Phew! Thank God I was wrong! I meant some people here who proclaim it to be riveting drama! Unmissable '79 v2.0! Yeah...

And remember, it's the best the show has been in a decade.

I know it's all subjective and down to opinion, but really?

You know what, I just watched Thursday's show, and I'm GLAD Nick/Sharon do not get a blissful reunion. Both are self-absorbed and selfish characters, who have cheated on one another multiple times. I'd rather see a bumpy and troubled reunion between them, instead of a sweet, sappy love affair. Besides that, I'm tired of the Nick Newman free pass. Nick things he can just go back to his first family, and people think they deserved a better reunion than this? HA!

Why is Y&R being compared to Melrose Place all of a sudden? Oy.

Blame me!

I think it's because crazy Mary Jane reminds me of crazy Kimberly.

At least Kimberly didn't exist years before and forgave those who violated her when she left town, to finally come back to town with a new face and hold a vendetta against the same man she forgave when she left.

Blame it on the A-a-a-a-a-Alcohol!

I think Mary Jane is her own unique brand of psycho. Almost like Sabryn Genet's Tricia (the last great crazy female on Y&R).

Why can't we wait to see how this all plays out? Before we knew it was Patty, everyone was speculating Mary Jo, and even some non-existent face cream woman. Like gimme a break!

Sabryn is love.

Shame she quit acting.

Which fans are happy outside of Nelson Branco and the 5 or 6 suck-ups at Daytime Confidential? Nearly every Y&R board has been fairly down the show. The ratings after trending up are now trending down. And I'm one of the fans who can find some bright spots on the show. Y&R is good compared to other soaps but it's certainly not the show it can or should be.

I happen to love the show right now.(But keep in mind I have only seen the show for a few years)

I loved Mac's hair on Friday. Her extensions are looking really good

I loved Noah calling Sharon and Nick out. It is kind of digusting how everyone cheats on this show. I think Lauren and Michael are the only married couple who havent been fooling around. Murphy/Kat and Cane/Lily dont count as they only just got married.

I like the idea that Adam will be blind (for real) but given the way these story ideas either begin or end I'm almost a bit hesitant to even hope they use this to add depth to (what should be) a complicated, developing character

You know what frustrates me:

Whilst Sharon and Amber have characteristics in common they should be (as they were developed) two very different characters, within the last few months I feel as if Sharon has become Amber with better intentions. Where is the character identity?

Nick....Nick should always be a passionate character, he is also (like Sharon) prone to cheating, he is also not the most loyal now in addition he is completly selfish, nothing going for him in the parenting department anymore, stuipidER, dresses bad, and careless. I'm sorry what is left to root for again?

Neil & Devon. Oh God where to start? TPTB don't care to write them anything decent but my two cents in the absence of Dru and Malcolm Devon and Neil is the dynamic to develop, also while their at it flesh out Neil and Victor's dynamic pair Neil with someone who is not TYRA to sizzle with if even for a time being KSJ got it just find him the right fit. Give Devon a different angle to fit in with the rest of the canvas

forget Devon and Tyra anything. Just let it go and any hint of sexual anything (even if chem exists) between these two characters is not appealing.

So I don't get it is Devon too good for the FAB Four or is the FAB four too good for him? Devon's proposed stories are pathetic to say the least

So do we plan to blame all the DNA snafus on the same person(s) or should everybody just re-do any DNA related testing done in GC?

Well I think Sharon baby is going to give them problems especially if it's not Nick. I was going to say I don't think they took a DNA test yet. But seeing how DNA testing are in GC. It best if Sharon pick a name out a hat & hope she picks out Nick name.

With Lily, I am talking about the writing not the acting. Lily is written as someone with a good heart & good intentions. If CK fails to bring that to the screen, that's a different story. Also, during the days of the Billy/Lily/Cane triangle, we always knew that Lily's heart belonged to Cane.

I'm talking about before she fell for Cane in three seconds flat. She was head over heels in love with Daniel. The ydon't give thsi girl a breather in the romance department.

By that reasoning, I guess you should start a thread for all the ratings talk too, since it isn't episode talk at all.

Exactly.

But you are the one that bumped the head writer thread because it was "semi draining the main discussion thread", in your words. So even when you actually agree with Mark you need to disagree with him for some reason.

Here's a clip from Monday's US episode. Could they be ANYMORE OBVIOUS that Mary Jane is Patti Williams? For a good while now, they've been so obvious about it, and it takes a lot of the suspese away from the storyline. This show has literally been hitting us over the head with this Mary Jane as Patti crap for a while now. It's partly writing like this that is turning me off this show.

Thanks for providing the clip, Y&RWorldTurner!!!!!!!
