HAH! No argument here. I do love Heather Tom, but for years, that teenage scowl every day always turned me off to Y&R. I couldn't figure out where the hell this girl's sense of humor went, and it made me turn off Y&R for a long time. I have since come to love her, but I can't say she was always the most appealing actress to me when I was much younger.

Look at that - another Unpopular Opinion I forgot to post when that thread was floating around. LOL!

I am totally with Nelson on this: HT and AH should switch roles.

They would each suit the opposite role better. There'd be great publicity for the switch. No one would be out of a job. Win-win-win (the last win is us, the viewers).

I really liked that the show dealt with Neil being forced out as Victor's #2. Even if it's just a blip in the Victor Returns to Newman plotline, it's so necessary. If Neil decides to stay at Newman, it's his choice. His request to not answer to Nick and Victoria is perfectly acceptable. Good for Neil and for Y&R explaining why Neil puts up all the Newman family crap.

IA.I thought these were today's best scenes. I don't think Neil should have to listen to either Nick or Sharon. They both jump ship whenever things are rough and chances are they will jump ship in the near future. It's only a matter of time. One of the things I love the most is the Victor/Neil dynamic.

Whatever happened to Devon working at Newman Enterprises?

I also thought Phylis was on point about Nick treating RS like it's a hobby. I think they should sink this company and really drive home Nick's loyalties- which don't appear to be with Phylis or this company. Working half a day with a growing company? Has he forgotten what destroyed his marriage to Sharon? You can't serve two masters the same.

    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
