But, yes, characters are fictional. Still, and I don’t know what to define the behavior as, but acknowledging tweets like “2017 was spent propping Victoria” or others that basically stated that JT only works well with GT? I don’t consider that a team player. Which was my main point.

EB getting big story again

Next to retiring Sharinsane, rolling back TGVN's influence on the show was the best thing Mal ever did. I don't expect Show will even cut him out short of retirement but even with Philly eating up the screen time, I don't miss Victor being shoved into every other story or manipulating Victoria's life.

I just hate the character of PhyllAss and am beyond pissed that MS is coming back. 🤬

Me too.

I can't stand either actor as Phyllis but I can't stand MS in any shape, form or tv show.   I wasn't wild about GT on OLTL, only other place I'd seen her but she made her Phyllis every bit as repulsive as MS had done.  One thing I'm sure of, though, Stafford won't be any better this time around.

Any real reason Show couldn't have just sent the character off on a world tour of all of Earth's active volcanos??  Or had her get a sudden need to swim with the piranhas in the Amazon?  Maybe, to atone for her sins, spend her remaining days cleaning up all the crap people have left on Mt. Everest?  ANYTHING BUT RETURN TO SHOW??

[NinjaPenguins]

Come on, boes. Piranhas wouldn’t eat Phyllis out of professional courtesy.

At the Daytime Emmys YR has won so far:

Outstanding Drama Series Writing Team
Outstanding Drama Series Directing Team

Are those basically for Mal's regime?

No acting awards to YR yet. Zach Tinker (Fen) lost the younger actor award to someone from DAYS.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Wow, YR got shut out of all the acting awards but they got Outstanding Drama Series. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

I don’t consider Michelle Stafford a team player. Or Josh Morrow. They’ve made it pretty clear they prefer to work with each other. More so than I ever saw from Gina. I’ve received a Birthday message from Gina the past few years. It just doesn’t seem like the kind of thing JM or MS would do. 

I think Gina’s a good actress. I think MS is the Drake Hogestyn of Y&R.

BTS, the win is legit.  But what we saw onscreen was more of a full season of bloopers from Cialis commercials. 

I do know, though, the PERFECT place for Mal to stick his Emmy.....

Chelseacon's entire backstory and was ludicrous. It seriously made about as much sense as Cane's ridiculous Australian cattle rustling father's crime family and his twin son cons. Is there anyone in America who seriously thinks there's a lot of surfing going on in Myanmar? (This is where Billy was disappeared courtesy of his FIL and his co-conspirator, Chelsea).

I despised Chelsea. I particularly loathed the fact that she was brought in because EB pitched a fit and decided that by god, he was going to have a go at Sharon like he wanted to do during Bill Bell's day, who told him to go sit down. Chelsea was a contrived character as a grifter-con turned Chelserella, who became a 500 pound ball and chain for Adam to drag around. Adam would never have given that lightweight the time of day. "Love of my life" my ass. I hated everything about her. I hated her breathless Valley Girl voice and her tacky schmattas. Bring her back and put her with Dickolas. They're soulmates.

If she had stayed a con artist and she and Adam used it to take over Newman. I did like her holding a scalpel to Prick's neck - but the whole Cinderella/Tribble thing got old fast.Beth

This is the best thing ever.  I love the relationship between the two.  But Beth is just such a star.  She should be doing public speaking, she is just a natural.  Thank you @miamama for posting this, it made me happy.

Beth can't be a star. She's fat and not allowed to have a romance - even her invisible husband left her. She doesn't wear painted on dresses, or 50 hair extentions. No sex for you,

does dummer still have a lisp and sound like she has a nose full of snot?

Both. Doctors now a days don't do tonsils often. My niece was fading away. The young doctor said she had anorexia, strep throat, anxiety disorder... she got so ill they took her to the ER and the old doc there looked in her throat and said "My God, the child's throat is swollen and infected she can't eat." Bye tonsils and hello perfect health.

We've truly gone down the rabbit hole if 2013 is what they'd consider the good ol' days. 

That said, i hope Sharon's bipolar-for-plot-device stays in 2013. That was the only saving grace of the last two years. 

Crazy Sharon is the only Sharon I like to watch.. so I am hoping for the opposite. 

On 4/30/2019 at 3:20 PM, Toomuchsoap said:

So, it's official then. I just saw MCE's tweet about her return. Oh, bother.

I could have done without her. I loathed the character and I could barely withstand the actor. I'm begging them to put her with whatever else male there is (just not Jack). Hey! Maybe she and Kev can team up and go on a crime spree together. Might as well. She's got absolutely zero chemistry with any guy I've ever seen her with. I loathed her with both Adams and she couldn't help Nick much - but no one has to my satisfaction (and that includes Sharon except when she was 17).  

Oh really? I love Chelsea and am so glad she is coming back.

