Turns out - Y&R's biggest advantage becomes a fatal flaw - all the same character all over again in the same old cr*ppy stories. And the new characters they introduce suck big time.

Overheard at the Emmys: CBS Prez of Daytime Barbara Bloom has been trying to talk her old pal Julie Hanan Carruthers into taking the Executive Producer job at "Y&R".

GOD PLEASE NO!!!!!!

Out of all the talented producers Bloom had worked with at ABC, she wants vision-less Carruthers?

Y&R needs a good EP, like Julie's former boss at GH, Wendy Riche. Please, Bloom if you're reading this, get someone with actual talent, like Riche!

I guess the important thing is that they've realized that Y&R needs a new EP BADLY...

Seriously, this lady doesnt know what Y&R needs to get back to where it once was. Bloom needs to be fired pronto!!

Seriously...

Y&R is losing viewers rapidly and Julie's AMC has had several trips to last place in the ratings race, and that's who Bloom wants to hire? WTF?

Bloom needs to go, like yesterday...

Choking. Has anyone looked at AMC these days?

Rain1, it's been killing me: Who IS that in your avatar? She's beautiful.

Nooooooooooo! Not JHC! AMC has fallen apart under her reign, what a joke Babs is. Think Babs! So many other terrific EP's out there like FMB, ES, WR....Not Julie "can't produce" Carruthers!

Oy vey!

I say leave well enough alone. There is nothing to be done, but ride out the Bell/Sheffer reign and hope for the best. When I said that LML just needed tweaking, there was outraged post after outraged post that I didn't think that she was the soap devil incarnate. Now look what we have got in the ratings. See, it can always get worse. The soap audience is declining, maybe Bell and Sheffer can work together to delay the inevitable for awhile.
