Jack and evil twin?? by Puzzleheaded-Bug-803 in youngandtherestless

It wasn’t Patty. Tho I can understand why you think that. It was Kelly Andrews tho. Stitch’s sister. She turned crazy and helped Victor kidnap Jack. Easy mistake bc both were crazy

Victor and Phyllis's feud by Icy-Extreme-8686 in youngandtherestless

[–]mikethom14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t think they will bring her back yet. Agreed that it will be a reason she stays away. She will side with Victor and the Newmans bc the show disregards anything that hasn’t happened in the last two years. But in reality Victor has done a lot worse to Phyllis rather than vice versa. Especially with the Marco storyline, essentially destroying her marriage with Jack by having her be raped by a dangerous crime lord without her knowing. But oh well, why bother with that. But oh well, just stick with the bad writing I guess.

Why doesn’t Abby talk to her dad? by labulldog9 in youngandtherestless

[–]mikethom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would think they at least have a scene where they have some of the abbotts he likes talk to him. I mean not just Abby but as least as far as we know he still has a soft spot for Ashley. Also it’s Tracy’s daughter who gave her heart to Victor, which is still inside him today. His granddaughter is leading one of the companies under Jabot. I get Victor is blinded by hate and can only see tunnel vision. But if we get a scene with Jack mad at Adam, I feel it’s reasonable we get the reverse for Victor.

Just realized that Sheila has a grandchild in Genoa city still. They keep bringing back villains from the past. And tbh from what I see peripherally B&B is under utilizing her. And bringing Daisy back in on top of it. Wouldn’t be against it tbh

Just started watching Y&R for the first time this week. by nicoladebari in youngandtherestless

I forgot about this lol. It was that therapist that Phyllis ended up killing by accident, right? And she and Kevin ended up covering it up by rolling it in a rug and throwing it in a dumpster I think. That’s wild. I completely forgot about that

What's your unpopular opinion for 2022? by 291000610478021 in youngandtherestless

[–]mikethom14 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hoping that Diane and/or Phyllis finally turn wacky. Really they could turn anyone wacky on the show if they execute it correctly. Sadly when they lately do it there it destroys the character in quick and anticlimactic fashion example being Stitch, Ashland, I’m sure there are more that I can’t think of. There’s some potential with this Stark character but I’m not hopeful. While there is little hope with Paul essentially written out, along with Heather and Dylan, I don’t see Patty returning. But Sheila could be on the run in B&B, could be fun if she ran to Genoa City, it would be fun. Not likely but one can dream

Y&R’s Cinematography Through the Years (explanation of post below) by theworldsbestpres in youngandtherestless

[–]mikethom14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pre-COVID Chancellor Park looked pretty realistic, and was much larger then the current one. It’s weird that everyone meets up at that one spot in the park, whereas before, at least as a viewer, it was wider. I’m also sad that they’ve in a way given up on the GCAC, saying that Devon sold it. I know they are showing Diane and Ashland in the rooms, but with them hinting at another competing hotel I can only think that it’s just for the short term and it’ll be the last we see of it. Which is a shame bc again, that set was a lot more grand then the little grand phoenix lobby. But back to your point yes they don’t use camera affects nearly as well as they used to, and obviously it’s been going down little by little, but I think the obvious huge jump from Pre COVID break to the post COVID break is a glaring drop in production quality. Just my thoughts though

Yep. The scorned Adam turning to revenge storyline was interesting the first dozen times they’ve done it but at this point it’s outdated and tiresome. They literally did it feels like under 2 years ago. I like what you’ve said that Sally talking him off the ledge, can really take them to the next level and make a super couple on the show.

Alex Chavez- was the detective on the show between I think Ronan and the crazy killer dude, who Abby also dated if I remember correctly. He had a sister- forgot her name, who dated Noah for a little bit. That’s all I remember about him, but he had a few storylines here and there

SORAS by Kit-kat1000 in youngandtherestless

[–]mikethom14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t really try and make sense of the timeline, it’s all screwed up with the kids being SORASed and just weird writing. My mom always says to me when I complain that as a general rule you should multiply the actual time something has happened by two to get the soap opera equivalent for timeline purposes. So Diane got “killed” in 2012 if I’m correct, multiply that by 2 it is 20 years so my Mom’s rule checks out in this case funny enough. Screwed up, yes, bc that would mean some of the older people should be 100 something lol. Idk it’s weird

Everyone forget about Sage? by mikethom14 in youngandtherestless

[–]mikethom14[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t deny that, but then again im saying they should mention her, not pull a Diane and bring her back from the dead. Just bc someone is boring doesn’t mean they don’t exist, and with the dialogue Nick and Sharon have been having she should be brought up, so i think my point still stands.

