crosby777 May 21, 2017 Share May 21, 2017 Quote Philly is doing wonders in the ratings. Good job, Mal! no way you can blame one couple on the shit ratings.. how bout the shit writing.. devon and mariah are a total flop.. the bs story is a flop.. scott is a flop.. abby is a flop. the whole fucking show is a flop.. to blame one couple is unrealistic. 2 Link to comment
ezzylin May 21, 2017 Share May 21, 2017 Given the amount of tweets and retweets by Mal Young and Gina Tognoni pimping the Philly pairing, one would think that the majority of viewers shipped them. In reality, that is not the case, otherwise the ratings would gone up since Philly is now officially a couple. As most of us suspected, the Philly fan base consists of a small, but persistent group on social media that MY deluded himself (and us) into believing is much larger than they actually are. 17 Link to comment

Well, maybe it's just my perception of talented and accomplished female actors - especially ones who are as obviously pretty and have beautiful bodies as Gina Tognoni's - that they want to play the sexy lead and they want to be paired with the sexy leading man (or woman depending on the show/movie). When Y&R was trying to woo MS back to the role of Phyllis in 2000-ish, she flat out told LLM that she wanted to be a leading lady (THE leading lady, frankly) and not the show's central villainess (and I'm not comparing MS to GT at all). And to elevate Phyllis's status and create a new couple for new fans to ship so they killed off Cassie and split up Nick and Sharon, pushing Sharon into victim status (for years). I don't believe SC loved being marginalized very much, and she still is to a large extent, but she's actually faring much better under SSM than she did in the LLM/MAB/JFP-CP regimes (though I've got to say that she clearly loved getting to play Sharon during MAB's era when she was involved with Adam because it made them a central focus, though her ride or die fans hated that era and she was definitely punished for speaking out about EB's crap at the time). I'm sure GT's loving the attention she's getting. She'd been away from soaps for about five years or so when she was cast and when they brought her in it was pretty damn clear that JFP wanted her to be Jack's wife. Period. They had her plain and almost matronly-looking for a long stretch, so I'm sure she's thrilled to be able to flaunt her stuff. So I can't find much fault with her for basking in the glow of the fan base that loves their Phyllis sexy and the object of men's lust. (And does anybody else on this board remember back to about 2009 or so when NB and JG were wishing that they'd get rid of AH and recast the role of Victoria with GT, because I do?)

I didn't know that fans were even doing things like sending gifts, writing fan mail, voting in polls, etc up until about less than 2 years ago. I thought those top couples were chosen by the magazines instead of votes mailed in. I saw a video on CBS' YT channel of a ridiculouslu huge cup cake tower that was commissioned by fans for Villy's anniversary and was shocked. It was a time lapsed thing of it being built in the foyer of CBS TV city. I had heard that Lane fans had rented a plane once to save DG's job. I thought that kind of thing was unique at the time. Turns out it was not. That kind of rabid fan reaction is what the show uses to determine popularity, along with focus groups and ratings. I am beginning to realize that these fan bases do it as a campaign technique. Color me shocked. 4 Link to comment

No kidding. I can't remember a time when I've about completely ditched network and subscription television almost in their entirety before as I have now. Now, I'm primarily referring to primetime and weekend programming and I'll confess to playing back a recorded show and bailing out to go check out TRM or The Last Word or CNN, etc, just to see what fresh hell has broken while I was catching up with Hometown, The Amazing Race, Fixer Upper, Anthony Bourdain, or La La Land. I'm like an addict now. I start twitching and my FF finger and the remote keep getting itchy to switch. It's ridiculous. But I can't help it. As for the ratings, I think I read this morning that the ratings for this show are tied with the lowest same-sweeps period in years and years. That surely doesn't bode well for its longevity on the network. I think they really need to get some type of plot-driven (I know, I know) storyline going now and quit trying to focus on showcasing an insipid triangle that frankly doesn't have any reason for all the intended "intrigue". Phyllis has been divorced from and rejected by Jack for months now and Billy's been cat-pawed and yanked around by Victoria for longer than that now. There is no reason for Phyllis to be hiding out in hotel rooms or skulking around like Mata Hari. Everyone knows they're a couple of cheating cheaters who cheated and got caught. Why would anyone seriously think they wouldn't keep going back to the roundhouse after both failed in their attempts to try to reconcile with their respective exes? Some of the things that are going on are interesting as ongoing small time tension-building backdrops, but they keep making wrong choices with the characters. Chelseacon is as dumb as a box of hair. Both Adam and SHE knew in their gut that Victor was behind the Constance Bingham murder allegations and they had a video that proved he had a female accomplice. Why would she NOT think that Victor used Chloe as the coconspirator and that Brittany or whateverhername was a dupe? It makes absolutely no sense except to keep this storyline playing out longer. But they could have done that in a much smarter way that doesn't turn what should be a much savvier and skeptical character as Chelsea the reformed grifter-con into a complete idiot (not that I've ever had all that much use for the character to begin with).

