I saw the ABC thread, so I thought I'd start a thread for CBS soaps as well! I've been watching Y&R, B&B, and ATWT since I was 4, and I'm completely addicted and obsessed! So, I'd love to have some people to chat with about the storylines!

Andrea...

I have been watching Y&R for YEARS and I am pretty darn addicted! ;) I admitted my addiction when I bawled when Cassie died! :rolleyes: I am pretty shocked about the J.T. and Brittney baby situation! :eek:

I've been watching Y&R and B&B off and on for years. I was recently home from work on bedrest and totally got back into them and now I am back at work and lost again. :( Anyway, I am so mad that B&B brought back Taylor. I have NEVER liked her and I am beyond sick of the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle. blech. OTOH, how freaking hot is Antonio Sabato Jr.???? So glad to have him back on soaps again! :D

Y&R question: Did anyone see it on Friday? The very last scene was Bobby and Brittany in a passionate embrace and kiss. I think that the baby is really Bobby's and that Bobby and Brittany have made this up in order to: protect Brittany and the baby from the mob; or hope that someone like Mrs Chancellor pays them off so they can take off (Mrs C really wants JT and Mac together.) Just my theory.

ejs I kinda predicted that whole Brittany/Bobby thing that they schemed up a way to get the mob off their backs. I just wish Brittany would have told JT the situation and had him play along rather than have him believe he's the father. Bobby is apparently leaving the show in August, so I wonder how this all fits in.

Me too! I never liked Taylor (and have really never liked Brooke either), and I'm sick of the love triangle. I wish they would find some more characters so these leading men have other women to choose from! This show is an inbreeding fiasco! ;) But so fun to watch!

I can't wait to find out more about Dante. Yum!!! :D

Did anyone watch Y & R today?

chefker
06-27-2005, 07:14 PM
Andrea, thank you for starting this thread!! :) Other than GL, I do watch all the other CBS soaps. I think I was watching ATWT from my crib, since my grandma baby-sat me and had that on all the time!

ejs ~ I think that's a really good theory with Bobby/Brittany on Y & R. Something is really fishy there. I seriously don't remember her sleeping with JT either--I know she crashed there a few times, but DID THEY??? Maybe I missed an eppy? :confused:

As for ATWT, I was rooting for Henry/Katie, but now it's like I don't care anymore. They were my favorite couple! Now I don't think I have a fave couple. Oh, and Casey's being a complete a$$ to Gwen. I hope Celia dumps his stupid 'hey dude' butt. I didn't watch this week yet, so I'm a little behind in S/L's on that show.

B & B ~ Sorry, can't stand Taylor. I was never a huge Brooke fan, but COME ON. And was Stephanie having palpitations the other day or something? I read in SOW that 'someone' will be in the hospital soon. HMM. Maybe if Steph stopped her meddling, her health problems would resolve themselves.

I think Thomas & Gaby are very sweet together. Jury's still out on Bridget/Nick, for me anyway!

Are they killing off Stephanie on B&B???

chefker
06-28-2005, 03:43 PM
Wow, what was that today? Stephanie asking Ridge to 'forgive' her. Wonder if she's just referring to her usual meddling, that she wants forgiveness for, or something else.

Anyone watch ATWT today? I hate hate HATE Jennifer, with the white-hot heat of a thousand suns. GAWD is she annoying. Totally accuses Craig of killing his son, then when Craig fires backthe fact that Bryant CAUGHT JENN SLEEPING WITH HIS COUSIN BILLY, Jenn just glosses RIGHT over that, and blasts into Craig again. whatever...

I think Stephanie's faking it.

I certainly wouldn't put it past her. Pretty low, even for her though. And you'd think the doctors would be able to tell a 'fake' heart attack from a real one, but whatever!

If Steph is faking it, she's just as bad--if not worse--than stupid Jenn on ATWT, who faked that fall yesterday in order to frame Craig. What a witch she is!

I'm an ATWT nut!

I wish this crap with Gwen and Casey would just com eout already. He must be a complete dumbass if he can take a hint, lol. I can't stand Celia, she's so whiny and the actress who plays her stinks. I'm sooo glad they got rid of Raffi. I love Wil for helping Gwen out, he's a nice guy. I think Gwen is warming up to him too. I'd love to see Wil and Gwen together because they've both neen through hell.

Jen bugs me, not so much about the Craig thing she's just a giant PITA. Always worrying about Mike. God I hope he and Katie get back just to spite her.

Babs is a complete nutter. I wonder if they'll ever bring out that she was the one drugging Emily.

Speaking of Emily..eew with this whole Paul and Emily thing. Gives me the willies.

I wonder how ATWT will write off Craig and Rosanna, I heard both were leaving the show. Alison is leaving too.

Y&R fan here. Gave up on the B&B-couldn't stand Ridge/Brooke/Taylor yet again. I hate Brooke, and Taylor looks deformed (what did she do to her lips?).

I caught the tail end of scene today with Michael telling Gloria to do something, but he wouldn't tell her the reason behind it. Kevin was there, too. I'm assuming it's something to do with Tom. Can anyone fill me in?

Why didn't Michael out Tom right then and there with Ashley, when she introduced them? How could he put her in danger that way?

Do we know for sure yet that Cassie was the one driving the car in the accident? That was my theory all along, and I saw Daniel having a flashback the other day where he was telling her to slow down.

LeslieR
07-02-2005, 01:50 PM
grrrr! So Stephanie wasn't faking after all. She's so freaking annoying. Ridge is such a jerk-the way he went about this whole thing just makes me sick. I feel really bad for Brooke-let's just hope she doesn't pull another one of her famous stupid stunts (hello, Nick-he's your daughter's fiance!).

Yeah, Cassie was definitely driving, but no one knows it on the show. I hope Daniel starts remembering everything soon!

Even when Daniel reveals what he has remembered, who's going to believe him? (Besides Lily, Phyills, & Christine, that is). Nick is out for blood, I don't think he would care if Daniel were innnocent, he just wants to place blame for Cassie's death on someone, anyone.

udsweetpea
07-04-2005, 10:30 AM
Couldn't they do fingerprints on the steering wheel? And they can't prove that he WAS driving.

Did you see the previews for tomorrow's Y&R? He remembers!

I read today that the actress who plays Celia on ATWT is leaving the show. I cannot wait.

