Does Y&R bore the tears out of anyone else?

Don't forget Gloria or as some might say the Gloria Hour

LOL! You sound like me. I caught a few scenes Sunday on SoapNet and I was "What the ...?" There was Nikki and some guy that looked like Nick/LuJack (GL) talking about some gambling problem. I guess GoatDaddy Victor just married some girl about a fraction of his septuagenarian age I didn't recognize. There was the guy that's playing Victor and Hope's SORASed son with some other chick I didn't recognize, but apparently Victor doesn't like her. When did Kevin and (is it Jenna?) become close with the Newmans? It appeared that Neil has reverted back to being Victor's lapdog (at least from the little bit I seen from this episode). I see that Nick and Phyllis are still an item and Victoothia must have moved on from Brad and the reliquaryzzzz and onto Jeffrey Todd Hellstrum. I also saw Ashley who needs to get her butt back to B&B where I have been enjoying her. Surprisingly, there weren't any scenes of the Skin Cream Killer anywhere in sight. LOL!

When I did watch y&r last, I was surprised how it was so Gloria-dominated, wasn't this character suppose to gone years ago?

Sorry in advance for shouting, but CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE BLOODY PROGRAMMING CONCEPT OF THIS DRECK TO ME?????? Let me say, relevant to this thread title, I am not so much bored but ANGRY and confused.

Two weeks ago, Katie Perry was on. Very modern...so modern that on the show Jack Abbott has said that with her on the cover of Restless Style, "no woman over 40 will buy the magazine".

Okay--so they're going for the young demo. I understand that.

Now, today, the fossilized, stretched relic of creature that was once Little Richard appeared. Clearly nearing dementia, he could not stand (he was seated at a piano the whole time), could barely move, and he needed everything--INCLUDING his song lyrics--on cue cards. He read these idiot cards relentlessly during his torturous scenes.

Now what demographic is being sought here? The septagenarian gay demo?

I fail to see how this all connects? What is the GOAL of all this stunt casting?

I am Gloria Abbott/Judith Chapman's biggest defender. But the over-acting, the mugging, the BAD SITCOM that was today's US episode has brought me as close to revulsion as I have EVER been with this show.

But never mind the bad scenes with Gloria and Little Richard. I simply do not see what decision-making-by-committee has felt that these disparate elements could somehow be thrown together to make a show. Because they don't.
