If this were true it would be troubling. Why create a third uber rich family (four if you count the Newman's, who are being phased out) when the ones on the canvas are so damaged? What a lack of creativity! The Chancellor's have been successfully revamped, they jsut need the right storylines. The Abbott's have gold in Kyle, Keemo, Diane and Dina if they show thought of it. Both could fill any void left by the lack of Victor. Let Jill take his place, but she's a woman so she'd never be given that power on this show.

Just based on the type of history mining stories they've told, they don't need a new family. They need to focus on what they have. The Williams could be re-established as a family unit, but they ruined Patty and are wasting Heather. The Barber-Winters have Olivia, Yolanda, Nate and Mamie sitting on the sidelines. Malcolm is being recast, which is good. If you don't wanna deal with VR, then bring back Vivica A. Fox as Stephanie and let her be that fiesty female character. Her star power would bring good press to the show and she's stated she'd LOVE to return to Y&R or join B&B.

They're not really a family though. They usually have separate storylines and their relationships with each other are no longer explored. Since the show is never going to do anything serious with Jill or with Phillip, and Mac and Chance exist only to be props for Chloe and Billy, that probably won't change.

The show doesn't do family anymore. I guess that's why a new family wouldn't bother me that much, if they actually write them as a family. If that would ever happen...

Hmmm...Chance shot in the line of duty....needs a new heart....Phillip shoots himself in the brain to finally "be there" for his son in a way he never was before. (It worked for Storm Logan on B& B) .

Don't worry, though.

20 years from now, Katherine will reveal: "He quietly bribed a cop with lots of debts to provide him with an extra brain and heart found in a car crash victim in the morgue. He went to Australia to heal, and is good as new. Our P3 is ALIVE!".

ETA: And with the new brain, he is no longer gay. Therefore, he is finally entitled to a front burner storyline on a Bell soap.

WTF is going on with the rumor/spumor mill? This starts to give some credence that the show is feeding "false gossip" to message boards to get people off the scent of real spoilers.

Here is the latest...just message board rumor (no credible source)...but I've never seen them flying fast and furious like this:

Mark, I love your idea. Now let's just make Chance into Robocop :)

This regime seems to spend a lot more time trying to play games with the press, and the fans, than they do actually coming up with a decent show. It's a very cynical group, apparently.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
