Claire Labine while a good writer could be too PSA alot. I enjoyed 90s Y&R much more than 90s GH which could be boring. Stories were heartfelt and sad but I do not watch soaps for PSAs and one heartache after another gets kind of tiring. They were all well written but I like the excitement too. Those characters that are bad but get called out for their bad behavior and no one tries to reform them. Y&R has so many strong characters back then and the women were watered down like they are now. Y&R needs some heart back into it but I wouldn't want every week to be a tragedy.

JFP could use a Claire Labine if she's insistent on telling more stories centered around teens. Robin and Stone was one of the last great storylines that happened to be about teens which transcended age/demos. I don't think anyone minds seeing stories about Young people, it's just the utter lack of quality of these storylines in most cases, and the fact that it isn't necessary to scrap vets and/or give them crap storylines just to make room for more crap newbies and their crap storylines.

I keep seeing this article quoted on other baords as if it's gospel or well written. The MAB bias alone is enough to write it off.

This is the most pathetically obvious fabricated piece of trash I've ever read and anyone who believes it is as dumb as MAB.

He's Team MAB and MAB had no knowledge of her ouster. What does that tell you about this guys knowledge? I highly doubt he knows anything about JFP's plans.

There's such a vacuum of real information in the online soapverse that any !@#$%^&*] with a computer gets treated like they're legitimate.

It also says what people want to hear.
