I'm so tired of Sheila - hopefully she might be killed off for good this time!

And, I love Gloria - Judith Chapman is a standout performer and has made the role her own. I can't think of a better mother/son team than Gloria, Mikey and Kevin.

The faster Sharon finds out, the faster we can get back to the HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Nick and Phyllis action!!!

Time to make the donuts!!!!

I'm sorry but Tom was way more complex than Sheila could ever be. Sure he beat Kevin, but Roscoe as Tom gave the character so many different layers. Sheila just came off as really one dimensional IMO.

What the hell?! Its January 1, not April 1!!!!

Sheila was one-dimensional, on this go, due to hack of the year, I mean, headwriter Jack Smith. Tom, far less so. Nothing to blame on the actors, they're both high caliber and I've enjoyed both characters, off performance alone. This story was butchered, unfortunately.

But if shelia had stayed then they would have Declawed her but i suppose thats normal. I mean she couldnt be a villian and still stay on. In fact Y&R has no villians now

Only under Smith. Plenty of villains on any show stick around. Gotta love extenuating circumstances. Gotta hate Jack Smith.

Yeah but shelia would have needed to be redeemed LOL because with all the stuff that shes done the police just wouldnt let her run around for years. Characters like Helena can get away with that because she pops up and then goes into hiding.

They could have used Lauren's change of heart towards her as a start

Again, that was all Smith. Sheila was all redeemed and suddenly he made her do more. She only have did stuff in the past to retaliate. It was pointless. Stupid hack.

I wish they'd kick Jack Smith out on his ass, and make Edward J. Scott EP again......

Everybody wants Jack Smith OUT!

Ed Scott is EP. Jack Smith is just not a good headwriter, period. I say they take a chance and get newblood to run the show.

PM me CBS execs if you're interested

Jack Smith is EP isn't he? I thought he was EP and co-headwriter

But yeah Smith is not a good writer. He's been shredding the show limb from limb since he got here, with one story after another. He needs out.

What the hell?! Its January 1, not April 1!!!!

Nope, it's not April 1 at all. IMO, it was pretty easy to see what character should have been salvaged and what one shouldn't. That choice was easily seen by reading some of the posts and magazine polls, as well as the rumors going around that KB wasn't pleased with the storyline or the writing for the character and wanted to leave.

Here are the credits from the CBS website. I'm not quite sure what the difference between Executive Producer (Jack Smith) and Supervising Producer (Ed Scott) might be, but why the hell is Jack Smith both EP and HW? Sheesh!
