Young and the Restless Questions

Questions for fans of this show - a show I've never understood the popularity of. Any help would be appreciated:

1) Does Nikki ever show a side other than a remote/cold, monotone snob who sounds like she has a stuffed up nose? Have we ever seen her cry? Be funny? Be angry? 2) Does this show have any humor in it? Has it ever? 3) What's the deal with Katherine and her nails? Why is she always posed with her hands at her face and those TALONS on display? 4) Whatever happened to Carol, Jack's secretary with CP? Did she just disappear and they never mentioned her again? 5) Same deal with Lynne, Paul's secretary that was the daughter of a writer (this show is two for two - I'm sure she and Lauralee Bell "auditioned under a different name.") 6) WHY is this show popular? NOTHING happens and everyone is either austere, on-the-nose or both.

Carol had polio; she died in real life; Laura Bryan Birn was well cast as the plain secretary who pined for her boss

Yes Nikki shows other emotions

OP, you appear to be posting from 1987... Haven't watched the show in a decade. I watched Y&R and OLTL as a kid in the 80's and 90's- Could not be more different until the Gottlieb era. Anyway...

I loved the look and the background music. It was languid and really beautiful to watch. The Days Of Heaven of soaps.

The dialogue was ATROCIOUS but comforting because it was very cliched and pseudo intellectual- It was intelligent but a cliche. Very hard to explain. It was how you would expect people in the 1950's to talk.... The characters would have these inane internal monologues...

The camera work was also beautiful for a soap. And you would always have one character in the foreground and background- with the character in the foreground looking off into space-

Very stylized and VERY CONSISTENT. The show had a consistent vision and tone which other shows could only wish to have with their endless headwriters and producers.

And yes, the show was VASTLY overrated and got the ratings because of its time slot and the others shows simply lost their viewers at a greater pace/rate- Its all fucking illusion. Like everything else in life.

I loved Nikki's and Lauren's allergy sounding voices. It was very nasal and California to me!!!

R4, I always wanted to be a cinematographer. And I was always shocked that a show shot on VIDEOTAPE could look so good.. That's my honest answer. I thought it was amazing that a videotaped soap could look better than a film. It's no small feat.

by Anonymousreply 5August 29, 2020 8:57 PM

I can answer the first 2 as someone who watched the show from childhood until my mid-30s...

1) Nikki has never, ever had a sense of humor. She's occasionally turned on the charm for Victor and Jack, but she doesn't really joke around. I've seen her cry a few times...the instance that sticks out in my head was when she was addicted to painkillers and alcohol. Victoria was home from boarding school and she, Nikki, Victor, and Jack went to dinner. At some point Nikki excuses herself and breaks down in tears because she's struggling with hiding her addiction. That was the early early 90s.

2) Y&R humor has always been lame compared to its sister show, B&B. Esther the maid was used as comic relief for decades, but other than her the show isn't known for its humor. The funniest moment I can recall: Back when Phyllis was psychotic, she would continually find ways to terrorize Cricket/Christine. Back when Paul and Christine were still together, they were about to get intimate while the lights were out, and after a few seconds Christine says there's someone else in the and she jumps to turn the lights on. That's when Phyllis emerges from the covers and says, "Paul, Chris...fancy meeting you here!"

That's all I got.

There was a funny bit when exes Sharon and Jack were with new partners, Adam and Emily, and they ran into each other in some tropical locale where Sharon and Jack had been before as a couple.

They wanted to downplay it given their new relationships. The lines went something like: Sharon: We were here a long time ago. Jack: Yeah, we don't remember it. Sharon: Yeah...we don't remember it.

Only the way Case read the second line it was like WTF you don't remember! Thereby, negating their attempts to downplay it.

Y&R was shot beautifully. B&B, too.

The show used to be more character-driven than plot driven.

I have hated the show ever since becoming aware of its existence in 1989 or so, when I started to watch ATWT and GL. The characters spoke in a way no human being I had ever known used language. It was so stilted, I could never watch more than two episodes in a row without making such enormous fun of myself, I had to give it up. I cannot explain its popularity.

It became watchable only during the very short reign of Lynn Marie Latham, if for no other reason than that the characters spoke like actual human beings, ones I knew and could (finally) recognize. She even introduced some Jewish characters in this very whitebread world.

She did not, however, do anything to get rid of the central conceit of the program, that the ancient old bag of crust known as Victor Newman was so essential, so compelling, that he was the very epicenter of life in Genoa City. Men wanted to be him, women wanted to be with him. His very "genetic material" was so desireable, women would hide in closets in hopes of extracting it from his penis.

