Well I guess MAB/Sheffer/Hamner are getting fun out of another fake death and "honoring" history while doing it. I guess this is leading into Sharon's new story and not be spoilerish about it I'm glad its happening.

Phick on the other hand doesn't need to be happening. Jack and that girl was just dumb.

Nikki and MTS' hair :wub:

I thought Thursday and Friday's eppys were better writing for Diane. She finally showed some spine, snark and spark.

Now that Phyllis is back to her trampy ways, I think I could be happy with a Jack and Diane redux.

Oh, and I thought MTS looked fantastic.

So what demos and viewers are MAB and CO actually aimng for showing the over the hill 70 plus victor in sex scenes they are beyoud vomit inducing.

EB is to old to be doing sex scenes the scenes are awkward and uncomforable.:closedeyes: EB no longer has any romantic chemistry with either MTS or MW.

MTS does look good :wub: and it does look like the rumored nikki/jack hook up will happen .

There are no words to describe the yucky Phick scenes.

I really hope Jack is done with Phyllis this time around. He'd look like a damn fool to go back to her for doing the same thing she did last time they were together...I would love for Nikki and Jack to rekindle..And my god how great does MTS look these days?

Thank god the writers are finally giving Maura's Diane a little more spunk and backbone.

Having seen today's US episode, I think this is the first time I have liked/been invested in something Sharon has done in... well, forever. First of all, she looks really good with her hair a more natural chestnut. Secondly, she does a lot with very little dialogue. Thirdly, she actually has some balls and is driving her own destiny instead of waiting for the men in her life to do it for her. Heck, I even didn't mind the guy playing the vet who finds her in his barn -- the actor didn't overdo it with the local-yokel stuff.

All this made me realize just how badly they decimated the character of Sharon -- just to prop up a certain other character. Yes, I know it must seem like I have an anti-Phyllis agenda (and to a certain extent I do -- I just cannot stomach her. Especially when she does all that low-voiced, heavy-breathing, "sexy" femme fatale stuff with Nick). But sometimes it does not seem like coincidence that one character is propped to high heaven as Y&R's Ballsy Female Icon Everyone Must Love while the other is reduced to "Sharon the Slut." Witness MS's over-the-top anger whenever somebody like Michael Logan dares to jokingly bring up with her some of the [!@#$%^&*] Phyllis has pulled over the years. And, no, I am not some aggrieved Shick fan still fuming about "the affair." I was never interested in Shick as a pairing. They always were a little cookie-cutter to me.

Honestly, Sharon would be better off out of Genoa City, away from her self-righteous son, ex-husband and mother. I can't believe I am saying this but Sharon's mother's reaction to her death really bothers me. Her whole attitude is a little "Oh, well. She's better off dead. Perhaps that'll teach Adam a lesson" even though she actually didn't come right out and say that.

The fact that everybody wants to congregate at Grambo's house "to be with each other right now" and are running over themselves to hug the a$$hole indirectly responsible for Sharon's "death" is another mind-blowing piece of egregious character-propping. Honestly, Y&R might be somewhat more watchable if EB hadn't renewed his contract after all.

    • 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
