I forgot to add that some Lily fans are already trying to pair her off with the next man once Lame runs it course. & you won't believe who they think could do Lily character justice.

On a side note: I ask these fans don't you want something more from Lily then she who she paired with. This LIly is actually being define who she's with.

This is the reason that I'm tired of all three of these characters, give them a rest already!

CK seems to be playing an extension of herself just as some of the other younger actresses are and her Twitter page sounds EXACTLY like she plays her character.

I didn't mind CK the first time around and didn't mind her reprising the role but she's been AWFUL this time around. Sadly. she hasn't grown as an actress one bit, she still plays the character the same way she did years ago.

I think it's real... see my above comment about it. Tammin Sursok's is just as bad, very childish.

Agreed. I thought she was fantastic the first time around. The Kevin/Lily story was a major highlight to me during that time though. Just excellent performances, and good writing for the most part. Then Khalil got burnt out, and Jack Smith tried to make her a lead actress.

CK and Sursok should both be playing teenaged roles since that's their acting mentality. Actually, Sursok's roles in the films that she's done are probably more suited to what she should be playing not Colleen in the boardroom trying to one up TGVN.

CK doesn't try but I partly blame the producers & writers for this. Why is there so little follow up on Lily/Daniel? Why doesn't she still secretly fear/hate/lust Kevin? Why isn't there lingering tension with Colleen over Colleen sleeping with Daniel? Lily isn't a three-dimensional character who carries her past experiences with her. You can say that an actor she should be asking those questions but the way Y&R seems to rolls is basically, actors please shut up and just act read your lines. As we just discussed, Joshua Morrow has had far more profound questions and the writers have done him no help in trying to explain why Nick's such a ditherer.

There aren't throughlines for most of the characters expect maybe Victor, Jack, Kay and Jill. Characters don't carry the past with them and the past doesn't seem to impact their decisions. Lily should be a wonderfully complicated heroine. One who loves Cane, but is also nostalgic for Daniel, confused about Kevin, loving but sometimes resentful towards Colleen, and so on.

      All the time they spent trying to make viewers feel sorry for Chad only for him to not even last that long. I wonder if they knew Richard Burgi was going so quickly. You're right about Josie replacing Cheryl. On paper, this should have made sense, given all the ties Josie had to the canvas, but I did prefer Cheryl. There was something very synthetic about Alexandra Wilson.

      So true...Hackney might have had a story on FC with Richard being an old lover of his, but reveals herself to be a Cartel member and blackmails Richard with something into doing her dirty work  LOL. But of course Richard had his hands full with the double trouble sisters Ms. Jones and Ms. Braxton that season.

      Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.

      From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.

      CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.

      I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.

      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. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!

      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.
