Y&R

- I like some (not all) of JFP's new background music and hope they continue to mix the old with the new.

- I've liked Blake Hood as Kyle since day one.

- Amelia Heinle has been doing a great job lately.

- I'm not opposed to Steve Burton joining the show.

B&B

- Ridge's absence has left a much bigger void than Stephanie's.

Yeah. It's been confirmed by another message board (SOC) that he's returning. It's a sticky on the GH board that JL, KS, and JW are returning all around the same time.

Speaking of OLTL UOs, I thought that Roscoe Born as Messenger Mitch was sexy as hell...

(I'll go hide underneath a rock, now...)

I do too. Roscoe is just hot in general.

He's returning? Thats been confirmed? Besides I dont think thats much of an UO. Frisco's a hasbeen

There is really no point in him returning. Just like there was no point in making Georgie biologically his when he ran off never to return again. What's he gonna do in town now? Stomp over Mac again? And we'll have to listen to KS's shrieking.

Exactly. What point is there? If he's just here for Felicia to lust after for a few days and to make it look like she "settled" for Mac, then no thank you.

They really should have killed Frisco off the last time he was on the show. Maxie's illness should have been used to redeem him. Have him make ammends with both she and Felicia. He leaves town to tie loose ends with the WSB but plans to come back to be closer to them, once he gets out of the organization. Of course he never makes it back as Felicia is soon told he was killed in the line of duty....just after she finds out she is pregnant with Georgie. That would have been better than him being a deadbeat all these years

I agree and because it would be off screen it would have left the door open if he ever wanted to return, which could have been explained saying he was in a coma or being held captive or something. Now he's just a loser.

It would have been so much better for them to say he was dead. It just looks like he's a deadbeat who could care less now.

I'll just say it. Y&R is a complete mess and has been since Bill Bell left in 1998. The history is screwed up, the time line is screwed up, the characters are screwed up, and the storylines are screwed up.

I'm not saying Kay Alden was the best on her own, but at least she had been writing the how since 1974 and knew the show inside out. I would rather have her back and maybe get James Houghton and Meg Bennett to write with her. Ed Scott needs to be brought back as well.

The first 10 years of Y&R has pretty much been thrown under the bus and re-written. Jill should have never been a Fenmore, but remained a Foster. I wish the show would honor the past by incorporating it into the present. The Brooks and Foster youth ( probably late 30's by now) need to be brought in and mingled in with the other characters. I think one missed opportunity was doing away with Colleen and Scotty. They should have written those 2 characters to hook up and re-ignite the Tracy/Lauren feud.

2005 was one of my favorite years of Y&R ever. I loved the Brittany/Bobby/Nikki story, Cassie's death and the subsequent Daniel/Lily and Phyllis/Nick stories, Sheila's return, Yolanda, Rachel Kimsey's Mac, John/Gloria, the introduction of Heinle's Victoria, Kevin's redemption and of course the classic "Have a seat... on me."

I love SuLu but I think that AMC 2.0 could succeed without Erica Kane.

It just might have to.

Hell, just recast her with Brenda Dickson or something.

I can see it now:

Erica Kane: Welcome to My Home.

"GOOD MORNING!"

"Meet my cat Snow. I'm starving. But sometimes, you what you have to do! Because I'm ERICA KANE!"

That would be must-see TV for this viewer.

If Brenda Dickson weren't taking up residence on Planet Unstable, I'd recommend her coming aboard AMC 2.0 as a brand-new, Erica-esque character who might be able to take up some of the slack left by Lucci's absence.

Khan, the laughter, it heals. You had me at Planet Unstable.
