Oh, also, looks like Colleen's "BIG" storyline is heating up.

-Doesn't write for almost half of the canvas, yet always writes for favourite characters repeatedly.

Feel freed to add more to the list, but more and more, I'm definitely fed up with Maria Arena Bell, Hogan Sheffer, and Scott Hamner's vision for this show.

Good. If these include Jack, Jill, and Katherine, then I'm fine. I would say Nikki, but it's hard to know what is REALLY going on there between MTS/TPTB.

But yeah, the storyline is doing wonders for the show.

I love how they refuse to let her go, yet they might be losing MTS soon enough.

What are you trying to say about MTS? LoL

They probably played chicken. Go to the execs first, before they come to them. That way a sweeter deal can be made.

i love MTS but she needs to suck it up. PB, JC and EB know that they can't make their REDUCED salaries anywhere else but on Y&R. There's just no budget on any show for what they make.

Plus - if she played her cards right, she could negotiate for appearances on primetime shows. There's more value for her on Y&R than off.

I can hardly blame Tammin for MTS going no matter how much her Colleen is mis-cast.

But not without Gloria and Jeff in the same scenario.

Win.

-Can't write for the minority characters (OK, the Winters).

That's all of Daytime.

The Hubbards have the same problem.

Nope. Viva MTS! Those suckers always screw around with her. Let them get ZIMMA to try and play Nikki. See how well that ham goes.

Really? I don't watch AMC, but I thought they were doing good by that family, I always hear them mentioned and Debbi Morgan doggone got herself an Emmy nomination.

That's all of Daytime.

Exactly.

Did I say I blamed her for anything? My point was, they have an actress that they don't write for and they let her leave constantly to do outside projects, which hinders this storyline she's supposed to be in repeatedly.

Yet, Nikki has slowly been phased out for a year, even before MTS's contract trouble. They're so easy to let MTS go, yet they keep someone that is hardly on.

Exactly.

And that's supposed to be an excuse for why Y&R treats these characters so badly?

It's not blaming Tammin. It's the show keeping bad actresses instead of good ones. I'd cut Marcille-McClure-Sursok-Khalil-Rikaart-Frantz-Ford-O'Brien just to keep MTS.

And that's supposed to be an excuse for why Y&R treats these characters so badly?

Where did I say it was an excuse? It's the fact that every single writer seems to have a problem with this.

But you know it's bad when LML wrote more for the Winter's and considered them more of a main family than this current regime does.

and yes, LML sucks, no need to go into that again. But I love how some of us constantly rip her apart, yet excuse the mistakes of this regime.

TS is not on contract and Y&R is really a platform for her so she can get auditions and exposure so she launch her "big career". She's probably paid a tad higher than scale and gets paid when she's on an episode.

Another thing that hasn't been reported is how many of the crew were let go. They need money - and I'm glad they're doing what they can to still make the show look good. Still investing in sets, lights and sound. Their franchise fee was cut big time. Nobody in front or behind the camreas is making anywhere near what they used to.

Sounds good to me!

My bad, I take that back folks. Scooby-dooby doo!
