Mark Your Calendars, Lily and Cane Renew Their Vows Thursday
I don’t know if you want to DVR this, or make sure you fast forward it (I know which one I’ll be doing, LOL) but on Thursday, after what? two months of marriage, Lily and Cane renew their vows. Lily is suddenly healthy enough to get off house arrest, conveniently right after Colleen’s memorial (I C What U Did There Maria), so her warden/purse holder/con man husband/daddy allows her to visit Colleen’s grave.
While there, they end up in the chapel, and Cane apologizes for like the first time for lying to Lily, but hey, he still loves her. So frick and frack decide to reaffirm their commitment to one another with a vow renewal. I’m not sure if there’s an actual priest present, or if this is one of those Meredith and Derrick post-it deals.
Whatever it is, methinks the cattle mafia is coming to town soon.
I See What You Did There Maria. Lily Is Too Weak To Attend Colleen’s Funeral. ‘Black Box’ Anyone?
The number one counter argument to the complaint that colored folks don’t get screen time on Y&R, is that Lily is on all the time. True. But have you paid attention to her scenes lately? (I know, with this show’s current state of FAIL, I’m asking a lot from you.) For the last month at least, Lily has had the EXACT same scene. Oh no? Let me spell it out for you:
Lily (of course EVERY ONE of these scenes take place on that sofa, in that house): Cane, whine, whine, whine, snap, snap, roll eye
Cane: Oh, you’re so cute when make the ‘I’m pissed’ face. (pats her on the head like a dog)
Lily: yada, yada, yada, Dru.
Cane: How is babby formed?
Lily: You’re right. I shouldn’t complain.
the end.
My problem is not with Lily, or Lane. My problem is with the horrible writing that has these characters playing the same scene over and over. It seems giving Lily cancer was Maria’s way of putting Lily in the ‘black box‘ without obviously putting her in the ‘black box.’ See, Lily’s on screen all the time, so people don’t notice it. But the only person she shares scenes with is Cane (who might as well be on minority row himself). Occasionally one of the ‘others’ will take pity and visit Miss Lily since she’s too weak to leave the house. But it’s all so ridic.
She’s finally granted a pardon and gets out on parole long enough to go to the hospital to visit her dead friend. But Parole Officer Ashby tells her to make it quick, she’s sick. Hello, Parole Officer Ashby, she’s in a hospital. If she’s sick, this is the place to be. Now word around the ‘net is, Lily’s immune system will be too compromised to go to Colleen’s funeral.
Well played, Maria. Well played. This is how you effectively isolate a character and give said character a ‘reason’ to do nothing, all while giving people what they ‘want’– more Lily, and more Lane. At one time the Lily character may have been fully integrated into the cast, but these days Lily is just as isolated as Neil and Devon. The difference is, we get to witness her isolation under the pretense that we’re watching the character go through cancer.
But hey, if y’all like it, I love it.
Dru Versus Lily, Round 1- Dru
With all this Victoria Rowell versus Christel Khalil, CK is keeping VR from returning, CK quit the first time around because of VR drama going on, I thought I’d share one of my favorite Dru/Lily scenes. FFwd to the 1 minute mark for the good stuff.
“We’re finto have a problem!”
I love that bitch, LOL. Classic!
p.s. When I say ’round 1- Dru’ I mean in this clip. Personally I don’t give a damn what goes on behind the scenes. The show still SUCKS.
Good day.
Lane Spoiler, per Daniel Goddard
From his Twitter (the gift that keeps on giving):
“Cane and lily continue on their road of love and trust. With a love scene soon to come….”
oh jeez.
