If this is true we'll know soon enough. BTW, Daytime Confidential said they looked into the rumors and are hearing the same thing. Kenny from Daytime Royalty (and SON occasionally) who has broke many stories said it's true as well. Their joint exit (said to be filled with flashbacks) is set for Nov. 2nd or 4th, I forget the exact date. We'll know within two or three weeks if they're 100% leaving the show. Sad time to be a Y&R fan.

This doesn't even really seem like a proper exit, especially after all these years. And Nikki, who I always loved so much as a character in her own right, is leaving as nothing more than Victor's enabler.

Remember when we were supposed to celebrate Nikki's independence and be so happy that she was finally out on her own? Yeah, just another con job from this team. Thanks so much, Sony, MAB, etc. for continuing to take away what made this show special :(

Color me shocked..................NOT!!!

This is what happens when the #1 show loses millions of viewers. becomes the laughing stock of soaps with atrocious writing almost Passions like (damn we didnt even get and Emmy Nom).

CBS/Sony has pulled rank, and no actor has any bargaining power thanks to MAB and crew

I find it so hard to believe that CBS/Sony would allow Y&R to lose two of its most popular actors. I have a strange feeling that CBS/Sony is preparing for the end in 2011 when the current contract is over.

*sigh* I know that Day's ratings rose after John and Marlena left, but does that really mean that a soap that gets an average rating of around 3.5 should take lessons from a soap that gets 2.2's? Shouldn't Y&R think that maybe they are the ones who have been doing it right by having a stable cast all these years?

    • That'a an interesting comparison, and might be a parallel.  But i also know too little about sports  to really comment on it's accuracy.  It might have something to do with a "closed" system, and the consuming nature of producing or writing a daytime drama and coaching.  Both in football and daytime, those factors make it hard for new talent to break into the system.  And even a very talented coach or daytime writer or executive producer can only do one team (or one show) at a time, limiting that person's impact on the entire system.
    • Despite most of John’s family not being in this episode, I like that the ripple effects of his death are still being felt across Salem.  Welcome back, Jack and Jennifer!  I really enjoyed their scenes with Julie. Little family moments like that on soaps are always a good thing. And I agree, Julie. As great as it is to see everybody, I wish it was for a better occasion too.  I’m glad that we finally got Tate’s POV regarding John, though his scene with Cat did seem a little random. But I love that Holly rushed to the apartment to comfort him after she found out about John. Despite everything and despite the chemistry that they have with other characters, I like the two of them together. Btw, is Cat looking so closely at the pictures of John and Sami going to mean something in the future? Her date with Chad seemed a little unnecessary though.  I also do like the idea of Ari and Holly being friends, mostly because of the mess that it could lead to with Doug III. Tying that mess together with Tate, Sophia, the baby and the guy stalking Doug III could all be pretty good. And yeah, we really should’ve seen Ari talking to Will about John. Hopefully, they have scenes together coming up. And also, Doug III still needs someone much better to confide in about his problems  Speaking of that someone, we’re really lucky that Ron was sent packing before John’s death was written because y’all know that if Ron was writing it, Leo would’ve been front and center in all of this, and comforting his “bestie” Marlena

      His scenes with Jack were unnecessary too. Honestly, Jack should be beating the holy hell out of him for what he did to Gwen.  And, I’m really interested in the mystery of who Gabi heard EJ arguing with the night he was shot. I don’t think it was Johnny. 
    • Remember when we used to talk about homoerotic subtext on GH? Like this Bromance? Sonny & Jason! I remain somewhat amazed that ABC used it as a promo https://www.instagram.com/p/DH3fKzjJyy4/  
    • To be honest, moving Murder, She Wrote to Thursdays probably did seem like a good attempt at counterprogramming (they did the same thing with some success with Diagnosis: Murder the next season). They had hoped it would appeal to a different audience to the Friends juggernaut and wouldn't crash in the way it did. They also programmed Mary Tyler Moore's new show after it, so they clearly went with a "vibe" for the evening. With that said, I think MSW just have that end of the weekend vibe. Something you'd cosy up on Sunday evening while preparing for a new dreaded week.

    • I recall someone suggesting that football coaches have the same kind of situation where people who are clearly NOT good at the job get rehired over & over. I don't begin to know enough about that sport to evaluate this as a truth or not. But, I do hate how much damage it has accounted for in soaps.
    • Today’s episode was the first time Sasha’s been interesting since the one-night stand with Michael. 
    • She had two Hannah Swensen movies and a Christmas movie released since this was recorded in September (?). So yeah, I'd assume Alison was just booked and busy when these episodes were recorded sadly. 
    • But why is everybody telling the attempted murderer that they have evidence of her attempting to murder someone lol is Leslie gonna target Andre or Shanice now?  I did kinda feel bad for Hayley though. It makes me think something may happen as a result of her realizing that Dani is always going to be a part of her and Bill’s lives
