I'm not saying that Sheffer hasn't influenced the show somehow, but "Sudden Impact" would've happened with or with Sheffer. This IS Maria's story. What's happening now was planned before Hogan arrived.

Yeah, I think it's time for an epic showdown between these two titans. But the scene has to deliver on all cylinders to work. I'm talking not just the acting, but the writing, choreographing, directing... just everything has to be planned masterfully. No silly gimmicks, just a one two knock out punch.

Oh, I know it's her stories, but I've noticed since Sheffer's addition we've been getting tighter cliffhangers, and the tone of the show has gone from bright and rosey to dark and moody almost overnight. I know it's Maria's long-term projections, but I think Sheffer's or whoever's tweaking has brought on a totally new sensibility to her writing.

Exactly!

They need to bang......like Rocky Vs. Appollo Creed. 15 rounds.

This back and forth with Victor always coming out on top has been done to death. Not to mention Victor vowing to find the Mob Boss responsible for the death of the baby.

I can't believe my eyes. There is a lot of positivity concerning the show. And there should be. Whoever was responsible for the hire of Sheffer deserves applause. This also shows that MAB definitely deserves a chance.

It shows as well, that they can balance each other out. MAB brings Y&R knowledge and Sheffer brings soap opera darkness. The show is VERY dark now, and I attribute that to Sheffer. I can't speak for his As The World Turns stint, but when he wrote Days Of Our Lives, that too became very dark in tone.

As long as this continues, and they continue to reign in/curb each other's excesses, then the show might be turning the corner. And remember, all the writers, actors and those in the know have said the show will be like that of old. I believe Thom Racina said more than once that the 'essence' of Y&R was going to return.

Fingers crossed...

Oh, and as for the Fade To Black/EP name, Roman, you are a person after my own heart. If that happens, i will breathe a sigh of relief...

    • She did have a thing with him in the late '90s, before she inexplicably disappeared with no mention as to why, although I can't remember if they had sex.
    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
