thats only in recent years. There was a time where Ridge and Taylor were very viable

To answer your question, of course Victor and Nikki werent the only ones. I would add:

PC: Scott/Lucy, Kevin

PSSNS: Fox/Theresa, Ethan

AMC: Erica and countless men in between Jack

Alas, another year starts that we're under the reign of MAB/Sheffer/Hamner and Co. Maybe there will be a change this year?

Obviously from today's episode not much has changed. Pretty much the first episode of 2012 had all the elements that made 2009, 2010, and 2011 all so bad.

In the past couple weeks I've seen this spumor on a couple different message boards, sounds about right for Hogan:

Then again I think it's probably false, too much airtime for AA charactersph34r.png

I can't do the hiden spoiler thing but would she really need to do that. I mean she co owner of the record company. All she got to do is make, work time for them. Like bringing him talent. & since Roxy isn't on that much, would it really be that hard for her to get close to Devon.

Spoke too soon. This show is a the world's biggest borefest. Not quite as shiteous as GH but so damn close. And why is nobody doing something about it?! A part of my brain still finds it inconceiveable that Y&R -- which used to listen to its fans so assiduously and gave them what they needed even if it wasn't necessarily what they were clamoring for -- just will not make the changes necessary to fix the show. Both behind the scenes and front-and-center. They really hate our guts (and their jobs), don't they?

Sigh.

I don't think they care. They probably feel they've made the money they are going to make from the show, and it's time to kill the show.

Sheffer and Hamner are probably thrilled, as they get to write their usual tripe, with no limitations.

If rumors are true, MAB is rarely even around, and she only seems to make decisions on ego or spite.

They also know that all they have to do is push the right button and the fawning starts all over again (anything with Bacteria, or the latest stunt casting, or "Shadam").

Bacteria or Villy or whateverthehell they are calling that stuporcouple these days is a boring piece of over-hyped, under-written nonsense. Not helped by the show's most miscast character (FauxToria) adrift in a sea of miscast characters. Shadam has more dynamism in terms of the actors' chemistry with one another, but the whole relationship is so wrong and inappropriate on so many levels. Every pairing on this show is awful -- did anybody catch the horror that was Lame last week? Dear God. I'd rather watch Murphy and Katherine rut like rabbits than those two.

Swear to God, I thought I would be watching GH until the bitter end, but I called time on that monstrosity months ago. I am about ready to throw in the towel with Y&R, too, and Days which is doing nothing for me at the moment. All that is left is B&B. Who'd have thunk it? Sad just thinking about how little I care about these shows now.

Or round 500 of Nick and Phyllis. Seriously how can any couple on this show be remotely rootable or interesting when the writing is so so dreadful. I soap press, bloggers fawn over Villy and Phick and even Sharon/Adam.And its pathetic when Lily and Cane are actually the most rootable

The only part of Y&R that is entertaining has been Nikki/MTS and I cant even say why but the moment she reappeared, her mere presence uplifted the show. Its the same impact Laura/GF had once upon a time on GH.

      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.

      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.
