I don't see what anyone is doing bad to Chelsea.:shrug:
Someone on twitter made a great point, I 10000% agree with Jack reaction to Billy/Phyllis HOWEVER, why couldn't he treat Victor the same way? What Victor did to him is worst, he was forced to sleep with Kelly, held hostage on the Island with no food and Victor made him believe he killed some people... So, why couldn't he punch Victor around like he punched his brother around?:look: |
Quote:
It's baffling that Jack's so nicey nice with Victor after the despicable things he's done but maybe the answer to that question is that he expects the worst from Victor so nothing really surprises (maybe even truly effects him anymore :shrug:) but Phyllis/Billy's affair is a deeply painful betrayal he didnt see coming or expect. |
Quote:
I didn't really like Chelsea in those Chelsea/Sharon scenes.:eek::eek: So, I tried not to bring those up.:lmao: It's just stupid though.:shrug: So, Victor can do anything to him and he doesn't get mad? Or probably it's the Mal Young effect? probably everything would be going differently if JFP was still a part of the staff.:shrug: This affair is going to be interesting because obviously everything will be written differently from how it probably was going to go... |
Quote:
Mal's rewrite of the affair makes so much more sense than how it was previosuly being written he's brought the whole thing together. The way Jack slowly found out over a few episodes was so well done. |

It does make more sense HOWEVER, it sort of changes the whole storyline in a way that sort of doesn't at times. Are we forgetting that Phyllis was going to break up with Jack herself to choose Billy but Jill beat her to it? and she made Phyllis break up with Billy.:eek: Phyllis did fall out of love with Jack before all of this, which was why she was going to walk away.... You know what, this reminds me of when Chuck Pratt took over Y&R in I think late 2013? and Sharon/Adam fans weren't happy because it seemed like they slowly stopped interacting and so much things were just changing and it was so apparent. Like I love that the affair makes more sense but it sadly wasn't written that way from the beginning so.... yeah, I don't know how to feel because I feel like I'm suppose to make myself have amnesia and pretend that a lot of stuff didn't happen in the sake of the rewriter of what makes more sense... |
Btw I'm caught up to the Sept 15 episode now.
I called it a rewrite but Phyllis' realization she had once admitting to Jack about how the Marco trauma made her feel towards him and the fact he listened, understood is what opened her eyes as to why she turned to Billy in the first place. She realized she was in self-destruct mode (like Billy goes into every few years) and punishng herself for not listening to the signs that Marco wasn't Jack. Phyllis has every right in the world to hate Victor's guts something which Jack should have shared in but for some god forsaken reason hasn't and that pushed them apart and made her think she couldn't count on him to understand her feelings. |

I actually like the whole way you view it.:nod: And I agree with you, it makes sense. With Jack it was difficult with him because he looked exactly like Marco and he really never has her back, he always points out how she should feel and telling her to back off where as with Billy, he acted the way Phyllis probably which Jack acted. He listened, understood her hatred towards Victor and was encouraging her to keep it going.:eek: I said that months ago on the Billy/Phyllis thread that I feel the main reason they were drawn to each other was because of the non judgement. Billy always get it from Victoria, and Phyllis always gets it from Jack and the fact that for the first time in a long time, they were around another person who didn't judge them. I love that a fan tweeted it.:nod: I feel even in real life, if you are continually getting judged for all of your past mistakes, and get no support, eventually anyone will get tired of it... I'll recommend not turning to your loves family members but I'm just saying.:lol: |
It's actually interesting seeing the Hevon affair being brought up (even though I dont like or care about Neil after the crap he's pulled) amidst the Philly affair being outed
|
Well it's smart for the affair to be brought up because it was sort of the same thing.:( Being cheated on by a family member.
However, for me, I feel what Devon did was worst than what Phyllis did because he did it to his blind father.:eek::eek: So, yeah it doesn't get worst than that.:lmao: So, I feel that Neil is sort of the right person to understand what Jack is going through even if people like Hevon and dislike Neil, he was the one wronged and cheated on although Hilary should've never married Neil in the first place.:shrug: |

