Kudos to Y&R for heavily featuring a storyline that revolves around a woman of Jeanne Cooper's age, and for developing a love story for her character to boot.

I just have to say that I am really loving MurKat - Murphy & Katherine - on Y&R right now! They are just adorable and are definitely my favorite
Y&R coupling. I hope they have signed the actor playing Murphy to a contract because I'd hate to think this is only temporary.

I love Murkat! But as great as it is thatJ jeannie c. has a big story at her age an age where usually actors get backburnered if not just written out. the
whole katherine/marge story IMO has gone on too long. it doesn't make sense to me tha t Jill doesn't believe it's katherine but Amber, kevin etc
believed it was katherine. JMHO I realize it's probalyl a set up that Jill isn't katherine's daughter but I'm losing interest except for
Murkat.

How about that cake fight in slo-mo as Billy/Chloe joined together in holy matrimony? I thought it was great. It made me laugh. And Jess Walton is turning
in Emmy worthy material. Great Friday cliffhanger, too.

I'm loving MurKat as well. And I love that Y&R still has Katherine front and center. Amber should be thankful as well, since Katherine makes her
tolerable.
What do you guys think of the Nick/Sharon reunion? I think it's rushed and I have a few other complaints, but overall, I'm really loving them. The best being, Phyllis having to walk in Sharon's shoes. FABS!!! And as sick and twisted as the Adam stuff has become, I'm still enjoying that storyline. *sheepish grin* Carm

I'm enjoying the sick/twisted Adam/Ashley stuff, too, even though Adam is going to hell for sure.
And what is up with Mary Jane? Is she really Diane? And why is she talking to and stroking the stuffed kitty? I can really feel Hogan Sheffer's influence on Y&R... and in a good way. Leslie Banner by Laura

LOL! I was LMAO at Adam in his Norman (in Psycho) wig.
I'm really intrigued by this Cane/Phillip storyline. So sorry I haven't been paying attention from the beginning. But Cane/Lily was more than I
could take. It's been FABULOUS having real Phillip back. Can't wait to see how this all plays out.
I am loving Mary Jane's craziness. And did you jump when that dead bird came through the glass? YIKES!!! The actress is working the material. I don't know if MJ is Diane or not, but it's definitely looking that way, and not knowing is one of the things keeping her interesting. I can't think of any other reason she's so obsessed with Jack. I'm not a big Hogan fan. He's okay. But he ruined Carly and Carjack for me. I can't seem to get past it.

Okay, here's a recap of today's Y&R - Thursday 6/11 This is courtesy of Soap Central:
Heather and Paul discussed Paul's trip to the station. Paul talked about Mary Jane to his daughter and says she seems familiar and can't place it. Mary Jane has a restraining order served to Paul. She is later looking at a picture of Paul and thinking about putting it in her scrapbook but stops. She doesn't want to be enemies with him.

Sharon & Nick don't really do it for me, but I appreciate that all of the longtime viewers are getting their wish in their reconciliation.
Here's something I'm having trouble comprehending and I wish someone would help me out... Supposedly Cane (Ethan) and Phillip were switched at birth. That's how the story went, anyway. Right? Well, when Cane & Lily started to date, she was 19 and he said he was 31, right? Now Nina comes back and there's talk that her son with Phillip (also named Phillip) is in the military and serving in Iraq, right? If Cane and Phillip are supposed to be just born days apart (making the baby switch possible), then how could a man in his 30s have a kid who's old enough to serve in Iraq? Please help here, Leslie David & Emily - "Love Today" |

Re: mary jane several years ago Jack was involved with a woman named mari jo mason who became obessed with him. She was mentally unstable and tried to kill
Victor and kidnapped Christine Blair. I'm almost positive mary jane is Mari jo.

That aside, what do you think of the storyline? And are you excited that real Phillip is back. I am ecstatic!! Carm

What do you guys think of the Nick/Sharon reunion? I think it's rushed and I have a few other complaints, but overall, I'm really loving them. The best being, Phyllis having to walk in Sharon's shoes. FABS!!!Well, I don't think it's rushed where Nick is concerned. He never totally let go of Sharon to begin with, but beyond that, this story kicked into high gear again in November when Shick were in Paris. His waffling needed to stop. It wasn't doing any of the characters any favors. I hope he is DONE with that. It looks and sounds that way--he had the obligatory flashbacks, he's said Sharon is the love of his life, he was prepared to leave Phyllis with or without Sharon, etc. So, Nick making up his mind wasn't rushed imo; if anything, it was dragged out. I do think Sharon didn't make Nick work hard enough though. She let him off the hook a little too quickly for my tastes. I wanted some serious groveling from him after what he put her through. I don't like that it appears that the writers essentially glossed over Sharon's mental breakdown (and had her sleeping around so much in the process)- or maybe they're going to bring that back at some point. I could see things getting really messy. I don't think it's coincidental that Ashley thinks she's still pregnant, and that she was due at the same time Sharon is. All that being said: I'm happy Shick are together again and hope Phyllis/Nick are done, no going back. Phyllis and Nick were just all kinds of wrong together. My dream scenario is that MAB will keep deconstructing them and make Summer Jack's. Oh-- and I LOVE that karma's coming back to hit Phyllis. She's earned it. Yet...she's still had an easier time than Sharon did, since she had to deal with Cassie's death on top of Nick's affair. Speaking of MAB righting the wrongs-- I love that she undid Jill and Katherine's mother/daughter status and looks like she's undoing Cane is the "real Phillip" as well.

