Hmm, maybe it's because I really like Chelsea, but I haven't felt that way. I don't like Avery much anymore so I agree it feels as if she's always on.

I have alway loved Phyllis, so yes I'm sad she isn't on as much anymore but I do think the storyline she's in now really works and it's a good break because even as a Phyllis fan, I can admit she needed a little rest.

Oh no, I'm not complaining about Phyllis being only supporting these days, it's the best thing to happen to her in years. The show was at its worst when she was repeatedly shoved into what felt like every f.ucking storyline.

I still don't understand why Chelsea is on this show and why they insist on keeping her. I see no purpose or value in that character. I feel as if Avery and Chelsea have easily become the two new pet characters of this regime, and I can't say that endears me to either character.

I like Chelsea or I did up to last week when I stopped watching. She is definitely a JG/JFP favorite who gets too much airtime. Of course, because she is a fave she gets the honor of helping pimp the new male bland favorite Dylan. I think JC is far less talented than MCE and gets way too much airtime as well. However, that is how it goes with every new regime.

JC looks a lot more like Eileen Davidson lately. I know it's not intentional, but I see it anyway.

I hate that SOD keeps having those covers that remind me of the last ten sucktastic years of Soap Opera Weekly.

I have never seen MCE have chemistry with any other actors on Y&R. I think some people are lucky in one role and then strike out.

Yeah, I loved MCE on All My Children.. but she just doesn't fit on Young and the Restless. Sometimes, certain actors that fit on one show do not fit on others. Case in point, when Vincent I. was on Y & R, he just didn't fit on the show.. but fit in perfectly on both GL and AMC. Genie Francis bombed on Y & R... but did very well on GH and DAYS.

Sometimes the reason is the character, other times it is the fact that an actor doesn't fit on the show.

With that said, I do agree that JC and MCE have become the newest pets with MS and SC becoming some-what more supporting. While I like that MS and SC have become more supporting, that doesn't mean that anyone else should become a pet. What I had hoped the new regime would do was make the show more of an ensemble.

I never did get the MCE love on AMC so I find the opinion that she does not "fit" on Y&R perplexing. I thought she was nothing special on AMC and that Annie was completely overrated. In contrast, I think that she totally works as Chelsea. MCE does some subtle work with a character that could be trite and less than interesting.

While I am not the biggest fans of writers' pets, especially when I don't like them, they are far from Y&R's biggest problem. Y&R's biggest problem is the lack of interesting stories and couples.

For me whether you fit or not is based on your connection with co-stars. Y&R has had quite a few actors in recent years who have anti-chemistry with everyone. To me MCE is one of those. Somehow, every single person from AMC who was brought to Y&R in the last five years feels that way to me. No chemistry, no purpose, no life.

See I loved MCE as Annie but I also love her on Y&R. I definitely disagree that she doesn't have chemistry. I thought there was chemistry between her and MM, and I think there's quite a bit of chemistry between her and DG.

I also think she works really well with Elizabeth Hendrickson and Chelsea is the only person I find Chloe tolerable around.

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.

      I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

      I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.

      omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

      There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.

      Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.

      OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.

      I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.

      Is nobody going to mention the cringefest that is 'Carl Ivati'?

      I've accepted we'll probably never see any of the Roger/Holly 1976-1978 storyline. Whenever any of Roger/Holly 1979 and 1980 storylines surface, those are must watch as they set in motion everything we saw a decade later.