Saw a promo this morning touting Adam's return. The tag line 'Now, the moment you've been waiting for' followed by Victor pronouncing 'Adam...is alive!'

Sorry show but I don't think anyone has been waiting  anxiously for Adam to return.

[JasonCC]

Do you think there will be a new overhaul of the opening credits? I am assuming the new Adam gets immediate weekly exposure in the credits as well as Michelle Stafford and Melissa Claire Egan. May as well overhaul them then and add Kyle in, IMO.

Right? The way they're staging it, it looks to me like Adam's return is mainly to give Victor a storyline and deSORAS him by about ten years. We'll see how long this one lasts before he has to go boom too.

[Sake614]

Yeah it's no secret EB was mighty pissed at being sidelined under Mal's regime. Lord knows he was vocal enough about it on Twitter so I guess Tony figured the only way to shut him up was to give him what he wants. More's the pity cause I certainly didn't miss him.

i wrote to cbs feedback that if they were going to bring anyone back it should be victoria rowell and i would gladly exchange ms for her.

so Y&R won for best show AND best writing! It was shut out of all acting categories (of course Mo Benard won best actor), which was a shame.

I seem to recall that JFP and Pratt won that award (not best show) right after she was sacked too. I'm not sure what this means, actually. Isn't the Best Show award category essentially just passed around on a rotation basis anyway?

Hmm. There's something about the intensity of his eyes that make him seem older than I know he is. Jeebus he appears thin. Those hollow cheeks. Eat something!

[Kemper]

What is the age difference between the new Adam and Sharon?  In the picture she looks like a young-ish Mom to him.  I am sure that on our screens it looks different than in print.  

Any word on Cane's (the actor) status?  Staying or going?  I could almost not hate Michelle S coming back if Cane went.  Almost. And then add the Chelsea actress for my remote grab.  Why not bring on a new Chelsea, also?  An actress that Adam (as an actor) has not had scenes and a pattern with before.

wow sharon has an awesome figure...

and she can carry off that dress.

don't care what anyone says.

[Kitty Redstone]

Mark Grossman is a chameleon.  In some photos, he's ridiculously handsome.  Then in others, he's not so great looking.  It's like that episode of Seinfeld, where Jerry's girlfriend of the moment looked beautiful in a lighted room but ghoulish in shadow.  Anyway, I'm curious what he'll look like in live action.

Sharon Case does indeed have an amazing body.

I honestly have no trouble buying those two on screen or at least, even an Adam that looks like MG, being attracted to Sharon.  But then, I'm someone that actually enjoyed when Sharon was with Scotty (he was also younger).  

I'm not too up on spoilers but the fact that they hang out so much suggest they've been working together a lot.  I'm looking forward to seeing what develops.

Also agree, SC must work out like a machine.  Her figure is awesome.

According to SOD online, YR has cast this guy in a new role as the social media influencer bigwig that Summer and Kyle will be dealing with:

His name is Tyler Johnson and elsewhere I've read that he's 38 (allegedly). Given how much--IMO--he looks like the actors who play Victoria and Nick, I'm wondering why he wasn't cast as Adam. Anyway, now there's the debate of who his character will be hooking up with, Summer or Abby. Lola might be available too if she decides to stop being Kyle's sidepiece. FGS, keep him away from Phyllis.

He's going to play Kyle's New York pal (roommate?) and former classmate. I think they worked together before and Kyle mentioned his name (I forget his name), but Summer and Kyle fly up to New York to meet with him (it was mentioned on Monday's episode U.S.).

I think they look swell. Ridiculously good. If that's what Pilates does for a body, I'm in! (SC is a devotee). I think he has the facial structure resembling EB in his early days on Y&R.

I'll volunteer. Now, point me in the right direction.

My god. The way the two of them interact with each other, if I saw that photo of SC looking up at MG as adoringly as that middle pic anywhere but a thread about the Emmy ceremony, I'd swear they were together in real life. I just need to see how he melds onscreen and what his voice sounds like. If he sounds like his voice hasn't broken yet, we're in trouble.

Okay, I'll stay out of the NewNewman commentary, 'cause my little herd of UOs might just scamper in from the yard and start jumping up on all of you.

One of the wee darling UOs did just remind me that I really kinda enjoy Greg Rikaart--I'm good with being alone in this--I have the little UOs to keep me company. Please, though, get my Gloria back!

Now, I've kind of been wondering why no one's bitching about the presence of MY at the Emmys. I understand the why; I just can't stand the man.

Speaking of things like Twitter, he really has horrible manners. To wit: someone posted something like "There is so many actors on YR who should have won..." Does MY just leave that one lie? No! His retort: "There are...is what you mean. In a plural context blahblanblah." What a crude character.

They look physically comfortable with each other. You can't fake that. Even when you're an actor. They look like they've known each other for a while.
