Y&R 50th Anniversary - your ideas...
- Bold 2023 previews
If those characters tied to the legacy families don't include Diana Carter, Mary Warwick, RJ Forrester, Felicia Forrester, Dino Damiano, Eric Sharpe, or Rick Forrester, then Brad can keep it. I do hope they use Li more, as well as Jack Finnegan, who should mix it up romantically with either Brooke or Taylor. I also wouldn't mind Ian Buchanan doing a stint as James, if possible. I also hope some of the new characters have their own rival fashion house, so perhaps Thomas can work there. Brad's lack of attention span doesn't give me confidence in Carter and Katie's slow burn. I wish Spencer Publications could play more of a part on the show for that reason. It's also the reason why I wish Paris would've been a cub journalist who came to work there and was mentored by Bill as well as befriended Liam and Wyatt too.- Y&R 50th Anniversary - your ideas...
I wouldn't mind a Jabot anniversary that brings together the Abbotts, Jill, etc., for a gala that ends up with Jeremy aiming to shoot Diane, but instead Kyle or Jack gets shot in the crossfire, causing Ashley, Nikki, and Phyllis to feel guilty about bringing this man to town in the first place. And Diane goes off on each one of them, promising that if anything happens to Jack or Kyle, they will answer to her. I know it would never happen, but I wouldn't mind a primetime episode leading up to next year's Daytime Emmy; perhaps CBS/Sony gives them some bucks to make the show look better. Perhaps a look-back documentary with past and present stars including Janice Lynde, Jamie Lyn Bauer, John McCook, Eric Braeden, Peter Bergman, Jess Walton, Victoria Rowell (yeah, I know), Shemar Moore, Heather Tom, Susan Walters, Michelle Stafford, Bryton James, etc., counting down 50 moments from the show's 50 years.- Y&R December 2022 Discussion Thread
Hopefully Christine follows Danny and/or Daniel. I doubt she would ever follow Phyllis on social media. I love all the glares Danny gave Phyllis every time she opened her mouth. I wonder if they are going to say that Paul and Christine separated or divorced off-screen. We didn't need those Billy and Chelsea scenes, as once again he tries to do his best Deepak Chopra on her.- German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ
Are you glad to see Jenny back full time? How do you feel about them possibly killing of Corinna?- Y&R December 2022 Discussion Thread
Oh, I thought they were going to do it during the Pandemic too 🤣 They already had rerun Lauren and Michael's wedding so many times in the last fifteen years. They should've re-aired a Christmas episode from at least 2004 or prior but at least it isn't an episode from 2020.- General Hospital: December 2022 Discussion Thread
Rory was, in my opinion, a character who had no real development. He was just created to be a third party, and that was mainly on TPTB. I thought they were going to reveal that somehow, he was related to Selina Wu, and the reason why he became a cop was because he was against the family's criminal organization. But his death isn't really much of a loss. If anything, Diane should've been killed off. I'm hoping Spencer and Trina will be dating by the spring of next year. It's beyond time, and I can't see Nicholas Chavez signing on after his contract expires in 2024.- Y&R December 2022 Discussion Thread
I think Wendy Riche would make a good EP at YR too. Though I'm not sure if she would want to put up with Sony while trying to give us a better show, both creatively and aesthetically. Nonetheless, it wouldn't hurt to test those waters if possible. I just don't want to see Josh Griffith as both an EP and the head writer. We already know the history of this show when it comes to giving head writers "full power." Hopefully, Josh will be the next to go after his contract expires, and they will try to find someone who can at least tell a decently long story for the characters. He can go back to writing his novels. Maybe they promote Amanda Beall, Sara Bibel, or Natalie Minardi Slater, though I doubt any of them want the job at this point.- Y&R: Anthony Morina OUT as EP!
I know Mal Young was not my favorite, i.e., "that gift for Mishael Morgan," but I think he did have a point when he got rid of Chelsea, Kevin, and Chloe. I would have Chelsea and Johnny start to bond, and then perhaps she dies in a plane crash. And Kevin, Chloe, and those kids of theirs can move to Silicon Valley.- Y&R: Anthony Morina OUT as EP!
I think it's past that point currently. I think it's been starting to go that way for the last few years now. Even Days has better-looking sets than this show. I kind of wish they would just transform that hotel set into an apartment set. And don't get me started on Noah's tacky-looking business that seems to be more of a supper club than an actual nightclub. When COVID occurred and we saw how sparse the sets were, their cost-effective measures became more apparent to the viewers. In a way, it would be more effective to have characters such as Noah, Abby, etc., work at their family companies if they want to save money on sets.- Y&R: Anthony Morina OUT as EP!
I hope this is only temporary in regard to Josh being the head writer and EP, because this show acts as if it didn't learn its lesson the other times, they had HW's also be EPs. It usually doesn't work out well for them in the long run. I'm curious about them having actual plans for the 50th next year. And not just bring on Janice Lynde's Leslie Brooks to play piano with no lines or get Meg Bennett for a pointless cameo as Julia.- Y&R: Old Articles

Or as I say on Twitter the show has made Sharon the new "Aunt Ruby" from GH dispensing advice to everyone over coffee. I could envision Sharon somehow getting a letter or a DM on her social media from her father stating he's dying and wants to see her one last time before he goes. Sharon can first consider whether she should go see the man who abandoned her and her mother for years. Noah may be more opposed to her leaving, whereas Mariah may be more in favor of her leaving. Ultimately, Sharon decides to go visit him in Arizona and finds out that she has a half-brother from her father's other marriage who is a bit of drifter. But Sharon offers a place to stay if he ever comes to Genoa City which he does. Yet the half-brother's intentions might not be as sincere.- Y&R: Old Articles

I know time is money especially on these sets these days, but someone should've pulled Michelle to the side and be like "I need more from you than to giggle and look unbothered."- Characters that should've been recast
From Soapcentral Actor History Beth Ehlers (Originated role; September 1987 to September 28, 1993; January 21 to January 30, 1997; May 29, 1997 to June 23, 2008) Amy Carlson (filled in November 9th through 12, 1998) Hayley Sparks (filled in during Ehlers' maternity leaves; May 5, to July 30, 1999; July 18 to August 3, 2001; August 25 and 26, 2002) They should've SORAS both Zach and Jude since Leah who was born years after them was now a teenage while those kids were still in elementary school made no sense. They could've had Zach and Jude stay with Buzz and built them up with the teen scene until they found a recast for Harley.- Characters that should've been recast

Everytime they show that set I say the same thing on Twitter. I don't buy this look for any nightclub AT ALL!!!- Y&R: Former OLTL actor joins the show
Yes And vice versa you can tell when he's not into the story because he starts looking bored in scenes too.- Since It's Also Done...Grade November Sweeps 2022!!!!
I probably give explanation later when I feel like it but as it stands. DAYS - D GH - C+ Bold and Beautiful: F+ YR: C-- Soap Endgame Couples
ATWT Jack and Carly John and Lucinda Holden and Lily (Martha Byrne) Bob and Kim Dusty and Janet (Dusty finally got the family he always wanted) Should've been Lisa and Grant and perhaps Emma and Cal too if TPTB cared enough.

Two episodes that I assume from close to the end of Generations from 1991. - Bold 2023 previews
