Those dogs were created under LML just as Ji Min died under LML. MAB just killed four birds with one stone. Make DC the bad guy/murderer get him killed and Sabrina in the process. Then have Victor get rid of WP w/o being "a murderer". She found her out by tieing in those unresolved LML issues. Now it seems some more issues are being created as we speak

David Chow killed Ji Min as a hit for Walter Palin.

I know that's what aired...but I doubt that's the way the story was originally plotted out by the previous regime.

The previous regime didn't even plot the story out at all, they dropped it like a hot potato. Given that Y&R was the first soap to air strike episodes, you can tell Latham did no long-term plotting, and it definitely showed on this show, not to mention, there were numerous dropped things from this era.

He seems like a friendly guy. I actually hope he keeps his job and that Cane ends up with someone more exciting than Lily. Nina, MJ anyone really.

Watching Thursday's US ep right now.....Peter Bergman does the voice over for "The role of Adam is now being played by Michael Muhney." He's pretty natural in his first scene - a sign of an experienced actor.

I was surprised that it was announced as simply "ADAM" and not Adam Newman or Adam Wilson. I don't recall recasts ever not being identified by his/her characters first and last name.

Okay. It's official. Kevin is done. Greg Rikaart is a fine actor, and normally I always try to find a purpose for a character. But I can't. Kevin Fisher is done. It's time to move on Rikaart. I'm bored with both the actor and character now.

Emily O'brien on the other hand? Sexy, talented, and still full of potential.

I SO agree with this can they please kill the character of Kevin off of this show?

Michal Muhney was quite natural in his scenes and he plays the blind aspect, or the faking blind aspect a lot more realistically than Engen did. This episode didn't give too much to judge him by and it was his first day, but I think he did well given the circumstances.

While I will miss Engen's portrayal of Adam, after seeing Muhney for myself today, I'm looking forward to his interpretation.

I've got to know, did someone here start this petition? My link

LOL, no, while I do not like her "writing" I don't do stupid petitions, and I don't think anyone here did it.

But, glad to know others are feeling the same way I feel.

Look, I know your schtick is to hate everything, but there's no possible way you can seriously state that someone who went on strike and then got fired let plotlines drop. You're not a mindreader, you don't work behind the scenes of the show, you have no way you can back up that statement.

How was she supposed to resolve those plotlines? Photocopy her work and hand it out on street corners?

Honestly I don't know enough to outright say fire them. Though I'm not necessarily enjoying most of the storytelling technique, application, approach and format it could be worse and also how do I even know for certain Sheffer and MAB are the worse things about the show. Maybe one needs to go but what was good about it a few months ago I would like salvaged also how come SH is not on that petition? Oh that's right he's the less famous of the trio, when it is quite possible he is the weakest link

I didn't say she did during the strike, I said she let plotlines drop when she was THERE.

The Ji Min stuff was dropped months before the strike happened. Latham had ample time to resolve it, and she didn't. Y&R went to strike episodes a little over a month after the strike occurred, so that tells me very little long-term writing and planning went into this show from her side. Other shows, aired non-strike episodes a little longer than Y&R, so.

You're not a mindreader, you don't work behind the scenes of the show, you have no way you can back up that statement.

It showed on screen, and I believe Tom Casiello said in one of his blogs that when he was writing for the show during the Latham era, he sometimes had ONE day to turn in a breakdown, when the process is supposed to be longer. So, what kind of planning is that?

How was she supposed to resolve those plotlines? Photocopy her work and hand it out on street corners?

Not drop it immediately after she wrote it, and if she wrote actual detailed long term story projections, it shouldn't have been a problem. For months after he died, under her leadership mind you, Ji Min was either never mentioned again, or they chose not to deal with the circumstances involving his murder. So, most of the blame goes to her from my side, and I can't fault MAB for resolving it the way she did.

Nick's amnesia was also dropped during the Latham era, as well as who was behind that plane crash, and that was in the beginning of 2007. Who I am supposed to blame for that? Or is Latham absolved from any blame for things that happened under her regime?

A little too early perhaps to pass judgement, but I already prefer Michael Muhney to Chris Engen as Adam.

Nice hairy chest too on display today!

I had a feeling that you didn't start it but I knew that some of you would appreciate knowing that more fans feel the same.

Not feeling the new Adam. He looks too old to me.

Ditto..I mean I didn't want like a CE clone(I wish CE would have stayed), but at least someone that looked to be the same age or similar to him.

Nothing to say. King of pop is dead.
