What episodes are to be shown? Where is the holiday schedule at?

On Thanksgiving, the repeat will be Lauren and Michael's wedding from December 2005. This show will not air on the west coast.

On Friday, it will be a repeat of Michael's "It's a Wonderful Life" episode from Dec 26, 2008.

And you know Lauren would not be the last vet killed or written off.

Patty Jane will kill Paul after escaping from the mental hospital.

Watch.

Goodness there are all sorts of rumors flying for early 2010...God I don't want to see what happens next...

I think the newer fans might be apathetic about a Lauren death, but fans who have been around awhile will be upset if Lauren is killed off, and there is no reason to kill her off. She is recurring, a fan favorite and talented. They need to stop pushing their mediocre hires in favor of proven fan favorites. Do they actually think fans would prefer to see characters like Daisy and Ryder over Lauren?

I think they actually do, as sad as that is. I think they believe fans will prefer those names, and if they don't like it, too bad. There's a real lack of respect for Y&R's history and generally for any storytelling quality whatsoever. They think they can just do these shock value stunts and who cares about the rest.

I'm sorry that the past few years have made people less likely to remember just how great Lauren can be. I saw a comment saying they wouldn't mind seeing her go because they don't like her hair. I guess, to some viewers, that really is all Lauren is at this point.

Ah, no fun. But I figured it out...a gay affair between Victor and Jack, LOL. One could argue that's why they've been sniffing around each other all these years.

ROFL....now that would be interesting. I can see them now, fighting for the left side of the bed!! Victor, I am taking the left side of the bed, YOU GOT THAT!!! And Jack will just do that thing he does with his lip and say OKAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I was going to add something else but no I won't do it!!

But NO, that is not it - when it happens everyone will know.

Lauren truly was a powerhouse back in the day so much she graced both Y&R and B&B. She had quite the edge and could really be cruel and mean. Some have suggested that both Shawn and Shelia's torment of her was punishment for being a mega-you know what but she also proved herself to be a leading lady during those storylines.

She still has it when they do give her the material. She is the only supporting actress who has earned emmy nominations for Y&R these past five years. She earned the first one for the 2006 emmys (M & L's romance and engangement) and another for the 2008 emmys (Sheila as Phyllis story). The problem is under MAB, she is not one of her favorites for whatever reason and we know Sheffer doesn't like vets so she is sorta screwed. Bill Bell and Jack Smith loved her. LML seemed to like her as a significant supporting player but under MAB she has disapppeared for months at a time. You can say it is budget reasons, but at the same time MAB has added a whole bunch of actors, some returning vets and other newbies who get airtime.

As for this Kevin-Ryder-Gina spoiler. I thought it was completely nuts but with Kevin turning his back on Lauren and Michael and everyone being suspicious of Ryder except for Kevin I can now see them sacrificing Gina to make Ryder look better in their eyes. It will be such a shame if they actually do this to Gina.

Frankly, it is not that hard at all to understand why MAB has not written for the Lauren character until now...not hard at all. I think "people" who should have caught on have now caught on. I am very eager to see if some of these so-called spumors have legs.

Maybe I am dense, but I don't understand why MAB has not written for Lauren. It can't just be an age thing because she uses other older vets. It can't just be a money thing because she keeps hiring more and more characters. Maybe you can enlighten me beyond Michael and Lauren are happily married and they are over 40. They can always give them problems if that is the issue.

Unless, MAB has something against Tracey Bregman personally, I can't see the reasoning beyond the fact she has her favorites and they don't include anyone in the Baldwin-Fishers except Kevin and Jana by association. Same thing can be said for the Winters except for Lily. As for Lily, I don't know if she likes her or just feels obligated to write for her because of Lily and Cane's vocal fanbase.

I actually think the fact that they're showing two 'Likey'-centric Holiday episodes is encouraging. Why prop this couple if they're planning on killing off half of it? It would make no sense.

I'd be okay with Lauren dying if there hadn't already been two major deaths in the last year. I'm still far from convinced it will happen though.

To make viewers care, without actually having to waste any airtime building Lauren up.

Weird I had dream that a psychotic Christine came back wearing a really bad wig last night. Too much leftover stuffing and pumpkin pie...