Whereas, he's just this rich, old bag of bones who should have been gotten rid of long ago.

They've been trying to recenter the show around his various crotchdroppings, but the only one who's actually compelling enough to make me tune in on the regular is currently being written as the show's villain, and he just gets worse and worse. He's someone they could conceivably use as an antihero, the way they've done with TGVN all these years, but the only note they're giving him to play of late is "scoundrel." If the actor weren't so handsome, so charming, I'd have written the show off entirely twelve years ago (or whenever LML left).

But Mark Grossman is so completely my type, I started watching again two years ago. I noticed him on the TV in the lobby of a medical office I went to for some testing, and I just had to watch this guy tomorrow. That is the only reason I watch.

I skip entire episodes he's not in. I can't stand most of Y&R's young set. I give Kyle, Summer, Theo, and Abby the finger when they appear in the opening credits. Phyllis, too, but she's no "young set" member. How Nick can stick his dick...oh, forget it. Hope this answers some of your questions.

Nikki's rivalry with Sharon always had a tinge of humor to it, but she, Nikki, is the shows legacy character...I mean, after Kathrine's death SEVEN years ago, Nikki is next in line, as the "Lead" Grande Dame character. Granted, they are ALWAYS adding new characters, and other legacys pop up all the time, here and there: Lauren, Jill, maybe Christine...But it seems they are groomimg Sharon, Phylis, Chelsea, And Abby...Summer and Mariah, maybe even Hillary's twin and Lola...for longterm. I WISH the legacy characters would have more screen time...especially Lauern and Jill. I would also LOVE to see the Brook's girls come back, even if it's just short term, or Nina, even. They also need a LONG TERM Villan, who sways back and foth from evil to angelic...or maybe just evil...Like Shelia. They really missed the boat when they let Rey's wife (I forget her name) go, because she could have stuck her nose everywhere craeating havic in her wake...

I stopped watching Y&R in 1993 yet somehow I am sure it is just later the same day in Genoa City. The actors were impeccably groomed and wore beautiful clothes. And how could you expect Nikki to do anything other than swan around her living room sighing and worrying? There is always so much going ON! Plus she has her looong name to remember....Nikki Reed Newman Abbot Newman Foster Newman ( not to be confused with Ashley Abbot Newman Abbot Newman ad nauseum).

Budget cuts and a merry go round of writers have made Y&R just like all the others. For a long time it was considered a gold standard in daytime production values and consistent classic writing. Then Bell died, the power struggled happened, and now it has been coasting on past glories for about 20 years or so. Part of why Y&R worked for so long is because it was so old fashioned and was unashamed that it was soap.

It seems you are going on a "fishing exposition". OP.

by Anonymousreply 31October 27, 2020 1:51 PM

I must give MTS her props, she can cry (if that's an emotion you will accept) when the scene calls for it. She's become more astute which is in contrast to the dumb bimbo she played in the past. There is humor between her and Sharon given the situation. I remember a couple years ago they were fighting in the horses stables, that was funny. Jill and Catherine's feuds were humorous. Drucilla and Phyllis' rivalry was humorous until they let VR go (I'm guessing because of that smug bitch MS). Kevin and Gloria used to bring the campiness but they're all boring now. Looking at old episodes of Soaps that still exist and those that have been cancelled, I'm just as stumped as you are, OP, that Y&R has lasted as long as it has. Easily GH, Search for Tomorrow, Capitol, Days, Another World, ATWT and GL, were better in my opinion.

"The Young and the Restless" had some good moments back in the early-mid 1980's, particularly wrapping up the Brooks and Foster families to bring in the Abbotts, Williams and Newmans. Having Jill marry John Abbott kept original matriarch Liz Foster (Brooks) around a lot longer than had she just faded away like they originally intended after Snapper left. She was gone for a short time (said to be visiting Snapper and Chris in England) but came back to be involved in Jill's issues, especially when Dina was first introduced and when Jill was being blackmailed with puzzle pieces that showed her having sex with Jack. Stuart Brooks however got the shaft, really having nothing to do outside of investigate the mob after Liz left him, basically fading away and said in brief passing to have died off-screen. Robert Colbert (Stuart) and Brett Hadley (Carl Williams) had similar looks which may have confused viewers, although they could have kept Leslie Brooks around to at least have one part of the original core family there.

