lol.

Again, i do not think they will take cuts. But i do think they will be asked too. I do wonder tho, if it will be the same as JW, MTS,a nd whomever else or a lesser cut?

I dont think they will take it tho. I wonder if the show will give them the boot then?

and CLB may wear chaps to work, lol, ya never know!

I thought the hottest triangle they could have had back in the days was Billy, Mac, & JT. Because I felt that Mac was having feels for JT when she team up with him to get Billy jealous. Then they switch actress & I thought the 2nd Mac had better chemistry with the females. & Thought they should have made her gay back then.

I don't that is because of the tightly focused core...I think that is because of who is in the core. I think that is because they're forever killing and shooting people and disrespecting veterans.

I think that Y&R could show that a tightly focused core works much better.

Regardless...and this is something many of us seem to be agreed on...there is a HUGE unwashed mix of characters, often on the younger end, about whom none of us care OR who are poorly acted. These folks should be excised before MTS.

I don't see any of these cuts happening soon, otherwise, they would've occurred last year when all of these characters didn't work even then.

The way the storyline is going for Goddard, we might be lucky enough to see him gone in the next year and a half. And I don't know why Ali is still on at all. I mean Eva and Ana are clearly wasteful but Roxanne simply shouldn't exist when it comes to these "rough economic times."

As was stated, all those writers need to go. It's unfathomble how there are so many on payroll still, evenif they're salaries are miniscule, that's an obese staff that needs liposuction.

I don't know about Braeden, but Bergman will take a pay cut. I remember the shock when he fired from AMC. He has been there and knows that it can happen. He won't risk it. He will likely demand a longer vacation in exchange.

The tighter core is working on DOOL, don't you think? While I wouldn't recommend Y&R follow exactly that course, I cheer every time I see Maggie or Victor or Stefano these days...which is quite a bit.

    • Understand your point.  But I usually see Reginald's mustache twirling villainy as ultra campy bordering on comedic (albeit unsuccessfully).  And upon Reginald's exit, most of the overt camp/comedy seemed to cease. And although I'm aware camp and comedy are not exactly the same thing, I tend to throw them together anyway -- especially when discussing soaps.  You are correct, Mary was not played for laughs.  When I used to term "let's play everything for laughs" I didn't mean literally everything or every character was comedic. But TPTB put so much effort into comedy, it did tend to eat the show for a few years (again not literally). I'm just expressing my perspective on the topic, and lots of folks probably disagree.  That's cool. People who like comedy on soaps tend to defend it, and folks who don't like comedy (or think it want too far) tend to criticize it.  Whichever side of the fence one is on, it sure didn't help the ratings on AW. 
    • Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...
    • You may be a casual watcher, but you got SO much right.
    • I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.

    • This is what happens when you write for character over actor.
    • I assume Holly is Nicole's kid, right?  If so, the casting on the actress was spot on since she totally had some of Nicole's mannerisms/aura. Kristen is being shown as human again.. which we haven't seen from the character since Eileen's 1 year return back in the early 2010s. Kate is now running the Brady Pub?
