I wish someone would just taunt TS into leaving, and every other sorry ass on Y&R who's a waste of [!@#$%^&*] space.

Damn, I don't want to see the episode when everyone bids farewell to Nikki.

And I certainly don't want to see the episode when they replace her with Hickland. BARF and a half!

Mark my words, if MTS goes, Hickland will be close to the top of the line to replace her.

The worst thing is, if MTS goes, they won't even honor her with a farewell. It'll be a Bobby Martin/Patch&Kayla style fading away.

Well, if she really HAS something on someone....it's time for that person to face their demons! Out yourself! You're not just hurting yourself, but you're hurting all of us with this power you've given this woman over a show's signature heroine.

Colleen should be one of the MAIN YOUNG FEMALES on this show. Instead....

I really think we're past the LML era. But, if we're gonna go dark, I'd say that one of Walter Palin's minions...or one of the people who killed Bobby Marsino...comes out of the woodwork and perpetrates a revenge killing against Nikki.

Then, following up in more MAB/HS style, then Victor would go to Mexico to avenge her. Sharon would go klepto because of the bad relationship she had with Nikki--and her guilt for dragging Nikki into the sewers in a fur coat. And Kay would throw herself on Nikki's coffin. And the much-reconstructed Roberta Leighton would come back to the funeral and talk to herself (in voiceover) during the funeral.

No, no. She is horribly disfigured and comatose. JT goes in and carries her out to the strains of orchestral music. (JT's back is permanently wrenched in the process). Then, she undergoes facial reconstruction after the fire...and comes out looking like Catherine Hickland.

But I thought Kent was schtupping Jill Farren Phelps????

The thing with the MTS situation is that I am mad. ATWT will never have me again as a loyal watcher after what they did to Martha. But i don't pay to see Y&R, advertisers do. If the advertisers aren't paying what they used to, stars can't make what they used to. As an idealist - having Y&R without MTS makes me sick. As a realist and an actor, I also know the show must go on. But if MTS contends that there's sexisim in the deicisons to cut actresses's pay and not the male actors then something stinks. EB is the only one on the show who is absolutely, without a doubt, irreplaceable. That said he's only as strong as his on-screen partner - MTS. She's aged, she's gained weight and she's never been a knock-us-out actress. But she's been the background to VN's forground for 30 years.

I also contend that Y&R's dominance in the ratings has always been because whether you watch it every day or just when you're at grammas house, you can always see mostly, the same front-burner characters you love. That is a formula - not just one ingredient, that makes the show successful.

PS - Please don't mention Hickland's name in the same sentence/paragraph/post as MTS's. No way in hell...

    • I feel like Earl Hamner and his crew brought in Richard* BECAUSE they knew almost right away that Robert Foxworth was so dull as Chase.  At any event, Richard, IMO, proved to be much more interesting as Angela's chief adversary. (*Or brought him back, depending on whether we're including the original "Vintage Years" pilot).
    • And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.
    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success. 
    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?
