Ali, you mentioned about character inconsistency last week. This is true. For example, why did Paul need Sharon and Scott to tell him that Crystal may be able to identify who the ring leader of the operation is? That never crossed his mind before? Very silly and not realistic. I think Paul needs a good partner again like he had in the past. He had Detective Chavez who was excellent and also Detective Harding whom I really liked. Kevin would also work closely with Paul who is also gone from the show. I think Y&R should think about having Paul’s… Read more »
Paul’s brother Steven would be an interesting tie in, I think he was reporter, and could have worked with Scott.
Hilary went on the air to expose Jordan of his mysterious fake I.D’s wanting the public to know he seems to be a shady guy. Jordan should do the same of Hilary and expose her shady past just to spicen things up. He could easily tell the public how Hilary slept with her husband’s brother when he was blind. Suddenly Jordan’s fake I.D’s won’t look so bad after all. BTY: I loved Hilary’s sweater dress she was wearing. She looked very pretty in it. Also, I like this story line of Jordan having a shady past. It makes his character… Read more »
Husband’s brother? Did I forget she slept with Malcolm?
I’m sorry but Abby told Victoria exactly what I’ve been thinking the last several weeks – Victoria sucks at business! Victoria almost bankrupted her company and now she’s walking around with this self-important attitude like she actually deserves the COO position?! Ugh!
did we see another spark between Neil and Ashley?! Neil in his new clothes and Ashely in that blue dress – I liked it!
I now wonder if Esther, Jill, Billy, Colin, or Cane will stumble on any information regarding Juliet’s original GC plans regarding Cane, the night at the hotel, or “Sam’s paternity” Someone at the Chancellor mansion will be going through her “baggage” and digital devices. I think it would be good to touch on what happens to a person’s digital belongings when they leave this world. There could be a few bits of information stored in Juliet’s cloud. Since the father is not interested at all, there may be someone else coming out of the woodwork. The way they are working… Read more »
I am thinking there will be a Jordan/Juliet connection as well! I want it to be HUGE and far reaching. Jordan having a vendetta or long standing obsession with Lilly would make perfect sense. His past with Chelsea the grifter makes perfect sense as a tie-in that he was and is a grifter, and used Juliet to help. Maybe he saw that Lilly was going to work as a model again, and came up with a scam to pull a huge con by using his past friendship with Lilly. Maybe he is even associated with the cameraman who blackmailed Cane.… Read more »
Does Mr. Young know that Sharon was a cleptomaniac in the past? Now Deena. Not interesting. I like Deena. Haven’t seen the last of Gram. I think he is John Abbot’s son. Or he was befor The Young disaster. Don’t do this?
You are not alone, I like Jordan, I just didn’t want Lilly to be with him. The actor is a great actor to me, and easy on the eyes always helps. I like the dark side, and it still doesn’t have to be too dark that he has to leave.
I never voiced my opinion on Jordan, but I may be in the minority who actually like him and it seems that we’re starting to see a dark side to him, which is making him even more interesting. The person who I still can’t stand is Hilary. She’s just mad because Jordan rejected her and when Lily friend zoned him he went back to her. I just don’t like Hilary. I honestly never trust anything that comes out of her mouth. Even when she would talj to Mattie about her situation with Reed I always felt she was being manipulative.… Read more »
I was thrilled to hear Cane say he doesn’t even remember sleeping with Juliet while at Lilly’s door drunk. Over the last few months it has been vague as to whether or not he remembered it as time went on, even showing what appeared to be flash backs in his mind. I think this is a clue that we are going to get what most of us wanted with him never having slept with her, and I suspect Billy is the one who discovers it while living with them.
Ali,
You briefly mentioned emails from non-YR Chatters, expressing their distain for Mariah’s story line. Ever think they are plants? Like what the Russians did on Facebook before the election? Sounds conspiratorial! Maybe I could be a soap writer?!
Producer/Writer changes: After hearing you mention the constant writing/producing changes on Y&R, I believe you are correct about Y&R even going through more changes than the other soaps. I will go back to 2012, when MAB was replaced with JFP and compare it to other shows first: 1. B&B has had the same head writer/producer even prior to 2012. 2. GH had just hired the former producer/writing team from cancelled OLTL and this lasted until 2015 when the writer was replaced by a former Y&R writing team and that team lasted until 2017 when one of the writers retired but… Read more »
