And I didn't think that this show could get more convoluted..or the acting any worse. I was wrong
Do you guys really think that the these actors are good actors...Joe Clark, Abby,Sage,Summer,Kelly,Austin Billy? They can't hold a candle to the talent of Camryn or Kevin... and as far as im concerned Y&R doesn't need to write a "gothic" storyline...these writers are having a hard enough time writing for the present. What the HELL has happened to Jack and his balls? :
Jack never had any balls. lol

Good actors?
Joe Clark, yes, Summer, much improved since she first arrived, Austin, he's fine, Billy, yes but not in this role. Sage, too early to tell. Kelly, eh. Abby? HELLLLL NO!
Camryn to me is a big disappointment, not very much emotion at all, just reading the lines, Kevin, since they've given him a somewhat new personality, he's better, but I wouldn't shed a tear if he left the show.
Since you asked, JMO

I started watching Y&R way back in the 1980's. I remember long before Nick and Victoria were born.

--------------------

I had a hard time adjusting to Heather Tom when she began as SORASd teenaged Victoria. Then she became the essence of Victoria to me.

Years later, when Amelia Heinle took over the role of Victoria ... it took me ages and ages ... nearly 10 years ... to get used to the change.

But now Amelia *is* Victoria to me.

I really like Amelia Heinle's subtlety and the vulnerability under the toughness that she adds to the role of Victoria.

--------- ---------

I remember when Nick and Sharon were first dating.
I didn't like Sharon then, and I didn't like Sharon for decades.
Note: For this comment, I'm referring to the character of Sharon Collins Newman, not the actress Sharon Case.
I didn't trust Sharon Collins Newman, and felt she was vapid and manipulative.

--------- ---------

I remember back in the day when Nina, Cricket, Phyllis, and Lauren all had the hots for rock star Danny Romalotti. I saw all of Phyllis horrid crimes as they were on broadcast TV. I hated Phyllis back then. I remember watching TV the day that it was revealed in court that Phyllis had changed Daniel's DNA test. I did a fist pump that Phyllis got caught.

But then in 2006, when Phyllis got together with Nick, I thought it was extremely hot. For the first time ever, I found Nick interesting. For the first time ever, I was cheering for Phyllis. The Phick pairing rocked my world.

Then several years went by where I didn't watch any soaps at all. Then I discovered a youtube channel that had all the Phick episodes; and I stayed up all night for several nights watching all that I had missed. Awesome. (Sadly that youtube channel has vanished). I think the first few years of Phick were the best. The later years lost momentum.

-------------------

I started watching Y&R daily when I read that Jeanne Cooper had passed away. This was right after Phyllis had fallen into her coma. I wanted to see what the show would do about Katherine's passing. It took me a while to get caught up with all the Genoa City events/characters I hadn't watched in the prior several years.

-------------------

What interests me now:

I'm stunned at how much Sharon Case's acting has improved. I still don't like the character of Sharon Collins Newman. But I like the actress a lot more than I once did. I think the current writers have added subtleties to her character so it's not all black-and-white -- and that Sharon Case is doing a good job with that. She may have dubious conflicted motives -- but I can see that now. She's not just a one-note character anymore. (in my opinion).

Gina T. is completely ROCKING Phyllis. Omg, I can't wait to see her scenes each day. Not enough words to describe my admiration. I like that the writers and actress are giving her some subtleties, too.


I like how Greg Rikaart portrays Kevin. I've really started liking Kevin in the past couple years. Even when the writers give him very little to work with, I think he does a good job with what he's been given.

I think Camryn Grimes has rocked Mariah in the past year. Just wow. I like how Mariah has been written to have all these conflicting emotions, and the actress is doing great.

During the past two episodes, I think the writers have made Mariah too "nice". That makes her seem a bit "flat". Hopefully she'll have some spunky scenes with Phyllis!

And as I said above, I'm really enjoying Victoria now.