Yup, good point on the fingerprints! In today's previews for tomorrow's Y & R, Paul says that if Daniel is telling the truth, he thinks he knows of a way he can prove Cassie was driving, or something to that effect. Will be interesting to see how THAT turns out! I can't wait until Nick has to eat crow, when he finds out his daughter was actually the one who caused the accident. Nick has been a complete jackass lately, bad enough to abandon Sharon in her time of grief to go on his 'mission' to find Daniel, but what about poor Noah? Did Nick ever stop and think his son might need him around? Just my .02. :)

Oh, if Celia is leaving ATWT, I will be one happy camper. :) Casey was an ass today, telling Celia he'd do the commitment ring thing. Um, dummy, you're supposed to be a VIRGIN when you sign up for that! No doubt his secret tryst with Gwen will come to light and Celia will run out of town and back to Montega, brokenhearted.

At the end today, with Katie and Mike--was that a dream sequence, or for real? The writers never should have broken these two up. Although I did like Katie & Henry for a while....I never liked Mike with Jenn.

On B & B - WAS Stephanie faking her heart attack? Seems like the jury is still out on that one. I'm not a huge Brooke fan, but I'm totally siding with her lately. She really got the shaft, thanks to old Steph and her manipulations.

Jennifer
07-06-2005, 02:49 PM
I've been watching Y&R and B&B for years.

It'll be interesting to see if they can prove Daniel wasnt' driving...was I the only one who was shocked that Cassie died? I was sure she'd pull through!

I HATE the Ridge/Taylor/Brooke triangle...I'm disgusted they brought Taylor back and that Ridge renewed their vows without even talking to Brooke. :mad:

amyloo
07-06-2005, 03:19 PM
Personally, I love it if Ridge found out that Stephanie was faking and has a change of heart.

Then Brooke could tell him to drop dead and go out with Dante- just to spite Taylor! ;)

On a side note- does anyone else find it odd that everyone looks the way they should- except for her? She had way too much plastic surgery- and she didn't even need it in the first place!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

LeslieR
07-07-2005, 06:45 AM
I've been wonderig what's up with the plastic surgery myself. I don't recall Hunter's lips being that big or her face being that tight.:confused:

Ridge makes me sick. I wish Brooke would stop blaming Stephanie (even though she's right to a certain degree) and realize that Ridge is a grown man and he made his own decision and leave him to it. Why didn't she give it to him good for not talking to her first before renewing his vows with Taylor? Didn't she deserve more than that??? He seems awfully confused about his decision, (except, of course, when he and Taylor were having sex.:rolleyes: ) Let him wallow in it. He has really disgusted me this time. And, yes, I would *love* to find out that Stephanie was faking it. That would certainly serve him right.

KaliLily
07-07-2005, 04:48 PM
I was a HUGE fan of Taylor before she was "killed off" the last time. Her wedding to Ridge in 1997 (?) was the reason I started watching B&B (I kept getting the last 5 min of B&B with my ATWT daily taping). I grew intrigued with Hunter Tylo. However... I'm finding myself siding with Brook this time around. Stephanie went too far. Now, I don't know if she faked the heart attack or not, but Ridge making his decision to renew his vows with Taylor to save his mother has done a disservice to everyone involved (except Stephanie). If I were Taylor I would have serious questions about Ridge's motives in chosing her. And to rely on Stephanie to stop Brook from "seducing" Ridge at the beach house just showed lack of faith in her belief that Rigde would choose her. Ridge needed to be the one to say "Brook go home, come back tomorrow" and stick to it. What would have happened if Stephanie hadn't showed up...?

I'm looking forward to watching this play out.

Ive been watching CBS soaps since I was a teenager!

Im so sick of the Ridge/Brooke/Taylor Love Triangle as well! I think Brooke has fought enough for Ridge and should be with him. But whatever they do just get over it! Im tired of those 3!!!

ATWT- Ive really just gotten into this one. Ive watched it before but never payed alot of attention to it. Was the Mike and Katie scene a dream or real today? I like them together!

I have been watching Y&R when I was kid and my mom was a devout follower of it. I remember when Jill was kicking it with Mr. Chancellor and her died, she was had Phillip and she was and her mom was a maid for Mrs. C.

I also remember when:

-Mrs. C was a dirty woman. She was a wicked witch back in the day.
-Nikki was a street kid and her and Paul used to mess around.
-When Victor was a freaking nut and he locked up his second wife Julia's lover in a dungeon.
- Former President Ford's son played on their as Pauls police buddy.
- When Christine was called Cricket and she was a model for Jabot.
-When Brad came on as a gardener for the Abbotts
-When Victor got shot
-When David Hasslehoff played as Jill's brother Snapper.
-I remember when Michael Baldwin was sued for sexually harrassing Christine and sent to prison.


I have been sparse with the show lately because I am getting fed up with the story lines. I am not caring for Sharon at all. I never liked her in the first place. Now that she has grown some balls, I really don't like her. I think that her and Brad are going to have a fling.

Nicholas is a butthole. He is turning into his dad.

I am happy Heather Tom is not on the show anymore. I could not stand her. Especially when she gives this snarl look on her face...

I am happy that Dru is back! She and Phyllis are a mess together! I love Dru's attitude.

jbenny75
07-08-2005, 08:51 AM
I think Nicholas is a butthole, too. He has one emotion- angry. He used to piss me off so bad when he was all over Sharon for kissing his dad or because her baby could have been Matt's, or when she took off and ended up sleeping with that nasty guy in Colorado. He's always angry with her, but it's okay that he was sleeping with her best friend, MORE THAN ONCE!! She never made him answer for sleeping with Grace.

Now that Nick has found Daniel and knows of Daniel's theory about Cassie driving, what do you think is going to happen? I'm getting sooo into this storyline!

LeslieR
07-08-2005, 12:43 PM
I think at some point, Nick will get on board with Daniel's theory since Cassie whipsered to him before she died that she was the one driving. He's just not processing that right now because he's in too much pain and too angry.

I can't wait 'til I go on maternity leave so I can watch Y&R again regularly!:P

Nick will probably try to throttle Daniel regardless! I think Nick's being a butthole too. Hello, Sharon and Noah need you, you useless twit! Hell, I don't blame Sharon if she sleeps with Brad either. He's a lot more attentive than her husband is!

(Not that I'd ever cheat on my hubby IRL, but you know what I mean! :))

Ridge showed up at Brooke's, pounding on the door yelling to open up. When she let him in he told her he'd made a "terrible mistake."

Oh, and Dante kissed Bridget.

I missed it too, but thanks for the re-cap!

Ridge is a bigger a$$ than I thought. If Brooke has any self-respect left at ALL, she won't fall for that!

Not 100% sure who Dante is....he has some connection to Taylor I guess, or so I've read.

I've always thought both women could do better than Ridge. Back when Brooke was dating Nick (after Ridge dumped her for sleeping with Deacon while he was married to Bridget), I really hoped they'd end up together. Nick makes the best of Brooke come out. I never understood what Taylor saw in Ridge.

As for Dante, all we know is he is an painter/sculpter who resuced Taylor from Prince Omar, his family is close with Massimo, and he showed Bridget around Rome while she was in Europe studying medicine in Copenhagen.

On ATWT today - what the hell is Craig plotting? He is up to something devious....I suspect he will try to 'switch babies' and 'adopt' his own biological son!

But, I have read that Craig's being written out of the show due to budget cuts. So I dunno why they even started this cockamamie story in the first place!

Aug2002Bride
07-13-2005, 07:58 AM
Yeah what the heck is up with Craig! I think he just looks devious!!!

Whos for Mike and Katie getting back together???

I just started watching this so I dont know if its a good thing or not. But it looks like it might not be happening so easily with all Jen's drama now.

KaliLily
07-13-2005, 04:08 PM
I definitely think Craig has switched the babies' nametags so he can walk out with his biological son. I think this storyline is to explain his exit. Maybe he's finally going to jail. I don't think Craig has been in jail since the 80s!

As for Mike and Katie, I've always loved them together but had been getting used to him with Jen when Katie returned. It's nice they didn't throw them back together right away. I must admit I loved her with Henry. I feel so bad for him! I'm hoping Jen's health scare/baby drama doesn't push Mike back to her out of guilt/obligation. Jen's driven me nuts since they first SORAS'd her. When she came back from Europe (recast) I liked her for a while, but then she got hysterical and whiney again. That grates on my nerves. Honestly, right now the only person in a major storyline that I like is Will. Still love Jack & Carly, but their storyline is still building. :)

WisWis
07-14-2005, 07:59 AM
Another ATWT fan here. I definitely think Craig has (or is going to) switch the name tags. Didn't Dusty mention a birth mark on Jen's baby? That's probably how the truth will come out, eventually, and then goodbye Craig. I hadn't heard that he was leaving, but I'll miss him. He could always be counted on to create drama.

I hope that Mike and Katie are back together, but I do worry that Jen will suck him back in with the baby everything. I didn't like the look he gave Katie at the end of the show yesterday...

Aug2002Bride
07-14-2005, 08:09 AM
Yeah I definitely agree that he is or has already switched the babies! I didnt hear the remark about the birth mark so I bet your right in that prediction!

Like I said earlier I just started watching ATWT so I wasnt sure if Katie and Mike were "good" together but I did think right off they were cute together. So I hope he doesnt get sucked back in by Jen! Who was this Henry guy? Is she still married to him? I saw the one episode where she was talking to him about some sort of pet I assumed. But I didnt know she was married to him! Or what the story was between those two!

KaliLily
07-14-2005, 10:27 AM
Katie and Henry go WAAAAAAAAAAAY back. Years ago when Katie returned in her late teens/early 20s, she teamed up with Henry to take over Molly's spot as Anchor at WOAK and steal Holden from Lily. Henry at that time was station manager, I believe. (Katie's Back Story - Katie had been written off years before as an infant when her mother, Lyla, left to pursue her singing carerr. Lyla had been a Nurse at Memorial Hospital for years. Katie is yet another case of SORAS)

Since their days at WOAK, Katie and Henry have been involved in one scheme after another. Intially, they both came across as moral as Craig, but over the years their schemes have become more comical and entertaining than desctructive. The two have been best friends for years, though as time went on it was clear Henry was smitten with Katie. Then when Katie returned from Europe (after leaving town under the guise of reuniting with her presumed dead husband, Simon) Jen encouraged Henry to come clean with Katie and tell her he was in love with her. Henry tried to do just that when he asked Katie to marry him, but after all the scheming she interpreted it as his latest idea to win Mike back (i.e., seeing Katie marrying another man would drive Mike to admit he still loved her and he'd leave Jen). The plan backfired when Katie (finally) realized Henry loved her and that the "wedding scheme" was hurting him. That's when Katie decided the wedding to Henry was no longer about Mike, and she was going to make it work with Henry.

Though she tried, it was obvious Katie still loved Mike and Henry couldn't live with being second in his wife's eyes any longer. Katie tried to win Henry back but he eventually filed for divorce. From the talk on the show in the last few weeks, the divorce has already gone through.

As for Katie's pet...While stranged on an island with Henry, Katie found a rabbit and named it Snickers. She brought the rabbit home with her when they were rescued and he's been a part of the show ever since.

Now that you say the part about Henry and Katie at WOAK I think I remember him from then when I must of watched it every so often. It rings a bell anyway..the whole Henry Station Manager thing!

Please Please someone fill me in!! I can't tivo or record my soaps. I suppose I can read online, but I really want the recap from you gals. I've been watch Y&R since I was in a high chair (at the age of 2!!!) I started watch B&B a bit in high school and some earlier.

What's happening?

Is Danny (jr) still in jail?
What's up with Brit and J.T. (I know it's not his baby, but what's going on in that bit)
And is Ash still going with that Tom guy (Gloria's ex?)

KaliLily
07-27-2005, 07:47 PM
Baltimoregal - I don't watch Y&R, but I do watch B&B. This week has centered on Brooke & Jackie's mission to prove Stephanie faked her heart attack. Jackie has been wooing Dr. Mark McClain in an attempt to get him to admit (on a hidden voice recorder) that he helped her stage the heart attack. Yesterday, after plying Mark with margaritas he finally confessed!!! Jackie then took Mark to Stephanie & Eric's house where Bridget and Nick were getting ready to marry. When Stephanie saw Mark she wisked him, Jackie and Brooke to the guest house where Mark admitted he told Jackie the truth. Stephanie then looked at Mark and hauled off and slapped him, calling him a schmuck (I think that's the word she used)!!!! Then during a confrontation with Brooke, Stephanie went after her with her cane. Brooke fell backwards, landing in Jackie's arms and Stephanie smashed a lamp. Soon afterwards, Nick found the foursome in the guest house and told them the wedding was going to start and if they wanted to see it they better follow. Follow they did, and before the ceremony could start, Stephanie cleared the house of everyone except adult family members (Eric, Ridge, Taylor, Thorne, Darla, Brooke, Jackie, Massimo, Bridget and Nick). She started off explaining what the last 20 years have been like for her with Brooke taking Eric away and then working her way through the rest of the Forrester men, and these men always forgiving her for whatever she has done to them/the family. She then said that her life WAS on the line that night at the hospital, however...she didn't have a heart attack! The show today ended with the facial expressions of Taylor, Ridge and Brooke after hearing Steph confess. My personal favorite was the look on Taylor's face. It was a mixture of shock, hurt and I think dissappointment. Maybe even worry over how this news will effect her marriage.

I just remembered that while waiting for B&B to start, I caught the tail end of Y&R. Today's episode ended with Lily saying goodbye to her dad (?) before being taken to a Juvenille Detention facility. She asked him not to tell her Mom until she got back from some trip, but I believe he said he had to tell her before then. And as the guard/policewoman told her it was time to go, she started crying and pleading for her dad to take her home. I don't even watch the show and found it sad. :(

My favorite moment was when Eric kissed Brooke and said he'd always be there for her. I had to lift my jaw off the floor! That scene was AWESOME! Finally, B&B is getting interesting again. It's gotten a bit dull since Thorne's dramatic departure from Forrester. I may have to rewatch today's show. I missed some of Eric's "goodbye" speach to Stephanie.

She better not say yes. Good grief. I can see her hooking up with Dante down the road. Yay for Taylor kicking Ridge out!!! I'm sure she'll take him back eventually, but it's good for him to be the one to get the boot for a change. Taylor and Eric almost hooked up once, maybe they'll revisit that? This show is so incestuous, isn't it???

chefker
08-02-2005, 12:49 PM
Taylor and ERIC? Good God, how did I miss THAT s/l? :rolleyes: Very incestuous, those Forresters!

I hope Brooke just thanks Eric and says NO. Seems like Eric just wants to get some, and royally piss off Steph in the process. I don't think he truly loves Brooke (although he proclaimed to). Hopefully both Taylor AND Brooke will give old Ridgie-poo the shaft. But then he'll probably go after Bridget! LOL

Did anyone watch ATWT today? What is up with the Iris chick? In those flashbacks, Carly seemed to have no clue what was happening...she returned with her ice cream, and the baby carriage was tipped over. I think it was either an accident, or Iris did it HERSELF and blamed Carly. Iris did say she wanted to get away from Ray and Carly but felt 'trapped' because she was having Ray's baby....hmmm.

Oh....and on Y & R today....Dru just pisses me off more than any character in daytime. Not that she doesn't have the right to be pissed at Phyllis, but the war between those two is just getting O-L-D, IMO.
Looks like Victor is going to get to kick some ass at Marsino's club this week. :)

Oh, boy. Now THAT just might finally send Bridget to the looney bin!

I was cheering when Eric proposed to Brooke. I saw this coming a while back, and was so happy it finally did. I didn't watch B&B until 1998, so I didn't see their first marriage. Maybe that's why I'm enjoying this. Taylor kicking Ridge out was classic!

Taylor coming back has made B&B so much more entertaining. It's like musical mates. :D I can't wait to see who end up with whom and for how long.

I did! I think the theory is that Carly dumped the baby into the lake/pond and he was assumed dead. However, I think Carly just left the baby alone when she went for her ice cream, and while she was gone the baby was stolen. I think with Jack's help, Carly will start a search for her half-brother and he will be found alive!

Oooh, now THAT is a good theory! It seems plausible that someone stole the baby out of the carriage, and he's really alive....Hm.....too bad Keith is older than Carly, or the long lost brother could have turned out to be him! Now THAT would be interesting...

Chefker, basically Victor saved the day. He beat up Vinnie's goon. Paul jumped Vinnie, who was holding a gun to Nikki's head. Vinnie tried to get the gun. Victor picked him up and threw him over the bar.

Can someone explain to me the story of Lauren's son, Scott? Also, can you give me the background on Sheila? I haven't watched Y&R for that long, so I don't know anything about those two. Thanks.

LeslieR
08-03-2005, 02:57 PM
I don't know what the deal is with Scott-they're being very secretive about him, it seems.

About Sheila-it's been a long time, so I don't remember exactly what the deal was...Lauren was married to Scott Grainger (Christine's half (?) brother) who was a doctor. Sheila is/was a nurse and she worked with Scott at the hospital. They had an affair and I think she either got pregnant or faked that she was pregnant (my memory is really foggy on this) at the same time as Lauren was pregnant with Scotty. I know she stole Lauren's baby and I think she tried to pass him off as her own. She's a psycho, basically. lol I just checked a couple different soap sites and couldn't find any more info. Maybe someone else will have a better memory than me.

chefker
08-03-2005, 04:09 PM
Yup. I think Sheila WAS pregnant with Scott's baby, then lost it, but didn't tell him. To 'keep' him, she faked the pregnancy, got the fake pregnant belly pillow and everything. Then she bought a black market baby to pass off as her 'child', BUT Lauren was pregnant with Scotty at the time. As Sheila was a nurse, I think she switched the babies, and the black market baby eventually died (and Lauren thought it was hers).

Molly (Sheila's mother) figured out the truth and I think she told Lauren, then they confronted Sheila. As far as I remember, Sheila tied up Molly and Lauren at Molly's house, took off with baby Scotty, and set Molly's house on fire. Lauren obviously got out of it, but I think Molly died in the fire.

Sheila was on the lam for a while, I think Paul had something to do with getting baby Scotty back to safety (memory's a bit foggy on that bit though). Then Sheila ended up on B & B and married Eric Forrester. :) I forget how that marriage ended though.....

Well, Bobby left town today, I bet he'll just never come back.....saying that Brittany is safer without him or something. What a mess.

Yes, Sheila did shoot Taylor on B&B. The last we saw of her on B&B, she had abducted Ridge (and then Nick when she caught him trying to save Ridge). At that time, she had a baby with her that she claimed was fathered by Massimo Marone - Ridge & Nick's father during the same storyline that led to Taylor's "death."

When Brittany's charcter fist appeared on Y&R, I hated her! But now she has mellowed out and I like her. I read in one of those Soap Opera magazines that the guy that played Bobby quit.. But then again, I heard that they could not go further with his story line... I think there was more story to Bobby. But that is how the Bellsare :rolleyes: . I think it would have been awsome if he was like the long lost brother to Shelia! LOL!!!! One person I wish would leave is Christine... I never was a fan of hers..I would love to see Danny Romalatti make an appearance since Daniel is in trouble....

WTF is up with Sharon and Nick???? In the previews at the end of today's show, they discuss taking a trip to the city dump to get rid of Cassie's clothing (potential evidence to clear Daniel). Today Christine was saying she'll come back with a warrant. WTF are Sharon and Nick thinking? They want Daniel to pay even if he DIDN'T do it. No, let's obstruct justice, rather than have our daughter look like the irresponsible twit that she was, driving her passed-out-drunk crush home. :rolleyes: I hope to hell they get caught dumping evidence and get arrested. Let Victor tell Nick off when he makes his 'one phone call' from jail: "I'm sorry my boy, but I cannot bail you out....this time you have gone too far with your vengeance."

I can't BELIEVE Angelo is going to turn on Bobby and try to harm the baby. What a creep. :mad:

B & B today---I BAWLED my eyes out over Nick & Hope, esp. when Nick was crying in the chapel. Wow!

KaliLily
08-16-2005, 02:55 PM
Leslie: I think when Bridget came to the door, she overheard Nick telling Brooke that it was difficult to fight his feelings for her - or something to that end. Add to that the candle-lit dinner for 2, Brooke being in lingerie and the two of them sitting VERY close, holding hands, I can see why Bridget snapped. I'm just glad for once she went in and confronted them. I'd gotten tired of seeing her standing outside the door sobbing whenver she would catch Brooke and Nick in an "intimate" moment.

Now, as much as I enjoy watching Carly squirm and scheme, I'm ready for the truth about the baby to come out. Enough already! I feel so bad for Gwen turning herself inside out trying to get the baby back believing it is hers, when hers is the one that died. :(

Don't worry, you can catch it today. Nothing too earth-shattering happened yesterday. The biggest news is Carly and Jack were awarded temporary custody of Rory while Social Services "investigates" Gwen due to her falling asleep while watching Rory at the park.

Jack figured out that Carly set-up Gwen and urged her to meet with the judge before the hearing and come clean, but she refused to. Jack then wouldn't go to the hearing, but ended up appearing half-way through. After the judge awarded them temp. custody, he gave Carly a disappointed look and left, leaving Carly looking quite worried. As Carly was leaving the court room, Iris showed up obviously wanting more money from Carly. Carly told her that the stuf with her son was in the past and it couldn't hurt her (or something like that) and left.

I've been keeping up with B&B and never saw Bridget and Dante have sex (they slept in the same bed once, but supposedly they only slept). They never showed Nick and Brooke sleep together at the foundry - the just illuded to it after the fact, and this is soap-land so anything is possible. Bridget did say yesterday after her DR appt that she was farther along than she thought. It would be an interesting twist to make Dante the father. Of course, since it's B&B, that revelation would only come out after Dante fell madly in love with Brooke. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know if the actor who plays Daniel on Y&R is related to the guy who plays Danny Romelotti? I can't remember his name right now. I know Daniel is not really Danny's son on the show, but I was wondering if they're related IRL, because Daniel really resembles Danny.

I'm shocked that anyone could still watch B&B after they had (my fave character, sadly) Brooke spout that she got 'clarity and light' from the 'abortion' of her grandchild.

I haven't watched B&B since early August and I refuse to ever go back now. The show is misogynistic trash. I hate how they've written Brooke.

Yes, I think John did it...even though Ashley was standing there with gun in hand. Any other theories out there?!?!?

looch - You NEED DVR or Tivo!!! :D I LOVE the DVR feature on my cable box so very much!!! As a new Momma of an almost 5 month old, I don't watch a lot of tv, but I do "treat" myself to Y&R every evening when I get home from work. I cannot say enough wonderful things about DVR!!!

Victor - He's also one of my favs! I love that there are so many people on Y&R that have been on there for forever (My Mom is also a fan, so I can remember watching from a very young age too!). It cracks me up when Victor's lifting those big weights in his sleeve-less shirts, making his little "bop" noises. And I also enjoy hearing Jack refer to him as "the moustache". I think Jack did this twice during yesterday's episode, and it cracked me up both times!

Victoria - I REALLY didn't like the new Victoria when I started watching again, but she's starting to grow on me a little. I love her dynamic with JT. I think the future holds something "happening" between them. But I agree, Heather Tom will always be Victoria in my mind! Why did she leave the show?

As I stated in my previous post, my theory is John actually shot Tom. I figure Ashley got there just in time to see John drive away...and in his haste, he was in a car wreck. And I thought I was going to have to reach through the tv screen and slap some sense into Lauren, when she started helping Shelia with her ankle...let her suffer! :D It's so funny how in real life, I always hope for the "best" in people...but in soap opera world, I love to cheer for the backstabbing, cheating, fighting, etc...love the drama!

Y&R - I *think* I saw somewhere that they are bringing Colleen back soon...anyone else see this? Or am I mistaken? I'm not really into the "younger" peeps on Y&R. Around the time I graduated college is when they introduced them all, so I don't "know" a lot about them. I don't have "history" with them, like I do some of the other characters. :p

So, they have found Lauren and Sheila? How did that happen?

Once again...Paul to the rescue!!! They were actually starting to escape from the basement via an old vent, when the ceiling started collapsing. Paul helped Lauren out, just as the ceiling fell. Of course when they searched for Shelia, they couldn't find her body. :rolleyes: Latest scene with Shelia...showed her meeting with a plastic surgeon, and wanting him to make her look like a picture that she hands him...Lauren, I'm sure.

Benjamin Hendrickson was a wonderful actor, as clearly evidenced this last week in his scenes surrounding the impending death of his TV daughter, "Jen," portrayed by Jennifer Ferrin. I will miss seeing him every day on "my show" and am deeply saddened by his death. I hope he found peace.

Benjamin Hendrickson was a wonderful actor, as clearly evidenced this last week in his scenes surrounding the impending death of his TV daughter, "Jen," portrayed by Jennifer Ferrin. I will miss seeing him every day on "my show" and am deeply saddened by his death. I hope he found peace.

I just read about this yesterday. How sad. I read that he has been depressed ever since his mother died in 2003.

That is such awful news. My heart dropped when I read that. "Hal" has always been one of my favorites on ATWT. How very sad :(

Gosh that really is terrible. I noticed that he did look terrible the last year or so.

Anyway, I have been catching up with y and r as I now have soapnet. Is christine still on the show? I haven't watched in a while, and she was no where to be seen in last week's episodes.

It was so weird watching ATWT today knowing he's passed. July 12th will be his last day on the air.

KaliLily
07-11-2006, 07:20 AM
It was weird for me too, especially since his scenes were all death-related. I'm surprised his last air-date is so early, though. Don't they film a month or two in advance?

udsweetpea
07-11-2006, 08:50 AM
yeah....maybe those death scenes hit home too hard.

I heard July 12th through the grapevine... could be wrong.

Watching Jen's funeral right now, Hal just gave a eulogy. I wonder too if doing those scenes was too much for him. :(

KaliLily
07-11-2006, 11:47 AM
You're right about the last air date. It was in all the news articles I read and on the CBS website. I'm just curious why his last airdate was so soon. Maybe "Hal" wasn't on screen for a while after Jen's memorial service. They do tend to flip over to another major storyline once one has been the main focus for a while.

I'm torn about recasting. I love "Hal" but so far no one has been able to replace Benjamin Hendrickson. Randolf Mantooth was OK, but didn't have the right mix of tough, weary & tender.

Holy crap! Anyone watching today? JT is actually very close to finding out ALL about Brad's past. I can't wait until this all blows up in Brad's face, I can't stand Brad lately. He's all sanctimonious riding Nick's ass for cheating on Sharon, but HELLO--you cheated on your wife too, WITH Sharon!

Too funny though, they actually showed JT using a MAGNIFYING GLASS in his fact-finding. I guess that means he's a REAL detective now! :)

chefker
07-19-2006, 11:07 AM
(Y & R) I'm posting some spoilers (in white) that I found on another board. This story is going in a WHOLE other direction if this is true!


"Brad's Secret Mom"

Millie Perkins joins the cast of Young and The Restless as 'Rebecca Kaplan' (FauxBrad/George Kaplan's mother) on July 28

Millie played Anne in the 'Diary Of Anne Frank', the Oscar-Winning version

It will come out that Rebecca Kaplan is a concentration camp survivor

All her family died (sisters, brothers, etc) died but she was saved, because she was an art student, and the Nazi Gov't forced her to work.

She had children (Brad/George and Stephanie, who was murdered), and was forced by the Nazi Govt. to continue to restore and catalog this art that was stolen by Hitler's SS from Jews during the Holocaust. But, Rebecca was secretly shipping on the black market to be GIVEN back to its rightful owners.

The 'mob' (or maybe Nazis?) tracked down the Kaplans in the U.S., killing the family. George and Rebecca escaped, but the dad and Stephanie, George's sister, were killed.

George came upon the body of the real Brad Carlton while hiding from the people who murdered his family; seeing this as a way out, he switches identities with the read Brad. When the authorities find the real Brad's body, it is so badly decomposed that they go by the ID found in his wallet...which says "George Kaplan." For all intents and purposes, everyone thinks George Kaplan is dead.

George/Brad knows his mother is alive, and she knows her son is alive.

Other connections: Jana is an art expert who appeared out of nowhere and works at Crimson Lights. Also, Brad is very posessive of the 'Granville Global' account, which has some connection to the art world.





Whew! And I thought this would be a simple storyline!

LeslieR
07-19-2006, 03:52 PM
Darn it! I thought I had a subscription to this thread.

I'm so tempted to read the spoiler about Brad, but I'm trying to stay spoiler free. I find I enjoy my shows so much better when I don't know what's going to happen. I even decided not to renew my SOD subscription because they always give too much crap away.

Today's epi was awesome. I'm so happy that Nick is the father! I NEVER thought it would come out this way!

I'm kinda disappointed with Y&R right now. Not very interesting to me at the moment. it all seems so predictable as of late. Anyone else feel the same way? blah blah blah i used to look forward to it, especially as a teacher i get to catch up in the summer. sorry, i'll stop complaining. ;)

08-05-2006, 04:58 AM
Same here! I used to watch every minute of it (Tivo). Now I find my self fast forwarding through alot of the storylines. I just started watching it again regularly last year. If I remember from years past, it always starts to get boring in the late summer/early fall, b/c everyone is back to work/school. :)

Anyone watching lately? Who do you think the slasher is?

I think Maddie's rapist is actually Lewis. But I think the slasher is someone else. Possibly Jade. I really hope so, since I HATE that character and want to see her gone.

I'm watching ATWT! I agree Maddie's rapist is Lewis. And I think the slasher is Jade. Oh how I hope it's Jade!!!! I must admit, I cheered when the Slasher killed his/her first victim - Lia. (My mother said my cheering was not appropriate .) :o But Lia bugged me!

Someone fill me in please. TIA!

LeslieR
08-21-2006, 09:43 AM
He died on Friday. He had a stroke and bleeding on the brain. The dr said he was basically gone. He was on a ventilator. John had a D&R and Gloria fought it tooth and nail until Friday when she finally realized it was for the best to let him go.

coquelicot
08-22-2006, 06:14 AM
I couldn't watch the last few minutes of Y&R on Friday, as well as bits and pieces of other parts of the episode. My dad's funeral was 3 years ago that day, and I'd had to make the same decision as Gloria about the DNR order, although it wasn't due to a stroke. I didn't know that John was going off the show, so I thought that surely he'd wake up any minute.

Don't know if I can bear to watch it this week. Strikes too close to home.

Goddess Tiff
09-23-2006, 06:37 PM
Hey, Y&R fans - where are you??

What do you think about everything?

Victor - weird stuff. I wonder how this will resolve.
Sharon & Jack - YUCK. WHY do women find him attractive? He's gross. And so extra slimy lately...
Dru and Neil - Dru is annoying and pathetic of late. That said, I cannot STAND Carmen, so I hope Dru and Neil work it out.
What about the teens??? Did you see the other day how Lily stood up to the girls who were talking crap about her mom, and one of the girls basically called Colleen fat? Then she turned down a dessert and kept looking all weird...made me wonder if they are headed for an eating disorder storyline.

Discuss with me!

Adaya
09-23-2006, 07:28 PM
Goddess_Tiff, I'm kinda with ya. I am watching the show here and there.

Jack and Sharon? Yucky....what is wrong with her and what does she see in him? Maybe she's desperate. But c'mon....Jack?

I hate the Victor storyline. It's just too weird. I was okay with it at first, but now I just don't see where they are going with it. I'm over it.

Dru is a hot mess, but I agree with you about Carmen the homewrecker. I can't stand her. I hope Neil and Dru can work it out. Dru can just be too much sometimes though.

I don't really know too much about the teen storyline.....I kinda fast forward when they come on. But a friend of mine who watches it said the same thing you did about the eating disorder storyline, so you may be onto something.

Goddess Tiff
09-24-2006, 10:38 AM
It would be interesting to see where they go with that. Something I haven't really seen that much of on soaps lately, so it'd be almost refreshing. Sharon IS desperate, I think, but yuck. And you see Brad giving her sultry looks every time they are near each other.

Might be a spoiler if you haven't seen today's Y&R episode, so its in white

What the hell?!?!? Is that really Phyllis locked up in Paul's place? I really like her and Nick together, but is that really her?!?!?

LeslieR
12-28-2006, 11:38 AM
I just saw that. Highlight:

(I believe it's Sheila. A while back it was confirmed that she had plastic surgery to look like Phyllis. It was said that she died, though. Something about a fire in the clinic; finding her DNA; etc. My memory is hazy on the details, so I might be a little off. At any rate, I am so shocked that Paul has her! I had no idea that was going to happen. I love being spoiler free!)

Adaya
12-28-2006, 12:10 PM
I saw that today after not watching the show for a few weeks. I'm so confused. So does he know who she is? Lord have mercy. I'm gonna have to get back into this show again. LOL!!

LeslieR
12-28-2006, 12:30 PM
Yes, Paul knows who she is. He's the one that found out the info about her a while back.

udsweetpea
12-28-2006, 01:25 PM
Ahh... (in white)I never saw that about Sheila getting surgery to look like Phyllis. Why did she do that?

Jennifer
12-28-2006, 07:05 PM
udssweetpea - response to you in white

I think she did it so that she could get close to Lauren - since Phylis is one of Michael's best friends - it gives her an easy way to get close without being spotted - especially since she couldn't get near them, or Scott, looking like herself.

I actually thought from today's spoiler that she was in Paul's apartment without him knowing it - VERY strange if he's "got" her hidden!

LeslieR
12-29-2006, 06:23 AM
Since it's the next day, I think it's safe to say this without typing it in white. lol It was kind of hard to see, but it looked like Sheila/Phyllis was in a jail of some sort. It also looked like Paul was carrying two bags of food (carryout or groceries-not sure). Considering all of that, I believe he is holding her prisoner. I am still so shocked. I can't wait for today's epi to find out the scoop!

looch
12-29-2006, 11:21 AM
I can see this storyline now...Shiela mindtricks Paul, he falls in love with her, Sheila escapes, locks up Phyllis and so on and so on.

Seriously though, I do love this show. I am so glad I can now see at night on SoapNet.

I just don't see why Paul wouldn't turn her in to the police. Or why can't he just tell Michael so Michael could take Lauren off to some far off place where Sheila couldn't find her?

I remember seeing far-off previews about a week ago, and I remember seeing Phyllis and Nick, and one of them was behind bars. Not sure if its because Sheila captured Phyllis or because Nick was found out for helping hide the bodies from Parma.

I am so mad that I keep forgetting to tape it. I LOVE him. I've never been able to accept anyone else as Craig. I watched from 1984 - 1999 but always kept an eye on the storyline, but then started watching it again during maternity leave. The old "new Craig" was creepy. Scott Bryce and Lucinda together as so wonderful.

His first airdate was April 10. I don't think he's been on the last 2 days. I started watching ATWT when I was about 5 (that was back in 1978!) I'd come home from Kindergarten and watch with my mom as she ironed my dad's dress shirts. :) I remember Craig being rotten, I remember him being good, and I remember him being somewhere in between. Oh, and I remember his affair with Lucinda. Wouldn't it be a hoot to revisit that?!?!?! :D

Sierra (Lucinda's daughter....but Sierra didn't know that for a while). I loved the actress. She was another character I hated when they re-cast it (especially when it was "Kayla" from DOOL)

After much scanning of my ATWT 40th Anniversary book, I found that Craig was unmarried in 1985. In 1984, he was married to Betsy, who was then played by Meg Ryan (They married in 1983 and divorced in 1984). He married Sierra in 1987.

I am an ATWT geek as well - I have the 40th anniversary book as well. I don't like the storylines now at all. I continued to DVR it for a while after maternity leave, but then stopped. But I did watch it religiously for 15 years.

KaliLily
04-14-2007, 07:39 AM
I didn't like the Maddie & Gwen bury Adam alive story and fast-forwarded through all the screaming. It seemed like almost one entire episode was just Gwen screaming. I also can't stand how they have warped Adam into an attempted rapist, especially after what Margo went through when he was a kid.

I'm still on the fence with the Gwen look-a-like story, though I'm leaning toward the "you've gotta be kidding me" side. I'll have to see how to plays out.

I do like the Katie & Jack budding romance. Carly coming back to find her nemesis with her ex should be explosive, especially since Katie was the reason Carly's crimes were exposed. :D

I'm also loving that Lucinda is getting more screen time, and for her own story. Now all we need is to bring some of my favorites back, like John and Andy, and get Kim, Bob and Lisa some story of their own.

Jessie: Do you find yourself going to the 40th Anni book to verify history points mentioned on the show? When they brought Meg back, I was confused about her prior connection to Dusty and didn't remember Lucinda putting her through nursing school. I was really impressed to find that the writers were right on the mark with their ATWT history!

So, I tuned in the next week to watch it all play out. A meeting was cancelled at the last minute so Sharon didn't get on the jet.

Is anyone still keeping up with this thread? I grew up watching Y&R and B&B only while visiting my grandmother occassionally (couple times a year). Then, with the invention of DVR (greatest invention ever), I picked it back up a couple years ago and now I'm def. addicted.

Anyway, I'm so sick of BROOKE on B&B! I loved it when Bridget recently called her out for being selfish and narcissitic! I've been wanting to tell her that myself for years! FINALLY! She drives me insane, going back and forth and leading everyone on and then getting mad when someone else goes after whomever she just dumped. So ready for her to move onto someone new or just go away! This story line is really old. First it was Taylor/Ridge/Brooke. Now it's Ridge/Brooke/Nick! Brooke should just settle down and raise her kids!

I'm still watching Y&R. I think the whole storyline with Jack & Sharon trying to scare Gloria into thinking the house is haunted is pretty silly.

Dude, I totally watch all of them, and have since I was little. Mom and I would fold laundry while watching when I was a teen. She always knew what was going to happen before it did.

B&B- I like Brooke, but lately they're making her really pitiful. I mean, they could delve into other things for goodness sakes! We don't need the constant triangles. Also, ain't no way in H*ll any mom would sign off rights to her baby like that. Taylor is on my nerves big time and has been since she came back.

Y&R- pretty silly lately. Victor can't be that mean. Victoria and JT are so beautiful together. I think that Baby is Brad's. I can't believe how aged Danny was when he returned yesterday. Woah. He's still hot though. His head looked big.

ASWT- will someone please give Gwen a baby? I missed everything about her returning Halle, but she IS her niece, so it's not like she won't be part of her life. The Jack/Carly/Katie triangle is old. Katie, go for Brad.

GL- loved when Jonathon was back! Now, what the heck is going on with Dinah/Bill and Lizzie? I wish Ava was the previously sweet Ava. Her character is so bleck now. The Cassie/Josh/Reva/Jeffrey thing gets on my nerves. I mean, really, Jeffrey would be with Reva? Really, Josh would sleep/marry his ex-wife/love of his life's sister? Ugh.

I agree that some of the story lines on both Y&R and B&B are getting a bit out of hand. I mean what are the chances of finding an actor that looks exactly like John Abbott? Come on! It's ridiculous! Yesterday when the show ended with Gloria screaming at John in the window I died laughing! Also yesterday, the end of B&B with Rick kissing Taylor right in front of Brooke....how gross! I really need to quit watching but I'm so addicted. It's definitely not something I'm proud of! :o

What's even worse than the addiction is how mad I was that there was BASKETBALL instead of soaps on Thursday and Friday ;)

I had a dream about Adam (Victor Jr) last night, and I can't stop thinking about him! LOL! He's my new crush even though I think his character needs some better lines!

Everyone still watching? Any thoughts on Y&R?

I tivo Y&R and B&B daily, and if I have time to watch I do. I watch the other two occasionally as it's pretty easy to keep up with any of them. ha

Y&R- I get the feeling Sabrina will die in childbirth or during pregnancy (along with the baby). David will be exposed and Nikki will leave him for Victor. JT's not the father. C'mon, Brad is. Victor is still hatin' on Brad for sleeping with Nikki.

B&B- Eric will get mad b/c Donna lied to him, but in the end they'll stay together. Marcus will end up dating a Forrester girl cause he's a hottie. It's driving me nuts that Nick is plowing through the Logan family. I'd rather him and Bridget have a baby and move in that direction. Taylor and Rick skeeve me out. I guess he skeeves me out lately. His character is so lame.

GL- I can't wait til shit hits the fan and Bill knows that baby isn't his. Ava is a nut job.

Oooh! Good theory on Sabrina! I'm not digging her anyway. Victor and Nikki belong together!

Girl - step away from the B&B crack pipe.

I am a day-one fan and I finally gave it up. I just got tired of the horrible writing and of Brad Bell writing Brooke as nothing but a plot device because he lacks imagination. That's what is wrong with that show - it's him... the characters are just helpless victims in his horrible hands.

The triangles are old and boring and just like the Brooke/Ridge and Taylor triangle of old destroyed Ridge as a character (until they finally worked to redeem him somewhat) and now this new one with Ridge/Brooke and Nick is destroying Brooke (what was left of her). I finally just gave up when I realized that Brooke was being written as nothing but a plot device. The Brooke I loved from day one was pretty much gone.

The rape storyline should have earned KKL an Emmy nomination, but she got shafted again.

I'm just over it now. I give up.

And Rick/Taylor skeeves me out, but it does prove me right about Taylor - she's nothing but a user and a passive-aggressive manipulator. That's the ONLY good thing about the show now - Taylor is exposed. Funny how she whines about how Brooke stole her life (yeah right, I think it's the other way around), yet she keeps doing everything possible to STAY in Brooke's life. Every man she has EVER gone after (except Blake) has been with Brooke. It started with Ridge, then JAMES, then Eric (I believe she didn't sleep with him not because Steph wanted him, but because once she realized Eric wanted Steph, she knew he was over Brooke finally - so he was of no more use to her), then Thorne, then Nick. And now she's with Rick. She was also with Storm and Stephen (Brooke's dad).

If you break Taylor down over the years, all of a sudden it becomes quite clear that she's obsessed with Brooke (though to hear her tell it, she's Brooke's victim). What kind of 'victim' goes after every man associated with the woman you claim to be a victim of? Taylor's kind, lol. I think she somehow fixated on Brooke from way back and since then, she's wanted to 'win' over Brooke ever since. She's pathological, imo.

Brooke's made tons of mistakes (really bad ones), but Taylor's a whole other level.

Yes, vindication is sweet - but still not enough to watch, lol.

So much going on in Genoa City these days! Any predictions on what might happen with Sabrina and Chow? I'm seriously thinking Chow isn't dead... c'mon, we know better than that! Poor Skye. I hope David didn't kill her too. I really liked her!

Well Sabrina has been let go from the show, so I assume she really will die.
David is leaving the show too, so I guess that's why they killed him off too.
And Since

I am really enjoying the storylines right now. They got pretty dull with the whole Amber thing for so long. I have never liked her even when she was on B&B.
Don't love Chloe either. I wish for once they would let ONE couple be happy and enjoy a drama free life. But I guess that's not great for ratings.

Speaking on Amber being on B&B, was she a completely different Amber on there? I remember her having some kids and being married to Deacon, but they never mention those things on Y&R.

It's the same exact character. I expect they just ignore her (sordid) B&B history on Y&R.