The John/Jill/Dina storyline was great. I still prefer Deborah Adair as my favorite of the many Jill's, but Brenda Dickson (with or without the "D") was great when she first came back until she went overboard with the camp that came around as her hair got fluffier. Even back then I could tolerate "the mustache" and former stripper Nikki as she wasn't so uppity then. Katharine churning her nails together to scheme against Jill was a lot of fun, but my favorite villainess during this time was Eve Howard (Margaret Mason) who was really scary when she went psycho and on different occasions tried to kill both Victor and Nikki, and threatened Julia with a knife.

I don’t watch any soaps now, but when I was a teenager I taped AMC and ATWT every day, and AW some days. When school was out and I wasn’t outside, I’d watch all the others just to see what was going on. I could never get into Y&R other than a random story or character now and then. It just never really interested me. I didn’t care for the “look” of it. I did like Eileen Davidson as Ashley; she was gorgeous.

Brendad Ickson was THE draw to Y&R!

by Anonymousreply 47January 31, 2021 6:47 PM

Catering to Eric Braeden's massive ego really hurt the show in my opinion. It was like a non-stop Newman show every episode. If it wasn't Nikki, it was Victoria; if it wasn't Victoria, it was Nick. And Victor all the time. Victor would tell policemen, lawyers, hospital staff what to do. He would beat men half his age, who were in better shape and still win. Ridiculous. Nothing has changed. The worst was his rivalry with Jack, which was great for a while, but when it always resulted in Jack losing and Victor winning, it became ridiculous and played out.

As old-fashioned as Y&R was, it took its time to tell stories, so the payoff was amazing. Now the stories make no sense or they're dropped entirely. There's no consistency anymore.

It has coasted long enough.

Yes, MTS usually plays every scene with that same snobby “I shit ice cream” smugness, though she was actually was very compelling in a storyline years ago where a maid that Victor hired was trying to gaslight sober Nikki by spiking into her morning OJ with vodka, where she eventually thought she was losing her mind. She actually played the scenes with an uncharacteristic vulnerability that one doesn’t usually associate with Nikki.

I don’t really remember Kay’s nails, as much as her bellowing voice, usually whenever Jill entered the room. She always reminded me of a geriatric Martha in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”

I watched the show on and off for many years. Getting rid of Ed Scott (Melanie’s husband) and Kay Alden was the beginning of the show’s downfall. That was in 2001. It’s been crappy that long. Alden is still involved occasionally, but nothing like before.

The loss of Jeanne Cooper really hurt as well.

R86 I think the show is not creative anymore. It is repeating storylines with the same characters/ families it has had since the 80s. After a decade Bill Bell changed focus from Brooks family to other families. I think Y&R shouldve done or committed to doing this with other families it had brought on. They focused too much on Niktor, Villy and Shick/Phic or Phack. The same way Bell's talentless son continues repeating that Steffy/Liam/Hope triangle crap

Why do they have what seems like most of B&B but only a pittance when it comes to Y&R? Sony is a mess when it comes to streaming.

by Anonymousreply 166March 9, 2021 6:01 PM

R166 Three thousand episodes of B&B is just something over a third of the entire soap, since episodes now number over 8,500. .. And while I haven't looked at Paramount+, if I had to guess, I'd say the majority of the B&B episodes they'll have will probably be from the last ten years or so, since these later episodes were more than likely already digitized and formatted for streaming when they were first produced. As I recall, CBS started streaming daytime soaps ca. 2007.

I might also guess that Sony Pictures may not want to license their historical episodes of Y&R to CBS-Paramount, because Sony could still be trying to figure out if they want to retain the Y&R library for their own (future) use at Crackle or some other site.

R171 Keemo returned to Vietnam. They occasionally mentioned him, but not lately, and nothing of great import. I remember a couple times Jack said something about him around Christmas, and I think Ashley once said she saw him when they were both in Paris at the same time.

You know, even if Bergman doesn't want to replay anything related to that rather eye-rolling and saccharine Vietnam retcon from the mid-90s, I'd suggest they still mine the diversity the story held and now have two of Keemo's young adult children show up in Genoa City after it's reported that single dad Keemo has been killed in a car accident or something. .. Jack's grandson could be an 19-year old Eurasian model-designer who's hired by Lauren at FenMo's, and his sister could be a high school sophomore hoping to study dance. Aunt Traci would immediately be reminded of Colleen and become her niece's surrogate mother. They could say these kids' absent mother was French eurotrash who pulled a Dina and took off, thereby leaving the door open for an appearance by her at some point.

