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.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.

      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.
