Oh yeah, and Maria needs to give Phyllis her tits back, so she can be the gray character she's supposed to be.

No way in hell is Phyllis suppose to be Y&R's happy homemaker...

WORD!

The only glimpse of that old Phyllis we got was when she tried to enlist Brad's help against Sharon. But, she became Miss Giggle again after that.

Victoria Rowell needs to return so does Davetta Sherwood as Lily.

Re-establish the Winters!!!

I don't think revamping the show is the answer, and they probably won't do that. They need to tweak things here and there, mostly in the characterization department. Definitely have Phyllis grow a set again. The giggly homemaker shtick is REALLY wearing thin. Jack needs to be redefined too. They need to reestablish his gray side as well, and it looks like they might be doing it with this Alistair thing. I actually like him with Sharon (and Sharon Case is such an underrated actress IMO), but they are a bit too sickeningly sweet at times. Also, Gloria needs to be toned down.

Also, I don't care what rabid fans they have, but please BREAK NICK AND PHYLLIS UP. UGH, they're so boring and the whole basis of their relationship is sex and video games. Though I don't necessarily want Jack and Phyllis back together, their relationship was so complex and there was so many layers to it, Peter Bergman and Michelle Stafford brought out the best in one another.

Complete and total WORD!

^^^I agree Y&RWorldTurner, and I'm a Phick fan. They've just become so boring lately. I'd like to see them try Phyllis with Brad, DD and MS have mad hate chemistry! Plus Brad could use a new story. I'd also like to see a new opening or for this one to be updated with new shots, they still have that shot of Nikki when she had the Rod Stewart hair style.

I liked Phyllis and Jack well enough, but I don't think they'd be the same if they ever got back together, too much has happened. They work best as friends now IMO.

Phyllis needs someone new though. I am LOVING Jack & Sharon though. Peter and Sharon(Case) are great together IMO

Jack and Phyllis forever. Phyllis isn't Phyllis with Nick.

They seem to be building story for Phyllis and Nick. I don't mind them being backburned and a little boring right now if it means adding some relationship layers and building up to something--which I think they are with Adam's fasination. But I agree with everyone else in that Phyllis needs her edge back. Thing is, she has had an edge with him before but it seemed to evaporate once LML took over and married them off. I wonder if it's an acting choice on Michelle's part to keep her subdued. I'm not interested in Phyllis back with Jack. I'm really glad that ship seems to have sailed. Same with Sharon and Nick. Let's move on to ...

It's time for Nick, Phyllis, Jack, and Sharon to spread out and stop being in one another's universes.

There's no layers to Nick and Phyllis's relationship PERIOD. She had a complex relationship with Jack that was riveting to watch. It's only sex on the couch and video games with Nick, which is something I don't care to see almost every time they're in a scene together.

A little boring right now? Nick and Phyllis have been boring ever since the affair ended and they became a legitimate couple. What made them interesting was their forbidden affair and sexual chemistry. Now, all of the forbidden-ness is GONE and they're not interesting anymore. As I said before, no layers to this relationship whatsoever, that's why I don't care, and I did care when Phyllis was happy and in love with Jack, so it's not a question of marital bliss making them bland.

So pretty much LML took away everything from everyone that made thme who they were. However a few characters stand out that need to get back to the basics.

Brad Carlton. No Don Diamont is not the best actor in the world, However is is good, and brad has such a history with Y&R that i dont want him gone like some others. They need to reinvest in him and get him back to being Brad. I think him walking away from all the compaies he was been bitch at for all these years would be great. In fact i would love it if Brad & Niel started a new company. Both men are always overlooked at the companys inf avour of family.

Lauren Fenmore. True, she lost her fire and passion before LML took over, however LML seemed to take it all away. before we would see a gimplse there and it would come out sometimes. I do love her & Michael together, and do not want them broken up, but with Y&R so focused on buisness aspects why isnt Lauren more involved? She is a pretty high player in the world of genoa City.

Jill. All she needs is a damn storyline! Same for kay. I think it would be great ti bring Nina back and exposed Can as a fraud. But not before Cane & Jill really bond and become close. the betryal, the heartbreak, the hurt. What a great storyline.

The little touches are needed as well. The random scenes with Gina or Mary. Those minor supporting./recurring people that have been on Y&R forever. It makes the show seem more real.

That opening needs a major update.

and certin people need to be recasted. Collen & Lily are the shows young heroine's, but does anyone root for them? feel for them? Y&R had it soo right with DS & AL in the roles, and something needs to be done.

It also needs that mix of comedy and drama.

All in all, it is already getting there and i can say i cant wait to see what happens next..

I think they have room for everbody. But they need to get rid of the weakest link CK & TS. Who really care that CKLily is a model she'll never be a modle like how VRDru was.

I love to see Nina back or bring back Mac see if Cane would hide that he's related to her.

I hope Michael get the storyline back where he was trying to find out who his real father is.

You right Brad does have his good points.

I'm just so excited that LML is gone. I knew she was going ot be a hack when she got rid of talented young actress. Who are willing to improve.

Jack/Diane > Jack/Phyllis

Keep Jack, Sharon, Nick and Phyllis in business together. Love Jack and Sharon. Bring Heather Tom back as Victoria. Victor/Sabrina looks interesting but something about the actress playing Sabrina is not working.

Get rid of Amber and Jana.

I really would like to see a Diane Jenkins return (in the form of Alex Donnelly)

The USA episode of Y&R tomorrow looks promising as far as Jill, Nikki and Katherine (who is decked out in 'blood' diamonds, take THAT LML). It appears Ms Arena Bell knows how Jill Abbott is meant to be! That being said, both Jill and Kay need storylines that are somewhat independent of each other. I don't think they need to be so attached at the hip. Jess Walton is hip, sexy and talented: give this woman something worthy of her talents! Jeanne Cooper could really mix with the younger crowd well, perhaps she could start hating David Chow, there are LOTS of options. I certainly would love to see Cane Is a Fraud come to fruition.

I feel for Doug Davidson, he really needs a story (paging Diane Jenkins!)...I would love to see Drucilla come back and blow Karen outta the water.

Time for Eyal Podell to be fired. Sorry but he's AWFUL and BORING. A total dud. Ditto Sabrina, she's like an adult film star, not working at all.

It's time for Nick, Phyllis, Jack, and Sharon to spread out and stop being in one another's universes.

I totally agree that the quad needs to be away from each other. To be fair, I can count on one hand how many times Phyllis and Nick have played video games. And as much as I like the sexiness of them, I'm glad we can say goodbye to the period of time, after the strike started, of nothing but sex on the couch. I like them. I am not a rabid fan but I do enjoy their easy chemistry and natural way between them. Yes, happy couples are boring couples, that is for sure. For me, post-amnesia Nick does not have the history with Phyllis that his prior incarnation had, I feel like we're starting over with them. I was more connected prior to the plane crash. I would like to see his memory come back so we could deal with one relationship and not two halfs of one. I'm pretty sure the new writers will continue to invest with them. I liked her with Jack, but grew tired of him screwing her over. In addition,the "drama" of Jack and Phyllis became too much for me. I know others like them. But I am glad the writers seem to be making Phyllis and Nick solid cause that means they're going to cause some trouble for them and that is when they shine.

Can't wait.
