MarkH, we have different views of human nature. I don't think Devon should be like Victor just because he had a similar background. Very often people from the same background take wildly different journeys. Look at the real life example of Thom Bierdz and his brothers. Three very different life paths.

Not to be depressing about it, but I think our DNA is much more important in who we become. We've all heard the stories of identical twins separated at birth ending up with similar careers and similar spouses. I am discounting environment but I do think it's less determinative than our natures.

Speaking of twins, I'm now a big fan of Cane and P3 being fraternal twins because of what it does for Jill. This gives her three sons on canvas, two of which are Chancellors. When Kay passes, Jill, by virtue of being mother to Cane & P3 and grandmother to P4, becomes the de facto Chancellor matron. I want Jill to have MORE family, not less family.

^_^ You can't bring me down. I just watched Glee on Fox. "I can't stop believin'" That show is totally for the Fame lovin' high schooler I used to be.

I hear you about Devon vs. Victor. But my point is that Devon grew up as a runaway on the streets. There should be SOME trace of that hardness.

But I'm fine with Devon as he is. Bryton is good, and is capable of even more.

Please no fraternal twins :) . I want Cane to be a con with a good heart (think Sawyer on Lost). But I want P3 to be what he was...Jill's only first child.

Anyway...what is the plausibility? Someone steals P3's dead body, rescusitates him, and brings him to live with his fraternal twin in Australia that Kay stole??

Those twists will send Alvin over the edge! <_<

I just saw today's US show and what the hell was Lily wearing? Cap sleeves on bra straps??? EWWWWWWWWWWW. It was as tacky as the teddy's Phyllis used to wear in the Danny days, the only thing missing was the gloves. I'm surprised they weren't playing Madonna's Like a Virgin..."touched for the very first time" when she came IN.

I so can't wait for the Cane secret to come out. Unfortunately for it to have been kept such a secret, TB probably isn't even filming yet, and nothing is going to happen until November sweeps. My hope would be for Lily to come out of it a lot less baby talky and a little more jaded, but considering the history of the character on this show, that should already have happened.

As for people wanting to get rid of Jana, I don't understand why. EO can ACT. She was awesome telling Billy off and could have a real future as a young heroine on this show. If only they would establish her apart from the Fisher clan. They really need to have more cast integration on this show and let relationships develop organically out of on screen chemistry rather than forced script direction.

Tomorrow's show is really good, someone other than Noah actually knows that Condoms exist!!

It's nice that some of you are enjoying the show in its present incarnation, but I simply cannot. I will continue to watch however, Y&R has been apart of my daily routine for years, so it's a habit that I can't consistently break, no matter how bad the show gets.

Everything on this show is falling FLAT to me. I know they're trying, but they're trying too hard, to the point where a lot of substances and suspense is sucked out.

Maria, Sheffer, and Hamner have until this Phillip III storyline gets off the ground before I start my, "Fire Maria Arena Bell, Hogan Sheffer, and Scott Hamner" thread, complete with the beating of the drums. :)

You guys are too funny! So I guess Colleen's big story was Brad's death, right? Considering she's been MIA for most of '08, that's pretty big in relative terms.

JT seriously needs to run into Mac, Billy and the gang already. If we're stuck with CF/Mac, a good way to endear her to the audience is to have her strike up her friendship with JT again and to feel some wistfulness upon meeting Reed. We know that JT is chafing a bit under Victor's heel. Mac could be the perfect talk-to for him. It's a good way to get the audience to see Mac in a new light and not weighed down by all the expectations of Billy/Mac. And hey, maybe JT & Mac will have chemistry?

I totally understand. Though you think I'm a Y&R "fanboi", I feel exactly like you do about B&B. I watch out of sheer loyalty and hope for better days.

YES!

JT, Mac,

, Billy. Properly acted, Colleen could be thrown in with them.

Victoria really doesn't fit...and I think that should be the germ of a storyline. She and JT don't fit. They should be drifting apart. JT should feel pulls to both Mac and Colleen.

JT will NOT have chemistry with Mac, and you know it :). Don't even tease.

But here is my HUGE HUGE FEAR. With all those names listed, it feels certain some IDIOT would want to inject Brittany into this mix.

No no no.

THERE IS NO PLACE FOR BRITTANY. NEVER WAS. NEVER WILL BE.

I want to get rid of Mrs. Kevin Fisher, not EO. I agree that EO is a very good actress. I just find no purpose to the current incarnation of Jana besides being Kevin's cheerleader. It's a waste of the actress. Me and the twin thing again (they run in my family). Give Jana a twin. Make a super slutty super tramp. Make the twin the character we see most of the time, and only bring out Jana when Kevin needs a cheerleader.

There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no use for Britney. There's no place like home.

Miracles happen. Doesn't the Lane story make you believe in miracles?
