I thought Jana had the potential to be interesting, then she got stuck the charisma-less one.

He's the kind of character that became really popular during the late 90's, early 00's. The anti-hero and plus he looks like he was related to Micheal.

He has Scottie Pippen to thank for his job.

Jana was a victim of a really bad Kevin-Chloe propping, one of those really horrible character assassination storylines.

Yup and I remember rooting for her simply cause it irked me that she had to prop this lame couple. Then they brought in Angelina to be their obstacle but DD managed to make that character endearing and she ended up looking the most mature in the end. I swear having all 3 of these women clamoring for Kevin was ridiculous. TPTB love them some GR.

Does anyone think that TPTB are leaving Chloe and Kevin intact because they think they will work? Or because they don't know what to do with them otherwise? Of course, there is the other alternative...

All I can say is GR loves this pairing and TPTB love him. Plus there's no other woman to pair Kevin with. Chloe has other options and EH definitely shows interest in other pairings. JG's lame Bonnie & Clyde plan for this couple won't help matters.

I like Elizabeth Hendrickson and think she has been wasted other than when she was paired with Billy and Ronan. However, I will never understand how Kevin Rickaart has stayed on the show for so many years. He must be screwing someone or the nicest person on the planet because Kevin is one of the most un-sexy weird looking male characters that I have ever seen on Y&R.

He's definitely un-sexy and the character is just tired. These silly hijinks stories of his got old years ago. As for EH, I dunno who to pair her with but Chloe needs to go back to being the stylish b!tch that worked at Jabot. For the love of God, do something with that hair also.

The only reason I sit through Lame scenes

Saw this elsewhere. Hope she gave up on trying to push a stripper storyline

The whole effing problem is they never really EXPLORED the relationship, and resentment between Chloe and her mother. Hell, Kate Linder could use more screen time, there was all KINDS of emotional baggage to mine in that relationship, but they won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Why, I'll never know. Oh well... when I get upset, I just go to youtube and watch bits of real drama and good writing. Of course, you then realize just how far this show has fallen.

Oh yay Christel. Let's objectify women further on soaps -- and black women at that -- by doing a grody stripper SL. That is a really painful-looking camera angle BTW. Also: isn't stripping and whatnot against her "Crishtian" beliefs? I know my local priest wouldn't be particularly psyched if the young girls in his congregation turned to pole dancing.

Can you imagine the cringeworthy dialogue in a story like this? Neil and Leslie go to dinner and accidentally show up at the strip joint (they thought "strip" referred to a loin of beef), and Neil spots his princess grinding against a pole to some Nicki Minaj song?

Neil: OMG! Cover my eyes! My eyes! I'm scarred for life! Lily, we raised you better than this!

Lily: Like, OMG! You totally ruined my dance segment, daaaaaaaad!

Tyler (stuffs a $20 bill in Lily's g-string): Hey, girl. Gimme another private dance.

Neil: Does Cane know about this?!

Lily: I'm doing this FOR Cane, daddy. He has an incurable disease and this is, like, the only way to pay for it. That and selling Humphrey for his fur. Also, I am a grown WOMMIN making her own, like, choices! Stop treating me like a baby, daaaad! You're so old-fa-SHINNED.

Also: yeah, Greg Rikaart needs to go. His SLs have been massive fails for years. I think that part of his staying power is due to his Emmy wins and to his mentor, CLB, though.

Cheer up, Cat - at least Neil won't find out he's not biologically related to Malcolm or Lily and suddenly begin lusting after her.

Right. That'll only happen after Bradley Bell becomes HW of Y&R.

You've already forgotten the Devon/Tyra story. Such a masterpiece.

I had forgotten that ground-breaking exercise in character assassination. There was a point in the midst of doppelgangergate a few years later (specifically Sarah Smythe/Patty as Dr. Pee) when I wished Nina and Tyra would come back and we could have some relatively normal SLs.

I never would be able to stomach Lily working the pole. I'm so glad none of the writers agreed to incorporate her Sunday hobbie into the show.

Wait, that is Christel Khalil on a stripper pole? I could not even figure what the picture was about.

I'm "praying for her" that she hasn't done herself an injury. One of her hamstrings looks painfully contorted in that picture
