Well when I find it completly sucky (lets hope it doesn't get that bad again) I'm bailing, no loyalty for suckiness here. Now I'm at that stage where I pick and watch the stand out good epis or the ones with my favs on. I somewhat still like Phyllis and for some odd reason Sharon and I love Chloe so I'll tune into tomorrows skipped today's though

Maybe it's just me but I don't see those Nina/EH comments enough

I understand these points. But it does seem like, up until the comment on Kevin, the complaints have been rotating around the same topics. If it were varying negativity, I, personally, wouldn't have as much of a problem.

I feel the need to answer this since people keep asking. Why watch a soap when it sucks? Habit and loyalty. Many soap viewers are watching the life story of characters they love and grew up on. Sometimes that story sucks (ATWT I'm looking at you), but that doesn't mean I'm going to bail on watching the lives of people I've cared about for 20 years. Yeah, that makes me an old school kind of viewer, but that's the kind of viewer soaps need. As a soap loses that kind of viewer they die. We saw it with GL. As some point there was nothing recognizable left and many of the people who GL had to work to lose left. Let's hope that doesn't happen to Y&R anytime soon.

BAM!

I agree to a certain extent. I skip out on all the blandness and watch until the storyline begins to completely suck again. It's worked for me so far with OLTL. I just can't stand watching something everyday that makes me want to throw a chair at my poor tv screen just because I've developed a habit.

Um, I think I offered a good variety of stuff I don't like on this show.

-The horrible quad.

-The crappy art story

-The Winters crap and Tyra

-The constant misogyny and the weak women on this show

-The reliance on shock tactics

-The stupid retcons, like Phillip coming back from the dead, though we saw him DIE.

and there's more I'm forgetting...

I think that's the other side of the coin. I've seen people made completely miserable by GH to the point that it affects their personal happiness. If that's happening to someone, then it's time to call it a day or take a break. No show affects me in that way though. I may not be pleased by what I'm seeing on ATWT, but when the show is over I leave it behind me.

# Sharon thinks she's won the fight for Nick, but unseen, in the background, Fate is quietly slipping a horseshoe into its boxing glove.6:40 AM Jun 10th from web

I found this posted on the VictorNewman twitter blog.

I'm not sure how to post a url on this board.

This makes me think they are going to drag out the Nick/Sharon/Phyllis thing a bit longer, which I guess is realistic (even tho' I don't like it).

Wait til you see the

shot of Nick's face as he is holding Sharon at the end of the show. Nick looks at Cassie's drawing (Sharon digs it out to tell him that they will put it in their new house that they've been shopping for) and flashes back to Summer running into his arms screaming "Daddy" His "Oh, sh!t, what am I doing" face is the most acting I have seen out of JM in a month. Classic.

Victoria's a pro at getting hit in the head now.

LMAO! She studied this at Art School in Italy.

If this stupid quad doesn't end by the end of the year, it might finally be my breaking point and I'll have to quit watching this garbage.

All of these people keep on being treated like crap, yet they go back for more emotional abuse? I have no sympathy or care for any of these characters anymore.

I look forward to seeing Nick and Sharon reap the continual harvest of their reckless actions.

The only thing that will satisfy me right now is if Phyllis makes a clean break, and lives a really together life. I want Nick, on a daily basis, to be reminded of how much he threw away.

And he didn't throw away anything when he and Sharon split after 10 years of marriage?

Phyllis has had other longterm partners on this show, she can easily be placed somewhere else. But it seems TPTB like pandering to stupid rabid fanbases. Leave Shick in their own orbit and let Phyllis and Jack move on, not with one another for the immediate moment though.

INDEED!

I don't understand why some people don't want this ridiculous quad separate by now, if even on a temporary basis. We've had like almost four years of them eating this show alive non-stop. Enough is enough already.

If Peter Bergman can't sell a story than there's something deeply wrong with the story. The Quad is beyond over. I don't care anymore. If that was your intention MAB, the BRAVO, you win. You have BEAT the Shick fan out of me, you have BEAT the Sharon fan out of me and if you keep this up, you'll BEAT the Jack fan out of me. So thanks for that!

I did love the ending today with Adam. So deliciously disgusting and hilarious with his threat against Victor. Adam is one vile piece of trash but damn I still can't help but like him. Stupid CE!

Poor MJ! She doesn't want Paul to be an enemy!