It was a stupid retcon to think that Jack Abbott of all characters would have gone to Vietnam. He would have gotten some kind of deferment. Who wrote that mess?

by Anonymousreply 173March 9, 2021 11:56 PM

R173 Yeah, when you think of how Jack was written when Terry Lester was in the role, it made absolutely no sense. .. Bell seemed to ignore quite a bit of that, though, and it seemed like he was on a mission to turn Bergman's Jack into some kind of "Prince Charming." (Remember, that's who Bergman's Jack was dressed-up as at the memorable Masquerade Ball.) The character also began aching for babies, yet when Lester was in the role, Jack actually wanted Jill to have an abortion and even sought to have a secret vasectomy when he was married to Patty.

As for the Vietnam retcon itself, that was a Bill Bell story ca.1995 when he was still EP-HW. It was specifically written to correspond with the real-life 20th Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon (1975), which was getting a lot of play in the news at the time.

Yep, even Bell had his clunkers, and this was one of them.

As for Julia Pace Mitchell, I don't really care one way or another making an apparance. Her Sofia didn't make much of an impression except for the one she left in the corner of Neil's sofa. That exceedingly awkward sex scene is all I remember about the character.

[quote] Faith Newman needs a gay best friend.

Since Moses isn't really bio-related to either Duhvon or Dr. Nate, I'd suggest our new teenager have a thing for daddies with him trying to seduce one of these older men. .. Preferably Nate, since he's not only hotter, but more interesting than the ever-dull Duhvon. .. Moses could spike Nate's drink, turn the lights out, and crawl into Nate's bed, pretending to be Elena.

We'd have to wait awhile to find out if anything actually happened, though. .. Perhaps Nate passed out, and Moses just 'manhandled' him a bit' while taking some 'scandalous' cell phone pics for his growing collection. (Yes. We'd find out that Moses has done this type of thing before with the lacrosse coach at his former school.)

Of course, everyone is shocked at the randy teen's behavior, but sister-cousin Lily realizes she can't really say too much, because she has flashbacks of when she herself was 14 and mooning over Dru's fiancé, Dr. Wesley Carter, then soon moved on to 25-year old Kevin "Fisherman," and eventually ended-up marrying Candy Cane, a man who's in the same generation as her own two daddies, Neil and Malcolm.

Lily counsels the teen saying, "Look, Moz. I get where you're coming from, but you can't just go around undressing passed-out men and taking nekkid photos of them. .. And while we're at it, stop watching those porn videos at 'Twink Top.' You're not even 18 yet! I've contacted Sofia and told her to cancel your credit card."

What is going on with the wardrobe department over at Y&R? The clothes on the women are terrible. That brown metallic shirt Sharon was wearing a few weeks ago was terrible, and so was the white dress Victoria wore earlier this week. Yesterday Phyllis and Sharon looked like they were wearing the same shirt but in different colors. I'm convince that wardrobe hates Summer because she wears the cheapest, most basic looking frocks on the show. Naya is a new, recurring character, and she dresses better than Summer. Phyllis is always over dressed. The only characters who wear half-way decent clothes are Lauren, Amanda, Sally, and Abby. And don't get me started on the men. Victor was wearing a cheap, wrinkled jacket this week that had lint balls on it. Adam is a bit thick on top, so he should wear black or dark blue shirts, but they put him in a light gray sweater recently that accentuated his man boobs. Nate is the best dressed man on the show, and he wears scrubs.

Also, they are using that one hotel "suite" to death. That room is the home of Amanda, Billy, and Kyle/Summer, and it was used by Ashland when he visited GC. I wish they would spring for at least one other room or at least change the accessories when they change the room number on the front door. Better yet, bring back the GC Athletic Club. I liked that room better anyway.

I have no problem with Moses' hair - except it'sa little too long, especially in the back, and makes him look like he's wearing a fluffy helmet.

To write Paul off, TPTB should have his ex-wife, Lauren Fenmore, tell her husband, Michael LaBaldwin, that she just heard from Paul.

Apparently, Paul recently went on a fishing trip with his good buddy, Andy Richards, and the two men finally decided to become the Brokeback Mountain couple they were always meant to be.

Paul has already turned in his resignation at the police department, and he and Andy have bought a ranch together out in Wyoming.

"Gosh! That's one happy ending I never thought would happen," Lauren chortles. .. "Well, at least not while Mary was still alive!"

After his wife exits, Michael gets on the phone and calls his ex-boss, Patrick Baker (Gordon Thomson): "Hey, Patrick! It's Michael. .. Long time no see! .. But listen, I was wondering if you'd like to go antiquing with me in France this June? .. Yeah, Just the two of us."

[quote] I know everyone hated Steve Burton, but giving Paul and Nikki a child wasn't a bad idea.

