missing for days.

Friday July 4 US (Thurs July 3 CDN).  Adam arrives in France, walks three miles up a trail, and finds the Newmans on a train car.

Adam is startled to learn that they've never been inside the château and that they are living on the train car and spending time in a maze.

At this point, I only watch Y&R because I love the characters.  The storylines are barely storylines at all. The writing makes me yawn. And its been this way for several years.  I feel like it's Another World all over again -- just watching for the characters, not the storylines. And I felt that way about AW for the final twenty-years of the show.  I'm not going to make the 20-year mark for Y&R, I'm afraid.  Please give Y&R an effective and experienced head-writer asap.

Is this the longest someone has been EP and HW in recent history? Seems JG has been there for ever. That scares me because it makes me think we’ll never be rid of him and they’re just gonna let him drive this show into the ground.

This month so far has been "what is this mess?"

-- These Claire and Victoria "Goodbye to Cole" scenes are really underwhelming. Claire makes it about herself and whether or not she's grieving properly? Jesus.

-- And now we're URN SHOPPING???

-- Tessa and Daniel should be banned from Chancellor Park when they have their guitars. That song from Tessa when Mariah got there was soooooo awful.

-- How many more times do we have to watch Mariah in those B&W scenes before we find out she used that pillow to smother some ancient guy who kissed her?

-- Are Mariah and Tessa ever with their kid? Tessa told a story about Aria -- all offscreen. That was right after Claire told a story about Cole -- all offscreen.

-- I do not give a rat's ass if Mariah and Tessa make up.

-- Cricket and Danny stopped being interesting 20 years ago. Their scenes are PAINFUL.

-- Aside from Cricket and Danny, Society was completely empty. Not a soul in sight.

[janea4old]

I figured she'd killed (or tried to kill) the old man from her flashbacks.  It seems to explain why she doesn't want Tessa to know -- she doesn't want Tessa to be an accomplice after the fact.

Cole was on a total of 8 episodes this year and we're supposed to be invested in his illness and death.

I'm betting the guy Mariah 'killed' will come back to life and haunt her and we will find it's all been a set up. Another illogical 'suspense' story from the pen of Mr Josh Griffith.
