This is Michael Dietz as Alan-Michael. OK would be the best description. He wasn't bad but he seemed very young and green. They regressed the character as a result.
I think this paralysis is what leads Annie to working for Alan, which is at least some interesting story for a while.
Josh Taylor was only filling in as Quint. I felt bad for Michael Tylo at the time as some fans and soap magazines, IIRC, praised Taylor, as he was charismatic and had some chemistry with Lisa Brown at a time when Tylo seemed at a low ebb. Unfortunately Tylo was fired (without even getting an onscreen exit) before they could properly have the story fans would have wanted where he pursued Nola and reunited with her.

I know, I thought that was funny, too! "Oh, a nickname will come later in life." Did it EVER for Alan Michael?
I know by this time most of the show's history was forgotten or ignored, but I can't help remembering Phillip crying about how he always wanted to change his name to Alan Spaulding, Jr. when he found out Alan wasn't his biological father. (Is there anyone who really prefers being a Junior?)
I don't get why they named him after Alan in the first place, since Phillip spent about 90% of his adult life hating him, or, at the very least, mad at him.
I watched the 1996 episode that was recently uploaded. I rarely look at episodes from that era. It wasn't a great episode, but it wasn't a terrible episode, either. Alan was paralyzed for, what, like the 12th time? Let me guess: he's going to recover and not tell anyone about it. Just like he did the other 11 times, LOL.
I'm not sure which Alan Michael this was--I thought he was O.K. Maybe if I had to put up with him for more than a scene or two I would feel differently about it.
The Ross and Blake twins were just born--what a dumb storyline. But in this particular episode it was sweet, everyone happy about the twins being born.
The one part of the episode I quite enjoyed was a scene between Nola and Bridget. Bridget wanted plastic surgery because she wants to be gorgeous, and Nola was trying to talk her out of it. I wish they had leaned into this kind of thing more.
Quint shows up and it's not Michael Tylo. I knew Josh Taylor had played him briefly, but I had never seen him as Quint before. I was not impressed. He's just all wrong for the role, I'm not surprised he didn't last long. I could have accepted him as a recast Tony, but not Quint.
Then at the end Meta arrives for the first time. For some reason, they have her behave like an idiot, erroneously assuming everyone she sees is either Michelle or Rick. Not a nice thing to do to Mary Stuart. I've never understood this way of introducing characters. She could have just said, "Hi, I'm Meta, who are you?" And that would have been fine!

And most of them are subpar. I don't buy Martin being in politics.. he just comes off as elitist and not for the people (his opponent should have been a grassroots candidate that would call him out on his privilege), Naomi also is subpar as an attorney.. too emotional, I don't buy that Chelsea was some sought after model nor an influencer people would want to watch.
Kat, on the other hand, did seem to have a grasp on technology, is analytical, has good instincts, and could excel at any job she wanted to do... and I'd love if she went out and didn't rely on the Dupree name.

Y&R: Jamey Giddens & Dan O'Connor named co-head writers

I hope we get an interview previewing what to expect. I feel like that was something that was always done but in recent years we don't always get that. Hell, we don't even get regular updates from HWs like we did in the past.

Well, that's a stupid way to name (or nickname) a kid. She didn't have that concern when naming the kid? It's not she hadn't been been married to Alan Michael or anything. RME.

Definitely not a sucess just because of Chelsea. The Dupree bankroll helps as well. Having a great idea is one thing. Having the money or backing to get it off the ground is another. It has also been shown that Kat is the business side of things at ChelseaKat, so she does seem to have some know how. She also was running office at Ted's clinic, so she is definitely smart girl.
That is why I agree with @Paul Raven in the sense that we never got to know what Kat's ambitions were before the bag. All the young Duprees are all career minded and have well established careers at their young ages. Naomi is an attorney with her own practice (that we never see), Chelsea is a retired model that is an influencer and now entrepreneur, and Martin is a politician that is running for senate. It is odd that all we know about Kat is that she worked at her father's office as a manager/scheduler of sorts. You would think that Ted and Nicold would have expected more. Did she go to school? Was fashion always in the cards? Was Ted okay with his daughter just being the secretary?

Y&R: Jamey Giddens & Dan O'Connor named co-head writers

Nothing yet -- am guessing sometime between late October and November. Tricia Cast was on set July 9 for her scenes that aired August 20, so that should give some idea of the timeframe we're on right now. So, if they began writing the week of August 3, then I suspect it is going to be more towards November-ish when we are going to see their material.
