The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

Quote djpp: Yesterday’s episode was particularly irritating! How can ANYONE side with Phyllis after she tried to run down Christine and Paul?! That’s crazy! And as if Heather would hope that Phyllis wouldn’t get charged with murder! Even if she had the hots for Daniel which is pretty ridiculous. Daniel acts and looks like an overgrown teenage boy! Heather looks much more mature and professional. It’s doubtful she would be attracted to Daniel, of all people! It’s not a good fit. Plus she wouldn’t want her father’s attempted murderer to get away with murder just because she wants to hop in the sack with overgrown teenage Daniel. Heather was becoming a likeable character. But again, at the drop of a hat, the writers make her character totally take a 360 and do something out of character like side with Phyllis!! How stupid! The writers are screwing up AGAIN!

And Avery is suddenly on her long lost sister’s side? We knew this was coming since she came on the show as the ace criminal attorney! But as if she would approve of Phyllis trying to kill people with her car when it’s pretty obvious Phyllis did it intentionally. She rented a car. She altered the computer records at the car rental agency. It was obviously premeditated! Avery judged her own father, yet he never tried to kill anyone! Or change paternity records so he could entrap a rock star to marry him and stay with him! Nor did her father drug someone to make this happen and purposefully become impregnated by another person to entrap the rock star! And this isn’t even mentioning what Phyllis did to Sasha Green or Tim Reid! Everything she did was unforgivable! Avery is supposedly so moral and just, yet she thinks it’s ok for Phyllis to do all those nasty things because it was years ago? Her father’s crimes were year’s ago! He didn’t try to kill people or drug people or pass off baby’s as someone else’s! How can Avery be so blinded by a sister she hasn’t been close to in years and one she always thought the worst of for most of her life? Avery was likeable when she was going after Phyllis and helping Daisy and sleeping with Nick. Viewers liked her then! Now viewers see her as an unstable, unlikeable character who can change at the drop of a hat. Not very good character building!

For Ronan to suggest that Christine tried to find a “loophole” to prosecute Phyllis is outrageous! Even if he did enjoy sex with her, it’s crazy! No one can stand him now! Why is he even in GC anyway? Victor brought him there to find Abby. That was unreal enough, but now he just hangs around getting involved in every local case that comes up, i.e. Daniel’s arrest, Phyllis’ arrest. He has too much personal involvement and wouldn’t be allowed on these cases. The FBI would want him to get his butt back to work for them not the GC local authorities! Plus the fact that Phyllis hasn’t tried to kill anyone the past 20 years (that he knows of!) has nothing to do with the violent crimes she committed in the past – drugging Danny, purposefully becoming pregnant with another man’s child to pass it off as Danny’s, altering paternity records, killing Sasha Green, attempting to kill Christine and Paul. That’s just to name a few. Her less violent crimes of theft of Ricky’s article, setting him up to look like he busted into Restless Style’s website, so she could be the big hero and get her job back and write nasty articles about people in Genoa City, seducing a vulnerable Nick from his Sharon his wife after they lost their daughter due to her drunk son, Daniel, being married to Jack and cheating on him many times with Nick. This is just to name a few dastardly deeds off the top of my head. Yes, Phyllis’ violent crimes have lessened over the years, however, she is still a sick witch who no one likes! And everyone knows she intentionally tried to kill Christine. She can lie all she wants, but the viewers from years ago, know she intentionally tried to kill Christine! She was completely self-centered and evil, and she still is evil. She’s not a “vixen” as she’s dubbed in the CBS soap magazine. She is an evil she-devil! She even looks crazy! If she gets off with probation as Ronan is trying to insinuate because Phyllis has an “exemplary” behavior the last 20 years, the viewers who knew her back then, will not accept this as a verdict. In fact, many of us have vowed to stop watching the show if Phyllis gets off easy.

