GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who Will Turn Out to be Trina’s Biological Father … Curtis or Taggert?
I love the show. I think the new recasts combined with the current cast has upped the game in talent and the feel of the show. But I don’t get the menacing aspects of the characters. IAN was a cartoon and never did anything from the get go to make him an evil being. Nor was Joe Clark even in the end (a lot of who joe was perceived as was based on Dylan – someone who was the same – and averys lie. Even Marco never came close to evil incarnate that has been victor. Now Luca Santori is… Read more »
So you “love the show” but “just don’t care” about the pointless direction the show has been in since last year??
Totally agree! Just not feeling the Santori clan since Day 1. They are a hot mess with Marisa seemingly switching loyalties constantly. They should have introduced some real competition for Victor & Company and let it develop so we could care about what is going on. Luca is good looking but his acting skills are not strong, Marisa is a snooze and the old man, unless they pull off something /someone really outrageously great, can’t be too much a threat. They need to pull a Dallas dream sequence here (well, actually they should have done that with the Marco thing,… Read more »
That is simply not true. When Adam & Chelsea got back together Adam did not want to have anything to do with his father (Victor). They had actually almost bought a house in Paris France when Jack called Adam and needed help because of Victor & Ian. When they got back it was only suppose to be for a short time and Victor refused to let Chelsea’s 2:1 designs leave Genoa City. By the time everything was ok again, Victor found out that Sage’s baby was Adam’s and blackmailed him. If Adam leaves Newman Victor will tell Chelsea for that… Read more »
Sorry it was not only Chelsea’s 2:0 Victor was also claiming Grandfather right to their son( as in not allowing them to take the child out of the country)
what show have you been watching? all these people have done something evil or close to it
What is the moral of this Soap, then , Pjc? One does not have to be a murderer to be evil? You got it! Victor Newman is the devil incarnate. He gets away with everything. It’s fiction, of course. But, do people such as he……..of his ilk, exist in reality? I think so. I can name a few, but it would not be the thing. Victor is the most irreverent, heartless beast, using his professed love for his family as leverage; for personal gain, to justify the degenerate means to a warped end. He actually wanted Billy to die. And,… Read more »
CeeCee, my dear…as always, Y-O-U are the VOICE OF REASON!!!!! Thank You. Take care, my friend.
Peace.
@jaybird369.
Thai you, Jay, my friend.
jack will be mad because adam got kidnapped by someone
If this brings Nick and Adam together as brothers then I am all for it. It has been a long time coming. This would show some much needed maturity on Nick’s part – finally forgiving his brother and working with him instead of against him.
If Victor is to be the evil incarnate for the duration of the character’s life (let’s face it, he will NEVER change), then can we at least have the Newman children put on their big boy and girl panties, grow up and be united as one? Please!
i hope nick is with his brother adam not against , i want nick to forgive adam ,
When are Luca and Marisa checking out of Genoa City? They have overstayed their welcome.
yeah luca did
They sure have. Marisa in is the opening credits, so I doubt she’s leaving anytime soon.
Every freakin’ soap cliche has been chucked at us since Pratt took over as Head Writer – nothing but retreaded, regurgitated, plot-driven garbage!!
Something stinks and it’s the current state of “Y & R” – a steaming pile of shizz!!
100% agree! Pratt doesn’t know how to write well, he just repeats one bad story line after another, and does it so poorly.
You bet, Joe. I try so hard not to carp. I have the nagging suspicion that Victor is at the helm, as always,…..I hope he really is not involved in his own son’s kidnapping. My gosh, he is the lowest of the low, if he is….despicable. Furthermore….here we go again; Sharon has fallen overboard again…we are at round one million. I think dear Dr. Anderson has prescribed a placebo for Sharon. It’s a repeat, all right, Joe….she will end up in the mental hospital again within the nutso doctor’s clutches. These people are supposedly so affluent; so smart; Dylan, now… Read more »
I dont care about the Santori storyline and wish Luca and Marisa would hop
the nearest jet out of Genoa City and never come back. And I wanted Chelsea
and Adam and Connor just happy for awhile, jeez, before more dangerous
drama for them.
