I have tried hibiscus tea and to be honest it was few years ago . I didn’t like it, for me it was kind of exotic and starge flavour, But somehow later I didn’t mind the flavour at all! I so of mix ( for me ) of citrus flavour plus black tea with sort of kin of exotic and oriental twist ;). It’s a sour flavour… But it’s delicious. So whenever they mention the hibiscus tea in Y & R especially for Dinna . The taste and goodness of it always comes to my mind . i can’t help… Read more »
This is strictly for fun…but, what if Mia and Arturo didn’t work out and Mia came back to town and got with Theo. Lola’s head would pop off!
it would
Theo can easily be in Dina’s will. I would not be surprised if she kept tabs on her son, knew he died, and knew about Theo, so included him in her will. She also could have just left a sum or trust to Eric and his descendants. The only problem with this would be that she may not have wanted her children to know, but perhaps she decided to reveal it when she is gone, it included them without revealing the true connection.
Hi Ali, I’ve been listening to your podcast for a couple months now and really enjoy it! Like most people, I watched Y&R when I was in high school and college in the late 80s and early 90s, then took a break and rediscovered it “on demand” in 2015! Thanks for creating a positive community of fans (stark contrast to all the haters/complainers on the FB fan group!) Re: Cain, I TOTALLY feel you! Other than being totally dreamy, Cain is a nuanced character with lots of shades of gray – perfect for soaps! I would have loved to have… Read more »
How can Theo be a Mergeron when Dina only became a Mergeron through marriage? Should he not be considered a Brooks?
I thought the same thing, I am sure it was just a slip from Ali, not that I should speak for her. He is a Brooks, and I would like to see a new Brooks character on screen to be a relative to him from that side. My preference would be a daughter or son of Lesley, she was always my favorite sharing my name spelling and all, but they would probably do Lori as I think she has more backstory like with Victor. I am hoping they don’t go evil with Theo, because he is a character, and likely… Read more »
What a great idea—-Theo would be a perfect fit for GC Buzz! I know many people didn’t enjoy that set, but a gossip show in the right hands could be fun. He could bring on his influencers and local business leaders and Nick during his upcoming campaign. Hillary was always a bit too mean in her approach IMHO, but Theo would have the right mix of charm and snark. Alas, it seems like GC Buzz is a thing of the past?
Lesley, like your take. All story points, spot on! Indeed, for longitivtiy Theo need not go so dark he can not be pulled back, and he won’t. Unclear if Y&R is interested in Brooks nostalgia on a limited basis for long time fans. Right. Lori, would be the one with her more contemporary Victor connection, though Vic not directly tied to the Theo story… What a great Y&R concept to mix the old (as in the very beginning) with the new! Classic soap opera. Remains to be seen what will be highlighted… So you are calling Theo the “best new… Read more »
You are right! I was so focused on Theo’s connection to Dina that it left me with a Brooks blind spot! But, did I mention that I’m very upset about Cane leaving the show? I mean, I’m practically a grieving widow here…
Yes Theo would be a Brooks and it would be nice to have a newspaper magnate in town. I guess Eric is still a ghost, I don’t think he is alive, How did he die anyway? As far as Cane goes, Sorry Ali but I was never a fan of his but I really think the only reason they got rid of him is because his whole family is gone. He will probably be sent to jail for this Con with his father Colin whether he was involved or not but I think the money will go back to Devon
I think these are all great ideas. Why doesn’t the current regime of writers explore the possibility of resurrecting the pioneering families that help to establish the show’s fan base from the beginning? I know this opens up the possibility of only appealing to an older generation of viewers, the kind of consumers most advertisers are uninterested in soliciting, still I find it fascinating that some younger viewers might be interested in taking a ride along the nostalgic trail and get acquainted with these venerable icons of the show that nowadays are only mentioned as a passing reference. Theo could… Read more »
From your lips to God’s ears. Imagine the possibilities. I love your ideas regarding Theo and the Brooks revolution. Let it be done!
Theo doesn’t need to accept Kyle’s (Abbott)crumbs, he is a BROOKS. I hope some, or all, of the Chatters ideas come to fruition. Make Theo a real force to be reckoned with, a business magnet. He’s young and could forge a long career on Y&R. I’m just so stupidly fond of Theo, I think he’s the best thing to happen to Y&R in recent history.