Doing a cult baby story wasn't a bad idea, but making the mother be Nikki's was.

There was absolutely no way Nikki was pregnant during the months following the very short, summertime, New World commune story. Nikki had even left the cult for a short time during the story and tried to get back together with Greg. Then, after it was over, she did the same thing. Her attempts to seduce her husband failed and Casey told her to give it up and grant Greg the divorce. She soon moved on to talent manager-stripper, Cash, and bartender, Andy Richards. There was no time for a pregnancy. It was a totally made up retcon, based on JFP wanting to bring in her boy, Steve Burton, on and immediately connect him to two legacy characters.

Now, if they'd wanted to do a cult baby story, then it should have been with Paul and the cult leader, Sumiko, who seduced him - as well as the other young men in her cult. THAT sexual manipulation between her and the boys we actually saw. It was part of Sumiko's modus operandi, so it would have been very simple and believable to say she didn't even know she was pregnant when she was arrested and thrown in jail. She could have given birth while incarcerated, and the baby put up for adoption. They wouldn't even have to bring her back. Just say she died. It also would have added some diversity to the show, since she was Japanese, making her baby biracial. If they'd done that story back in 2012 instead of the stupid one we got, then Paul's kid could have been a hot 31-year old in search of his Genoa City daddy, instead of then-42 year old Dullan.

I would really like to see Amanda and her sister Imani go head to head. I think the show should put Devon and Amanda together, and then have Imani go after Devon simply because she hates Amanda. The Ashland Locke story doesn't do anything for me. Lauren overreacted about the Summer and Sally conflict, which seems to be much ado about nothing. I wish Elena would leave town. I find the character annoying, but I get the feeling that she is going to get pregnant and there might be a baby switch story in store for the future. Ashland keeps calling Kyle.

I think Y&R missed a great opportunity by not pairing Victor and Drucilla. That would have been so good. Think of the scenes between Drucilla and Nikki. Plus Victor, Drucilla, Malcolm, Nikki, and Katherine were always the top 5 favorite characters of the black audience, which makes up for a large part of the Y&R viewers.

I remember a long time ago Victoria Rowell once said she wanted Dru to hook up with Bradley Carlton. As I recall, those two did have some fun scenes together when street urchin Dru was living at the Abbotts (in the room off the kitchen). One time, Dru taught Brad how to do the lambada out by the pool. He was dating Ashley (Epperson) at the time, and they were playing up friction between her and Dru. (I see where Rowell and Epperson are still good pals and the latter is a regular in her web series.)

Many, many years later, TPTB eventually had HoLivia and Brad fuck, and it was funny because Dru was outside the hotel room cheering Liv on like she was fucking Brad vicariously. Then afterward, she wanted all the details from her sister.

Dylan did everything but save a litter of newborn puppies from a burning barn so that we'd like him

Also, R330, I like your idea; have Ashland go all psycho and kidnap Kyle and make him watch Ashland make love to Tara.

But that wouldn't work because we have no connection to Kyle and Tara.

I think that a really dark movie or streaming series would have Ashland take Kyle under his wing say after he has a falling out with Jack and then he kidnaps him and butt fucks him and says THAT"S for fucking my wife.

They should think about using those plot points for future story. .. I'd recast Noah, and finally reveal that he's gay/bisexual. He comes home from London, just having broken up with his boyfriend. When Rey's marriage to Sharon dissolves, Noah would serve as a sounding board for Papi.

Ooops! .. Something happens between the two men out in The Newman Barn. Must be all those farm animals.. lol. .. But it turns out that this isn't the first time Rey's been with a guy. He's just been in denial, since his police academy days when the training sergeant he had an affair with advised Rey to remain closeted, if he didn't always want to be seen as "the gay cop."

Just to add ... I think what they're doing is making NuFaith look somewhat younger than the actress really is.

IRL, Caster is over 18, whereas LMDP was only 13. If they want the characters of Moses and Faith to be at Walnut Grove, then they'll be high school age, so yeah, "16" seems to be about right.

As an actress who's legally an adult, they lose the expense of having to have a guardian on set, plus she can do what appears to be "sex" scenes with no problem.

Also, it actually makes sense that Faith is older, since they sorased her Cousin Reed a few years ago, and these two Newman kids were basically in the same generation, just a couple years apart. He's now college age.

And sort of funny how he's taller than Joshua Morrow. Faith may need to do some stretching exercises to prep for a long pencil dick.

The Phyllis v. Sally "rivalry" is boring. .. And Aunt Jack clutching her pearls over Sally's behavior is even more boring.

