The problem is the pairings.

Lily - Cane = blah

Colleen - Daniel = blah

supercouple Heather - Adam, ruined by his NOT CARING that she is sick and overworked = blah

Nikki, after being manhandled and kicked in the teeth by Victor, down in Mexico pining over him = blah

Lily, showing no emotion as she counsels Ana on the lie of her maternity = blah

Cane as CEO = blah

The only things that interest me are Jack-Gloria plotting against Jill, with a Brad tie in (high interest, for me); Phyllis and Nick doing some dirt to Jack and Sharon (moderate interest, for me); Amber and Daniel still in each other's orbit (high interest, for me); Kevin and Jana in anything together (high interest, for me)...and that is about it.

I like the idea of Victor's revenge...but that seems to be happening quickly and off canvas, and seems to be leading to a more reheated story for Victor and Nikki...and that is not good.

IA with all of this (but Adam's reaction to Heather's sickness I haven't seen, but definitely don't like it). Heather and Adam, judging from what I've seen on this forum, are a popular couple. I love them together. :wub: I have no problem with the writers giving Adam a 'tude, but Heather should be the one person he's vulnerable with. They shouldn't [!@#$%^&*] with that.

Lane and Dollen - can't stand 'em. Nikki shouldn't be pining over Victor just yet - the last thing he said to her was that she should be in the morgue instead of Sabrina! Victor's revenge story should be something we see onscreen.

Lily as played by CK is useless.

Correct, and good point.

But if his girlfriend is in hospital with serious anemia...shouldn't he be there with her?

And if just learned his daddy died, shouldn't he be teary...not taking over?

I don't know...I wanted them to make this guy likeable, but I know that is not in the cards. He is Victor Newman Jr., dammit!

If Janice Ferri Esser's return to Y&R is a sign they're hiring old Bell proteges again, then I'm all for it.

I think Maria and Hogan need more people who understand classic Y&R and the old Bell structure. That's why it's imperative that someone like David Shaughnessy comes back as EP, to oversee their material (not rewrite it!) and guide them in the right direction. However, if someone decides that Bell and Sheffer need to go and they're replaced by one or two Bell proteges, then I'd feel comfortable with that too.

Where is the old structure right now? I certainly don't see it. :huh:

It offers a sense of familiarity with Y&R viewers, it would have the "feel" viewers were accustomed to for so many years, even if the overall writing was bad. The show has been a little too hokey over the past two years.

Viewers don't like sudden change, it has to be gradual. However, all we've been getting is sudden changes over the past two years.

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
