Sorry, but I don't buy the 'Woe is me' defense. Just about every Twitter conflict concerning Y&R as of late, he's been smack dab in the middle. Twitter can be a wonderfully effective networking tool but it is also a tool of rampant (sometimes shameless) self promotion.

I just don't see most of the other Y&R stars getting tangled up in as much conflict on so many fronts. And his sometimes snarky attitude often colors people's opinions of him. I see JM, DD, or even KSJ actually going up to the actors and putting an arm around their shoulder and giving them a pep talk in person rather than airing it out on social networks. Ultimately, you have control over people's perceptions (or misconceptions) of you on Twitter, when you involve yourself in every single conflict out there.

If Y&R decides to do some flashbacks where they show Tyler's and Leslie's deceased Mother, I know exactly who can play her. The eyes have it:

I know she's been on Y&R before but many of today's viewers would never know the difference since it was so long ago.

He could have won. It's called shutting the hell up and not getting involved with something that has nothing to do with him.

I mean, he's taking on THE senior cast member of Y&R now? Come on, man. It doesn't take a genius to realize it's a major no-no to go up against 80-something year old Jeanne.

He's an ass. Period.

Apparently on the SOC board, Lane fans either want Tyler dead or Tyler to be the one who killed his own Mother. Apparently, he has committed the grave sin of flirting with married Lily. rolleyes.gif

Michael fans (they hate Lauren now) seem to want a similar fate for Carmine but some people want Michael to be the one who commits the crime.

Oy vey, these fans! They're not leaving much room for drama, are they?

I'd love soaps to move away from the whole couple thing since it seems to limit story potential.

Michael/lauren should have conflicts because both of them are gray characters. Lauren has always been her worst enemy, this being apparent in both of her previous marriages to Scott and Paul so this affair with Carmaine is totally in character for Lauren. Lauren in the past was a huge flirt that would go after a man even if they, or she, were already spoken for. The previous regimes neutured both of their characters, but that seems to be changing... can't wait for a glimpse at Michael's dark side again. You can reform and still slip up on occasion.. it is called being human.

Lily/Cane should also have conflict especially since Cane is being very hypocritical right now. He lambasts Lily for not being completely honest with the time she spends with Tyler, being hit on... yet the man lied about his identity and all his baggage countless times. She should throw that up in his face whenever he starts to give her grief about being 'dishonest'. If I were in Lily's position, I would never take the man back whatsoever... once the trust is gone, it is almost impossible to regain full trust cause you will always wait for the other shoe to drop.

Lastly, I dont know why they are trying Abby out with potential guys because the Abby character could be so interesting without being saddled to a man. Hopefully, once the dust settles next month with Abby.. that the show takes their time with her.. to allow the audience to get to know the 'new' Abby before throwing her into another potential pairing. With that said, I think Abby and the detective have some chemistry. but who knows next month if that will hold true.

    • 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
