I totally agree! I hate this joker to.He seems to really enjoy hurting people and that's sick. I would like to see everyone that's he has hurt gather together and and give this weasel a taste of his own medicine.Just once just once I would like to see him squirm.

Abby is so stupid. Of course when you act as "The Naked Heiress" people are going to think that's how you're like.

Katherine, sit your ass down, please.

Lauren is acting like Nick and Victoria when they first meet Adam. Micheal's testimony is making Jill look like sympathetic and Lauren into a selfish brat (the smug look on her face doesn't help)

It takes Nina, Cricket, and Paul decades to find the long lost child and it takes Chloe less than six months to do so.

Maybe if Ashley was a dumb, young, hot thing like Sharon she people would care.

That was bad. When his Adam fired everyone I didn't feel sorry for them. It wasn't until he put Zapato in the kennel that I hated him a little. Muhney's Adam is loved for being sarcastic, but Engen's Adam was sarcastic too. I remember this quip "Your just a rent a cop in a nice suit".

If CE were still in the role, Adam would be gone by now.

Do you think they purposely made John Driscoll look like sh!t today so fans will not miss him when he's gone?

Ronin sucks. Doesn't help that I hate Jeff Branson & his droll line delivery.

I hate Heather.

Liked the Jill/Lauren stuff sorta. Team Jill, of course.

Christine is still annoying. Why must they have her kissing Paul? I do NOT want to see Nina & the Bug do battle over Dudley Do-Right Sr.

It's really, really, reallllllly lame that Daniel has moved on from Amber to Abby, who's basically Amber 2.0. For Pete's sake, they're even using PORN to introduce them as a couple. Are you freaking kidding me?

Chloe is pretty without makeup.

That is all.

The really odd thing is the song didn't exactly fit what was happening. blink.gif That montage was a huge WTF to me.

Are we really sure she's trying to? If so, having Adam sue Ashley for mental anguish is a strange way to go about it. I mean, damn. He's having mercy on Sharon because little Adam is fond of her, but he's dragging a very vulnerable Ashley through the mud. Not exactly the action of a hero. Really Ashley has had to mourn the loss of two daughters thanks to Adam. First the baby that died and then the loss of Faith. It's two completely different losses, which I don't think the writers have allowed Ashley to address or flesh out.

All showing Hope did for me was prove that Adam had no real reason to go off the rails the way he did. I did like seeing her though and I think MM did well in their scenes.

The Hallelujah montage is just the latest of "Look we're going to be clever by doing what everyone else already did and did better." Which makes up most of Y&R these days.

I think they are going to try to straddle the line with Adam, he's never going to look too sympathetic because of Nick and Victor, but they might use the opportunity to try to make people forget the specifics of what he did to Ashley.

I've always wondered why Joanna never turned out to be a bigger character on Y&R, given Susan's popularity at DAYS and Bell's likely fondness for SSH (he did offer her the lead role on B&B ). Was she not popular with fans, or did she not want any type of major role on Y&R?

I didn't even know Lauren had a mother for most of the time I regularly watched Y&R. By the time she returned I was back to infrequent watching.

    • Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
