Members soapfan770 Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Regarding that 2002 ratings drop--I would read these two columns about Y&R at that time: The first comes from March 2002, when Y&R was in a major state of transition and Alden's writing was rather mediocre: http://dimwitt.tripod.com/snark22.html Wouldn't you know that Moore left right in the middle of this mess? Perhaps his exit was the last straw for some, not the single reason. Viewers certainly did not come back when he reappeared in 2004 did they? I don't think so. Secondly, this comes from September 2002: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimmyk311 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Great responses in the thread. And, who would ever thought it would be the future Bells who white out the soaps and can't write at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Too true. But Bill Bell is watching over Maria's "shoulders." and Y&R produces one great scene a month! Who cares if the show sucks overall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 I don't understand why black viewers are leaving. We have CKLily representing the Winters/Baber clan. She got more storyline then all the Winters & Babers put together. She gotten more love interests. She should think her lucky stars she have no siblings, so no swamping for her.

Members Meldus Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 True Lily Winters is a black female character, but it is very doubtful that the majority of viewers view CK as a black actress. Honestly, I pretty much view CKLily as the adoptive child of Neil and Dru, it makes it easier for me to accept her character when I am not ffing through her scenes. People can say that DSLily was a bit rough around the edges, but the girl had mad chemistry with Dru, Neil and Devon. And DS and MG were on fire as Daily. Unfortunately, MG/Daniel hasn't been that interesting or sexy since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Everything in RED YUP YUP. Ditto and Amend! Esp with DS and MG. Why was DS let go in the first place, some refresh my memories please? If we can't have Dru then at least give us DSLily, o wait, I forgot who was writing. Never mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aMLCproduction Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 LMAO love it. Was there an issue the last time you made comments like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oh Yeah, it was a problem when I said the samething. I keep telling people if black viewrrs accpeted CK as Lily the viewers would still be watching. But they said I need a life & all this other stuff. If they can get a Lily that isn't bland & have something more to offer then who she bedding. I'm sure I'll come back to watch Y&R with or without Dru. I just can't stand CkLily. They could have brought her back as another character. Since they loved her so much. I'm sure the viewers wouldn't care if she came back not playing Lily. & DS still was Lily. Matter of fact she should have played Roxanne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 I do remember that who mess Just know I agree with the CKLily/DSLily arguement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 To me it's not even about CK & DS. It's about how could Dru bring back a whiney, needy, nothing going for her daughter but who she bedding. Why isn't she stronger then that? Even when Dru couldn't read she was stronger then CKLily. CkLily has no goals. What does she wants out of life besdies havinmg a baby right now. The way she change her mind so much that baby will be put outside soon.
