I think the show has been on the high-budget end for a long time. I think that returning favorites like Davidson does not come cheap. I think there has been a cost-cutting goal forever...Heather Tom left because of it...obviously Jerry Douglas left because of it...and it will just be a rolling stone.

I don't know when the contract is up, but obviously Y&R has to brace itself for a future renegotiation with CBS, and they will want to pare down and get ready. (That's called planning, Ken Corday).

In addition, even as they have to plan to save money, they know Braeden will demand an increase. Therefore, they have to plan for his salary increase by cutting everyone else :).

Started watching Y&R this week and just in time! Oh have I waited so long to see Glo in those handcuffs. I too am interested to see how she pays, but oh man is this going to have an effect on the entire canvas. I love it!

What is with Heather constantly wanting to pin murder on Victor Newman? Has she got a complex or what.

I found the events surrounding Glo and Jeff this week really shocking.

Kudos to the writers: Jeff applying the face cream to himself -> my jaw dropped to the floor. Then, his evil play with Gloho in the hospitasl room... It was really morbid but I couldn't think of a righter person to derserve it.

Gloria played poor Miss Innocent far too long. Now it's payback time!

    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
    • I need to go and find less.
