Members Max Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 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: http://boards.soapop...__fromsearch__1 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).

Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cyberologist Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 I like Leslie a lot...even though her love scene w/Neil the sound effects the oohing-aahing I was cracking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 How is she Black Avery? She was here before Avery was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 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.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yep! I also don't find Avery interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
