Very true.

Wow, Everyone has a right to their opinion. I like LML's version of Y&R. To me it's entertaining. Why is that disturbing? Different strokes for different folks

ITA.

We can sit and argue Y&R's current state all we want; but for whatever reason, it remains the top-rated soap, so it must be pleasing a lot of people.

It's not pleasing me, but no show operates solely for one viewer's benefit, now does it?

But it's not one viewer. Hopefully, something will be done soon, I don't want a situation like the one over at ATWT - they let the show slip from 2.8-2.7 to 2.1 in such a short period!

I agree, Sylph. Something should be done to arrest Y&R's shocking decline. (And when I say "something," I mean, "show Ms. Latham and her minions the door.") But will anything be done? Not until Y&R slips, and slips badly, in the ratings. And even then, there's no guarantee the changes will be to everyone's liking. As anyone who witnessed the decline and fall of ANOTHER WORLD, EDGE OF NIGHT, SANTA BARBARA, and about a half-dozen other (now-defunct) soaps can tell you, once a soap really starts to slide, it's almost impossible to stop it from sliding into oblivion.

I know exactly of what you speak, and you're right. Somehow, the only thing left in Pandora's box was hope and I just can't stop hoping something will be done.

Exactly...I don't hate LML. I happen to find Y&R pretty damn good right now.

So I think its unfair to say that its disturbing that someone would love the current writer of a show

I can't believe that some people love LML. It's disturbing, really.

I used to love LML on Y&R, not anymore. I still believe she's a very capable writer who's either become burnt out or lazy. Case in point: Knots Landing, Homefront, Y&R in 2006.

That's the fastest burning-out I witnessed.

Does TVG-C think Y&R is still the worst?

Yes, they still do.