Awwww, Erin, you are so right!!! And I am happy that Nick has stopped the vacillating. It's taken something out of the reunion, at least for me. Good points re the story not being rushed. I have to admit, I love that Nick said Sharon was the love of his life. However, there was just so much damage done. I wanted more repair before they actually got back together.
I agree about Sharon letting Nick off the hook too quickly. However, she didn't have a whole lot of room to hold anything over him. They have truly turned her skanky. It annoys the heck out of me that Sharon is now the town skank while Phyllis is supposedly the one that's grown, and can now look down her nose at Sharon. UGH!! I can't stand it! Which is why I'm so disappointed how Sharon's mental issues were resolved or pushed aside. Unless, as you've mentioned, it resurfaces and we actually see Nick grow from his past mistakes; thereby, having him actually stand by Sharon and help her through it. That would be a great way to make up for what he did to her after Cassie's death.
"I don't like that it appears that the writers essentially glossed over Sharon's mental breakdown (and had her sleeping around so much in the process)"
"All that being said: I'm happy Shick are together again and hope Phyllis/Nick are done, no going back. Phyllis and Nick were just all kinds of wrong together."
I completely agree. At one time, I liked Phyllis and Nick. BUT they ONLY worked for me as an affair. When the writers took it beyond that, I couldn't stand them anymore. Thank goodness MAB is cleaning up LML's mess. And I would be beyond thrilled if she continued to deconstruct and it's proven that Summer is Jack's.
"Oh-- and I LOVE that karma's coming back to hit Phyllis. She's earned it. Yet...she's still had an easier time than Sharon did, since she had to deal with Cassie's death on top of Nick's affair."
OMG, I was practically jumping on the couch during those scenes when Phyllis was
whining and sniveling about Sharon ruining her (Phyllis) marriage. It was so satisfying. Karma's a b*tch, huh, Phyllis? LMAO!!! Love LOVED watching her walk in Sharon's shoes right down to getting
pregnant. It was poetic!! Hee. And you know, I don't know if it was the
director or JM's acting choices, but on more than one occasion Josh played those scenes with Nick so aloof and insensitive to Phyllis' feelings.
Nevertheless, I didn't feel one ounce of sympathy for Phyllis. NONE.
"Speaking of MAB righting the wrongs-- I love that she undid Jill and Katherine's mother/daughter status and looks like she's undoing Cane is the "real Phillip" as well."
Soooooooo happy she cleaned up that mother/daughter crap with
Jill/Katherine. AND she is definitely undoing that Cane is Phillip nonsense, AND she's doing it with the real
Phillip. *giggle* Carm

Hey Carm I think youre right about MJ being Patty fter jacks' convo with Phyl about Patty shooting him and MJ's scenes today about Paul I'd say
you're right. Then too since mary jo tried to kill Victor he probably wouldnt' have gotten her out of prison whatever and that makes more sense too
Paul recognizing MJ somehow.

Leslie, it was a long time ago so I don't remember all the details of the character other than she is Paul's sister. It was during the time that the
Williams family was central to the show. And just a little trivia, I also remember that President Gerald Ford's son was on the show. He played Paul's
brother - Steven, if I remember correctly.
Anyhoo....Here's what I found at Soap Central: Crimes Committed Shot Jack Abbott three times - he refused to press charges Brief Character History In the early 1980s, Patty fell in love with Jabot heir and playboy, Jack Abbott, much to her parents' disapproval. A jealous Jill
Foster then confessed to Patty that she and Jack had been secret lovers. A furious Jack fired Jill from Jabot. Patty then started dating Danny Romalotti in an
attempt to forget Jack. Patty eventually broke up with Danny and much to her parents horror, began dating Jack.

I'm happy for Doug Davidson, especially if this brings Paul more story.*fingers crossed* Maybe even bring back nosey controlling Mary. This is also an interesting twist, because, if I remember correctly, wasn't Patty kind of mousy back then, or am I remembering her incorrectly? Carm

I love that Nick said Sharon was the love of his life. However, there was just so much
damage done.
ICAM! I just wish TPTB hadn't destroyed Sharon so much in the process. The writing for her mental breakdown was difficult to follow b/c it wasn't explained well enough, IMO. I was hoping they were going back into her past and maybe the abandonment issues with her father would come out.....and the puzzle would start to come together, but it looks as if TPTB have dropped this SL w/Sharon. As for Nick, yeah the back and forth made him look like a pig, BUT......I do think he loved both woman, but realized he and Sharon ARE soulmates and he wanted to be with her more. I LOVED his convo w/Victor where he backpetaled on Phick....saying it was wrong and he couldn't go on living a lie! LOL I.LOVED.IT! I've waited almost 3 YEARS for this reconcilation and I am enjoying every second of it! IA that it hasn't been rushed. It really did start back in Nov when they were in Paris. They both fought it. Sharon has NEVER stopped loving Nikolas...and obviously Nikolas hasn't stopped loving Sharon. On to GH.....I was happy that Scrubs got some sort of lovescene....but seriously with that hottie JT as Dr Drake.....will they fans EVER get more from Guza???? It was a letdown. AND....can we stop taking about Robin being a good girl and taking her meds?????? Goodness, Sonny's on meds for being bipolar YET he's drinking and doesn't talk about it 24/7! I feel bad for Scrubs, it looks like they are back to propping everyone else up. Becki~ |
