The Y&R discussion thread should be a fraction of the size it usually is, but very often it's off topic discussion that goes on and on.

Anyway, back to the actual show...

I wonder when Katherine will get her buisnesses back. Surely, now that they all know she's alive, Chancellor and Jabot should revert back to her.

Without Dru..... where does Neil go? I don't see Rowell returning anytime soon..... I kind of feel Neil as a character has sort of ran his course? Much like Brad Carleton did.... the same can be said about Doug Davidson....

Lets face it, one of the main reasons he had leading man status all those years was his ties to "The Bug"........ since her departure he has really been nothing but a PI...

They've tried tying him to Nikki, but we only know that was a plot device in the ever going saga that is Nikki and Victor..... they aren't writing any kind of relationship there.

That's just my opinion.... I think what Y&R needs to do know is bring in a new anchor african american character, then slowly develop him/her with a family and a background.... much like the Winter's in the late 80's early 90's.....

Paul hasn't been any sort of leading character in years, and he has very little ties to anyone family-wise on the show.

Really, I think Paul should've been gone years ago, he really hasn't served a purpose over the past 7 or so years.

Tonya Lee Williams lives in Canada and only agreed to come back on a recurring basis. She has other commitments, so I don't expect to see her leading any stories soon. Though, she's supposedly involved in Ashley's upcoming storyline.

I certainly agree with you. Olivia is the only one who can anchor that family.

And that's the problem, Tonya lives in Toronto and only agreed to recurring.

My hope is that if MAB offered Tonya a heavier workload, she'd take it. I am inclined to think that if MAB said "OK Tonya, we've got 6 weeks of front burner for you and then 4 weeks off" she'd take it. I believe she still owns a home in LA.

Yes! If Tonya Lee Williams is interested in front burner status again..... I totally think Olivia has lots more potential than Neil at this point.... then if Rowell ever does decide to come back... Dru still has a tie to the canvas.

So.... back to the topic at hand....... how far is this Sharon thing going to go.... like I just am soo glued for this....

Does anyone think she will go as far as to try and physically hurt someone if she goes totally out of her mind.... like maybe get in an SUV..... and just happen to be driving down a street that Phyllis just happens to be crossing :)

    • That's right, Kim Zimmer was pregnant with Jake Weary when Reva was pregnant with Shayne.  I don't think I've seen a photo of Mr. Weary, but from what I can tell Jake looks so much like his mother.
    • The show of late has had me in hog heaven, LOL! But, really, my soaps & I are getting along just fine.  GH is excellent. BTG is beyond fabulous. DAYS is so much better.  What more could I possibly ask for? I know, 30 hours in a day?!!!
    • At the start of 1982 under Ellis/Hunt (on CBS) SFT was solidly in the middle of the 13 soaps pulling in between a 7.5 and 6.5 with high 20s share. The final week on CBS the show garnered a 6.3/23. The first week on NBC and mostly thereafter, the ratings were in the middle 3s with a 12 share! I I think under Tomlin 1 and under Glynn the show might have hit over a 4 and 14 but one week only or so.  Capitol didn't get those numbers until middle of summer and in the first few months hit the 4s and low 5. By year end it was in the low 6s/23 share but struggled for the remainder of its run.   NBC's Search was never going to get 6 / 23 shares but when they were solidly in the high 3s and 12/13 share they invariably fired the writers and producer. Dumb. 
    • Wasn't there talk of bringing back Dan Kennicott at some point?  Like, sometime during the late '90's or early '00's?
    • Cliff was Logan's protégé, from the time he was a legal clerk up and until he became ADA. I think you have to have seen Deborah's father for that relationship to make sense, it is very Oedipal.  Mr. Saxon was a charming mobster and was briefly involved romantically with Geraldine.
    • If the actors in question had studied Agnes Nixon's character naming conventions, they could've saved themselves a lot of disappointment. In Pine Valley, there's no way that Wally is going to win in a romantic entanglement with Sean.  Just as Dan Kennicott was never going to be as intriguing as Benny Sago. She was more subtle than Bill Bell, and I can't be certain she even personally named all of these men.  But there is a pattern to be studied. Cliff Warner wasn't as emotionally driven as his name would suggest, but we knew Sean and Linda meant trouble before they even appeared on-screen.  
    • There's also an audio-only clip on YT where Gail lashes out at Monica after learning she had had an affair with her late husband (not knowing or understanding, of course, that, in fact, he had raped Monica).  I remember listening to that years ago and thinking, "Wow, now I see why Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for her!"
    • It would be so CAMP if she just showed up dressed like this to the hospital or a Dupree family function and pretended to be Nicole

    • It's still so wild to see Jake Weary all grown up when I still remember when his mom was pregnant with him (on GL, and IRL).
    • I agree.  Of course, I haven't seen any of her work on DAYS or LIAMST, but I have seen her stuff on other shows (SFT, GH, LOL, FC and KL) and I think she was very, very good.
