Y&R: MAB OUT! Hamner OUT! JFP IN! Griffith IN! Sheffer UNKNOWN!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

If only because she doesn't give a f.uck about catering to fanbases or divas.

With Steven Kent at Sony trusting her, we better believe that Jill will yield a ton of power at this show.

[Mr. Vixen]

Mark Collier as Nick Newman? Robin Christopher as Victoria Newman? Sounds like a happy SON board to me.

[JaneAusten]

That's untrue. Frankly her recent stints on GH were unmemorable and that was with JFP at the helm.

If she's there to cut cost I don't see her replacing an expensive popular vet with another. I could see her bringing RC in in a short term capacity in another unknown role.

[Mr. Vixen]

Her recent stints may have been unmemorable, but doesn't that just speak to how willing JFP is to bring her back? The first time they literally brought Skye back for NO reason other than that RC wanted to return. The second time Skye actually had something to do, but still. I think this proves my point.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

She'd probably bring her on as Patty, and make sure that overrated Stacy Haiduk never shows up again...

[DeeeDee]

Which is for the best.

The desperation over the Robin casting is hilarious though.

[Mr. Vixen]

Hey that might not be bad. Robin Christopher would probably play crazy very well.

[Vizion]

I really liked Brenda and I thought she made Ashley into a much warmer and more relatable character. Plus, it was Brenda that was playing Ashley during the height of Jack/Nikki/Victor/Ashley and when Y&R grabbed the #1 spot. I don't know how much Griffith likes the character either, but I think it would be great to have her back.

Jill and NLG are actually very good friends, she'd probably fall into the FOJ category (though not in the same vein as Mark Derwin, Kale Browne, Tim Gibbs, and others)

[Mr. Vixen]

The desperation for her to be cast, or for her not to be cast?

I only ask because I'm really just joking. While I wouldn't be surprised if RC turns up, I'm not truthfully expecting any of this, lol.

[JaneAusten]

What you said was JFP would give her any role and I don't agree. She isn't going to recast her as Nikki or even Phyllis or Victoria and frankly recasting those roles wouldn't be popular and I include AH in that. She could recast someone who's been gone for a while or bring her on as someone short term who's a new character.

[jjjg]

I'm just happy MAB is gone.

May be new writers and JFP can make this show watchable again. Everything dating back to the New Orleans location shoot needs to be made a dream.

[DeeeDee]

Not to be cast.

She's getting the Maura treatment.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

When DAYS is canceled, Eileen will be back at Y&R for its final year or so on the air. I'm betting on it.

[juniorz1]

You're getting warmer....

He should have been cast as Sam. Maybe the character and story would have taken off with him in the part.

Hell, I'd take Mark Collier IN as Cane at this point.

Seriously, though, if they keep Sharon Case, I always thought it would be interesting to bring Cassie's bio dad onto the canvas. There's your Mark Collier or Grayson McCouch role.

[DeeeDee]

He's dead.