"Grandmas" Nina and Ashley sitting around yakking about transplanted embryos? What a waste! (And did ED do something to her face?)

And if they're going to have "Chance" text Abby, can they at least show some hot guy (as him) sending her naked selfies? .. Ordway's husband, who played TempChance, used to be an underwear model, so maybe he could submit a few pics.

Yes, Genoa City is truly Bumfucke, Nowhereseland. It was on the route they took to get to Lake Geneva, where they had a house. (If you ever go to Lake Geneva, WI and take the boat tour, the guides will point out the lakeside Bell mansion for you.)

Well, it's a formula, and many speculated that the OLTL offer was less about Dollars per Episode and more about the Total Number of Episodes, so in reality an actor can actually be making less dollars per episode, yet come out 'even' or ahead on annualized basis, if the number of episodes are increased. ..

And honestly, I have to agree. .. Still to this day, I see Heinle as more of a Mackenzie Browning character. .. Plus, they still could have played her in both the Billy and JT relationships, since Mac had been involved with both of guys since the time they were teens.

I always thought it was strange that Heather Tom never came back to Y&R and it was ridiculous they let her go.

But she seems happy at B&B.

I remember reading someone saying Gina Tognoni would have made a good Victoria Newman and I can kind of see it. I think she would have been better than AH.

by Anonymousreply 454April 15, 2021 11:48 PM

R454 When it was announced that AMC and OLTL were being cancelled, it was reported by Deadline that Sony's "get list" included Gina Tognoni, Josh Kelly, Jacob Young, and Debbi Morgan. .. So Gina was definitely on someone's radar for something. .. And Josh Kelly would have made a great replacement for Billy Abbott (imho), since Billy Miller seemed to constantly be looking for something else when he was in the role with his one-year contract and time-off requirements. The article didn't indicate that was the role they were thinking of for Josh, but I can definitely see it. .. And of course, they actually got Debbi Morgan, but the writing for YoHarmony was pretty bad.

R427, you may well be right Ashley Milan (little Vicki)'s last listed Y&R appearance is June 1990; while Heather Tom's is listed as Dec. 9 per imdb.

IMDB is famously inaccurate on soaps, but not always.

by Anonymousreply 459April 16, 2021 5:49 AM

R459 That date for Heather Tom is totally off. You'll notice that next to it at IMDb, it says "credit only." That means she didn't actually appear. But why she would even get a screen credit sounds sketchy. As you note, IMDb can be inaccurate, especially for something 30 years ago. But I know she didn't appear on camera till Spring 1991. That first episode they have for her at IMDb that doesn't say "credit only" (the one dated March 19, 1991) seems about right to me.

All true.

One of the big problems with Y&R is it reached the stage where a lot of NYC soaps also hit rocky grounds. There's a core group there that's been there for 30-40 years (Jack, Victor, Nikki and a few others) and they've really exhausted story for all of them. And some of those actors have....um, limited abilities, so they stick with the same story or same attitude all the time (you got that?) Thus there is little movement with either plot or character in those corners.

The Dina story, as convoluted as it was, was actually the best thing they did on that front in years (minus the questions about Jack not being John's son) and it was wise for them to drag it out a bit. It would be wise for them to revisit Victor's past, not for a new love or new illegitimate child but to find another layer of him (if such a thing exists) - maybe he helps someone he was in the orphanage with, or something like that.

Stories do seem to go nowhere, and while Y&R always had a more laid back acting style, it's so flat now as to induce comas.

No show seems to have a clear idea of what story to tell. Bill told many have vs have not stories but I think with all the economic unrest the networks are reluctant to show that now, so everyone is rich and boring.

by Anonymousreply 461April 16, 2021 1:33 PM

Y&R is stuck like all of these shows are stuck. In order to hold on to the audiences they have, they can't innovate and be shockingly provocative, like soaps used to be. For some reason, the soap audience, what's left of it, is very conservative and provincial. When the shows try to break out of the box, even a little, fans and fanbases lose their shit. So the writers and producers are trapped.

I ask anyone to name one thing that is young or restless and Young & Restless? The show has been unable to pivot to a new generation, because what they were doing worked for so long and no one wants to fuck with the #1 show. And they can't seem to find a writer who can write the show. And it's the number 1 show, but the production values are no better than Days - which has the smallest budget of the 4 remaining soaps. So what's going on over there?

R432, it was money.

Bill Bell paid her a lot to return back in 1997; she won her second Emmy in 1999.