Me too! I still don't like the character and don't trust her.
Even Doris knew she was a goldigger.
I remember when Doris admonished Sharon and told her not to go after that boy's money or for his money.
I have searched in vain for a video of that but couldn't find it, it was in the beginning of their relationship, I think around the time of the gift of the coat.
Sharon Case is doing a much better job than in past years, probably due to the writing.
It's funny, I didn't like AH's acting before but now that Billy Miller isn't there she seems much better. Maybe she's taking acting lessons?
Gina T is terrific, I like her much better than MS. She just has a different style, there's an undercurrent of danger to her. I got to the point where all of MS's screaming and arm waving got to be too much, and the miscarriage scene was the end for me with both the actress and the character.
The first show I saw was with old Jill and they were wheeling John into surgery after his 1st heart attack.
That was back in the early 80's.

You right... victor bought it. Gabriel/Adam will be busy trying to break up Billy and Chelsea...Sharon is on her own now unless Nick puts his balls back
in her purse and goes to rescue her, again. :lol: i keep thinking that Sharon will end up pregnant or lie about it so Nick can come back to her...

Is there something in the air or the water in GC that keeps women fertile forever? Christine, who has to be pushing 50, is trying to have a baby. Now Sharon may have one? I hope the writers don't go there. Leave the babies for Summer, Courtney, Abby, Hilary and the other women who are still many years away from menopause.

I predict, Christine will NEVER have that baby.
Christine and Nina are the same age, and Nina has a 40 year old son, the math doesn't work. lol

The only thing I'm interested in is Adam hurrying his ass home to be with Chelsea and Connor. I cannot stomach Billy and his big mouth spewing nothing but hot air.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of him. Can't believe he wanted Stitch to go get the medical bag, who's the doctor there? Stitch! You go get the bag, billy-boy!

I freaking loved Tristan Rogers' character (is his name Colin?) TRYING to black-mail Devon. I have never liked Rogers' character much ... until now.

That was super seedy and super awesome at the same time. :blulaugh:

They (TPTB) are so going to drag this one out that by the time Neil catches them in the act (we all know how that is going to happen), everybody will be in on it and know about those two dimwits.

Love it.

Colin and Jeffery should form a partnership, Cheezy Cons inc.
I have a vision of Neil catching them because he will sneeze and his eyesight will come back right at the appropriate moment. lmao

They're taking so long with this whodababydaddy thing, I'm just wondering,
you know how everyone in GC is related, what if, somehow, it turns out that Billy and Stitch are half brothers.
Wouldn't that be something? :popcorn: :popcorn:

Jeffrey, yes!

Would be fantastic if he overheard Devon paying Colin his hush-money and he, too, wanted in on the action.

And THEN Gloria wonders where Jeffrey has been coming up with all this $$$ and she, too, blackmails Devon.

Then, a year from now when Neil's changing his new baby girl's diapers (we all know it will be Devon's baby) and gets his vision back and catches his wife and son in the act, everybody will have bled Devon dry of all his loot.

Poetic justice, baby!

I would seriously watch that play out every stinkin' day!!! :hail:

LOL writers give nice Neil a break. First Dru cheated with his brother, now his adopted son sleeps with his wife. It seems the only woman that was faithful to him was Karen. :sleep2:

I hope the baby belongs to Stitch because Billy has been up in Chelsea bed to care about Whiny harpy never satisfied with any man Victoria. They have written Abby with Daniel/Devon/Tyler/Carmine and they all have went south. I don't see any use putting her with Ben, since she been on his case about his father.
I think she jealous that Ben took out someone who hurt her family, heaven knows she tried to kill Tucker to rid him out of Ashley life.

Neil cheats on his women. The only reason he hasn't cheat on Hillary is is because he's blind right now, otherwise he would have.
Neil is a putz, pure and simple.

I wish someone would tell Stitch about that little eppy in Abby's life that she has conveniently forgotten about and so has her mother.

She never been happy with any man in her life, period. She lets her daddy railroad her relationships and gets all whiny when things don't go her way.
