• Y&R....Paul in the buff...

    ...I'd almost forgotten this episode! And the ones leading up to it! Maybe it's one that some people have called 'cheesy', but still, I can't imagine Carl and Mary being OK. After all, they were churchgoers, pillars of the community, and here's their son,
    recently appointed to the the mayor's anti-pornography commission! It's not an easy thing for them to take!

    So, it's going to be hard to take...him, and his wife together. How are they going to live it down? It won't be able for them to live down...and live up to the story line! Even in the stated time, it won't be easy to live up, or down to! After all. 1984
    won't be an easy time to live down! Nudity wasn't an easy time for nudity, even in the time frame. Hope it will go well!

    Yes...here's hoping!

    In 1972 Burt Reynold did a nude centerfold in Cosmopolitan Magazine, in 1977 Arnold Schwarzenegger. Another man to grace the center pages was Scott Brown, now a Massachusetts senator, but in June 1982 a law student who had entered and won the magazine's
    America's Sexiest Man contest. (That one gave them their idea ?)
    So people were kind of used to this centerfold thing in the 80s and it was old news really. Btw, while all the gentlemen were in the buff, arms and hands were strategically place to cover them.
    Imagine Arnold became a governor and a Senator Scott Brown, who is now Ambassador to New Zealand. Obviously it did not hurt their career. :)

    I think I kind of put myself too far back. Yes, men had been doing this for years! But, when watching a soap, you kind of get to know the characters. Not just Paul and Lauren, but Paul's chief-of-police dad Carl, his church-involved mom Mary...maybe his
    siblings, of whom one is a priest. It's not so much nudity itself, even male nudity, but how that family would handled nudity. My guess...not well at all, which is why the show was most likely chosen as one of the 'most shocking'.

    Hopefully for Carl and Mary's sake the staple in the centerfold was strategically placed. ;-)

    Yes, let's Hope so! Which brings us back to...

    ...it's not so much being about male nudity, as about the male whose nudity is being exploited. And his family's attitude and image! I really should have made this more clear in the original post.

    Oh...are they going back to newly filmed shows this week? I guess it won't be long before we find out!

    I never like Mary, and enjoyed her surprise thoroughly even the second time around. LOL

    But remember...for many years, all of the 'good' women were like that. Even some Men...

    Soaps have changed a lot. I just wish it had always been for the better. By now, each episode would be the equivalent of an award-winning movie...like now...

    Just kidding!!! I haven't made up my mind about the new shows. But, put it this way...

    If something doesn't happen between Nate and Amanda, just look for more 'fizzle out' stories!
