I don't think JT is boring. He just doesn't treat all women like scum, so the show sees him as worthless.

If they want to get rid of boring people, then it would be time to clear out one-note Chompers and his TB-ridden bride, not to mention Kevin, Nick, Ronan, Heather, Sharon...

I think JT is one of the only characters who hasn't been ruined, although I'm sure Y&R will take care of that soon.

If they are looking to get rid of dead weight, my suggestions...I am leaving off the pets (Chloe, Billy, Phyllis) as they are obviously not going to be written out:

Kevin

Jana (love Emily O'Brien though)

Victoria

Nick

Sharon (have Shick reunite and go off canvas for a year -- Morrow can help Sharon Case make jewelry or something until they come back)

Cane

Lily

Heather

Gloria

Daniel

Abby (either recast or send her away long enough to where the age difference between recasts is not as jarring)

Jeffrey

Tucker

Malcolm

Devon (unless they can give him a good story)

Jack (I just do not see a point in this character now -- he makes me feel sad)

That kind of says a lot about how good Y&R has become at making characters irrelevant.

As long as you have Victor, Nikki, Jill, Katherine, Michael, Lauren, Ashley, there's still a lot of dramatic potential. Skye is a potential firecracker, Neil, although I have never been a big fan, has his moment when KSJ gets the opportunity, Roxanne can be the show's first young black heroine in ages who is not stricken and stupefied. I'm sure the show will always come up with tons and tons for Phyllis, Billy, and Chloe, and Adam will still be there to cause trouble. That is enough cast to keep the show going until they learn how to create good characters.

There is a crapload of dead weight. When was the last time Nick did ANYTHING? When was the last time you enjoyed something with Jack? When was the last time seeing Sharon didn't make you shake your head?

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. 
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
