June 8, 2009 Y&R Canada - Sorasing Summer?

Not a wonderful episode today.

Adam / Ashley

This storyline is really bothering me. Not giving it any energy.

Sharon / Jack

How is he feeling the baby move when there's not even a 'bump' yet. It doesn't start until about 16-18 weeks and that early it's almost unheard of for the flutters to be felt on the outside!

Daniel's Art Storyline

Not loving this one either. I'm not remotely interested and think dragging JT/Victoria into it is boring as well.

MaryJane

OMG...what a nutjob? Poor birdie flying through Phylis's window! What'll happen now that JT has found her? Looking forward to her identity coming out! (Absolutely Patty Williams)

Summer Sorasing...(Soras: Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome)

How can they pull off Summer being about six when a few weeks ago they were talking about Cassie dying four years ago?

Cane and Phillip Stunner Spoiler

Spoiler alert, spoiler alert! This was quite the stunner today. I had to rewind the DVR to see Thom Beirdz (aka the dead Phillip Chancellor III) as Cane's secret phone call (aka the call that made him look like a scam artist that was supposedly forgotten.)

Lane Wedding
After marrying Lily, Cane remembers the "We're In" phone call and then they pan to the other end of the phone and reveal the Dead Phillip Chancellor and the fact that they need to be 'patient')

Are we supposed to be dumb enough to believe this elaborate backpeddaling? How much are we supposed to just 'let go' as the storylines shuffle and re-shuffle? I'm sure you're going to be hearing a lot from me on this subject as they try to unravel this one?

First factor (beyond the dead body and all the years)
-The DNA test with Chloe's baby demonstrating that Cane and Billy must come from the same gene pool

There are more factors...I just know it but my head hurts just trying to piece together all the other parts of the puzzle that don't fit!

My New Young and the Restless Blog

I was born in 1972 and have been watching the Y&R for as long as I can remember. There were several years where I didn't watch it due to working while it was on but for the most part, I'd say I could definitely be a contender for Y&R trivia.

I remember when it was only on for 30 minutes. I also remember when Vanessa hurled herself off the balcony and Victor kept someone a prisoner in the basement at the ranch. I think it's hilarious and I laugh at the fact that the vast majority of today's characters that we love were once the bad guys (Michael, Phyllis, Kevin, Victor, who else?). I also love how they do things in odd places just to maximise the use of their new sets. I definitely think that they make the DNA testing industry seem very unreliable, don't you think?

I'm a freelance writer and blogger and have been pondering creating a Y&R blog for fun for a while. My husband and I watch the Young and the Restless from Canada daily so we get to see things before the US does. We also sit and critique the show as much as the two old guys in the balcony on the Muppet Show critique poor Kermie. But that being said, we are furious when the show gets preempted.

This blog will be my little Y&R soapbox so I can start discussions about what I love, what I hate, and what I'd love to see happen.

I hope you'll come back often or subscribe and please feel free to get in on the conversations!

Cheers,
Dana