She came up for renewal in 2003 and this was the beginning of the show cutting salaries, which were high.

Rather than take a cut, Heather left, moved to New York and joined One Life to Live; the money might have been less per show, but she might have worked more as Kelly than she would have as Victoria.

She got an Emmy nom in Supporting and was first on her feet, applauding when nominee competitor Genie Francis won for GH.

After OLTL ended, Tom came back to LA and landed the role of Katie on BB. She's won FOUR Emmys playing the part.

I like the new Amanda Sinclair. The other one, in comparison, is a Sour Patch Kid, like Robin Strasser or PSS Girl herself, Heather Tom. I hope they keep this one.

R520 Original Amanda (Mishael Morgan) is already back on set and will be seen again June 1. Personally, I've never understood the big hoopla over her. She's pretty and all, but I find her very monotone in delivery and one-note in the emotion department, often coming off flat and apathetic. Scenes with her and Dull Duhvon are sleep-inducing. (And yes, he's equally flat.) At least with TempAmanda (Mosley), there's glimmers of life.

The role of Amanda seems like a more natural fit for Karla Mosley than it does for Misheal Morgan.

Karla is one of the best temp recasts I have ever seen on soaps.

Mind-boggling they won't bring Dru back; Sure, I've read the rumors, but Eric Braeden nearly killed Peter Bergman in his dressing room when he felt threatened by him.

Back when Kristoff was alive, people said oh, they can get someone else for Neil; I'd ask yeah, they have...lots of times...name three of his other leading ladies.

People say....oh, well, there was that one girl...I forget her real name, but she played...oh, I forget her character name...wasn't one of them on Fame? I can't remember.

When KSJ was still alive I could see a place for Dru on the canvas, but now, not so much.

And realistically, having worked in a corporate environment that supported human resources law on occasion, I can see why a company like Sony wouldn't want to re-contract with a walking lawsuit.

I’d rather keep Imani than Amanda.

by Anonymousreply 525May 8, 2021 12:24 AM

Plus it’s been too long to bring back Drucilla. She went over that waterfall like 15 years ago? Rowell is the only one that can play her. I think this part is really owned by her. But Victoria not only burned her bridges but the whole town behind her with the show.

by Anonymousreply 526May 8, 2021 1:06 AM

R524, R526, I agree...

BUT imagine Dru coming back and all set to reunite with Neil and then Olivia or Lily or Devon has to tell her.

The OLD Y&R could pull that off; where characters let emotions wash over them...not this wham bam thing they do now.

For example, I can't believe Kyle is flying off to NYC to meet his son; watch him from a distance at least.

Instead he's all 'oh, no! Sally knows my secret!'

WHO CARES?

Sadly, it's true; if Rowell had handled wanting to come back differently, she'd be back.

The woman came from nothing though in the foster care system; she taught herself ballet by reading a book.

On-screen, she and Kristoff were magic; and Dru v Phyllis was gold.

Y&R hadn't seen a scenery chewer like that since Jeanne Cooper was playing Katherine Chancellor moaning and distressed. I was happy when she left, personally.

I always thought Jeannes eye rolling kept her from winning the Emmy. When she cut that shit out, she won. Coincidence? I think not.

Is Michael Muhney doing something else besides acting? He hasn’t gotten a lot of roles since the show let him go. I can’t imagine a family of 5 living on his limited acting roles.

R530 I think the wife works, but also property records indicate that they sold the house in Sherman Oaks (*) in 2019, making a $710,000 profit. .. The older son should be over 18 now, so it's possible he's out of the house and/or in college maybe working or living elsewhere. .. The apartment they appear to be leasing, though, ain't cheap by any means, so while it looks like they may have downsized, they certainly wouldn't be destitute.

And good grief .. he might have slimmed down and gotten toned from all the cycling he does, but the longish, slicked back hair and pornstache is downright creepster-looking - not to mention he's 45, but looks over 50. (Photo from last month.)

He apparently thought he could be just as blowhard-y as Eric but it bit him in the ass big time.

If he'd just kept his mouth shut, come in, done his job, and gone home, he'd still be on the show today.

Sharon and Nikki praying together. LOL! .. Where's Brock Reynolds when you need him. .. Kumbaya!

OMG! .. They actually remembered Nick's other "son" CHRISTIAN.

The valets at Phyllis' hotel all wear snug pants with their primary ASSet on display. The Grand Phoenix must be getting a reputation as a full-service hotel.

Hopefully, another head case kills Chelsea in the nuthouse. .. Can Victor arrange for that, too?

