I cannot deny it. Though it worries me, I'm excited as hell. So, yes, I represent the worst kind of fan. I'll lap this up with a spoon.

He's the actor who plays "Luke" on General Hospital.

I've been screaming this at my tv set every day that I have to endure Tyra and Neil. I don't mind Tyra. I think she could be a sex vixen for the young 20 something set but I'm at a loss as to why they are bothering with Tyra and Neil when the real soapy story worth revisiting is Olivia and Neil.

Interesting. I agree. I think villainizing Tyra (sorry, Y&RWorldTurner, but you think I'm "out there" anyway) can improve that tale...and I do agree that Olivia and Neil would be much more interesting. I think, to energize that, we need a "spoiler".

Gil, the cop, is a man of the people...working class...like Nathan. (Nathan started out as Kong, the bad guy, but still...). So I could see Olivia being attracted to him. Once that gets rolling, then having Neil experience jealousy..

Of course, for me, always, when Neil FINALLY finds happiness and TRUE love...well...then I'm calling for another "back from the dead" plot. I'm incorrigible...

I think any soap would wish you as a fan. You are such a huge Y&R fan that I believe there is absolutely nothing that will stop you from watching it. That's not bad at all; however, sometimes you are too harsh on other soaps whereas you excuse Y&R each time they make a mistake.

It should worry you: such stories can be too much, they can oversaturate the viewer.

If you are incorrigible, I'm afraid of what that indicates about me because I feel that would be the perfect time for Drucilla to reappear. With memory loss of course to explain where she's been for the last 2 years. Jane Doe aka Drucilla would have a brain tumor that requires Olivia to conduct extensive research for a doctor who could cure her.

Why do you keep bringing that character up? It's obvious he was used as Tyra's love interest only in a few eps to get Neil's jealousy but that was immediately dropped.

The writers aren't investing a lot of time in various contract characters, so why do you think they would in Gil?

He will remain just a background character.

I believe any fan would ask for that plot, no matter if it's the millionth rewrite. There aren't that many people that don't want Dru back.

Hahaha... that gets old so quickly...

When remembering everything that happened, why did he have to have a smirk on his face? He is supposed to feel sorry, not to laugh. Or is that his sad face?

Because Gil is ON CANVAS, and he seems interesting. There is a lot going on behind the eyes, in his face. Rather than create a new male, why not build one they already have? He doesn't need to be on contract...he can be strong recurring as the romantic spoiler for Olivia.

But, our joint wish for Dru back -- and willing to accept it any way we can get it -- shows that WE ARE THE PROBLEM. I do understand that. We divorce these shows from any semblance of reality, and we help engender the eye rolls that help to kill this genre.

That said, I still want it to happen! :)

Wicked little kitty!

Taking this serious for just a moment: Don't you feel, in a very real way, he has? At least...what Cane has hitherto represented. Don't you think this is a

.

I'm going to say (Cane Must Die) = (Cane Must Cease To Be What He Has Been). If you accept that equality, I think your wish

.

If you're REALLY SAYING "Daniel Goddard must be fired"...well...sorry...I can't help you. Although it stands to reason that the current story twist no longer

...and that is a marker of contractual vulnerability.

    • She did have a thing with him in the late '90s, before she inexplicably disappeared with no mention as to why, although I can't remember if they had sex.
    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
