I’d give Sally another miscarriage and write her off, honestly. I think Chelsea needs to go as well.

This doesn’t give me much hope if Jamey is saying the crap Griffith is setting up is good and is what they’re running with.

2 more months then.

Looks like Angel is going to be part of the initial lineup as well. From The Hollywood Reporter: ‘X-Men’ Movie: Asa Germann Nabs Role of Angel (Exclusive)

What newer characters though? Y&R is so reliant on its aging cast, and actually desperately needs some younger and newer characters to evolve. Last thing this show needs is 55+ year old nostalgia bait. Though, given the older demos, they may actually have a case, I guess.

Oh, look, another lazy ass and soulless montage.

Friction between him and Dan, or he doesn’t know how to share the responsibilities of the role?

This Anna stuff is some of the worst trash they’ve ever subjected Finola to and that says a lot.

There is nothing that screams classic, pre-80’s soap to me about how the stories are told, paced, and executed on this show. The assertion that viewers watching somehow can’t appreciate that type of storytelling is way off to me - this show has huge structural issues that go beyond a particular era of soap opera storytelling, and frankly, these issues have been simmering for a long time with little done to address them. The show mostly feels like a collection of repeated scenes rather than coherent storytelling right now. I know MVJ has had health issues with her back this year, so perhaps a lot of her attention has been elsewhere, but I also feel like they need to take some big swings and do a serious post mortem heading into season 3. What’s on right now is on par with how awful most of the rest of the other soaps are and isn’t cutting it.

As I’ve said, I think the show is pretty unwatchable right now and it feels like a half baked cake. It’s horribly plotted and the pacing and execution of the stories are horrendous. It’s so disappointing actually.

RIP. I will say his interim Co-HW period with Michael Conforti at GL was a noticeable improvement from Megan McTavish’s disastrous stint. They set many things in motion that made 1997 one of the better years GL had after the early 90’s renaissance. It was almost a night and day difference from Megan’s work actually (and Miller was a friend of Megan’s).

This show is so unwatchable to me right now. It’s like the flattest soda you’ll ever taste. It also feels like TPTB have a very low self awareness of the problems the show has.

It proved to me that Cady could actually be a hell of an actress and had a ton of range and versatility. She was visibly bored and unhappy by the end of that second stint at AMC - in fact, she looked so damn miserable the last 2 years or so of that stint. This also brings Genie Francis to mind - she has always desperately wanted to achieve a similar transformation, but was never convincingly able to.
