Members dm. Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yes, boycotting a show just because of one or two characters is stupid. I would never give up Y&R. NEVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lmfan Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 No way would people be as upset as when Camryn Grime's was let go. Cassie was beloved and we watched her grow up on the show. She was a better actress at 7 yrs old than Christel Kalil is now. I am not joking. I rarely ever get lost in Lily's portrayal. And when she is in a very emotional scene I am more likely to be pulled out of her scene due to her acting than be pulled in. Not to mention Cassie died on screen which was even more heartbreaking while Lily would probably just be written out. DS was ok, but I was never a lover. I am not a CK hater and I always think when someone labels other haters it is because they have no good defense of their position and stoop to name calling. I am a lover of good acting and CK is not a good actress. I have made excuses for this because of her age but as you say she has been on the show for years and yet I have only seen a small improvement. I just compare her to a young Tracey Bregman or Heather Thom who started as teens and they were so much better than CK. CK is pretty and not the worst actress but on a show of very good actors she just not compare to so many of the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MTSRocks Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 TPTB will never please everyone, and they need to stop trying to. They need to just start writing good, realistic, and thoughtful stories. Screw the fan bases, if the writing is strong, then the viewers will stay. This Chloe/Lane storyline went from mildly interesting, to downright nonsensical. I really don't think some viewers are boycotting just because one character left though; they are leaving the show because they are tired of being treated like idiots by these so called writers. Honestly, I don't know if I can blame them giving all they had to put up with LML, and even before that Smith. I'm still enjoying the show, but it needs to tighten its stories.

Members y&r_fan Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 SOC and Sony. BTW, dmarex - CK wasn't let go in 2005 - she left of her own accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 And I didn't recall viewers leaving in droves when she announced her exit then... Y&R can survive with or without her and the character. Frankly, I think it's time she stays on the backburner for a while, and let other characters in the younger set have a main storyline, and yes that even includes Colleen.

Members BadZoe Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 I really think people are more devoted to a soap than to watch or not watch because of lousy 20 something so called actresses. They don't have much affect on me other than I love having the show on tape so I can FF them, along with the advertising that pays for these shows to still be on the air. Now if Jess Walton or MTS was fired, my devotion to this show might be impacted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm just checkin out Friday's episode, and all I have to say is with all the flashbacks of Lane's "love story". Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yes, the fact that they need to flashback the most boring and disturbing scenes of the past 8 months is sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 Is everyone mad at Y&R again? Is it falling apart again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm not mad, but it seems like it's falling apart. They decided to have two-three episodes with less Newman scenes, and immediately it causes drama. But the people b*tching are mostly "Lame" fans. However, Chloe's pregnancy story is a bit weird. Lily/Cane can't carry a main storyline. Also, Neil (who has most appearances than any character this month) can not carry a storyline without Dru. We're getting an overload of those people, and it's not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm enjoying it. It's not perfect, but it's been pretty entertaining. I also don't have the same deep loathing of certain actresses that others do, so it doesn't really affect my opinions when they're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 What does Lame stand for? I can't remember! I just started enjoying it and it starts falling apart again... How many more pregnancies? Where is the BUSINESS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