All in all, Wednesday's episode was like an exercise in "Okay, folks! Let's wrap this mess up!"

For something different, they should have Hot Daddy Ashland make JaBottom an indecent proposal:

"You want this to go away? .. Alright. .. You let me fuck you six ways to Sunday, and I'll allow Tara to have primary custody of the towhead. .. And don't act so fazed. .. I've already spoken to your buddy Vanderway about what you got into when doing your bartending gigs in The Hamptons."

There used to be a rule that you didn't have characters whose names began with the same first initial, to make the writers' lives easier. As r540 points, Y&R *really* doesn't give a shit about that anymore.

As for Tara Locke, we knew this was coming because (a) it's the only development that makes sense and (b) the actress playing Tara has been in the contract credits since she appeared on the show.

And don't get me started on L-eslie, L-orie, L-ance, and L-ucas. la-la-la-la-la .. And during this time, Bell went ahead added L-arry & L-inda L-arkin in a L-ame story that never gained any traction, so they were written off. Thank gawd.

R544, so oit was Goodbye, Larry?

And did Linda Larkin go on to star in Alice?

R543, Ashland and Ashley's 'smush' name will either be Ashley or Ashland

Seriously, I could see Burgi and Eileen having great chemistry; it's ridiculous that they did that with the name.

I can't imagine what it might be like to be a scriptwriter or breakdown writer on a show and you can't have a conversation with your head writer where you could safely point something like that out.

R549 Marla probably won’t win. They normally don’t give career Emmys in daytime.

by Anonymousreply 551May 26, 2021 8:28 PM

I'm a big fan of Marla's and wouldn't mind if she won, but I'm not really a fan of handing out regular awards for "sentimental" reasons. I just hope her reel is competitive. Supporting is typically a tough category.

Personally, I think Marla might have been more appropriately placed and have a better chance of winning on merit for her 2020 work, if she'd entered in the "Guest Performer" category. They changed the rules for that category -- so that it no longer has to be new character -- so I think she would have qualified there, especially since her appearances in 2020 were really very limited (7 episodes and couple with flashbacks). Plus, there was a beginning and end to the arc she was being played in. That point is also mentioned in the award rules for the Guest Performer category, so what she was being played in would have been a good fit.

by Anonymousreply 552May 26, 2021 8:59 PM

r552, I think you're right. I think Marla would have had a better chance in the Guest Performer catagory.

Most of the daytime voters aren't going to recognize the 50+ year history Marla has in daytime, so she's unikely to win in Supporting.

Was Hot Daddy Ashland cruising Chancellor Park for a Grindr hook-up? (I notice Burgi's been moved to contract status.)

It's kinda funny when Twink Moses is in scenes with Li'l Devon. The lad must be 6'4. (I notice he's not on contract.)

OMG! They've finally built a new set (for Lily & Billy). .. Apparently The Home Deport on Sunset had a parking lot sale to get rid of some old in-store displays and TPTB took advantage of it.

Speaking of sets. .. It's SUMMER. .. Has anyone reminded Morina that he might want to think about resurrecting one of the swimming pool sets to give viewers some totally gratuitous skin shows?

R556 I can't tell you why Burgi's name isn't among the cast on the crawl streaming at cbs.com, but I happened to watch the episode on plain old television today, and the credits that ran with that on-air broadcast had Burgi's name right up there alphabetically after LaBergman and Braeden, with the rest of the contract cast following. That's the only reason I noticed it.

by Anonymousreply 557May 27, 2021 11:50 PM

Moses is using the same shade of lip gloss as Lily. .. Or is he stealing hers? .. That might be an interesting story.

Who stuffed Nikki in that lavender dress!? .. She's two shades away from being a grape fruit roll up.

I'd almost forgotten that Aunt Jack was a Hillbilly Heroin addict. .. That was one of Griffith's first storylines during his HW stint back in 2012-13.

TPTB should have included Little Bug and Nina in the memorial to Neil. .. Those two could have had a good laugh over how Neil helped rescue Drusilly and them from the evil porn producers. .. It would be nice to have a better print of the scene below made from a current flashback.

OK - I can see why "Vinny" thought Neil was one of the porn actors showing up for the shoot, but Danny? .. "Uhh sorry. We're not doing any gay stuff today. Come back on Friday when Chi Chi will be here. And make sure you're shaved everywhere."

R560 At this point, they could easily move Richard Burgi into the "ruthless" role currently occupied by Hans.

To reinforce the idea that Ashland is like Victor they can have him kidnap JaBottom, imprison him in his cellar, feed him rats, and strap him to a butt machine.
