Y&R: Who Would You Cut From The Cast?

[Eric83]

+1.

[edgeofnik]

LOL No! We just had an explosion and all it did was create a dead man walking. Nope, I want Tucker to be the GC "Serial Killer" (no pun intended)

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Y&R already has a batch of serial killers that need to be barred from the show:

+100!!!

[DeeeDee]

Hogan counts twice.

[DRW50]

He's slimming then...

It's so difficult for me to judge accurately on who should go because I can't watch anything with Nick, Sharon...or any Newman. I just can't. I know they are supposed to be such a huge part of the show but they are too much for me. I really wish someone would come in and take a risk and write most or all of them out.

[DeeeDee]

WIN.

[Saving ATWT]

Can't believe there are so many Gloria haters out there. She is one of my favs! I'd cut Paul, Victoria, JT, Chance, Neil as well as all the Winters (Minority characters are important but this family is so boring minus Dru), Nina, Mac, Emily/Patty, and Tucker.

I'd somehow bring back Brad and get Lauren back on contract. Also, I'd find some means to save Adam.

[JackPeyton]

I love(d) Gloria, but her time is up.

Lauren is oretty much treated as if she is on Contract. It seems that between TEB & Y&R its an understanding, and she has spoken out about its her choice not to have a contact.

Adam needs to go away for a bit. They can bring him back down the line.

I want brad & lauren back together, so i think Lauren needs to hop on a plane to LAX and get her some brad 2.0.

[DeeeDee]

If anyone should've taken over Spectra after Darlene died it should have been Macy or Lauren.

[Cat]

Thank you! And Amen. They, far more than the hopelessly miswritten legacy characters they have near-ruined, need to be fired STAT.

I'm not a Gloria or a Jeffrey hater -- in fact, I love their dynamic. But ONLY as supporting cast. I'm sick of feeling forced to "root" for their lazy asses. I just love their backbiting, especially Jeffrey's.

Cut:

Tucker (sorry, Stephen, I love you but... not here)

Eden

Kevin

Jana

Ryder

Giggly Heffa (which should save some $$$$$$)

Lauren

Rehire:

Adrienne Leon's Colleen -- I don't care if we have to pretend the last year was a bad dream with the last two. Brad & Sharon also needs to happen.

[Cat]

I forgot to add that I want Michael Grazadei (Daniel) to be kept on the show. I strongly feel that freeing him from those Amber/Kevin/Jana tentacles and putting him in story with Billy Abbott and Newman Enterprises will finally shift Daniel into the late-20something/early 30-something set in which he belongs.

And if Ashley Bashioum ever came back, they need to revisit Daniel & Mac now that he's no longer school-age.

[Ry1]

Is there anyway we can have John wake up in jail and the past several years have all been a really bad dream? I HATE THIS SHOW RIGHT NOW. HAAAAATE.

I'd cut Amber, Cane, JT, Mackenzie, Daniel, Phyllis, Eden, Daisy, and Jana.

Recast Victoria, Malcolm, and Lily.

Back from the dead Dru, John, Brad, Adam (2 of these 4 aren't even dead)...

But even if they did all of those things, the writing would still SUCK. I feel so badly for the pros in this cast. Awful.

[DRW50]

I don't think I can take Billy chomping at yet another male rival. I do agree that Daniel would work as a character if he is taken away from the Scoobies.