Adam is always in the middle of trouble because victor put his son adam in the middle of it , adam always help victor win aganist his enemies
I’ll be disappointed if Adam was kidnapped by the Santoris …
Because-
It is too expected too transparent too usual, if it were the Santoris ..
I hope Pratt has an ace up the sleeve on this one offering us a shocker..
((I desperately need a shocker, haven’t had one since RC left))
I like the way you think, su. Hmmmmm. A shocker!! Let’s see….Luca is really Victor’s son? Or Marissa his daughter? I think the biggest shocker of all would be if Phyllis were pregnant with Marco’s baby. Too much time has passed? Yeah; too bad the writers didn’t think of that.
Finally, Adam and Chelsea arrived in a good place; why could ‘they’ just not have given it a rest? Adam barely got his feet in the door and off he goes…kidnapping, no less.
I have no interest in the Santoris, nor Marissa’s fluctuation between Noah and Luca. What a warped relationship…..’nite, su.
I thought the same thing Cee. Adam and Chelsea JUST got comfortable and now he is tied up and she is fit to be tied! And speaking of the Santori’s, not only is their nationality wrong but both of them have dropped their accents!
Maybe its Marco who grabbed him?
Hey, Timmm. As it usually happens on any soap, I don’t think the writers have ‘invented’ the story behind Adam’s kidnapping. We’re just going for the ride. I had finally come to enjoy Adam and Chelsea together. The couple gave brought much needed ‘familial’ comfort to an otherwise demoralizing Genoa City. Now this. I hadn’t even noticed Luca dropping the ‘unspaniard’ accent….mostly because he is such an irritant to me, I hardly pay attention to him. However, Marissa ( beautiful, exotic-looking woman) , who I do like, albeit she is excess baggage, I think; lost her accent a week into… Read more »
marco has been killed
@Alexis Bean. Yeah, Victor said Marco is dead. I dont believe him for one minute!
i will be mad at Luca santoris because he help adam
Marco is alive and kicking. No way does he just disappear without having a hand in this, alexis. Too easy. I gather you are a Victor fan?
i don’t think the santori’s had anything to do with adam being missing – i believe that the other sponsors/backers that kevin’s partner is involved with has adam…………..
another stupid storyline because first of all kevin would have taken the money from jack before getting involved with victor – where are tptb/writers getting these ideas from??????
That’s a good premise, elm. It’s ‘The Girl’, they want! What girl? Marissa or Kevin’s partner ( forgot her name which means she’s not important to me, lol). So, why does Victor tell Luca that his father wants Marissa? Could Victor have misunderstood? Or, is he being his usual wily-as-a-fox self? Could the other backers and the Santoris be one and the same? I just cannot get into this story, at all! More romance and less adventure, please. I am not captivated. I find more pleasure watching Sage holding her baby son….another stupid travesty. Later.
Of course the Santories are behind it. Agree with Pjc-a big who cares. Everyone lies (Sharon – again!), everyone is distrusting (Lily and Cane), except of people they don’t know like Dr Anderson (why would anyone trust her?! – only Sage sees this unprofessional intrusion on their lives and of course theyll say she’s delusional due to loss of Christian – Sharon trusts her with her meds against her better judgement – Nick confides and listened to her!), Everyone hides the truth for fear of repercussions (blown opportunity for Noah to step up , do the right thing and have… Read more »
Where is Summer??? WHO CARES! The only thing going well out of all this is Summer isn’t on every day being shoved down our throats . I agree with you about Amelia & Jason. They will be a hot couple & Victor will always play the devil himself. I wish they would soften him up. I want to see Adam tell Chelsea about Sage & blow Victor’s blackmail out of the water.
Hey, Nikki…to me, you know what would be EVEN BETTER…N-O SUMMER, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!! Just an idea………..
Later.
But its a soap. If the characters were all goody two shoes, we’d be watching this on a religious channel. Soaps are constantly building people up which ever way and tearing them down only to redeem them. Even Victor gets a dose of realism from time to time and loses his memory or leaves town to search for his soul. [He is overdue!] I am entertained and thankful these people are not really in my own life. Well except for Abby!
