The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

I know there are folks that have been very upset at the current story lines lately on the Y&R (at times I too have been left scratching my head and wondering what the writers have been smoking), but today's Cdn episode made me appreciate the acting skills of the whole ensemble. Well done.

Today was a day of magnificent performances. Beth Maitland's heartbreaking performance today was stunning- they should be engraving her Emmy as we speak. She made Tracy's emotions so honest and real, not over the top or too dramatic. My eyes were not dry at all whenever she was on. And then Sharon Case- another Emmy worthy performance which, like Beth's, made her emotional turmoil seem honest and real. Sharon is left alone to mourn the loss of a child once again, and my heart went out to her. It will be a real crime if either of these top notch performances are ignored at Emmy nomination time!

Fabulous....and why I am not tuning out....this is a soap and not a sitcom where things get resolved in a half hour. As in life, relationships and the dimensions that exist in them take time to develop and time to act out. THe acting will propel the characters and drive the storylines. Like a good novel we now know what the characters are feeling. That is rare outside of novels and why I love Y&R. It can be slow...but it is sure!

I am in the US so I haven't seen the episode yet but I think the acting has been at its best all week. I am enjoying the show so much now!!!!

I totally agree. This is one stellar cast. Amazing performances all around. Beth Maitland stood out by far. I've never cried watching a soap before!

No doubt Maitland and Case have given incredible performances over the last one to two weeks. Two women mourning their babies, and both actresses showed the excruciating agony and pain that women go through when they lose children. There is no greater pain in the world and they both conveyed that beautifully. Kudos!

Hope to see them both at the Emmy's next year!
