Most of these boards who speck favorable of CK is when she with the hot guy. Can we say Daniel & now Cane. Let them write something just for her people will be crying send her back to Paris or better yet she needs Daniel or Cane again. If you read people respond on other site. All they talk about Lame I mean Lane. Even Cane gets a thread by himself.

JFP sounds like she would be a great EP, until she decides to have Kay or Jill or Nikki die.

She doesn't have the reputation of a soap killer for no reason, even though I admit what you guys have been saying sure makes sense and doesn't sound that bad :lol: However, is MAB really someone who would be able to stand up to someone as hands on as JFP?

JFP wouldn't have Kay, Nikki or Jill killed off. The woman enjoys her matriarch's and bitches as long as they rate favorably in focus groups (which I have no doubt JC and JW and MTS do)...the kind of characters JFP would fire would be...

Adrian (he's be first to go, I bet JFP would have him choke to death or something, just to be rid of him)

David

Gloria (I really truly believe she'd get the axe based on focus groups)

Sabrina

Kevin

Jana

The young group, sadly, is pretty safe. Sony is intent on making a base of youth for Y&R with a cast of untalented actors. Again, JFP works for 'the company'...as far as being a soap killer, JFP's order to kill off Frankie Frame on AW was done due to the budget, something Y&R doesn't have. Originally, Anna Stuart's Donna Love was to get the axe, but fan protest killed that idea.

JFP is a ruthless kind of EP. She takes no bullsh*t and no prisoners. I do not think MAB is suited to stand up to her but then I do not MAB is suited to be HW either. But Hogan Sheffer would be and his sense of humor is such that I could see JFP actually taking happily to him. Is she the safe bet? Absolutely not. Perhaps that's exactly what Y&R needs to get itself back together.

IMHO, today's show was well done. The big exception for me was Victoria's whining throughout the entire hour. Ugh. A woman her age has no business belly-aching about her father's marriage to her "best friend" and she needs to get over it.

Other than that, I enjoyed the show. I actually don't find Sabrina that annoying (she isn't my favorite by any standard and she's not my least favorite). And I found it kind of pathetic that on her wedding day, none of her friends showed up and her gold-digger mother is the only one there from her family. I felt kinda bad for her.

The David shocker - his announcement to Nikki! I didn't see that one coming at all. And it's good that the writers are trying to show us a different side of him today (that he's struggling with gambling), but I still want him gone. Can't stand the guy. Make him the killer of Ji Min already and send him off to prison never to be heard from again. I thought for sure that the end would be him on a plane to Las Vegas and a shot of Nikki having a riding accident....

The Jill/Katherine scenes were good. Love that they tied the younger woman/older man thing with Victor/Sabrina in with the history of these two characters. I think Jill is gonna have something to say about Heather and Adam.

Loving Heather/Adam. Glad there was NO GLORIA today. Good Show...

I haven't really taken the time to look back through threads. I'm sure this has been touched upon. And I haven't been watching either to know if this has been reversed, but didn't Victor receive a vasectomy years ago? How is Sabrina pregnant?

If it was all about the hot guy (Cane), people would just be posting about Cane - not about Cane/Lily. If they didn't like Lily, they would be complaining that they wanted Lane split up. But like it or not, Lane has a massive fan base. (Have you seen the CBS board? Every other post is "Lane this", "Lane that"...)

Personally, I can't believe anyone thinks CK is a bad actress, but to each their own.

OMG, please don't let this witch anywhere near Y&R if she's going to fire Kevin and Gloria! :o

And then Kevin would find out that Sabrina, Jana and Korbel (a hidden family) conspired to kill her when she found their picture together. :lol:

And then Michael, Lauren and Kevin would finally find a story that wouldn't be revolved around Gloria.

I like Kevin, but even I am finding both CLB and Rikaart increasingly mannered and too glib (respectively).

I think because they have no meaty material, they are having recourse to their basic instincts on how to "punch up" a performance.

As Rikaart's Emmy reel showed, IF he is given material, he can bring it...and he can adjust his performance to the material too. (Leblanc too...although I found his Emmy scenes with Shackleford both riveting and too showy).

This is my long-winded way of saying new writing and new beats need to challenge these two fine actors.
