What is so great about watching the same characters going year after year after year after year? No wonder there are only 4 soaps left!

Watching a continuing drama over several years with the same characters is the point of soap opera viewing.

If it weren't for those characters that have been here, year after year, characters such as Bummer wouldn't be on the show...

Fenmore IS an ex-con

I like Hunter King a lot, but Camryn Grimes is a far, far better actress. No one gives a [!@#$%^&*] about your prehistoric Phyllis/Sharon fan wars trickling down to the two young women playing their daughters. Have a great night.

I know some see you as a provocateur at times, but man, there are many times when your insight just says it all so well and so succintly.

Fenmore IS an ex-con

Not to mention his lawyer Daddy!

@Celine, Fen is not a snob and I've seen no inclinations toward that with this character. Remember that goth, druggie girl he used to hang with under some pretty sketchy circumstances?

I think think Fen could understand Mariah a lot more than some might think. Hell, I wrote a story on this board months ago surrounding the two of them. All it takes is a bit of imagination.

I'd rather see Fen and even Kyle be attracted to Mariah, making Summer's head spin like in The Exorcist

See, me too! Makes so much more sense and gives these actors something else to do, other than try to solve inane mysteries.

I do have this question, have they mentioned how old Mariah is? I know she should be older than most of them

ITA. I don't think any show is 'stuck' with someone as talented as CG. HK is likable, but she really needs a strong coach to help her - I believe a lot of what's gone wrong with her scenes the past few months has been a lack of direction. Those cabin scenes were cringe-worthy, but as I said then, I think they were shooting so fast to gear up the story that they didn't have time to spend on nuances. Also, CG has YEARS more television experience, so I suppose it's not really fair to compare the two.

We all know crazy things happen on soaps. But for the Abbott heir to get serious about a vulgar, ex con is too much, especially when he already has a Newman princess. Phyllis and Jack are enough of a stretch. But at least with Phyllis, the writers did a major make over. She is a smart, ambitious and very successful executive and former owner of not one but two very successful businesses and she is an internet guru.

CP didn't hire CG and so far, he has shown very little interest in Mariah.

Yeah you're right about CP showing little interest in Mariah. CP could've had Austin-Summer-Kyle-Mariah quadrangle that could've written itself but he chose to kill Austin off instead.

What Phyllis/Sharon war? The two characters rarely share a scene anymore. After reading CP interview, I would say he sees Sharon the same way I do. lol!!!

I have to agree with CP. I don't see why either of those young men would be remotely interested in Mariah. They could both do so much better and they did. Kevin, the chipmunk, is perfect for Mariah.

Yeah, but you're fixated on their mothers fighting over Nick and equate the young women with their parents.

I stand corrected. You are right about that horrible druggie girl Fen was dating. That was really a low point in his life. I don't know but I have a bad feeling about what's coming up for Fen. I wonder if CP is going to hang those murders on him? We all know Sharon isn't the killer, so unless the killer is faux Jack, we are in for a shock when the real killer is revealed.

Fighting over Nick? What? I don't want anyone fighting over Nick. I like him with Sage a lot. But I also liked him with Avery. But I love Avery with Joe. lol

What is there to fight about? Nick is crazy about Sage and she is crazy about him. I would love for Nage to have Nick, Jr. IMO Nick is a great father. I love watching him interacting with his kids. It's time for him to tie his father with 2 girls and 2 boys, and of course the second boy has to be junior.

Yeah, I really don't care much about crazy-ass Sharon and her bullshit, and I barely watch this show, so you really are trying too hard with the wrong person. That being said, Camryn Grimes is the most talented young actress on this show and you're letting your fanbase blinders get in the way of your thinking. I could give a flying !@#$%^&*] about Nick and Sharon.

Gee it's amazing how CG's career has been pretty much a dead end since she left Y&R so many years ago. HK has a more successful career and she is 4 or 5 years younger then CG. I guess the folks in Hollywood aren't aware of Ms. Grimes' immense talent. Wait where is Mariah again?

I guess the current powers that be at Y&R didn't get the CG is great memo either.
