What if Bloom offered Ellen Wheeler Y&R?

I don't get why ppl want to just hand the #1 soap in daytime to executives of failed soaps it's like they haven't learned from the LML debacle. Barbara Bloom is the reason why Y&R was in the mess it was until MAB came along and fixed Bloom's friends mess. Ellen Wheeler can go join another soap Y&R is off limits. Y&R is not an outhouse where anyone can just come in and take a crap.

Poor Wheeler is just the sad tragic story of the little engine that couldn't. Doesn't make me happy to say i though cause she seems like a lovely lady. But it's because of her decisions and the budget. The truth is I would love to go back and watch GL, but the characters don't make sense to me, there's no history on the show, and the terrible production values.

Anyone who knows me on here knows I love Y&R - and the litmus test for me on the new format is - Would I watch Y&R if it went to GL's format and the answer is - yes. if the characters stayed true and the s/l's stayed interesting, I would watch Y&R filmed on-location. Admitedly, I'd watch with bated breath, and I'd miss the traditional format, but it would be enough for me that I could still continue to enjoy the show.

GL was unwatchable to me BEFORE they did the change and the change just accelerated my disconnect from the show. Now if I catch it on I marvel at how I don't know anyone on the show and don't care. I'm going to watch the 1st week of Phillips return (on DVR for FF options) as a last ditch effort at seeing if any miracles happen. I'm not holding my breath but I have a little bit of hope. That's what X-mas is about though right?

    • Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...
    • You may be a casual watcher, but you got SO much right.
    • I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.
    • Tamara Tunie said on her IG today that the current season of BTG ends at the end of August.  Then Season Two begins. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJkCcNQRxBR/ Edit:  I have more detail, but I'll move that over the the renewal thread

    • This is what happens when you write for character over actor.
    • I assume Holly is Nicole's kid, right?  If so, the casting on the actress was spot on since she totally had some of Nicole's mannerisms/aura. Kristen is being shown as human again.. which we haven't seen from the character since Eileen's 1 year return back in the early 2010s. Kate is now running the Brady Pub?  
    • I think most people's knowledge of DNA tests comes from Maury. I dont think she nor most people would even think to consider genetic markers
    • Calendar year, at least going by when the Season Numbers have changed in the past several years on GH and on DAYS it's been calendar years. What their start dates are though haven't necessarily made inherent sense to me.  Hmm, interesting point. I'm used to being for underdogs, as well, but I am very invested in the Duprees.