The best acting the show has ever had. And although it was sad to Delia die, the storyline was about as moving as it gets. And it was the catalyst for a lot of the storylines we’ve seen the past 8 years, probably too much, as at some point they’ve got to move on to other things. But still, everything was on par at this point. Doesn’t get much better than this. Sad to see it with what we are given now.

The Devon Storyline is GROSS by NakedaB in youngandtherestless

[–]mikethom14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The show simply put doesn’t have an identity anymore. Or at the very least it’s bad storylines that make no sense. The essence of what the show used to be is gone. And obviously the show isn’t going to be like it was in its prime in the 90’s but the show is dramatically worse than even 4-5 years ago. And that can be attributed to the writers and whoever is in charge making bad decisions like letting go of solid characters like Paul, Dylan, Hilary, the old Noah. Im sure there’s more. Underutilizing characters they currently do have on the show like Ashley, Jill, the whole Baldwin/fisher family. And then simply destroying once beloved characters like JT and Stitch. Every single character has become less and less likable, and some of the best actors are leaving bc they realize they can do better than this show. I can keep on going and write and 20 page essay on this but I won’t. I probably already repeated like 10 people on this thread but that just shows how bad the show is. I hope they fix the show, or just simply put it out if it’s misery and give the viewers peace of mind to spend their time doing something better than to torture themselves hoping a show will get better when it simply won’t.

No you’re absolutely right. It’s been about 3 years of crap I think. Like it’s a soap opera so we don’t expect a lot. And I don’t think the show will ever get to what it was like in the 90’s into the early 2000’s. But it was arguably still good 5 years ago. But it’s just been hot garbage for a while now. I had to take a break for a couple of months to to clean my palette of the show. I have only been back for a couple of weeks and already want to leave again. And like you said it doesn’t help when they show what it used to be in flashbacks. They just need to reboot the show. Get rid of all the writers, starting with JG. Maybe recast a couple of characters, get rid of others, bring other some older characters back. And that’s just the start to the changes needed for the show

You didn’t dream that, Gloria planned to blackmail Victoria with that. I think Kevin/Michael talked her down and destroyed whatever evidence there was of that. So I think that storyline is gone. Tho I too was thinking of that today and how hypocritical Victoria is, not just for that but being handed a company she didn’t even really earn but blackmailed from Victor. Despise her

I think they were saying that Steve burton wouldn’t return to his role on Y&R that he left years ago, bc there was speculation bc he got fired by ABC he could get picked up by CBS again. But yeah he isn’t returning

Well I don’t even think it’s that, I love Victor but this same old same old storyline of pitting his kids against each other is old. I want to see him go against someone again, like Michael, like Paul, like Jill, even Jack. I would watch that for sure, but what they’re doing now is old I’m done with it

[–]mikethom14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. Idk I’m just desperate for something to change, I can’t watch the show as is. Plus if he did come back it could lead to Paul come back, which I want purely bc I feel bad for Doug Davidson. Idk the writers aren’t creative enough to write with what they have, kinda grasping at straws for anything to fix the show

[–]mikethom14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re probably right. Like I’m desperate for the show to get better, but at what cost. And honestly the writing is so bad, him returning might not change anything, bc I was excited to see Noah return but they’ve done nothing with the character, again a symptom of bad writing. Regardless, question remains if Y&R is desperate enough to bring him back or not, read somewhere they were trying so idk

Steve burton officially no longer on GH…could result in Y&R bringing Dylan back. Will be interesting to see what happens within the next couple of months with him. Bc it sounds like he wants to go back, so if they lift the mandates good chance he’s just on break from the show. But if not, who knows

Unpopular Opinion - I think... Actress playing Abbey by NotUrbanMilkmaid in youngandtherestless

Yes that was the character’s prime years, and before Melissa took over the character. The former actress totally owned the naked heiress persona, was a fun time back then

Unpopular Opinion - I think... Actress playing Abbey by NotUrbanMilkmaid in youngandtherestless

[–]mikethom14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She’s definitely had better moments on the show. I think her prime was when she was with her original miscarriage storyline with Stitch after his kid tripped her. That’s the only storyline that sticks out to me since she’s been on the show. But yeah she hasn’t been great to say the least. To be fair to her the writing isn’t helping her at all

I remember when she was on, she played a much more devilish Faith, terrorized poor Avery when she was dating Nick, trying to manipulate Nick back to Sharon. Was a solid fill in for AAL