No one ever is allowed to get back at Phyllis for what Phyllis does! God forbid anyone try to get justice in regard to Phyllis! The whole town will go up in arms, even people she’s done nasty things to – which is almost the entire Genoa City! Even Victor never goes after Phyllis even though she’s written numerous nasty articles about him and his family members in Restless Style! That’s unreal! Victor is vengeful. He admitted to Sharon he doesn’t like Phyllis or want Nick married to her. He told Nick to divorce her and take Summer. Victor would want to see Phyllis out of his son’s life forever! And Victor fires Michael for having his attention someplace else when Lauren got into trouble, yet he is going to allow Avery to represent Phyllis in her criminal case against a federal attorney? That seems too much to believe also. Victor wants his attorney to work only for him! Victor has been very inactive lately. He hasn’t been pulling any strings. It would be nice to see him pull some strings to help Christine – perhaps find Tim Reid? And to ensure his son stays away from crazy Phyllis! He didn’t want Billy in Victoria’s life, however, even Billy didn’t try to kill people or drug people, etc.

And the case against Phyllis would be handed over to a federal prosecutor! Michael wouldn’t have involvement on it either since he is a friend of Phyllis’. When Nick spoke to Avery, he’s only upset with Phyllis for lying to him about running down Chris and Paul and taking him off guard??? This doesn’t say much for him! The Nick character we all knew would be horrified and totally revolted by evil Phyllis not finding excuses for her! How could Avery even approach him to make him feel guilty for “abandoning” Phyllis when she tried to kill two people???!!! Avery hasn’t been liked by anyone since she became close buddies with Phyllis even after she sexed it up with Nick! Disgusting! Christine, Ashley and Sharon have been the most likeable women on the show. However, the writers have made mincemeat out of Sharon’s character. It’s as if some other character like Diane possessed her body. Maybe the writers should have just kept Diane on the show instead of killing her off and making us hate Sharon! And the writers should have killed Phyllis long ago and spared us her irritating, sickening behavior! We’re so tired of Genoa City being taken over by psychos and criminals!

Even Michael spent some time in prison for stalking, raping and holding Christine captive! It was fakey she forgave him, and he got his law license back, let alone marry a local heiress and become attorney to the wealthy Victor Newman, who liked Christine and respected her, and then became DA of the same town! Way too much to believe. Kevin never admitted to and spent time in prison for trying to burn Colleen alive! Did he even get prosecuted for stalking, raping and holding Lily hostage? His crimes are very similar to his brother Michael. Why anyone in town would want anything to do with these two men is unbelievable. It wouldn’t matter how long they behaved themselves. No one decent would rub shoulders with violent ex-criminals especially not their victims! And the same thing with Phyllis, although she kept many of her crimes quiet for years she still drugged Danny and passed off a child as his. That was proven. That’s sick! She could have been prosecuted for drugging him, and she should have been prosecuted! Tim Reid better be found and speak up at her trial for what she did to Sasha Green and to him and probably other things we’ve forgotten about! She did so many evil things! It’s hard to remember them all! It would be fun to watch Phyllis show her true colors again and go after someone like Christine or Sharon! But this time get caught in the act! Now THAT would be very satisfying to see after all these years of watching that witch get away with ALL her crimes and dirty deeds!

Quote annesfl: The bug has always been written as a "fantasy creature" for her father IMO. She was always sooo good and sooo innocent and all the males respected her and were in love with her. She was sooo perfect. that is what always bugged me about Cricket, Christina, the Bug.

Quote redhead61:

Agreed. I have detested her character since she was a teen. And 'fantasy character' is spot on. What realistic federal agent can insinuate themselves into a case without being assigned it, especially the issue of 'conflict of interest' that would most certainly prevent her from having anything to do with a case that she was the alleged victim in?! The whole suspension of disbelief is off the charts with this case. She would NOT be allowed to be involved in the arrest of a suspect in this case, nor would she be able to have ANYTHING to do with the charges. Its annoying to me to not have them follow actual police procedure. Christine is immune to having to follow all lawful jurisdiction? Christine is allowed to tell the DA what charges to file against a suspect? Christine is the powerful one to tell the DA she wont accept a plea deal unless it involves prison time? That is ALL FANTASY. In reality, its up to the DA to decide to bring charges and not some other federal dept. Its up to the DA to decide if they want to offer a plea deal..No victim ever gets to decide that. The writers give way too much latitude to fantasy girl Christine.
