Any longtime Y&R fans here? I tuned back into watch EOB but also because I was reading how much improved the show was. I can't say I see it but thats me. It seems to be moving closer and closer to an ABC soap and less like itself. And not being a Billy or Victoria fan now I guess just makes it worse.

You're in the right place - many here have watched since the 70's. I'm new to the game...I've only been watching since around 1989/1990.

I posted a Y&R tribute thread with a fair amount of stuff in it if you want to read any.

Well I like Dr. Fresh Meat lol Color me shocked, seriously. I like Sharon away from those Newman asses. I am a Sharon fan first when it comes to Y&R. Always have been, always will be. Phyllis coming to the funeral was horrible. And her snickering at the funeral was so trashy and tactless but that's Giggly for you - pathetic as the day is long. Phyllis is PATHETIC. I hate her so much. But I say contain her with non-acting Nick and then "Sherry" can be free. Oh and just kill babynapper Adam and many of my problems are solved in re: to this show.

:D Dang that was funny I watched it two times he as much as called Nicky a ho and a drunk really liked MST reaction scenes to it

he gave them all a beat down roasted Nick's ass I like all the characters but it was a good watch ...it was well worth the eppy..I too like EOB

I just don't understand writers who run out of material for characters I mean I can think of story for Emily. A new face in an old story doesn't

make it new for me but for some writers it does.

I agree, I am actually enjoying Y&R the last couple days. I think the whole Jana thing is exciting even though its terrible they had to ruin her to make this storyline work, but whatever.... I thought the Nikki and Jill scenes were great when she was the only one that caught on that Nikki was late getting to Billy's house. Plus i always like it when they get most of the cast together to get involve in this story. So yeah good job Y&R and GASP!.... Im actually kind of looking forward to tommorrow.

Just gotta say. Was I the only one that thought Michelle Stafford's eyes looked batshit crazy as Phyllis kept saying over and over [regarding Lucy], "she's our, she's ours". I would love for Phyllis to return to her crazy roots so the writers stop trying to sell her as a romantic heroine.

    • 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.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
