C’mon Y&R: Volume 1

In case anyone was wondering where the hell the daily recaps went, well, this is for you. See, the original plan was for us to take the daily recaps to weekly. Unfortunately, the time we decided to start doing this happened to be when they kicked off this bullshit storyline about killing off Colleen. Because that totally makes sense, MAB. She’s Traci ABBOTT’s only child and could’ve moved back to New York with her until the role was recast but, as my mother says, that would be too much like right.

None of us recappers are happy about this, and I daresay none of you are either. Even if you were never a big CC fan I would hope that you’d understand why we’re all baffled at this. It’s bringing us down, man! Before, we were able to watch Y&R because, on some level, we loved to hate it. Now it’s hard to watch the show because we’re starting to genuinely hate it. It’s hard to drum up interest, or try to be funny when you really don’t enjoy the product anymore.

But the fact of the matter is, people enjoyed the recaps. They’re funny! I’ll make a confession: when the blog was coming from an idea to a reality, I didn’t want to be involved with the recaps at all. I didn’t think I was quite up to the task. Then I saw the first ones from Kare and Norell and they were laugh out loud funny, and that’s when I decided I wanted in, lol. So here we are.

Even though we’re not doing the recaps now due to there not being one recapper among us who watches this on a daily basis, I feel like people still come here to get the real. I think we’re one of the most truthful soap blogs around. And so, because I miss writing on this here blog, and because I’ve been drinking (only a little bit…Shut up.), and because I’ve been watching all of the Ed Lover “C’mon Son” vlogs, I felt like piggybacking off that and making it my own.

Welcome to C’mon Y&R [insert side-eye here]. Here I’ll talk about all the bullshit that’s happening on the show, as well as the spoilers. All of this is courtesy of DeeMarie, or else I wouldn’t know what the hell is goings on, lol!

1)Sooooo, you killed off a young legacy character from one of the show’s oldest families to give her 22 year old heart to her 97 year old godfather? And then homeboy peaces out at the end of his 13 week contract cycle, and may never grace the soundstage again, proving that the entire storyline was all for nothing? C’mon Y&R.

2)This stolen art shit is STILL going on?? C’mon Y&R.

3)We have Billy, who is finally putting an end to some of my misery by ending his marriage to Kate, only to suddenly develop feelings for her right when the papers get in front of him? After this show has spent months and countless lines of dialogue and him throwing mad shade at a girl he’s told Lily and Mac (and thus the audience) that she was only good for playing hide the salami so well that she shoulda been named Oscar Meyer? C’mon Y&R. Get the hell outta here with that garbage.

4)Four words. Sharin. Ashley. Baby. Switch. C’mon Y&R. Holla if you called this hot mess the minute Sharin popped up knocked up.

5)MJ! What have they done to my boo? Used to be my homie, used to be my ace, now I wanna slap the taste out of the writers mouths for having her indirectly being the reason why my CC is dead! C’mon Y&R!

6)Black people. Where are they? C’mon Y&R. Stop acting like you know what you have when you so clearly don’t. Hey, you know what’s nice sometimes? Watching a show you enjoy and seeing people that look like you.

7)How long has this Adam is blind storyline and all its subsequent spin-offs been going on? C’mon Y&R. You’ve beaten this dead horse so much that there’s nothing left, not even some hair to make a kitchen ass weave with.

8: Lily and Cane renew their vows? Fa real? I want to know who does the writing for Lane because they have clearly never been in a relationship before. There is no way in hell any self respecting woman would hear that the man she’s married has been lying about who he is from the minute he stepped into town, and take him back with only a few tense scenes about what happened in their past. CKH has said that right now Lily’s focus is on the cancer, and everything else is secondary. Now, I’ll give her that. If I had cancer, I’m pretty sure the last thing I’d want to do is argue everyday instead of focusing on how to get into remission. But I’ll be damned if I’d go and renew my vows right after my gotdamn best friend just died and I still have my doubts about whether or not my husband is telling me the truth at any given time. C’MON Y&R! Sit the hell down.

9) Lily can’t go to Colleen’s funeral because her immune system is compromised. Say what? If my best friend died, I’d like to see someone try and keep me from going to her memorial, I don’t give a damn how sick I was. Give me a damn Hazmat suit and roll my ass down in a bubble or something but please believe that I would be there. C’mon Y&R. I think Lils has enough shit to deal with.

And, lastly: 10) Victoria Rowell. C’mon Y&R.
