Well, Kevin tried to kill her and look where he is now. I'm not sure why people are suprised they would kill Colleen off just because we saw her as a teen. They killed Cassie and viewers saw her grow up. Her death did provide story, but her parents have turned it into a farce. The writers see Cassie as this excuse for her parents to shack up.

Yep, totally useless, and given the worst of the worst stories on this show.

I know these idiots in charge are going to whitewash Patty Jane's crimes as much as they did Kevin's...

There's no one really left to feel the aftermath of "Colleen's" death. Traci will only be there for a short time, and after that, the entire Abbott clan will move on to other things. They're sorely lacking in the family dynamics department on this show. The bonds between family members are so lose and hollow.

You're right. I suppose I am more invested in Jill, Nikki, Paul, so I see their decline more. I didn't mean to leave Michael out. I know that he may even have it worse because even though he's not onscreen that often, Kevin is constantly, so people say, "I'm so sick of those Baldwin-Fishers!" like Michael is the star of the show.

You and I might not like Kevin, but he is popular and is considered a viable character on the show.

Judging by what has been going on in the show right now, JT may have more concern for Colleen's death than her own family and he'll become a klepto and a man whore. I'm sure they are going to have Billy mourn her the longest.

Oh, I don't disagree that the idiots in charge consider Kevin to be a viable character, or else he wouldn't always be on the frontburner in some inane, cliche, and nonsensical storyline. They seem to really like the character, but they have no idea how to write for him. Then again, who do they know how to write for?

:lol:

Watch Colleen's death be a plot point in breaking up JT and Bortoria.

And doesn't everything have to be about Billy on this show with these hack writers?

When people say they are tired of the Fisher-Baldwins I don't think they mean to include Micheal, Lauren, or even Kevin in that. It's mainly Gloria and it doesn't help that she and her husband are going to worm their way into multiple storylines this fall.

That's sad considering they could just had JT get his personality back and that would have caused problems for Victoria. Honestly, Jolleen as a couple haven't worked in years. Even if LF came back whos to say she and Thad would have the same chemistry. So I'm hoping there is some good fallout from her exit.

Why on earth would they be waiting to find out that Sursok will be filming again when they are supposedly weeks ahead in filming these scenes? Plus, they've not given her anything much to do except prop everyone else up.

Does it seem like they will be using the vets even less and the younger crowd even more: the Scooby gang, Lily, Cane, Billy, Chloe, and so on? I wouldn't be surprised at all by this, look what GH has done which I'm actually starting to like more now than Y&R... never thought I'd say that! You are probably right about using Colleen's death to break up JT & Vikki. They should pair JT with Heather.

Why do they need to pair JT with anyone so soon? We criticize Lily for jumping from one relationship to another. When was the last time JT had a storyline that wasn't a romance? Has he had a storyline that wasn't a romance? Please don't say the singing career, I always thought that was part of the Jolleen story.

Heather is also now recurring, so a Heather and JT pairing would be as useless as the current JT and Victoria pairing...

You know they won't devote any real screen time to that pairing, especially one that is just beginning or has anything resembling an ounce of romantic depth. Y&R must be cheap sex and adultery all the time, according to this writing regime.

ITA. They don't know the meaning of the word romance. But just thinking about ANY pairing being written good is painful for me because I know other writers can handle it, but not this bunch of hacks.

Monday: Heather and JT argue and have sex on her office couch!

Tuesday: Victoria walks in on JT buttoning his shirt. She's shocked!

Wednesday-next Thursday: Other stuff that has nothing to do with the story.

Next Friday: Victoria and JT are divorced.

Monday: The role of Heather is now being played by Eva Marcille...

      In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it.

      I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway.

      @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'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.

      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.

      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.
