I do agree that it's unsustainable to focus almost exclusively on one family but other than the occasional 2-3 episodes cameo, I wouldn't want characters imported from other soaps. I'm okay with the occasional crossover (it lends interest) but after a few episodes, I suspect, it would become ordinary and possibly stale. Mona, Laura, Anatasia and Chessie, June, the other Hawthorne brother, even Deanna and Donnell...there is storyline to be created for these characters and skilled writers can do this.
Even though Mishael Morgan did snag that Emmy at Y&R, Hilary Curtis was mostly wasted on Y&R and to me, Amanda just doesn't match up. I think, ultimately Hailey would be wasted, possibly even worse at Y&R, especially under Josh Griffith's pen.
Having these stories featuring an event is great but ideally, the event should kick off other storylines and I hope that is what happens here and I hope they branch out. I am hoping that we get to see what, if anything happened at Orphey Gene's because there is a group of other characters there that could be made interesting.
