The show is really dull right now. I'm hoping that HS makes it better, but it is slow. Personally I think Hogan has been disappointing in his last couple of shows and I think Y&R would be a good time to turn that around.

Victor and Sabrina are paint drying. I will admit I've come to enjoy Adam and I think he has excellent chemistry with Paul's daughter. But, I don't think they are doing a very good job of giving him any kind of identity. I also like the renewed friendship between Paul and Niki. I think Gloria was backed into a corner with the hand cream murder and nobody has figured a way to get her out of that corner. I also think the show should figure out some way to finally address the plane crash and the death of Jill's husband. It's just awkward right now.

I think Josh Griffith has some ability. He is not Ed Scott, but only Ed Scott is Ed Scott. I think Scott is the reason DOOL is so enjoyable right now. But I do think JG has some ability. I hope that HS is co-head writer because I like that the Bells are invested in the show. Right now, however, it is a big snooze.

ICAM.

They could always just ingore it. Since they redeemed Phyllis they have ignored all of her past crimes... ;)

According to MAB,

.

I think JG has done great things for the show (despite the ratings not reflecting that). I think he and MAB have been concentrating more on "cleaning up the mess" made by LML than on starting exciting new storylines (well, apart from the riveting Victor/Sabrina romance :rolleyes:). Also, I didn't think Ed Scott was that great. (I just know I'm going to get burned at the stake for that one.)

^No reason in particular. I just didn't think his work on Y&R was that special.

There's also the fact that he was AL's biggest cheerleader, and I just know that if he ever returned to Y&R, the first thing he would do would be to restore her and fire TS.

Oh, so once again it's all about TS. Are you related to that actress?

Ed worked on Y&R as producer/exec.prod/super.prod. from the 70s to 2007, and his work was appreciated. Not by LML, obviously.

    • I don’t even know why you responded to the bait.
    • I only watch for Sharon and she’s barely on. The only good thing going at the moment is Jack and Diane scenes and they’ve made Diane such a wuss lately which is making that unbearable to watch too 
    • I feel like Earl Hamner and his crew brought in Richard* BECAUSE they knew almost right away that Robert Foxworth was so dull as Chase.  At any event, Richard, IMO, proved to be much more interesting as Angela's chief adversary. (*Or brought him back, depending on whether we're including the original "Vintage Years" pilot).
    • And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.
    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success.
