No what Jean should be allowed is creative freedom and vision which I don't think Jill gave her. Too many fingers in her vision. Even bringing back Josh Griffith paired with Jean would be better than Pratt. She is finally taking off and she was let go.

Did you say that Griffith was boring??

We already seen plenty of Jean's vision on the other soaps

Her work on other soaps don't account for her work on y and r. What I have seen solely based on her work is she was starting to take off. Oh well she just deserves better than this. I thought Griffith bored me during his last y and r run. Honestly he loves Jean so they could have been a great team.

Taking off? Are you sure that's not her explosive farts fireworks lifting her off her seat?

Is there a reason why Chloe did not share one scene with BJ's (almost called him Meredith) Billy? I cannot imagine them together. AT. ALL.

The reason is what you just stated. He looks like her dad.

It's funny even people who were saying they didn't love Jean ATWT but loved her character driven attempts at Y and R and are clueless why she is leaving

Which is why if they ever plan in bringing EH back as Chloe with this kid, I am sure it has to be Kevin's. Otherwise...

Otherwise what??

Otherwise what??

Otherwise, Chloe looks like she gave birth to Billy's grandchild.

But the child isn't Grandpa Billy's but the REAL Billy's

Oh god enough burgess is only 5 years older than Elisabeth Hendrickson. He astounded me really with his performance today it was so subtle

*yawn*

Wake me up when Pratt Attacks.

The only good thing about this episode was seeing Jill interact with the Abbotts as she should be.....

I'm not that disappointed that they didn't have Billy and Chloe interact......I didn't want to think this at first glance, but i'm sorry to say he would've looked too old next to her.....I kept picturing David Tom doing all those scenes and how much better it would have been.

Now you know how everyone else feels around here

The show was absolutely heartbreaking. Jean should win an Emmy for best writing and show. No episode tops this one in 2014. I have to say I loved everything about it. Burgess did a great job it's not easy to redupilicate the magic miller brought but he did a good job. Amelia Heinle did amazing work as always her Emmy shows she won. It was a flawless episode with Nadia's theme very reminiscent of Bill Bell. In fact I felt Bill and Kay Alden wrote today's y and r.

Don't insult the late great Bill Bell or Kay Alden by putting Jean P anywhere in their company. If her work moved you emotionally in today's episode, it was probably the scriptwriter who deserves the kudos. You can sing her praises all you want, it's your right, but the vast majority of viewers of her work know she's a breakdown writer not a head writer. Her (and SA's) Y&R is generally as dull as dishwasher. Plots meander, huge emotional moments are missed because Jean and Shelley never mine them. She's lucky to have survived in the top spot as long as she did. If Jill didn't give her the creative freedom Jean needed to be successful, as you claim, blame Jean. She knew Jill was EP. She knew Jill's rep for dictating to HWs. Did she really think it would be any different with her as co-head? Of course not. Jean wanted the money, and the chance to say she was co-head of the number one soap in daytime. She'll happily trot back to GH or stay with Y&R as a breakdown writer. Hopefully no other soap will give her the head writer slot again. She was a bore at ATWT, and a disaster at Y&R. Plain and simple.

It's funny even people who were saying they didn't love Jean ATWT but loved her character driven attempts at Y and R and are clueless why she is leaving

What character driven attempts? You're joking, right?
