boes March 2, 2020 Share March 2, 2020 51 minutes ago, Kemper said: The problem is that I don't think Phyllis has chemistry with any of the men on the show; it's her horrible acting choices. When you are constantly trying to force your sexiness onto someone, it gets old and tiring. The vamping, slinking, whispering, smugness, clothing, slithering, etc... all past their sell-by date. I understand she probably has no choice on wardrobe...but all the rest is on her. Plus her role is badly written. If she would just tone things down it would go a long way to making her character palatable. I am surprised that Victoria didn't wake up with amnesia and think she and Billy were still happily married. With regard to barring visitors to Victoria's hospital room....how does Victor have the right to do that? Are she and Billy officially separated? If not, I would think decisions like that would be up to Billy. Lord help everyone. Vic and Billy, while a couple until the recent split, are divorced. They decided not to remarry when they got back together this last time. So, with Billy out of the picture legally, would that make Victor and Nikki, by default, Victoria's medical proxies? All of Victoria's choices are pretty poor in that regard. 2 9 Link to comment

She may not love Sharon, but she's no Stephanie "Anyone is Better Than Brooke Logan" Forrester who will support any relationship to keep him from Sharon. Plus, didn't Phyllis sell all three of them out in those JT murder hijinx? I'm hoping she hasn't forgotten that shit. 7 Link to comment

Joimiaroxeu March 7, 2020 Share March 7, 2020 (edited) Who knew Theo was such a trendsetter?: I Made the Oily Cakes From First Cow Which is in reference to the new period piece film, First Cow. The plot is basically how some guys steal a cow to start an oily cakes business in frontier Oregon. I'm guessing someone associated with Y&R is also familiar with either the movie or the book the movie's based on. Otherwise, having oily cakes ("cakes" seem a lot less suggestive than "balls" in this context, no?) be a part of Theo's bonding with Jack and Traci seems out there to me. Quote isn't that one of Phyllis' dresses, too? Nope, it isn't (I checked Worn on TV). Besides, Phyllis wouldn't be caught dead in those puffy sleeves. Too "girly" for the wannabe vamp.

wonderwoman March 8, 2020 Share March 8, 2020 (edited) posted the following on the cbs sunday morning page. thought it belonged here, as well. “let me start my saying that cbs sunday morning is my favorite part of sunday. however... it pisses me off no end that the show rarely, if ever, acknowledges the network’s soaps, which, over the years, have generated billions — with a b — in revenue for cbs. in 2009 and 2010, they barely mentioned the cancellations of “guiding light” and “as the world turns.” and this week, they failed the mention the death of lee phillip bell, who with her late husband, bill, created both of cbs’s remaining soaps: ‘the young and the restless’ and ‘the bold and the beautiful.’ really? they do a passages segment every week. how much effort would it have taken? i just don’t get it.” Edited March 10, 2020 by wonderwoman 16 Link to comment

For the record, I'm not down with this "taking a long time", as Thompson indicates.......there's not one character on the show I care less about than his! 15 Link to comment
Joimiaroxeu March 19, 2020 Share March 19, 2020 (edited) The Jezebel website has a new article up about the history of daytime dramas called, The Complex, Contradictory History of the American Soap Opera. It's based on the book, Her Stories, by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee professor Elana Levine. (Genoa City neighbors, represent!) IMO the article is a bit pedantic and analytical, not particularly easy to read compared to what I usually see on Jezebel. However, it's thorough, especially about the early and heyday years of soaps. I think people who've been watching soaps--especially the shows now long-cancelled--will likely enjoy the remembrances scattered throughout the article. Anyhoo, my bigger issue about this article is that it's headed by this photo: As you can see, that's our guy Peter Bergman and a couple of other actresses. PB has a hairstyle that doesn't look Jack Abbott's but the camera shown in the photo has a CBS logo. So, maybe it's a Y&R shot (versus an AMC one) but I can't figure out the time frame or who those actresses/characters are. The redhead might be Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman) but for the life of me I can't identify the brunette. What say ye, Preverts? What can you identify about this historical soap opera photo?

Joimiaroxeu March 20, 2020 Share March 20, 2020 (edited) 47th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards Ceremony Postponed Quote 47th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards Postponed in Response to COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic NEW YORK — The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today released the following statement from NATAS Chairman, Terry O’Reilly: “Given our concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that we will not be staging the 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in Pasadena this coming June. As there are so many unknowns right now with the flow of information changing on a daily, almost hourly, basis, it would simply be irresponsible to move forward with our annual celebration of excellence in daytime television at this time.” This is unfortunate news for the actors, writers, directors, and other production staff who rely on getting this recognition for their hard work. However, now that we're down to four soaps, the Daytime Emmy awards are a bit of a joke, IMO. The shows basically just rotate the awards among each other now.

Sake614 March 22, 2020 Share March 22, 2020 True enough re soaps but the daytime emmys cover all of daytime. Morning news shows, talk shows, game shows etc. as soap fans, we tend to think of the Emmys as just for us, but they’re really not 😀. Still it’s the right thing to do, and I’m sure all those nominated will be just as happy (maybe more so) to get out and party after this is over. 1 5 Link to comment
Joimiaroxeu March 22, 2020 Share March 22, 2020 Oh, for sure postponing the awards ceremony is the right thing to do. I was surprised how this news was all over the soap media like it was a big deal. I just don't see why any soap viewers would care at this point. 6 Link to comment
