The Young and the Restless: Week in Review for 10/18/10

Jess Walton and Tracey BregmanAnother week of The Young and the Restless, another batch of memorable moments both scandalous and wonderful. Read our favorites below, and let us know what yours were!

 

Best Moment: We know that nothing can absolve Adam from his crimes against Sharon and Ashley (notice we're less concerned about anything he may have done to Victor), but it's nice to see him at least starting down that long road. Plus, isn't it fun to watch Nick get so flustered?

 

We know, we're weirdo Adam-lovers. Tell us about it, in the comments!

 

Funniest Moment: The entirety of Thursday's interactions between Lauren, Jill, and Nikki had us cracking up. Basically -- Lauren and Jill hug and make up, only for the entire thing to fall apart when Nikki comes in to get a wedding dress. While we're usually the first to fault Jill for being hyper-sensitive, we can't blame her for reacting to Nikki's comment about Kay finally having a daughter to throw a wedding for. Plus, we agree with most of what she said -- Nikki isn't 16, and she and Victor are pushing their luck with yet another marriage.

 

WTH? Moment: OK, we know it happened last week, but our confusion about it (and the fall out) continued on to Monday. Why in the world did Tucker hook up with Diane?

 

Also! Cane! Talk to your family and friends and work things out. You're not alone, and you can't keep running.

 

And thus concludes the "everyone should make better decisions" rant for this week.

 

Performer of the Week: We thought everyone was pretty great (Abby's concern for Ashley, Phyllis's mockery of Diane, Meggie's smug sneakiness), but we are going to give this to Melody Thomas Scott for playing Nikki as she completely falls apart.

 

Why We Love The Young and the Restless This Week: We are such suckers for Victor kicking in a door.

 

What were your favorite moments on Y&R this week?

I really like Adam. He needs to just get the heck outta dodge. I am hoping Nick and Sharon WILL NOT get back together. I wish they would kill Sharon off- her character is utterly and completely annoying. The whole Meggie/Deacon bit is nonsense. Victor isn't attracted to that cow. Deacon is a loser. Please don't let Nikki be that dumb!! The Victor/Victoria/Abbey lawsuit is getting old. Can't believe how entitle Victoria thinks she is to Victor's company/money. Hopefully, Abbey will tell Mr. Abrahams she wants to accept Victor's final offer. The whole thing is absolutely boring......

If Victor loves Nikki like he says he does, he wouldn't need Jill to tell him she's drinking again. Even Gloria knows what's up. Kudos to Billy for telling Gloria that if she says anything about Nikki that will hurt Victoria, he will ruin her. Whatta man!

I agree with so many of you here. Its rather hard to watch how Victor and Nikki are being played right now. I mean who would makeThe Great Victor Newman so dumb that he wouldn't be able to recognize how his precious Nikki is being used, abused, and misused! Victor should be on his job getting ready to tear both Meggie and Decon apart for what they have done to Nikki. And, I just can't take how Sharon and Nick or being played with Adam all in the middle like Sharon is some type of loose screw that would really let a man who stole her baby ever touch her again.Nick and Victor need to be about the business of taking care of the women and family they love. Meggie and Adam are two characters that should both meet some type of terrible ends, and while you are at it, put Decon on that list, also. I really regret that I haven't been able to stomach the show lately, but its nice to know I'm not alone in my disgust for the show these days. I love y&r but not these totally disgraceful story lines, I know its only a soap, but I miss rushing in to see it and getting my friends, who don't watch, all informed of the story lines going on!! I'd have them talking for hours, about a show, they didn't even watch, and it was really big fun, now they just wonder why I'm not trying to break a leg to watch anymore.

I do agree that MTS is doing great work with Nikki's relapse, but the whole thing has become hard to buy and to stomach. How is it that it took ten seconds for Jill to recognize the alcohol in Nikki's mug yet Nikki herself has never caught on to what Meggie is doing? Meggie is just too skeevy for me, and with the pace that Murphy's story is moving at, I'm worried she's going to be around forever. Let's speed both of these stories up and get Meggie off to jail.

Cane's story doesn't interest me much and the whole Phyllis/Diane thing is already old and tired to me. Jack should just take Kyle and run far and fast from both of those women.

I'm sorry, but Victor long ago blew through my patience and admiration. He could kick in a door every week, but he'll never be more than arrogant, cruel, control freak to me. He's certainly not part of what I love about the show. Ever.

As much as I dislike Victor, I love Adam, so I guess I'm right there with you in your weirdo-ness!

Having said that, I think you completely overlooked the best moments by far of the week: JT's scenes with Victoria and Billy. Granted, they weren't as flashy as Adam, but they were poignant and signified genuine development of the characters. After months of hostility, seeing Victoria and JT share their memories and promise to work together for Reed's sake was very touching, as was seeing JT put aside his animosity for Billy and request his promise to take care of Reed. That was a huge moment for both of those men. (All three of the actors were pitch perfect in their scenes.)

I have already quit watching. The show right now just sucks!!!!! You have ruined all the good charactors that we have all loved watching through the years. You have made fools out of Victor and Nikki. There are two many good actors on this show to have all the bad storylines. It is really a shame the writers have runied this show the way they have.

I know that this is a soap opera, but, if you don't start making some better storylines. I will definitely turn off y 7r. please, why are you making nikki go through this alcholic faze. please, you would think that if someone is a recovering addict. that they would know when they are being drugged, again. if you don't get meggie off the show, and safe murphy. then I will stop watching the show. I am a long time wiewer,
