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.

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.
