Y&R: July 2013 Discussion

Featured Replies

AM annoys me. Mostly that this year she always has something to say especially about casting when she's been in a high position at CBS Daytime for awhile now and wasn't saying anything when actors from all the different soaps were being heavily pushed on Y&R and MAB/Hamner/Sheffer were on a mission to destroy the show.

I have been watching this show at all - too much of too many characters I don't care about, not enough of characters I do but what is going on with Nelson Branco's rant on Twitter? It's been pretty damn vicious and is he implying that someone from Y&R assaulted him at the Emmys?

And honestly, I'm not at all upset Stafford bolted. BYE!

Me either I watched way before she even came on its no big deal to me actors come actors go that's the nature of the business.

I don't buy any of these soaps live or die on one character/actor, never have. While a popular actor's departure voluntary or forced can be a serious loss, the impact depends on the state of the show overall and it is the ratings that tell that story not bitter fans or bitchy soap columnists.

I don't get where AM has suddenly appeared from. Is she new? Where was she when MAB was running Y&R into the ground? How come she all so chatty now? The only useful thing that she can do for me is get them to put Beth Maitland back on contract and bring back Colleen.

NB needs to get a grip. His excessive stanning for MS and bashing YR when it isn't that bad as he's implying is ridiculous. We all know he's pressed because YR isn't giving him what he wants. Bitter ass queen . . .

That is exactly what I thought seeing all this tomfoolery on my twitter feed. Although god knows what twitter shenanigans would occur if a save GH movement was directed at Ron on twitter...Is Y&R really a mess right now? I've been flipping it on occasionally but it left Soapnet and I don't get TVGN. It seemed like the Summer paternity secret had potential and I was pleasantly surprised to see Billy & Chloe sharing scenes.

I know.. seems like Lynda Hirsch is the only one with sense...

I know but of course no one has the balls to do a #SAVEGH movement... at least OLTL is free of them..

all JG needs is a good co-HW, or at least dump Shelly Altman and Tracey Thomson...

Y&R is better under JG and JFP than MAB, but that is not hard manage. They have cast some nice younger actors, but they are not used well. Overall, the stories are tedious and characters' actions nonsensical.

The current huge story, Summer's paternity has been sabotaged by bad plotting and atrocious performances from JM and MS. However, based on the promo, Peter Bergman is galloping on his white horse at a furious pace to save the story and Hunter King is determined to help him out.

I am hoping that Billy and Chloe are not just a wind up. JG was there when they were first together so maybe he is trying them back together. He has gotten Chloe out of that dreadful marriage to Kevin which suggests that he likes EH who was featured more when he was there.

At least Sharon Case has some help now carrying that paternity story. JM deserves to be backburned for all the bad acting he did to tank this story. I don't care how he feels about MS leaving he should be giving a hundred percent. EB has an ego but I don't think I've ever seen him tank a story

  • Member

Yes. Josh needs a STRONG co-HW to help him. I'm thinking Nancy Curlee, Claire Labine, Jill Lorie Hurst, or woo Kay Alden back.

yes to all but Claire Labine is needed at GH

  • Member

Not that it will ever happen, but currently, Y&R's problems are easily fixable if another writer with some talent and imagination came in. The show isn't great, but it's not overwhelmingly damaged either (as was the case with the last regime).

The same cannot be said for most of what MAB and company inflicted for over 5 years.

  • Member

I got to say Hunter King was a pretty good find, it's a shame they aren't putting Robert Adamson in a storyline
