    So why do Y&R fans on social media want Sharon to have an illness-centered storyline when Y&R hasn't had a good disease-focused storyline in almost a quarter century?  Are folks this naive to be trusting JG to deliver when he hasn't delivered since...ever?

    If true, Peeps must not remember how JG wrote Sharon's last health story, clearly TPTB don't know what to do with Sharon Case as she is hardly on screen, js!

     

    I hearing on the DC podcast it was reported that Griffith aint going nowhere!  Kent is atanding with JG, so those supposed interviews might be for a CO HW!

    Yeah all of this sounds like the same 3 week nonstarters JG hasn't been able to get off the ground since he got here. 

     

    Its hilarious to me that they clearly have no idea what to do with Michelle Stafford. She might as well suck it up and ask them to pair Jack and Phyllis again

    JG is writing MSs Phyllis the same way they wrote GTs Phyllis in her last months before she got fired  I prefer this Phyllis than the boring way he wrote her the last time. Morina/Griffith never said they had big plans or wanted to do something different with MS/Phyllis, just that they wanted the OG back.  I don't want Phyllis to be the center of the, too much Phyllis not good IMHO. Could she be written better, yes, but so could a majority of the characters on the show!

     

    ETA 19 yrs ago, Phyllis returned, single and ready to mingle, then got thrown into the GBJ kids storyline, didn't find romance until almost a year into her return.

    Nineteen years ago when MS steamrolled back into GC as Jabot's newly hired webmaster and immediately mixed it in with her old friends and lovers Malcolm, Jack, and Michael. If MS had any clout she'd already be married to JM's Nick as we'd endure Phick part 17. Instead we have a 55-year old red haired cougar wannabe who is a sounding board. 

     

    MS is a single Mom of 2, I'm sure as long as she is getting paid de big bucks, she good, where is SC, AH, or MMs clout as JG clearly doesn't know what to do with them either!

    Lucia was the fourth (after George Reinholt, Jimmy Jontz, and Philip McHale).

     

    Jontz only appeared briefly after GR departed. TPTB said at the time that they wanted a "WOW!" actor to replace GR, but it quickly became apparent JJ was not it. PM was not particularly great either, alas, but CL was the worst by far. The show should have known better than to attempt replacing GR.

     

    Pat was kidnapped by the psycho Kyle (seen in this new clip talking to Ed), but as the Tonys came and went, and particularly after the character died, she did not get much story focus. Courtney had no chemistry with any of the replacement actors. Her best chemistry was with Tom Fuccello who played her husband Paul Kendall, but the show decided not to go there. She was tested with Michael Zaslow when he first arrived, and had great sparks, but ABC mysteriously decided to dump her and David was then paired with Jenny Vernon.

    You forgot Pats relationship with the Buchanan Bros respectively, and her crazy twin sister Maggie!  Also for a short time Dorian and Pat were rivals over Clint!

    lol. That is a nice picture of BM/Traci.

     

     

    That's an interesting point made about DG/Cane not seeming to get a going away party. Gina Tognoni got one and it looked like Jason Canela/Arturo did too. Now granted I think that Jason's was thrown by the other members of the Rosales family on Y&R, but at least someone cared enough to give him one, lol. DG/Cane been on the show over a decade. I wonder if maybe he did get one, but I don't know. A lot of the people he was close to/interacted with the most are no longer on the show.

    You can rest assure if there was a goodbye party, DG would've posted, he is still posting Lane stuff , and messages from Laners on IG lol

    As foolish as DG was in the entire l'affaire with Traci Abbott/Beth Maitland, I'm finding a bit hard to believe that he would refuse to do something considering he'd be burning a bridge on his way out, especially with the daytime drama universe being as small as it now is, that would all but insure that nobody on any other daytime soap (and probably more than a few nighttime ones, as word would get around fast) would want to work with him.  DG spent most of his time on Y&R being ridiculously ingratiating, so he'd really have to be a fool or wanting to tank his career by being non-compliant when it comes to his work. 

     

    Also, is this fool actually trying to invoke KSJ??  Kristoff was an award-winning actor who was on that show for damn near 30 years.  Neil Winters was created by William J. Bell himself. Mamie, Neil, Dru and Olivia were the roots of an entire core family.  And toward the end of his run, and his life, KSJ/Neil had a lot less storyline than DG, whose "Cane" TPTB gave every opportunity to keep viable and the actor threw those chances away.  It wasn't just Traci/BM, it was also Victoria/AH that Cane had a chance to build a romantic pairing with. "Neil" never got a full chance at a full-fledged relationship with Victoria out of fear for racist backlash.

     

    Never has DG gone through half of the sh*t that KSJ had endured over the course of his Y&R career and he sure as hell didn't make even half the impact that KSJ made.

     

    How dare he! :jeal0002:  Now I despise DG's fans even more for building him up with a head full of steam.

    I don't know, maybe he is that stupid!

    Say what now 😮.   TWICE , he publically snubbed TPTB and tanked two expected pairings and with great arrogance, thought he would continue onward, bridges already burned.  He quietly sat by and watched his mobilized Laners bash BM  Kinds explains why we  so far aint heard ish from his co stars or seen pics of a goodbye party!

    OLTL was killin' it for awhile in '87.

    I think that was due to the Max/Tina/Cord/Kate sl and the remotes

    ATWT had some great stuff.....Lily finding out Iva was her mother and not Lucinda and that Josh was her father and he had raped Iva. Craig was missing. Margo and Hal slept together creating Adam. Meg and Tonio got married. 

     

    I think at this time Gregg Marx had left as Tom and Scott Holmes was about to make his debut as Tom.

     

    B&B and GL were stinking up the place in June and most of July. B&B even dropped to 9th and was beaten by AW

    Jason Kincaid came before Holmes as Tom