Whether they'd entertain even the idea of bringing MM back I don't know.

I know who has NOT engaged in that sort of behavior in the past three and half years and anything he ever said about EB via social media or otherwise pales by comparison to some of the shit EB has been spewing at every opportunity.

I also read that SSM said she did not keep up with the show after she was fired, which was 10 years ago. I think when she came back, her plan was to get Y&R back to what it was during the Bill Bell years. WRT Adam - as popular as he was, even the most die-hard fan would admit that his character did some hideous things, often without rhyme or reason. When JH took over as Adam, the character was toned down quite a bit, but still. I think SSM had no idea what to do with the character- at least with characters like Victor, Nikki, Victoria, Jack, Sharon, etc, she knew who they were and how to write for them before they were "ruined" by terrible writing. She probably thought it was easier to have Adam stay "dead" and just focus on the characters that she already knew. 5 Link to comment
Toomuchsoap May 31, 2017 Share May 31, 2017 (edited) Quote She probably thought it was easier to have Adam stay "dead" and just focus on the characters that she already knew. I believe there were a couple of factors involved in those decisions. First, the show's fans have been consistently demanding airtime and better storylines for the vets, a lot of whom expressed themselves in that Nielsen survey CBS conducted last year, on boards and via social media. Second, this show in particular in the last five or six years and the genre itself overall, has had multiple returns from the dead twists and other tired tropes, many of which repeated themselves within months after featuring a storyline involving the same damn aspects with sometimes even the same damn actors. I think she felt she'd like to break away from that. She's done that for the most part, but she doesn't have any grand storyline with a lot of drama, action, suspense, etc., which has made the show too slow and uneventful. I think the refocus back to the business-related storylines is a good thing, and there have been some interesting stuff there. I'm not bored or uninterested in the Juliet-Cane development or the Jabot backdrop for the domestic drama involving the Abbott family, but in general, there's been too much meandering and the Hilary Hour is hootable - and not in a good way. That crap was a big misstep IMO. SSM should have used an established part of Devon's history, notably his passion for music production. The guy is as rich as Croesus and that kind of money can buy a producer an Empire. That should have been the first thing (or one of them anyway) she wrote. Devon could have established himself a company in which Hilary had a powerful presence. She could have been the PR and promotions exec and when they divorced, she should have gone barracuda and sued for a share of the company and demanded she keep her position. This business of a mega-sensation talk web show from the Genoa City, WI boondocks is just snortable. In any event, something's gotta give. I somewhat get the feeling that MY and SSM are not of the same mind about the show's direction, because it really appeared at the outset that AMcD and others at CBS daytime wanted to scuttle the Philly shenanigans. It seems pretty clear that MY wasn't happy about that but he gritted his teeth about it until the ratings started to falter. I have little doubt that the Twitter fans of that pairing have been seized upon as justification restart that coupling in order to juice up the ratings. And I think there was a recognition that Victor couldn't be rehabilitated in the eyes of his family - or the angry viewers who have not forgotten Victor's role in Adam's murder by Victor's collaborator - until he was not only exposed for his crime but punished for it. SSM had the sweet and sappy Good Grampa Victor and the viewers weren't gonna buy it. Not until something was done about his role in Adam's demise (or disappearance or whatever). And one thing to get Victor back in a better place (despite his new responsibility for Chloe's apparent suicide) would be to have Adam return now that he is apparently safe from Chloe's crazed vendetta quest. And, I think they're not fully committed to Chelsea + Nick. Edited May 31, 2017 by Toomuchsoap 8 Link to comment

What fans? The ones who hate on her and her character? Why should she care about them?

You don't think she received tweets about Phack in the past? Do you honestly believe they'd tweet her about Phack NOW? The only Phack fans I see are ones who like Jack.. none that are Phyllis fans..I have been a Phyllis fan since her inception and I know most of the Phyllis fans on the MB's and not many Phyllis fans liked Phack at all..
