Is Y&R attempting to restore itself after those less than stellar months. Random thoughts: Felt for Jill so bad, don't like her and Kay enemies. AND BRING ON STEPHEN NICHOLS PLEASE! No discredit to William Russ, but not what I'm looking for in this businessman & Kay's son. Good luck in the future to you though!
Check out this interview Peter Bergman (Jack) of Y&R dishes with ET Online!
Read in full, but here are some excerpts:
ET: How has daytime changed over the more than 20 years you have been a part of it?
Peter Bergman: Let me give you a few examples. When I first started, on every single show there was the town slut. You can't do that post-AIDS. People on television are talking about whether or not they are protected. That stuff never went on 30 years ago. Scenes were longer. Stuff really happened in scenes. Between commercials there would be two scenes, now there are four.
ET: Do you think that is because of MTV?
Peter Bergman: In part because of MTV; in part, America's attention span has just shrunk.
ET: Why do you think "Y&R" has been No. 1 for so long? Do you think it is the reality of the stories?Read more...
Peter Bergman: I think in part it is the reality of the stories. There is something to be said for momentum and people not changing the channel. When you turn on "The Young and the Restless," you know what you are going to see. You are probably going to see Nikki (Scott), or Victor, or Jack, or Ashley (Eileen Davidson) -- the people that you are used to seeing on the show. Some of these other shows, you turn it on and you don't know the characters.
ET: And you know this because…?
Peter Bergman: I always make it my business to watch [other soaps]. I am here at Television City in my dressing room. I watch "Days of our Lives," "One Life to Live," "All My Children," "General Hospital" and "The Bold and the Beautiful." I make my way around a) because I have friends on these shows; and b) because I can steal stuff.
Eyes still peeled and mind running haywire thinking about where they are going to go with this. Are the rampant rumors of Tammin Surrsok's exit being proved. Could things turn wrong for MJ (PLEASE NO!).
With Adam's help, the psychiatrist says Ashley is under alot of stress and depression, and doesn't need to go to a mental hospital! Jack is outraged. Phyllis go
es to see Sharon and questions her about Jack not seeing her. She says she's taking her advice and not leaning on her exes! As Phyllis leaves, shes sees Nick asking a doctor about Sharon. Phyllis is realizing the truth and confronts Jack about Sharon's baby's paternity and he lies.
Couldn't find the fanastic clips of bro & sis Patty and Paul today! As Patty takes Paul hostage they have a spat and she accidentally stabs him. They have a tender sibling moment until the cops are on their trail. Heather and JT are worried. Paul calls Todd who has contacted a local monestary to help them out, and this is where Paul and Patty head!
Nick/Sharon/Phyllis clip is included with Ashley/Jack/Victor/Adam, and for some reason the end scene in which Ash asks Adam to lay down with her until she falls asleep isn't included.
Vail Bloom delivers another great performance as she and Rafe duke it out in a war of words! Too bad it ended to soon. Rafe then goes and visits Adam and wants to help him "come out" since he and Heather are over. Sharon has to go to a psych facility or risk ten years in prison. Abby finds Adam's bugs, and yet again he gets out of it when Ashley thinks Estella, of course and Victor thinks Mary Jane! MJ calls Victor and wants money or she'll rat him out. When he refuses, she plants a note in JT's pocket to implicate Victor! Phyllis finds out about what Sharon stole, Sharon in turn calls Nick and says they need to talk.
Quote of the Day: (keep in mind this is ad-libbed): (Adam mocking Abby) - "See how pretty I look??...See how annoying you are?"
Nick pops the question, again to Phyllis. Sharon tells Jack he is not the father of her baby. Billy rants at Jill. Chance and Phillip finally meet up and have an honest discussion.
Mac tells MJ she's her friend - lets her stay in the back room at Jimmy's. Billy and Cane go at it, as he lets a secret slip out. Phyllis attacks a woman at Crimson Lights looking like MJ, when the woman threatens to press charges, Sharon takes up for her. Phyllis, Nick and Summer watch Nick and Phyllis's wedding while Sharon watches her wedding to Nick. Victor forgives Nikki on the anniversary of Sabrina's accident. Jack and Victor agree to work together to help take down MJ, but after meeting with Paul and Billy, he deducts Victor may be behind the scheme. Cane vows to stand by Lily' side. More clips soon.
Are Victor (Eric Braeden)'s misdeeds and Sharon (Sharon Case)'s lies catching up with them? Does Billy (Billy Miller) know who he's messing with?
