What do you mean?
I don't know how to explain it but they always want their actors to face a camera - it looks very unnatural when they have 3-4 people like that. (I mean you can clearly see that actors are hitting their marks and not moving naturally).
If they weren't facing the camera then wouldn't they be out of the scene?

But why do they have to have all 3 of them in one camera shot?

LOL. I don't know what their problem was. I think it is considered modern but maybe their cameramen aren't used to this type of filming or something.
I heard a lot of people complaining about that.

I'm not really sure what you mean, it looks normal to me. Phyllis is standing by the door while Lauren is talking to Jack

It's just very unnatural how they stand up and go to their places (hit their marks). But it's just an example. I don't like a lot of blocking choices on Y&R, especially when there's 3 or more people in one shot.

the writers must have been planning their Christmas vacation because today's episode is on the boring side.
even with a fierce Bitchilary and Gloria.
seriously, the writers can't expect this will keep us entertained during the wretched cold months?
for crying out loud, NetFlix is offering some wonderful series at this time.
I got too busy to watch this epi. Glad to know I didn't miss much. I noticed from recaps of the next show, its more of the Reed BS with the Villy propping crowd. Bitchlary is becoming wishy washy as well. Sounds like another skip. Thank goodness Days of our Lives is keeping me entertained currently.

Hilary really loves Devon, that is clear while watching today's episode. She just also loves power. Who can blame her?

I wish they put to rest the practice of someone always having to get something to drink before or during a conversation.

There was a spoiler at the beginning of the year about Jill having a health crisis or something, or maybe it was just a crisis in general but I'm wondering when we're gonna be seeing that? I want Jill to have her own storyline outside of trying to reunite Billy and Victoria.
Maybe something will happen when Colin arrives?
I came back to watching Y&R for the new writers and am wondering where this Jill story is too.

It seems like they replaced her with Gloria in Lauren's story. Doesn't Jill own 50% of Fenmores still? Lauren never mentions her. Jill bailed out Billy with Brash and Sassy, so why can't she use Chancellor Industries to help out Fenmores too? Gloria is too cartoonish I want business Jill in this story instead.

Because the show no longer wants to draw attention to the fact that Lauren and Jill were written to be sisters. That's why Jill is MIA. Not to worry though, her clown husband is coming back for her storyline lol.

well the show opens with weak ass 40-Watt looking at Bitchilary.
40-Watt must be permanent fixture in GC because he got his own apartment set.
while Neil doesn't have one.
I'm sick of Devon. Unfortunately Kay's money hasn't made him interesting. Hillary could be intriguing if they let her become a full vixen. She's too reluctant. Nothing like Jill or Phyllis back in the day.

I'd love it if they somehow made Jill a Foster again, but until they ret-con the ret-con on Lauren & Jill they should acknowledge the sister relationship. To me it's the elephant in the room throughout the whole story.

Sadly, Hilary was stuck in 2 marriages too quickly before getting enough time as a vixen. I too would like to see her play the field and do some seduction. It would go hand in hand with her job and trying to get the various scoops.

I get strong Jill vibes from Hilary. I think they're a lot alike. Devon and Hilary's marriage is similar to John and Jill's. Maybe that's why Jill hates Hilary so much? Because she sees herself in her.

I'd love to see Hilary date Jills son Billy and the two of them could go head to head like Sharon and Nikki!

I could go for Billy & Hillary. Jill would flip out! The Neil/Devon/Hillary/Lily merry-go-round needs a break.

exactly, Jill doesn't know anything about the money problems, as co-owner, she should be getting monthly reports. I think they're either going to undo the sister act or just ignore it. It never was believable in the first place.
Maybe on her deathbed, Lauren's mother will admit she lied just to stick it to her and made Jill her 1/2 sister. :shrug:
