Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 10-23-09: Part 2 (”Okay, I’m totally calling this out now so write it down nown now folks: Jack and Emily will fall in love and Patti will either see a picture of them in the paper or spot them together at the psych ward and will devise a plan where she switches places with Emily and keeps the good doctor drugged in the nut-hatch while she pursues her dreams of being Mrs. Jack Abbott. Totally classic soap opera storyline — anyone remember DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Marlena/Samantha Evans plot — but one I could totally get behind nonetheless” Edition)

Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 10-16-09: Part 2 (”Dear Maria Arena Bell, please don’t toy with my fragile emotions where the Terroni shitstorm is concerned. I beg you, please, please, PLEASE let this be the end to the art stories forever, okay? I really don’t think I could take another one of those boring fucking epics involving the words ‘forgery’ or ‘authentication’ or ‘masterpiece’, m’kay?” Edition)

By dirkmancuso Daniel tells Amber to go to the GCAC, pack her shit, and meet him back at Crimson Lights. Yawn. Michael arrives at Crimson Lights Back at the cabin, Billy is being a prick per usual… Michael, Kevin, and Jana look as embarrassed for these two’s performances as I am.

Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 10-16-09: Part 1 (”This show always seems poised on the brink of true soap greatness and then blows it it spectaculerly. For instance, with The Moustache on the mend how awesome would it have been for Sheila in cognito to have gotten the job as his nurse so as to be able to keep an eye on the goings on in Genoa City from the safety of the Newman ranch — especially with Lauren being friends with Phyllis who lives on the property. And why not have Patti meet up with fellow nutjob Tricia Dennison who was a major thorn in The Moustache’s side and who was ten times more interesting than that fucking baby doll voiced Amber? Genoa City needs some resident bad girls who know how to get the job done and not end up in jail or the psych ward. And they might as well just have NuAdam and The Saint kiss already since it’s obvious that that’s where the story is going in an effort to use Her High Holiness to humanize and redeem the blind bastard so that we truly feel sorry for him when the baby switch comes to light and he loses the woman he loves who also happens to be his brother’s ex-wife and therefore set up a triangle for the next generation of the viewing audience” Edition

Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 10-09-09: Part 1 (”Welcome to week #3 of Y&R’s carefully calculated bid for Emmy gold next year. Unfortunately for them, the heart transplant drama is overshadowed by the sloppy baby switch and any scene featuring Abby, the worst legacy teen currently on daytime — and that’s going a country mile considering she was in competition with AMC’s Colby Chandler” Edition

By dirkmancuso Jack: I called everything all wrong — with Colleen, with The Saint… Phyllis: How is The Saint? Jack: The baby… Phyllis: Didn’t make it. I know. It must difficult for you to go through this, especially since you aren’t the father. Jack: You know… Phyllis: Shit For Brains told me.

Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 10-02-09: Part 1 (”I can’t argue with the wisdom of having all the storylines converging at once and new story coming out it, but good goddamn — would it kill somebody on the writing staff to find a way to get from A to B without relying on hackneyed plot contrivances, dumbing down the characters, and just plain insulting the audience?” Edition)

Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 09-25-09: Part 2 (”There is so much about this whole tragic chain of events that is right but unfortunately it is undermined by the sloppy shorthand shit the writers continue to employ to move things along at break-neck pace. Which totally baffles me, because they’ll play that Amber shit for all it’s worth but not the really emotional, realtionship/family drama that is what defines the genre and draws the viewers in” Edition)

By dirkmancuso Jeffrey confesses to Michael and Lauren that he and his little Glo-worm are broke. The Moustache comes to and asks SFB and Vicboria how Colleen is doing. She tells him Colleen is brain-dead.  Nikki: Hello, Ghastly… Ghastly runs off, Jack in tow. Nikki goes to The Moustache’s side.

Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 09-25-09: Part 1 (”I realize that the writing team of this show had little interest in Colleen Carlton, but good goddamn — any dumbass worth his or her weight would know if you are going to kill off a legacy character you should drag it out for maximum impact and use the opportunity to bring back characters to help delineate and remind the viewer why they should care about the exiting character. Of course, Y&R has fumbled this — and very badly. Forget that stupid fucking Amber and Daniel and that inane Terroni bullshit — focus on 3-dimensional characters like Tracy and Jack and the ramifications of her actions resulting in another death finally hitting the erractic Gloria. Good story comes from good characters…not stolen artwork” Edition)

Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 09-18-09: Part 1 (”I want to say that this week was amazing with all the story components dovetailing into a tightly plotted and explosive denouement but I’d just be lying and I can’t do that to you guys because I love you all too much. Instead what I will say is that there was a good idea here that went tragically wrong — oh SO tragically wrong during Thursday’s trainwreck of an episode — that was undermined by poor planning and a litany of continuity and common sense gaffes. In other words, another typical Maria Arena Bell blunder. Sigh” Edition

Rate The Young and the Restless Recap for Week Ending 04-17-09: Part 2 (”Seriously, Maria Arena Bell — you need to learn how to use your characters a little more wisely because playing the Nick/Phyllis/Sharon triangle for the first three days of the week and then trying to create interest with Minority Thursday and the newly implemented Minority Friday this week didn’t do shit for me. If you don’t care enough to play their stories, why should I care when they are the Friday cliffhanger?” Edition)

Also, can you please either invest in the fucking minority storyline or kill it all together? It’s obvious you don’t give a fuck for those characters as is evidenced by their total lack of integration into the fabric of the show and your reticence to play them more than twice a month” Edition)

How she totally ran down her sister’s boyfriend, motorcycle mechanic Tony Viscardi, in the driveway and killed him just because she didn’t approve of him? Or how she drove herself and Matt Clark off that cliff when she realized he’d used Rohypnol on her and caught him trying to rape poor stupid Sharon Newman? Or how she moved in with Victor when he was trying to keep her away from Victoria — she was played by the luminous Heather Thom then and was not boring at all — and Tricia drugged Big Vic and fucked him, then went out and got herself an ass whooping and said The Moustache raped her? Or how she showed up on the still played by Heather Thom Victoria’s wedding day in an identical dress and took her place at the altar with the pocket hunk Ryan McNeil and then blew his ass away when still he chose Victoria over her after she went to all that trouble? Good times. Anyway, I was wondering if maybe she could get a day-pass from the nut-hatch and come back to Genoa City and get rid of Vicboria, Amber, and Screechy so the endless eye and ear rape can at long last stop?
