Y&R was good up until the fall of 2003 which is really when things began going downhill.

2004 was when almost everything wrong with Y&R currently really began.

Y&R made a HUGE mistake ditching Raul/Brittany for Brittany/Bobby.

Lauren Woodland had much more chemistry with David Lago & Enos/MTS were ridiculously hot together.

And Enos & Woodland had little chemistry & nothing to do (that wasn't purely plot driven) once they were married.

Davetta & Adrianne were perfect (as friends & individual characters).

They were both believable extensions of their parents.

There is NO WAY Khalil's Lily could've ever been raised by Drucilla Barber & Traci's daughter would never be as shallow & vapid as Tammin's Colleen.

I know Vicki has made it known that she thought Christel was all wrong to play her daughter, but were she and her ever civil to one another throughout the time they played mother and daughter together on the show. I have heard lots of things that implied that they didn't get along, but i wasn't sure if that was only because Vicki was mad when they fired davetta and got Christel back so quickly, and Christel took it personally.

I once read something on Vicki's twitter where she said that she wanted Christel to go to some event to honor Black History, and And Christel tried to talk herself out of it, and Vicki had to drag her along..... I'm telling you i just dislike that girl more and more.

Bobby died right? I was reading the interviews for Y&R's 35th anniversary on wikipedia where they interviewed MTS, and they ask her which past character she would like to return and she mentioned Bobby, saying "His character's not dead, so anything is possible" It kind of annoys me that she forgot he died, but in her own word " I barely remember my own storyline"

It was mixed (no pun intended).

Certain people had issue with Davetta's Lily because they felt it was unrealistic that her Lily grew up in Europe (which strangely enough never stopped them from accepting Scottie Pippen's Valley Girl Lily).

Others loved her (her relationship with her family, friends & Daniel).

Victoria never really cared for her.

She always had (valid) issues with Christel but once Christel began being increasingly demanding & acting passive aggressively bitchy about everything Victoria was done with her.

You wouldn't be the only one. :lol:

He "died" but it was off screen.

Which means he can return if Enos & Y&R ever feels like it. :lol:

I'm beginning to think that TPTB are just keeping Christel because they get some pleasure out of us complaining that we can't stand her as Lily :D

Does Tonya Lee feel the same way about Christel as Vicki does?

I don't think the show needs another MAB famous "Resurrection" so Bobby can just stay "dead" :D

I'm interested to know what people thought about the Nikki/Josh/Veronica story, which remains my all-time favorite Y&R story to this day. Candice Daly was genuinely terrifying and the scene where she shot Nikki at the ranch was without question the creepiest thing I have ever seen on a soap opera.

Unfortunately, MAB attempts a story like it at least once a year and fails every time (although Meggie wasn't without her charm).

I really feel for Tonya

I feel like she has dealt with the same BS that they put Vicki through, but she painfully has no choice but to take it

No wonder she looks unhappy everytime she returns to the show, and that B&B appearance= Totally pointless

I thought it was a great story, in part because it was so shocking - Nikki and Josh both being gunned down, Josh dead, Nikki at the brink of death. They'd been stalling for stories for Nikki for years and this story very believably pushed Victor/Nikki back together. I also thought Daly was fantastic and I was very sorry to hear about her death several years ago (I thought it was classy of MTS to say some nice things about her at that time).

    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
