Because he is David. David = BAD; Everyone else = GOOD. Like Spauldings = BAD; Coopers (and everyone else in Springfield) = GOOD.

Everyone doesnt hate David bc of the shooting. They hate him for many other things. Did you watch AMC before it went off the air? He was the most hated person in town and was blamed for almost anything. The shooting is just one more thing but those feelings of hatred towards him predate that

Just remember: everything that happened That Night Five Years Ago is David Hayward's fault. Never mind that JR brought the gun to the Chandler mansion, intending to do some damage. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, he could have intended to kill himself, whatevs.) If David had simply left JR alone to use that gun as he had intended, everything would have been fine. Of course, someone might have died anyway; and probably more would be dead as well. But that's neither here nor there, ladies and gentlemen. Nope, David Hayward is evil, so it's his fault. Case closed, move along, nothing to see here.

God, I shouldn't ever defend that officious prick of a "brilliant, world-reknowned surgeon," but the one-sided attitudes from everyone else in town often leaves me no choice. :(

I grew to hate him because of how everyone basically was torn down to build sympathy for him.

I mean I think Dixie has every right to hate him for what he did to JR even though JR was there to possibly shoot someone(maybe himself). Some(not here) think she is a hypocritical bitch and should bow at his feet for saving her life 5 years ago(even though he kept her drugged up & captive for 5 years after he saved her)

    • 5-16   At last....AMANDA!!!   And I had mixed feelings tbh.   So we are back to this again? And by this I meant Sharon/Nick/Giggly Heffa. While I liked everyone looked good (you better wear those high heels, SC!!!!), been there, done that. I liked that Sharon and Phyllis came to some truce right before Sharon and Nick went off to London. It would have been nice and creepy to watch them bond and Phyllis take an unhealthy attachment to her new friendship with Sharon due to her PTSD. So I'm sorry to see that fall to the wayside.   Meanwhile, I would like to think that now that Amanda has shown up as Dumas's lawyer that it meant that soon we will get that Dumas reveal. I'm happy to see MM. However, like Lily, Devon, and Nate, I too was not liking the wordplay she was playing.   Meh. at Sally babying Billy. I did like Nick calling him out.   Well they do exist. So I wouldn't be surprised. 
    • Hm. I just realized that Dani/Andre feel like the main B plot this week. And I'm not at all complaining about that. I just figured it would be Doug/Joey/Vanessa storyline, but there is one last week in this month so perhaps that is just going to be a C plot until next week.    
    • Thanks for starting this thread!  I was hoping others were listening and would want to chat about it. I'm really enjoying Montecito!  The production and audio values are top notch. The storylines are interesting and keep me wanting more.  There is corporation succession, cheating, alcoholism, bisexual relationships, divorced parents, brother/sister drama, scorned mother, father/son relationship issues, etc. At first I couldn't stand Mena's (sp?) voice, but I've grown to enjoy her and I love to hate her as a villain. I keep hearing Smitty (BTG) in Mike Manning's voice, so it keeps throwing me haha. The only thing going against it is one episode per week, at only 18 minutes long, so we need more content. Anyone else listening and enjoying it?
    • This, plus they nixed their overnight set crew during the COVID era and never brought them back.

    • I did some research because I had a similar question. (also, I don't want to poop on your joke which was amusing, but it sent me down a rabbit hole) A Reddit user who works at TeleVision City (where Y&R is filmed) estimated it takes 45 minutes to set up or reconstruct an already built set.  However, according to union rules, it takes at least seven crew members (not counting lighting and sound installation).  As always, the real cost is the labor, not the task.   Y&R uses robotic cameras, so there is only a skeleton crew on set.  Most of their crew budget goes to production assistants, who cannot move sets.  So, they would need to hire a crew every time they wanted to put up or take down a set (for two days) as well as a lighting and sound design installation.  Which is obviously very different from how production worked when money was more freely spent (and good for the unions for keeping the workplace safe). So, filming a single day in Lauren and Michael's living room could cost as much as they spend on two actors salaries for an entire year.
    • I knew Giovanni Mazza was talented but damn that kid is a star in the making. 
    • The Nurses' Ball has always been cringey, fast forward material for me, but especially during the Frank era. The musical numbers and audience reactions are unwatchable.  So many of the conflicts on this show feel phony and manufactured. Probably no better instance is the Gio - Dante crap. Gio's whole story is inorganic, plot driven, no stakes, fake conflict; giving people lame drama just to give them drama, a prime example of GH under Frank.
    • What is the reason why soaps can’t use whatever sets they want? How exactly does it cost money..? I’m sure they still have Michael and Lauren’s house, why can’t they just put it up and shoot it when needed lol