Your right on Tim and I love Abby too as well as Mariah but Summer is just too much. It’s not that she’s a goody-two-shoes, she just really irritates me. Her voice is like scraping a dish with a fork and she has a lisp not to mention always pouting. Im kinda hoping they send her & Kyle back to College for awhile (lifetime would be nice). What a thought a hour hour without a squeak from the mouse.
Abby’s married, Timmm. LOL. Seriously, I get it. I love my soaps…but, just once I would love for TPTB to treat the viewer with a little more respect. We are intelligent beings and should be offered a certain amount of realism. Considering the world’s economy, why pick Spain? I know I am being repetitious and redundant, but pick a country with a stable economy. What gives? Victor is Victor. I am continuously complaining about him…..but we gotta give it to the guy…he is that good, as reptilian as he is. You are right, it is these kinds of villains that… Read more »
It makes far more sense for this to be an Ian Ward act. The Santoris are unlikely to be involved in an anti hacking project. That is totally up Ian’s alley. He knows soon enough Kevin will fill Victor in on the “woman” he will trade for Adam because he knows Kevin was involved in Internet sleuthing for info on the paragon. Time will tell………
I thought Adam’s kidnapping had to do with that geeky computer girl? But anyway, if it is Luca’s family they need to cast his dad. Why not Michael Easton? I would love to see him and Eric Braeden go toe to toe!
Victor is probably Luca’s father, so no need for some one else to play the part…
Aint that the truth!
Oh, my gosh, Hayley!! I just noticed your post. Wow, I thought the same thing!
Hayley…Oh, God, No. As far as I’m concerned, Victor has enough damn children already!!!!! N-o.
Michael Easton is toooo young to be Luca’s father… But he would be a
great addition too Y&R. Bring him in as an FBI agent looking into the
Newman/Santori connection…working along side Paul and Dylan…
Or the Santori’s lawyer looking after their vested interest…
Like yourself ..I thought it had to do with the computer girl who
skipped out on her newly found partners.
I guess your right Fanny about Michael’s age. Yeah, bring him in as FBI and investigate how you go from making Latte’s to flashing a detective’s badge without even watching ONE episode of NCIS!
Good scenario, Fanny. I love it. Michael E would add that special kind of class that only he can bring. The only discordant note for me is working with Dylan. LOL. I can’t get over how easily he slipped into the role of detective. Only in soapland, my lady; only in soapland.
Thanks also to Timmm, for bringing Michael Easton up.
@CeeCee….@Timmm… Perhaps the writers choose to focus on a
Kinder, gentler Father & Son team than what is currently on canvas…
No need to name names….the perps know who they are.
Fed up with the dark side of Young and the Restless; just too much of it. The Kelly/Jack tied up episodes were absolutely nauseating, and that is ignoring the stupidity and lack of resolution. Now the tiresome Mafia chapter is expanding. For me, I just can’t watch this kind of stuff and fast forward. That goes for the Devon, Hillary, and Neil never ending tales. Apologies for how negative and abrupt these comments are. They just jumped out and don’t infer any criticism of the very fine actors who find ways to work whatever is written for them. As the… Read more »
AHHHAA AHAAA!
Y&R’s ”darkside” <– ahaa
((Y&R is peaches and cream))
I’m really enjoying Y&R lately, I think it’s smart that they only focus on a few stories at a time.
I have a major crush on the actor that plays Luca so I’m hoping he stays on Y&R for a long time!
the show is horribly written now, and bad acting is starting to seep in.
I’m so sick of another storyline that just covers up more of Victor’s lies and manipulation. He gets away with inserting Marco in Phyllis’s bed, he supposedly “saves” Adam from prison time by blackmailing the judge (by the way – WHERE IS SHE???) and then he blackmails Adam with his omniscient knowledge of Christian’s true paternity. Then he convinces Noah to cover up the fact that he backed his car over Billy – but does he blackmail his grandson? Nooooooo….that’s special sauce treatment for his one black sheep errant child, Adam. And now Adam has been kidnapped because honestly, with… Read more »
this show has too many highs and lows…. right now it s a serious low…. the santori s , who technically is A santori…. luca santori , who doesn t seem very sinister, nikki and neil? … totally outrageous, nikki needs to stay in her age group( no offense…its too silly)
kevin, mariah and technerd girl…. who cares?, and new billy #3….nothing sustaining my intrest, this shows so low now im actually looking forward to nick and sharon s baby switch #2 story…. ofcourse i ll watch any storyline that nick and sharon are in together!
