I was angry at the time about Tammin's firing. I still am. But if Tammin's going, I'm glad Colleen is being killed off (very unpopular opinion, I know).

I won't hope for MAB to be fired because I know it's never going to happen. But her henchmen have GOT to go.

Keep the faith, as I keep saying, unlike with B&B, the Bell's don't own the controlling stake in Y&R, Sony does. They can force her ass out anytime they want, along with her henchmen.

I'm hoping that will be the case by the end of the year. But if she must remain, I agree, she needs to get rid of her two (or three if you want to count Paul Rauch) henchmen and hire a better, more reputable and talented Co-Head Writer.

Australian racism rears its ugly head once again.

Also: It's unfortunate that Sursucks wil be the last actess this role knows. She doesn't deserve to take it with her, hell she doesn't deserve to take any Y&R pens from the set home with her :P

lol I bet we'll see Sursok on B&B as "Billie-Jean Spencer", Bill's daughter who has an inexplicable accent despite having never left the country or even met an Australian person. She will develop a crush on Thomas who contends that Billie Jean is not his lover, and that the kid is not his son (it is Rick's).

or, worse yet, Brooke says she switched Phoebe at birth, to usher back McKenzie Mauzy in a few years' time who sent an Austrailian replacement to her family because she faked her death because she was a lesbian.

Sure beats Owen's twin having an affair with "Steffy" who is actually Phoebe who had plastic surgery to look like her sister because she missed being identical as a child. Then Amber and her twin come to B&B and the double roles run wild!

I have no problem with her viewpoint on what she discussed re; Emmys. The process is whacked and I applaud her for stepping up saying how political it is. I don't think its sour grapes but highlighting the inequity of a flawed system. If someone spit on me I'd say something about it...I look at how the Winters are in their little cocoon with little(except for Lily) to no story with the rest of the cast...including Neil right now...so if she wanted speak her peace after 20 yrs odd years with the show...in a role that was created for her so be it...

I wonder what it would take (if anything) to get Curlee and her hubby to take over the show as co-HWs. Surely there must be a way. If not them, then maybe Broderick.

MAB could stay as co-EP with ... don't shoot me ... but JFP. She may be a bitch, but damn her GL looked mahhvelous.

With today's budget I'm not sure what JFP could do. I also imagine we would be saying goodbye to various older cast members, although Jess Walton already seems just about gone anyway and Ted Shackleford and Judith Chapman are dead weight now. I'm sure she would improve on Rauch, who was supposed to be so wonderful for production values and for improving the performances and has flopped badly on both counts. The hair on Y&R is now the worst on daytime, it's just sad. Bill Bell would be ashamed at the shredded bird nests which count as hair for a number of the women in the cast, Sharon, Chloe, Sharon, Mackenzie, Sharon...

I haven't seen Lorraine Broderick write anything above mediocre since 1996 but she would be an improvement over what they have now. Sheffer has to go.

Sharon's hair is just so bland. It just sits there... Sharon Case doesn't even qualify as a hair model. They should give it some shape like in this pic of Missy Reeves.

I'm waiting for Amber to pen Sharon's memoirs and call it HOT MESS: The life and Times of Sharon Collins Newman Abbott

    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.
