^^ Proof that people, whatever their age, color or gender, just want entertaining characters. But I think MarkH has a point. And, in may ways, that is a very clever strategy. I mean, alot of us were introduced to soaps via grandmothers, moms, babysitters and other caregivers. I do think that Y&R might try a three-pronged approach: 1. Ana, 2. Victoria Rowell and 3. a hot piece of ass.

My problem with Ana (and believe me, I don't want to be mean about a little girl who does have talent) is that I'm being force-fed sugar by the scriptwriters. This also feels like one big promo for her music career, a stepping stone to her own show on the Disney Channel. Teenage years posing seductively for Vanity Fair and her MySpace page await.

SO much happened today that I feel like I have to watch it again from the beginning.

Josh Morrow and Chris Engen have great rivalry chemistry. Their scenes today were great and IMO, CE was excellent. Not that I'm anti-Newman kids, I just love the fact that one of Victor's sons is so much like him. Count me in the Team Adam group. The Nick v. Adam rivalry has a lot of legs and hopefully the writers keep 'em going.

MTS' performances this week have been very well done, IMO. Not OTT, just right. And still showing us how she is struggling with her addiction. Her talk with Kay today made me :)

Victoria/AE at the gravesite was played well. She actually had me a teary-eyed.

And Jana. I've been warming to this character over the last month or so, but today.....count me a fan. Y&R needs a quirky off-beat character like her and she just makes me smile. Spilling the news about Chole to Neil? :D:D

Another good show today. Tomorrow looks good as well.

Even though I'm glad Sabrina is gone, it's true that Victoria didn't respect her one bit. I understand that it's weird for her that Sabrina married her father, but for the last few months the only thing Victoria ever did was talk about Sabrina. Sabrina this, Sabrina that, Sabrina made me mad today, Sabrina did this today...... it's like she was the only thing on her mind. She has a freakin' boring husband and a little baby in her life too.

I liked Adam ever since he joined. But I understand why others needed more time to warm up to him.

I know, but hasn't it taken a new level these days? It's on too much.

LOL, before you go that route, DeeDee, you should know that unnecessary singing/album promoting on ALL soaps receives WAVES of negative posts on SON. Regardless of race. Danny Romalotti or Brittany or JT caterwauling, anybody? I don't recall many fans of Jewel when she showed up, either. Don't even get me (or any other B&B viewer) started on Jack Wagner. The only successful musical moments considered by most have been Snoop on OLTL (and Mary J Blige but that's cause I'm a fan). And Nia Peeples a couple of months back.

I would like the REAL Kevin Fisher back. Now, please. Thanks.

Otherwise? I'm pretty content with the show these days. It's not wow-ing me, but I'm enjoying it. And it's been pretty consistent, unlike the huge highs and lows I'm getting from other shows.