For me what Devon did is worst because Devon/Neil relationship was way closer ...
|
Put like that then yes Devon's betrayal was worse on a deeper level given the closeness at the time between Devon/Neil. Hevon/Neil's story was written alot better and I prefer Devon over Billy when comparing the storylines.
|
Yeah I understand.:nod:
I remember chatting with you during the Phyllis/Billy affair and how the writers were trying to make Jack/Billy close again, and I was like... really? why are the writers tryng to make them close out of convenience to make the viewers feel more sad for Jack when everything comes out.:lol: I think probably one of the huge things is that there aren't much fans like me, as you probably know by now.:rotfl: I have such a long term memory that I really see things from ALL sides, even probably a character I don't like *cough* I think it's sort of like what Eric Braedon said a few months ago during an interview: Although I didn't agree with most of the interview from Eric.:P It's tough when you have such a long memory of stuff to just let some things slide.:no: I feel SOAP fans only have a 6 months - 1 year memory at times..."This is where the writers and I have had disagreements. They have their agenda. But I remember Victor’s history. When I see a script where Victor starts to soften with someone who has done him wrong, I say, “Bulls--t! I won’t act this!” |
Quote:
EB being like that with the writers is why Victor's written like a total ass. :gone: |
I completely agree with you on that.:lol: I think that brings enough sadness. lol But I guess, Billy/Jack had to somehow be close again for some people
Actually I completely agree with you about EB.:lol: I've heard for years that people feel EB has too much control over Victor.:eek: |

You won't get any disagreements from me about that.:lmao:
Must have signed one great contract. lol |
True must be a great contract.
I'd like to see the hissy fit he'd throw if not given a choice in a storyline. :lol: |
I've been loving Young & The Restless this week.:eek: The acting has just been terrific. Especially the action of Peter, Gina and Jason Thompson.:clap:
All of the scenes in the episodes were great to me. I sort of love how Nick is just going around giving advice to everyone.:lol: Sort of like what Neil has been doing as well. lol That conversation between Billy and Victoria was probably my favorite scene of the episode because it just showed that Billy is just completely in love with Phyllis, and I really think it just shocked Victoria. Victoria really wished or even hoped that it was just a fling but it wasn't. And Victoria was mocking Billy by saying he was an mistake.:( Because that's what Phyllis called the affair. Of course when Billy heard that, it tore his heart apart. ... and of course all of this is just making Phyllis look so horrible because Billy and Jack are far from repair and Phyllis is the reason why and now she's just hurting both brothers more with each word she says. lol Now back to the Billy and Victoria scene, when Billy expressed his love for Phyllis. I was shocked and the fact that Billy said he is sure Phyllis is talking out of guilt... sort of how I'm feeling. The way Billy is feeling is the EXACT same way I'm feeling about this. I love that he brought up that Phyllis choose him but Jill got in the middle and ruined everything because that is exactly what happen. They choose each other, but Jill got in the middle and everything got ruined. So, when Victoria heard about Jill's blackmail, she seemed heartbroken. :eek: Also, when Billy brought up how Victoria want to keep the kids away from him.:no: I'm sorry I don't get that at all. Billy has an affair (not with her) so he can't see his kids? WTF. lol Also, that Jack and Billy scene at the beginning of the episode was great! because again, Billy said all the words I said about why Phyllis cheated on him.:lmao: Oddly enough Victor said the exact same thing... "Do I have anything to do with Phyllis being in your brother's bed? She didn't just want sex with him. She wanted to find someone who hated me as much as she did." That quote is so heartwreching true because for some reason, it feels like it's something in Jack that can't hate Victor regardless of what he does.:( And Billy was everything that Phyllis probably wanted Jack to be but he wasn't.:nod: |

They sure have although Phyllis is looking pretty pathetic right now. lol
I'm one episode behind though. |
I'm gonna be so annoyed if Jack ends up getting thrown under the bus to try make Billy/Phyllis not look like the bad guys in this current situation.
|
Well Jack will look like the good guy here.
However, the did it to Neil so...:shrug: What's the difference if they do it with Jack? lol Is it that the fans dislike Neil more for some reason?:P Well I think you know how I feel about this, I don't feel sad for Jack at all... That might makes me seem mean but yeah... I look at this storyline from the whole perspective. I didn't like Jack for like the past year, so yeah.... I love the acting from Peter, not the cowardness of Jack because this reveal. He never has his wife or brother's back so I won't have amnesia for it. lol |
I like the current Jack we're seeing it's quite funny tbh and great acting by Peter. He's not being anyones doormat anymore so that's one good thing to come of him finding out about Philly it's put some fire in his belly.
|
I agree with that. If I've seen this Jack all year, I would have been happy.... so, this is the Jack I can actually start liking. So, good job writers.
