Pretty soon he will be 10+ years vet on Y&R and yet he has had less appaerances than a dayplayer in this time span. Griffith was - once again - trying to feauture Devon and bringing him back into the business. But then, poof. I don't know why those writers lose interest so quickly. Is Bryton terror to work and spitting at co-stars? This is just soo bizarre - and I'm neutral on Bryton or Devon for that matter.

Not important anymore because Kay & Jill are old women. I don't think Y&R's 40 year characters are even going to get a front burner story for it's 40th Anniversary Neither are included in the 40th promos or spoilers so far. They have no relationships with their children or men.. they are old women, which must mean non-persons to Y&R.

Why should Devon be any different the rest of the Chancellors? The Chancellor legacy child "little Phillip" (Chance) isn't even cast. Phillip 3 is never coming back. No one mentions Mac or Brock anymore. Billy is Jack's brother or Victors son-in law, not Jill's son. They even took Cane away.

Neither Kay or Jill have a romance going on or any hint of a relationship with a man even though Kay supposedly has a husband. They don't have a spare second for the new Congressman to run into Jill, but plenty of time for Jack and Victor and their business, sex, and family life.

Jill has lost all her ambition, they say she is a CEO of CI but I only see her playing nursemaid to a sickly Katherine. Maybe Victor should send sickly Nikki over too since she getting up there so he can get his virile self a younger model since Sharon/Victor was so popular.

The top 10 episode count says it all... older men and younger woman, while the older female characters rot. It's what woman young and old want to see. NOT! General Hospital has multiple older women/ long-time female characters DRIVING story. I don't see Ana, Tracy, Monica Alexis, Heather, Lucy weak & sickly with no men and/or no contact with their offspring. Ana's running the police dept, Tracy still after ELQ etc., etc., while older women are shown running NOTHING and wanting NOTHING on Y&R these days

I think winning that Emmy "saved" Bryton. There was lots of gossip about him being put on recurring and been phased out, then he won the Emmy and next thing we heard is that he was never on recurring and in fact, was getting his contract re-upped. Hard to know how much of any of this was true. Regardless, I think that he should have left ages ago.

I think that it is keeping with JFP's history that all the older women and eventually older men will be phased out. However, on Y&R the dominant older male characters like PB and EB have way too much power and leverage with Sony/CBS as well as the fans for either to be sidelined in a major way. Griffith has to write for them and JFP knows it. If it comes down to a power struggle, she cannot be confident that she will not be the one go, at least not yet.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted
