Who is saying it should be cancelled?

Jane, just about every week certain posters trash Y&R in the ratings threads and predict and/or hope for a 2014 cancellation (which is when its contract is up for renewal). Here's an entire thread that was once devoted to this subject:

I can certainly understand why Y&R is expected to be of a higher quality than its competitors (given that it was considered the gold standard for many years), but I believe that the criticism that some have given this show is really over-the-top. I didn't watched Y&R during its heyday, but it still is better than B&B, DOOL, and GH, as well as AMC, ATWT, GL, and OLTL right before they were cancelled.

Honestly, I never had any interest in this soap before all reading all the negative comments. I tuned in out of curiousity, and discovered it was actually pretty good (at least when compared to the quality of the other soaps over the past five years).

I agree especially with overhyped azz OLTL on the list , it's not where it should be but it has it's times where it runs good and then like two weeks later I'm bored

At least they're still keeping this standard up.

Ok lmao.

Who is Leslie?

Black Avery

Black Avery

I much prefer Leslie over Avery IMHP.

I like Leslie a lot...even though her love scene w/Neil the sound effects the oohing-aahing I was cracking up.

Frequentsoapfan, I totally agree with your assessment about Cartini's OLTL. There were times when it was really good, but mediocrity and boredom would soon follow. I also felt that OLTL's most talented actors were usually backburnered. At least with MAB's Y&R, talented vets like EB, PB, MTS, and SC still seem to be central to the show.

Black Avery

How is she Black Avery? She was here before Avery was

Exactly.

Avery is White Leslie.

Y&R has destroyed Victor and Sharon (not much left to destroy of Jack). It's nice to write for veterans but actually doing a good job of it would be better. I don't think anyone at Y&R actually cares about Sharon - only her lady parts.

Exactly.

Avery is White Leslie.

Yep! I also don't find Avery interesting.
