1974mdp

For a show called The Young and the Restless, there has long been a distinct lack of "young." I think soaps work the best where there are characters of every generation in stories, but on this show, if I had to guess, I bet 60% of the cast is over 50. They couldn't even give Noah a love interest his age, but instead cast someone who played HIS MOM on another show. Make it make sense.

I really wish they would give Elizabeth something meaty to play that just being everyone's talk-to. I'm not really feeling it with her and Ric. To me, she's part of the heart of the show and deserves more.

I just cancelled Peacock and stopped watching DAYS a few weeks ago after many years. The show just became so boring, so many Dimeras, and I couldn't do one more "back from the dead" story. I used to see DAYS in the top 10 list on Peacock before, but that's been a long time ago.

Is the rumor true that ABC expressed interest in taking over the show after NBC cancelled it? I wonder if that had come true, where on their schedule would they have put it...mornings? I felt like by the end the show had gone a bit off the rails, but I was so sad to see it go off the air.

ITA. I skipped about two weeks, turned on the show, and saw that nothing had really happened.

I hope so, too! These increases are encouraging! I still think the show hasn't had it's big break out story yet, and for my taste, still moves a little slow. But, hopefully, this will be the year for it!

This story would work so much better if Jeremy WAS STAYING in Salem and became involved with Joy. Would have been an interesting four-some and conflict.

Great news for all the soaps! I'm glad GH has been doing so well. It's the most entertaining of the 5 to me right now, and the only one I watch daily.

It's interesting that the new way Nielsen is calculated, BTG seems to be up in total viewers but down in the demos.

Such a waste of a talented actor who easily fit right in and had great chemistry with a lot of the other characters. Not to mention...handsome. But, hey, I'm sure we'll get lots more Kristen, Leo, etc etc. :(

I started watching OLTL in 92 because of the Billy Douglas storyline which was very impactful to me at the time. I loved Michael Malone's first stint on the show. The second one was very so-so. Besides Agnes Nixon and maybe Malone, who do you believe were the best head writers for the show during its run?

I recently streamed the whole show and hadn't seen it since being a kid in the 80s. The stark change in tone in season 8 was jarring. The show became sooooo slow and boring. I found some of season 9 entertaining, especially the first 13 episodes, but it was like a whole different show by then.

Wild guess...they have a surprise child together.

But, I'm sure they'll write endless more episodes of Kristen, Leo, etc...

WTH???? The actor was the best addition to the show in YEARS. He had chemistry with everyone, handsome, fit in so well with the Hortons. I don't understand why this show cannot write for the Hortons. Since the new writing regime, there are some good "scenes" but not good "stories" if that makes sense. I had renewed Peacock because I wanted to see the anniversary and Xmas episodes, but I think I'm canceling again.
