Wow...EVERYONE on Y&R sucks, EXCEPT Billy Miller? I was waiting for an addendum, like, "because he has such a hot a@@" (because he does), but nope, that was it.

For the past three years, I dreamt that a relentlessly miserable GH was written by an Emmy-winning hack.

Three years? The show has been awful to wretched for much longer than that. Ever since Guza's 2002 return, at least.

It's nice to know you you like something about Billy Miller. Even if it's his ass.

I'm sorry but Greg Rikaart is not being wasted (certainly not more than Christian Leblanc), just backburnered.

I was mainly expecting some type of sexual comment because Nelson usually puts those in his writeups.

I like more about Billy Miller than his ass (although that's quite nice). I harp on the flaws because I hate what they've done with the character, but of course the writing is not Miller's fault, and he's been winning me over more lately.

Still, I don't know if anyone would say he is the only bright spot at Y&R.

Billy and Chloe are the only characters that interest me. Billy/Mac and Chloe/Chance better not be the endgame... I want Chilly and I want it now!

You said it Carl! GH became a nightmare under Guza and Pratt in 2002. Even under McTavish when she was at GH was the show not as bad as Guza made it. As much as I loved Wendy Riche at GH, I really, really wished she hired someone else instead of Guza when Labine left and I wish she never created Port Charles. I think those two factors lead the way to what GH became and that has influenced the rest of ABCD.

Exactly.

Which of the two is on ALL the time?

It sure isn't the one with the gold medal in arm gymnastics.

I want Chilly and I want it now!

"Chilly" is so overrated.

I think Chloe/Billy were wrecked when he screwed around with Sharon then immediately fell for Mac again. Chloe was third on his list of priorities. I don't see them ever making a good couple, he just wants what he can't have.

It's interesting that Nelson only mentioned BM and none of his love interests. I wonder if he wants Billy to get a new relationship. I would.

Billy doesn't need a new relationship. At least not before he grows the f.uck up!

IMO Chloe and Billy is not a romantic tale. The dynamic IMO, after the way it has been written from the beginning, does not scream romance. Yes there is chemistry, yes there's a pull between both characters, but the dynamic I felt was always meant to be a bit complicated and dysfunctional. Do I get the sense Y&R heads know what they want Chloe and Billy to be? No. But I have this sense they kno it is not supposed to be romance. How-ever I'm sure they will try to milk a quadrangle or a triangle out of it.
