So wait .... Fauxren is standing right behind Michael, neither of the 3 people are reflections - Lauren starts shooting at Fauxren and hits mirrors?

I canna change the laws of physics cap'n, unless I'm on the Young and the Restless.

MAB is getting alot of blame, but no one can suck this bad on their own.

So, here's a shout out to all the people at Y&R that suck:

Maria Arena Bell
Hogan Sheffer
Scott Hammer
Natalie Minardi Slater
Maria Kanelos
Beth Milstein
Tom Casiello
Janice Ferri Esser


You all are a blight on the legacy of The Young and the Restless, and should never write again!

Serious, the WHOLE team needs to be decked out. No Paul Rauch addition?

I wouldn't fault Rauch. The production values on Y&R are still up to par. Unfortunately, it can't overpower the horrible writing it has to coincide with.

I don't think they are at all. Rauch definitely brought the shows values down SIGNIFICANTLY.

I watched today's show and laughed out loud. I honestly can't believe how far this show has fallen in such a short amount of time. Does MAB really believe that this is what Y&R viewers want to see?
She doesn't care what we want to see, it's all about her and what she wants to see.

With this show making all that money for Sony as they claimed during the EB debacle, I wish Sony would step in and be all "Like, yo, we cant sell this shit to Europe!!!"

It must have been funny for a UK audience watching Y&R during its attempt at a gay story with Phillip, given all their Jean-Paul McDouches, and crossdressing bisexuals in their serials.

"Even iron bends"..Victoria Rowell

Jesus, take the wheel!!! :shame:

I watched the episode, and I was SHOCKED at the stupidity that I witnessed!! Maria has TRULY lost her cartoon mind!! TRULY!! :shrug:


First of all, the dialogue is contrived and sappy. It's almost like I'm watching "Passions" all over again. Smart characters acting stupid just to justify the stupidity!!! What's wrong with that picture???? This episode was not Y&R, this is a cartoon!!! :embarrassed:


Okay, so Lauren and Jana FINALLY get rescued by Kevin, but instead of RUNNING LIKE HELL, since they KNOW that Daisy and Sheila 3.0 are still nearby with GUNS, they choose to stand there and shoot the shit??? Get the FREAK outta dodge and catch up in the CAR, where there aren't any gun-wielding psychos waiting to emerge from the shadows and KILL you!! Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shame:

Why is Phyllis FORGETTING that she is a mother of TWO children and running off all willy nilly with Michael to rescue/help save Lauren??? Is Lauren more important to her than her KIDS or her husband?? She already cheated death ONCE this week...so why try for a second time???

:sheep:

And Lauren clearly has learned NOTHING about how to shoot a gun over the years, after dealing with all the psychos that she's dealt with (Shawn Garrett and Sheila!). All that damned shooting she had to do at the end of the episode, aside from being done for dramatic effect, proves that she needs to invest in some TARGET PRACTICE lessons!!! :frustration:


Amber has become TOO whiny and melodramatic for me!! Put her out of her misery--- ship her back to LA!!!!

And make no mistake that Rauch has his fat paws in the story department, despite claims to the contrary! He talked about the "clone" stuff at GL being out there and HE forced it on B&E! HE made the decision to write Alex out because "she basically serves the same purpose as Alan" or words VERY much to that effect! And he HAS brought the production values down! I'm hardly objective where this gas bag is concerned but he started show killing in the SEVENTIES and he hasn't let his WELL advanced AGE slow him down since! DUMP RAUCH!!! :soapbox:

You can't even COMPARE the BEST US soap to the WORST UK show! American soaps have been sucking hind tit for YEARS com! I don't expect production values to be the same here, but the WRITING has sucked for a VERY long time!

I've said this before, but MAB isnt putting anything on air that she isnt wanting to. Just ask Josh Griffith what happens to those that try to go against Mrs William Bell Jr.

I believe that! She's bad enough without him! But this old douche bag is bringing out the worst in her! I want her gone just as much! Well, ALMOST as much! She SHOULD be forced to change her name from Bell, however! :drunk:

No doubt. Haiduk is a great find, and they completely wrecked her possibilities making her kill Colleen and shoot Victor. They could have played the Mary Jane thing out for years, and had her a cool and calculating Sheila/Phyllis villainess that people could have been interested in. Not this blubbering nut job.

I'm not following this Patty/Emily stuff at all. What a confusing, convoluted mess. Why won't the writers let it end?!

The writing has sucked for a while, but, imo, it got worse when Rauch came on board.

As far as Y&R goes, Latham was a disaster! When MAB first turned up, I was in her corner because the show began to at least RESEMBLE something approaching THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS! She sucks on her own but I agree that adding Rauch to the mix was a recipe for DISASTER!

I completely disagree- Haiduk is a HUGE part of the problem. She is the most overrated daytime actress to come along in a LONG while. In the hands of a capable actress, this storyline may have at least been entertaining in a campy sort of way. Just look at Sarah/Lauren- yeah that story sucked, but at least Tracey Bregman's performance made it somewhat entertaining IMO. It only lasted 3 weeks, yet it was always clear to me who was Sarah, who was Lauren, and who was Sarah imitating Lauren.

Half the time, I'm not sure where Patty ends and Emily begins.........Frankly, Emily is just Mary Jane Pt Deux and always has been. Can't wait to see Haiduk kicked to the curb- her overexposure has largely contributed to the downfall of Y&R. That and this shitastic writing.

Oh, and Paul Rauch sucks donkeyballs- always has. A true EP runs a tight ship and wouldn't have let the show turn into the mess it has.

IMO, the only EP in daytime right now that earns their title is Jill Farren Phelps. It may be an unpopular opinion, but JFP produces the hell out of any show that she helms. I've never been a GH fan & never will be but I don't deny that JFP runs that shit. She's the only EP I've ever followed from show to show & I'm never disappointed. Santa Barbara '87-'89. Guiding Light '91-'94(5). Another World '95-'96. OLTL '98-'01. GH '01- present. For further evidence, go to SoapCentral & check out the Emmy nominations & wins for each of those years. What you'll find is that the actors on those shows while JFP was EP got the nominations & took home the trophies.

Back on topic. Y&R is craptastic!

Well I'm going to miss Amber. I hope they do her justice if she does indeed return to B&B and isnt back to being Ric's bratty ex-wife, but they usually fuck up the transfering of characters between the two shows.
