As much as I'm not impressed by Nick/JM....at least it would be better than watching the endless Shadam/Phack gagworthy "we wuv, let's celebrate" convo's.

I will say, Maura looked good today. Y&R's wardrobe department needs to learn to use patterns sparingly on her.

MTS looks good today too. And that line to Chloe about heartless bastards was hilarious.

Cassie's Death might have been Sharon Case's best work, but I think the Emmy nominating committee recognized it for what it was: killing off a character, with endless long term potential, just to get Jack A$$ Smith's favorite PET, HER Emmy. I can see why they didn't want to reward that crap. If we are even more unlucky (then we are now) MAB will pull a story out of her butt that Cassie is really alive and somehow faked her own death all those years ago to get out from under Bossy Sharon's rule.

I have been avoiding this train wreck of a show but have managed to turn in for a few fun moments:

1. Jill's new boyfriend standing up to the ultimate old cow Kay wearing a pink satin bath robe. I love him, is there a channel where I can just watch him and Jill? That alone should qualify him for a lead actor Emmy and I hope he did submit. This is the lead role they were mistakenly hoping Stephen Nichol's would fill.

2. CK pathetically trying to act over Cane's dead body until Jess gets there to show her how its done. I had to go to utube after reading this thread to see her throwing her precious babies down the stairs, avoiding bullets to Opera Music. I can't remember when I laughed so hard. Maybe Y&R should film before a live studio audience and air this show with their lame ass Comedies.

So was the scene with Victor and the teddy bears for Faith and Summer, just a reminder of how Vic the dick will never care for his other granddaughter Lucy? (adoptive or not?) Okay i have a challenge for someone.... Can someone list all the times Victor has gotten some sort of payback in his life? I know it will be a short list but i'm starting to get curious.... Mine is:

He was in Jail a Few times

John Abbott punched the living s*it out of him.

Sud report says Y&R is casting a cowboy type 35-45 yrs of age who likes life simple and works with his hands as Lilly's new man. Looks like Hogan is about to recycle old ATWT scripts--sad!

Starting to think all writers should step aside after 2 or 3 years MAX. Half the soap industry has worked longer than Mubarak.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
