Y&R: Why is JT still here?

We have Smith to blame for the constant J.T. pimping that goes on in Genoa City today. Smith had to turn J.T. into this supposed good guy, when we all know that's not J.T. Helstrom. They're trying to make him into Paul Williams: Version 2. I'm sick of it. Give J.T. his edge back or ship him out. Pair him with Victoria too!

Anybody else hate this guy? :blink:

This thread is SO made for me! :lol:

The boring dullbone of Jeffrey Todd is definitely wasted air(time). Remember the dozen of interesting ladies this crappy character was paired with over the years? I had to stop counting...

I also hate that TPTB try to make him the new Paul - whereas I just want to see the real Paul and some lame excuse of it!?

Add Thad Luckinbill - who may have his fans - but for me is just bland and you get best chances for ultimate hatred against this certain soap opera character.

EDIT: It seems Cat already beat me. Great minds think alike. Totally have to co-sign!

LOL, sheilaforever, I know we've discussed this before. Cannot stand him!

Does JT stand for "beige" in BlandLanguage? :blink:

OMG, DruRocks, thank you.

I have been wondering for years now what this whitewashed, propped-up, insipid bore of a character is still doing on my TV screen. I can only imagine that the answer lies somewhere in his ability to remove his shirt and look cute on cue.

Why else would they keep a character with absolutely no familial ties to anybody else on the show?

Why else would they keep firing actors like David Lago in order to make way for more SL for JT?

TPTB are unable to elicit any kind of chemistry from him. This failure to pair JT up has led Y&R to dump real talent like Alexis Thorpe, Mitzi Kapture, Lindsay Fonseca, Ashley Bashioum, Rachel McKinsey and Lauren Woodland. Could Adrianne Leon be next?

Dull actor, dull character. Perhaps he'll shine on Nip/Tuck or a totally different part on Primetime. But as far as Y&R is concerned, I'm tired of the incessant propping and the number of characters who have been sacrificed at the altar of JT. Cut him loose, I say.

JT was much better as the man whore who wanted Mac and conspired with Brittany.

Now, he's boring and a bad protege to Paul.

He's not actually still there. He's just a prop that's made to look like Thad Luckinbill. yes, ladies and gents, Adrianne Leon just had a love scene with a prop.

It's funny that TL was brought on just for a few days to cause Billy trouble -- back in the day. It's interesting how he outlasted everyone -- Billy, Mac (all three of them), Rhinna (both of them), Brittany (both of them), Colleen, Raul, etc. JT just needs his edge back. Thought we were getting it when he was paired with Victoria. I wouldn't be surprised if JT and Vicky end up at a bar again when Geo-rad starts "conforting" Sharon.
