It's gotten really quiet.

When is Jess Walton's next visit? Because Jill's presence is sorely missed in SO many stories.

That's insane.

The problem is that DG is ALWAYS allowing his personal feelings to affect his onscreen work. Not ONCE from the time since this whole Juliet debacle happened did I EVER believe Cane was even SLIGHTLY remorseful about his actions. The character (and the actor) are CONSTANTLY blaming everyone & everything else for their current predicament except themselves AND Y&R TOTALLY ALLOWS IT TO HAPPEN. Like Greg Rikaart & Kevin Goddard should've NEVER stayed beyond six months. I agree Y&R needs a new playboy but it would be MUCH better to have a new(er) character fill that role with a character that has SO much baggage played by an actor who is always focused on an agenda.

CANE MUST DIE.

Two weeks is two too many.

CLEAR SPRINGS

Jack and Hilary being friends is fine. Hilary and Phyllis would never be friends (for several reasons). If anything Jill, Lauren and/or Nina should be in mentorship roles to Hilary but that would mean Y&R focusing on character based writing and investing in women over 40 who aren't MTS, Eileen Davidson or Sharon Case.

Y&R has completely dropped Lauren from everything. She is Billy's aunt, Scotty's Mom, Ashley & Jack's business partner, Phyllis boss, Lily & Chloe's friend, Paul's ex, yet Y&R has backburnered her (again).

Although ITA that Daniel Hall is lackluster, Jude Law could currently be playing Scott and the character would still be a failure because Y&R never had a clear idea of who the character was before recasting him. Hilary and Phyllis should never be friends.

LOL By the time Mal's work begins Zack will own Genoa City in exchange for Crystal and a handful of magic beans. Zack doesn't have to leave. Y&R has kept Cane & Kevin around for decades and they're both every bit as bad as Zack. That would mean Y&R making any and/or all of the characters involved in that story worth rooting for. And between Lily's/CK's SECOND fauxmance with an actor of color, Daniel Goddard's (and Cane's) constant whining and LA receiving less airtime now than she did before Juliet got pregnant it's not gonna happen.

Both. But the mid 90's-early 2000s was his absolute worst.

+1. The best thing about the last six months is Dina's return and the majority of that is due to Marla Addams.

That was a big part of it. He was also very ageist toward Y&R's actresses which is why there was so many unnecessary casting decisions during the latter part of his run.
