In recent years Y&R with an exception or two, has an aversion of casting tween/teen actors. There's also a portion of the Y&R fandom that don't want actors in that age cast as well. I thought tween/teen actors was one of the few bright spots of the last couple of years of ATWT and OLTL.

I agree with Summer being SORASed too fast. She's only 3 years older than Faith. Reed should be SORAS to at least 12-15 years old. Nick and Sharon were going to have adult children anyway because they had their kids when they were young.

I have to say, the fact that Camryn Grimes is such a success with this Mariah character just highlights how stupid it was to kill off Cassie and how short sighted that story eventually was.

Yes, Mariah is completely different from Cassie and has probably been shoehorned in with some bad storytelling, but she's filling in a void for the Newman's that's been missing for several years. She's made Nick, Sharon, and even Victor somewhat watchable again. I don't know how much of that is down to Grimes or down the character, though.

Abby is supposed to be small and cute..this is the way she was written..this

Abby is tall and annoying but not in a good way the way Marcy portrayed her and folks THIS Abby is wearing the clothes designed for Marcy and they barely cover her butt. Jack needs to tell Phyllis about Kelly..cannot wait for the rath of Phyllis.

I like Devon storyline because it's about him, & he can carry it.

If they don't want to keep hiring color guys for vanilla Lily, they better find away to keep Tyler. Almost with Tyler doesn't count as her dating a black man. I mean Tyler didn't even get a chance to do what Billy and her did. Kevin, (2)Daniel, (2)Cane, and Billy.

I think they aged all these kids too fast. Especially Kyle & Abby they suppose to be 14 or something. Adam should be at least in his early twenties.

And now TIIC have you right where they want you! Hevon will be served up to the fans once the viewers are long past caring. I read on Twitter that Devon suggest they continue the affair? That's just sleazy. This young beautiful vibrant pairing destroyed - the power of Neil/KSJ! You want a promising AA female destroyed, throw her directly into KSJ's orbit (VR was too good to be wiped out by him). Hillary is trash, and there's not one rootable person in this mess, and once again, viewers rooting for a young black couple get the shaft!

Hevon was not supposed to be popular and HIllary was not supposed to take the viewers' attention away from the white "leads", Chelsea, Victoria, Avery, etc. Devon will go back to being on twice a month with a love interest who shows up about 4 times a year!

And look, Khalil gets another non black love interest? She's probably moist as !@#$%^&*] right now!

I don't think them girls have anything to do with it. It's not like Hilary is playing in their story lines. I think it have something to do with a non black actress, who wanted Hilary to stop outshining her. & plus she want Devon to go back to be the co star in her storyline. These clowns in charge keep listening to her.

Don't get me started on how moist she get when she sees pale skinned white boys.

Lily was popular under a different actress. Just like CK didn't like the praises that actress was getting when she played Lily. I'm sure she doesn't like Hilary actress neither for getting the same amount of praises. Especially when some posters was like she should have came on as Lily.

    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jodie stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.

    • Oh God, she's back? I thought those first scenes were well-intentioned but hysterical.
