Phyllis already lost one child, why should she have to suffer the loss of another?? only so some fans can be egstatic that her tie to Nick is broken??? Summer is just the icing on the cake, Nicke FELL in love with Phyllis before there was a Summer Newman or before Phyllis found out she was pregnant. History can not be re-written just to appease one certain fanbase or any one fan.

It's not the affair, it's the gang bang mentality that I don't want to see rewarded. Summer shouldn't die, but she should be Jack's. It would be fun to address why Nick would claim the baby as his own and leave his family to play house with his ex step daddy's baby and wife.

I don't see how it's stupid for Billy to wind up with two infants because he's too stupid to put on a condom. Herpes would have been better for this storyline than another baby, but people don't get incurable STI's on soaps.

He's a very strong and brave man. I can't imagine going through a fraction of what he went through. I'm looking forward to seeing him on the show, having only become a viewer recently.

As for the Sharon/Nick/Phyllis triangle, I want Nick to be with Sharon. Just sayin.

in that case Cassie is dead and it is sad that the writers are using Cassie as sexual foreplay for Nick and Sharon, it seems they have to discuss Cassie before they have adulteress sex! Why can't the love they have for their living child be the glue that binds them and the reason for them to re-unite??? why does it have to be Cassie and this child that probably is not even Nick's child, why can't their own biological child be enough?!

I've never said a child has to be the reason they reunite at all. I wasn't even talking about what I want to happen, I'm talking about what I believe will happen based on 20 years of watching soaps. It is all but inevitable that Nick and Sharon will reunite some day and then break up again. Just like Victor and Nikki have done that dance over and over. I also believe at some point Y&R will give them another daughter. Not because I want that to happen, I just think that's a card the show will play down the road. Time will tell.

I have never seen Nick and Sharon as the "new" Victor and Nikki, they just never had the "umph" that would quantify them as a super couple! for the 10 years they were married they did not inter-act that much with the rest of the cast, they were on their little fantasy island save for the cheating partners they had, they just never had substance to me. And in my 45 year history of soap opera watching, I have yet to see where a couple "HAVE" to re-unite??? there are alot of couples in soap history that never re-untied after getting a divorce! I personally see no reason to have to suffer through more wasted air time of this toxic and boring couple!!! again, why try to recapture the past when the past SUCKED!

I didn't say they are the new Victor and Nikki. I said they will get together again and break up again just like Victor and Nikki have. And I didn't say it "has" to happen. I said I believe it will. The show has given me every possibly indication of this. Personally, I've never been a big fan of Sharon and Nick, but I think the writing is on the wall.

The grief they share over Cassie dying is what keeps bringing them together. To insinuate that they are actually using their dead child as foreplay is sick, if putting it in those terms to defend your preferred couple makes you feel better then so be it.

You've watched soaps for 45 years and you've yet to see where a couple had to reunite?!?!

There are plenty of people who see no reason to have to suffer through more wasted air time on Phick too.

I would like it if both Sharon and Phyllis both found someone other then Nick.

It's Y&R's fault for writing to many situations where sex is supposed to be this magic cure all to almost anything.

    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character
