Sapounopera

Josh Griffith loves his B&B crossovers. I never understood why Eric and Felicia Forrester had to show up in Genoa City, or Courtney Hope had to portray a B&B character on Y&R. It will probably be a Forrester-Marchesa fashion show (JG prefers fashion to cosmetics drama) with some Sheila drama.

This sounds so exciting!

Please don't make TSJ Victor and Ashley's aborted baby.

So I guess Avery, Sage, Austin and Trevor are coming back.

Didn't he also bring Chelsea back? Y&R really needs a new headwriter.

What a horrible character to bring back, but you are probably right. He was never needed, he was just created as a vehicle for Steve Burton. Isn't Chance the town cop these days? Josh Griffith will do the wrong thing again .

I agree with everything you said. I guess it is the tone change that really bothered me. The Keith/Jonathan story and Dolly's daughter drama was a little bit too much. Roger, Original Ann, Doug, Merrill, Lily were all gone too soon. However I understand that Ava, Shana, Dane, Gwyneth and Trisha helped the show "wake up".

CM seems like a great guy, but he is such a boring soap actor.

The show had changed so much from its premiere and it had only been two years. TPTB should have tried to work a little longer with the original material.

They were crazy to write out Hope. There was so much story to tell. But she didn't fit in the loud and trashy GUIDING TEXAS era of the show.

Ed Bauer kind of got it during the Marland days. The scene where Kelly Nelson moves out of his house, was written and directed as break up scene. Both men were crying.

I think that the real problem with MC is that the actor who portrays his son looks more like a Prince Nicolas than he does. Another problem is that I don't buy him as Spencer's father at all. Spencer's arrival has weakened Nicolas.

What was the point of the Audrey North character? They hired Constance Towers for... that? Did something happen backstage?

I like the actress a lot, she is the only reason Britta has stayed with GH for so long. In a parallel soap universe, she would make a great Colleen on Y&R.

TPTB should be building the show around MM instead of playing tired Newman wars scenarios or treating their middle-aged characters like passionate 25-year-old people.

The Sheila joke has gone way too far.

It is crazy that Quinn lasted almost ten years. What is the character's legacy? At this point Brad Bell is too bored to create new characters.

At this point (some of) the Newmans could use a rest on Y&R. They have been going through the same stories forever. Nick and his boring ladies drama, Victoria and Sharon getting married all the time, Adam is so bad, Abby and Noah haven't even found a real purpose in all these years.

No to Giddens, being a soap fan is not good enough for a show in danger. He doesn't even how to name characters, people on Ambitions had names like Jeffersona Williamsen McAlistair. He will be like a cheap version of RC.

Please, no Dylan. The character was a stupid mistake created as a vehicle for Steve Burton. This is not the way to celebrate Y&R's rich history. I'd rather see TSJ (whom I like a lot) as Brooks Prentiss, or as a brand new character (who will not marry Sharon and/or Victoria and vanish within a year).

I will say the same thing I say everytime a name actor joins the show: BROOKS PRENTISS!!! (When it is a name actress, I say Jennifer Foster like all normal people)

ALL STARS 2 I loved this season! Dorinda is such a mess. This is what early 70s Kay Chancellor must have been like. Such a mean, classless drunk. Men with money married that thing? Wow. She really belongs in the gutter (next to Marlo). I can't believe I am saying this, but I liked Brandi. After years of hating her for the way she acted with LVP. If I didn't know Phaedra from RHOA I would have liked her newly invented persona a lot. Production made sure everyone who watched All Stars knew who she really was in the last episode.

70s soap opera episodes have aged so well! I wish that era's OLTL was available. I find it far more interesting than the Buchanan 80s.

I would be shocked if Y&R doesn't get a new EP and HW (one can only hope with some minor changes / the Athletic Club is mentioned again / Diane's return / Imani gets some story / among others ) Days needs a new EP more than it needs a new HW.

Poor Drew is so desperate. And a horrible actress as well, she is all wrong for reality tv. Unless she is caught off guard, like with the gay rumors. She tried to have a Love & Hip Hop moment with She, but she failed. The other ladies gently reminded her that at this point she only gets to play the loser's role in the group. Atlanta is fun for now, reminds me of early seasons and NY.
