Yes, Thomas is right! I am team Thomas all the way.

This is the main reason I stopped watching Y&R. If they had to dumb down Jack this bad to do this rerun for the third time, I just couldn't sit through again. I think that Jack is regressed back to some kind of drooling idiot who sits on street corners counting cars as they pass by. They are writing him like he is in some kind of hypnotic coma. Why did they have to do this to bring back this character? We have seen this rerun twice before and it seems that Jack never learns anything from his mistakes. The man is a complete idiot. I am done with the show. There really isn't anything goin on that I care to watch. I have watched this show since day one and I guess I am just worn out watching the string of writers who keep passing through and chipping away at what used to be a very well written show. To rerun Diane Jenkins and bring her back with no questions asked is some of the dumbest writing I have seen on this show in a while. Tearing apart Nick and Phyllis to bring her into a story where she is abused by Jack is even more ludicrous. Why did they have to have Nick beat her up only to turn around and have Jack beat her up when he professed that he loved her? To much abuse for me. I am not a Diane Jenkins fan and I am not sitting through round three with that viper on the show while Phyllis keeps getting threats from her daughter and is abused by Jack. It is too stupid to watch. I get the feeling that the writers are doing this to her because they are appeasing the Sharon and Sally fans who come to these boards everyday spewing their horrible hatred for Phyllis. Just how long are they going to continue this? For as long as I have been watching this show, I have never understood the way the writers cater more to the fans that hate than the ones who actually come to enjoy the show. Many of my friends left when they brought Diane back from the dead. I was the only hold out but I am done now too. I have had enough.

I am all for a change. I want to see Ridge back with Taylor. I am sick and tired of Brooke and Ridge. They are the most boring couple on daytime. I mean they are just done to death. It is time for a change and some real romance on this show. Taylor brings the energy and for once, Ridge looks like he is not sleepwalking for a change. I am loving the two of them and look forward to seeing more of it. Finally, B&B is getting back some of its old energy and glamour. There is nothing else for Ridge and Brooke. It think that Brooke should face her feelings for Deacon and reconcile with him. If he was good enough for her to break up her daughters marriage over and have his kid, he should be good enough for her to end up with. Deacon is her destiny, Ridge never was.

What kind of scandal? Do they uncover a scandal or what?

I am curious as to who he will play and what part he has on the show. I read speculation that he would be someone new for Sharon.

I still don't understand what backfires on Phyllis's plan because from I see Diane may be the one to strike first. Maybe that is it? Diane explodes when she finds out that Phyllis will be working at Marchetti and Jack sees the temperament he is used to seeing in Diane. So, Diane steps her seduction of Jack but I have to ask who is marking her territory now? Yea, and will Jack get as upset with her for using him as he did Phyllis???? Since Jack has been walking around in a hypnotic coma these days, he is walk off the cliff for keeping his head in the clouds when it comes to viper trying to seduce him. What is wrong with Jack and I am looking forward to the investigative reporter coming to join Nikki, Phyllis and Ashley in their quest to uncover what the viper is up to.
