    Didn't Ridge 'die' in a fire pit or something in 90s? I wasn't watching B&B at the time but I kinda remember visiting my mom and seeing Brooke in jungle wear - wait for it - crying. I just rolled my eyes and moved to next room - maybe it's a false memory.

     

    He did, in 2003, during that year's awful Sheila return. It led to the even worse 'twist' of Brooke having grief sex with Nick, getting pregnant, and then finding out Ridge didn't burn alive.

    Frankly, I think SC could handle the transition toward meatier, more age-appropriate material.  She's no Beverlee McKinsey, but under the right circumstances, she could hold her own.

     

    It's JM who's the real issue.  Five years from now, if/when Y&R is still on the air, we'll STILL be watching his Nick hump twenty-somethings on barroom floors, because the frat boy just isn't mature enough to handle anything more substantive.

     

    That too.

     

    SC could, without a doubt, handle her own. She's been doing so with really crappy material for 15 years.

     

    JM could even rise to the occasion if he wasn't lazy.

     

    But the problem with creating good 20 year old characters and writing them well remains.

    I'd have to disagree about Desperate Housewives, because the 5 year jump aged up Lynette's children (thus providing storyline they wouldn't have had in their junior high years), it gave Gabi two young children (without going through pregnancy/early years)  that weren't cookie-cutter princesses, plus it gave us a new mystery about the car crash (Susan & Mike) that took the lives of that one dude's kids (the guy who married Edie).  Even after the murder mystery, it allowed storylines to develop for all the housewives' now-grown kids for the remaining 4 seasons. 

     

    Yep. It did open up a lot of new avenues (even if it also somewhat killed momentum and the show struggled initially to 'restart' itself and find its footing).

    Yeah, what was the point of that story? Did Linda Evans want to play an antagonist for once?

    I wish I knew, lol.

     

    I think it was pretty clear the showrunners no longer understood or even liked Krystle. Following the steep decline in quality starting in Season 3, one of the characters to suffer the most was Krystle. I'm pretty sure Esther referred to her as "boring" at some point. Rita, therefore, was a great opportunity to have Linda Evans but make her "interesting" versus a boring housewife.

  5. There was a little potential there if he'd been shady/villainous and I never had an issue with his looks.... but Cane the Merciful Hero That D!cks Lily Down was not, is not, and will NEVER be it.

    Straight up arrogance and he got what he deserved.  I like DG but...oh well. 

     

    Yeah, I honestly don't have any major issues with DG (he's not a master thespian but is serviceable) and, under the right circumstances, they could've made something of him. But I'll never accept him thumbing his nose at BM/Traci and, yes, he got what he deserved for it.
