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 I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.