Oh, gimme a break already!!!!! Instead of kidnapping Adam, that SO-CALLED Santori family should have kidnapped Noah…who is BEYOND ANNOYING!!!!!
Just saying……….
and he’s a horrible at parking cars too! I bet he cannot parallel park to save his life!!
Thats funny Harry! Thats about the only thing he is good for and he cant even do that! That scene with him, Luca and Victor yesterday, he looked like a school child next to those two!
They should kidnap Noah and give him a decent haircut!
And stop plucking his eyebrows like a girl’s. Noah has really nice eyebrows…such a fine arch.
He’s sooooo cute. How old is he 18???????
@Fanny.
Hi, Fanny, my lady:
Robert/Noah is 30. But, he could pass as 18….truly!!
If MAB was writing this story I would say Adam kidnap himself in order to get hold of Kevin’s project– but this new and gentler Adam who knows— just had to laugh myself silly when Chelsea ends up going to Dylan to find him– Dylan to the rescue again– LOL.
ughhhh…pls no praising mab! she lost all my respect when she married sahron and victor, which was pretty much incestous and rapey! lowest point of y n r ever… sharon case wanted no part of it and eric braedan was full of himself… lost respect for eric braedan too! that plot was disgusting
I wasn’t praising MAB– all I said was under her reign Adam was an evil son of bitch and at that time he would have kidnap himself— that is hardly an endorsement of the woman’s work. ITA some of her work was the lowest point for the show— sorry I brought up a bad memory for you, wasn’t my intent.
That WAS disgusting, damien, definitely. But, not as disgusting as when Adam pretended to be gay and slept with Rafe; who happened to be the best character on Y&R. Such a genuinely nice guy. I loved him. I still remember how hurt he was. And, what does that say for the irreverence used on the gay community? Bah!!
Well Mary I am not watching it enough these days to be on top of it but someone mentioned that whenever they constantly mention a past character they usually show up . Could it be Marco ? Lord knows Pratt seems to think we have to see EB PB and Steve Burton five days a week.
I believe, as I already said, Marco’s hand is in the cookie jar…really deep, Kay. I agree with you.
How RIDICULOUS were yesterday’s scenes when Dylan whipped out his badge? They could at least have had Dylan off screen for a week, saying he was in training/academy, etc., but to just give him a badge and let him go off on his own is so unreal. Of course, so is the police chief personally investigating every crime.
I guess in soap terms it isn’t anymore ridiculous than Abby becoming COO of a major corporation with no training or background in business— at least Dylan can claim his military service was training– I guess we will just have to chalk this one up to another WTH moment on a soap. But if I was Paul I would watch my back because the way it is going Dylan will be the next chief of police in a month– LOL.
what family? it’s two people lol until they start introducing the rest of the family il never take them serious as a threat to the Newman dynasty
It’s obvious that the head of the family will be revealed as Shelia Carter…..when Shelia “died”, she was actually comatosed and taken out the country to Spain where she was looked after by Niklaus Santori, who was an orphan that was raised with Victor in the School of Orphans, and was bullied by Victor/Christian at a young age, and vowed to one day bring down said VicChris…tech girl is Shelia’s daughter, who will later be revealed as Daisy, anywho, they will all converge at the Newman Towers where Lauren and Micheal will just happen to be having dinner and Shelia… Read more »
Am lost as to what is happening. Opened my recording yesterday and saw Marisa tethered to the bed mirroring how Jack was held by Kelly months ago. For me that is “dark” writing. I saw a picture of Adam tied up. Just can’t watch this type of scene without it being properly developed and concluded. There are “dark” programs on television which have a central cast seeking justice. The central cast gives viewers comfort. Young and the Restless seems to have become poorly put together vignettes introducing new characters that, like a tossed balloon, are floating around looking for a… Read more »
Love Y&R but lately I am soooooooo sick of Chelsea’s whining.
