NO MORE RUFFLES FOR EILEEN!

[alphanguy74]

Today really was disjointed and sucky. The blocking in that scene with Kay/Neil/Chloe... ridiculous. Braeden and Eileen's scene was very good, but of COURSE they have to tear Jill down completely all in one day. And although the Lucy/Ethel stuff with Kay and Jill was good last week, they STILL havne't explained why those women were ALONE in the house at bedtime. Where was Mac? Nina? Hell... what happened to BROCK? did he leave and I missed it? Whoever is in charge of continuity needs to be flipping burgers at McDonald's, because I could do a better job, and I'd do it for alot less money.

YOU'RE NOT NORMAL ABBY!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

At this point, I wouldn't put it passed these hacks to kill Jill by November sweeps.

Honestly, I don't know why they think the audience must hate this character to show such contempt and hatred for her in the writing as they do.

Unfortunately, you are right. I have a feeling they would not hesitate to kill anyone on this show--apart from the ones that should be killed.

[CarlD2]

The show is very good at degrading and writing down characters until viewers are fine with them dying. They did this with Colleen. They can easily do the same to Lauren, Jill, and Nikki.

The CASUAL contempt and hostility the show feels toward her is extremely depressing.

I never thought a Stephen Nichols character could be boring. How do you take a story about a man who wants to destroy his mother's company because he was given up at birth, and make it boring??

[Y&RWorldTurner]

It's funny, Y&R these days is either offensive, or is offensively boring. There's nothing else on this show.

This writing team cannot and does not do character writing AT ALL. These characters are so one-note, vanilla, boring, and even the ones they want us to believe are edgy like Adam and Billy are so damn flat and overdone, there's nothing really watchable there.

[alphanguy74]

And once again, Muhney is hamming his facial expressions ("Phyllis!") so I'm assuming Brock didn't leave town, and I just missed it? It's just bad continuity? do they want us to believe he was tying one on at Jimmy's while the house was being broken into? His presence would be GREAT. if they'd DO SOMETHING WITH HIM! I'm so depressed about Jill today. Jess must really be a team player, cause I KNOW without a shred of doubt that Dickson would have never played this story.

Jill

[Y&RWorldTurner]

As Carl mentioned, it's a classic case of this awful writing team beating a character down so badly so that most people will stop caring about her/him. This is really bad and manipulative writing.

[DeeeDee]

She's a two time Emmy winner.

It's just sad.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

The women on this show need to hold this hack writing team hostage and beat the sh!t out of them for this nonsense.

But those sickos would probably enjoy it.

It's horrible when you see a favorite character being mutilated.

[DeeeDee]

How do you waste Jess Walton?

Seriously.

Maybe they aren't aware of her greatness because she doesn't have that big mane anymore

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Jill could kill Murphy and spit on his grave at this point, and I'd still root for her over Katherine and Tucker.

And yes, I do think Murphy is a useless character and Katherine should not have married that fast, especially at her age, marriage is just not needed.

The writing wants us to side against her and laugh at her humiliation, but I'm doing the opposite.

And who do we have to replace these classic characters? Never has any Y&R regime been this awful at how to bring in new characters. Not even LML.

I know people liked to say Chloe was the new Jill but they can't even write for Chloe NOW, much less in thirty years.

Who is in charge of this show? Are they paid in money? Are they actually paid in jellybeans?

I still think this story might be coming at some point.

Katherine isn't even a character now. Someone has to all but pat her on the head in every scene.

CANE is more important to Katherine's story than Katherine.

A scene with her confronting Victor & Nick about buying Jabot will NEVER happen.
