I know a lot of hard work goes into producing this show, but you’re right—there’s a pervasive feeling of laziness and halfassedness on Y&R (and B&B—which just recycles stunts). You get a sense of a creative team of writers, et al. who don’t care, which may not be the case, but it’s what comes across. It’s frustrating to watch a show and constantly be confronted with missed opportunities, both from the scripts and the stories.

Whoever is overseeing the CBS soaps should be fired… these Bell soaps are so awful and aimless when they’re not outright offensive. We know historically how the execs meddle and influence what we see on screen, even nitpicking lines of dialogue, so they also should be held accountable about the state of these shows. Whoever is reading these thrusts/scripts and is signing off on them needs to go. They’re beyond out of touch.

Brad threw him under the bus for the umpteenth time.

Bradley never learns. Dude needs to give it up and hand the writing reins to someone else. From his cold dead hands, I’m sure, but like Ken Corday, he’s desecrating his parents’ legacy. The show is unwatchable.
