The first paragraph is nothing but asskissing. Logan is as phony as ever.

This new Jack is fascinated with Phyllis but he's also going to find himself very taken with Ashley.

Disgusting.

Given that Pratt hasn't even brought a ratings increase, it tells you just how creatively bankrupt and apathetic Sony and CBS are to let this trash air.

Looks like Pratt might be out the door by the end of the year, like all the others

Bill Bell must be rolling his grave at this. They've stolen this right of the Katherine/Marge playbook.

Oh damn, shark jumping has begun by Pratt, hence the mention of Ashley's parentage last week

DUDE, how many times are soaps gonna do this story? How many times has Y&R done this story in the last DECADE? Jesus.

This is so beyond sickening and disgusting.

The Ashley thing? Torturous!

It only took Pratt a couple of months? Yep, sounds about right.

OMG sound the drums and let's get of Pratt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said before…they fired the hack Jean Passanante who did the same story with Cassie to hire another hack probably for more money to do the same story with the same contract players….just awful. This is what Angela was pimping on Twitter the other day….gawd…this woman needs to be fired too!!

Shame on Peter Bergman!!

At this point they need to fire Pratt and bring in Bradley Bell to write both of his dad's former shows. It CAN NOT get any worse than this mess Pratt is doing. Idiots in charge!!

How is this Peter Bergman's fault? He's a 62 year old actor with a house in Newport Beach to pay for!

For hyping this [!@#$%^&*] of a story! At least Eric Braeden in an early interview said the writing didn't make sense…kind of trashed it but then said it worked….he was playing both sides but at least he admitted to how the story made no sense…LOL

The ratings only went up the first week of his material….and a few little jumps throughout but lately the ratings have flattened and I hope they drop for this dreadful storyline. Maybe then they will fire Pratt and hire Bell to finish off what his dad started.

Now I really do believe that B&B will be the last soap standing when all the dust is gone and settled.

I think PB feels compelled to 'sell' this storyline knowing that future opportunities (opportunities for what though??) for his character may be on the line. Like one poster alluded to, he has bills to pay and opportunities may not be easy to come by, especially for entrenched soap actors these days.

However, I don't believe he's enthusiastic about this dumb storyline, anymore than I believe Sharon Case is gungho about many of the idiotic storylines she's been shoved into over the past 5-6 years. These actors know that 'playing their part' goes beyond playing the character onscreen-- it extends to interviews and promotions and meet and greets where they must sell the role, their current storyline and the show. I get the sense that they'd rather endure a bad storyline that endure backburner status. But I'm not buying all this enthusiasm.

Boy, I miss my ATWT! When an actor thought a story was poo-poo, they'd say it was poo-poo! Some were more diplomatic than others but you could never mistake their comments for any type of enthusiasm for a horrible storyline.

Sharon Case is also apparantly "loving" her current storyline, so shame on her too then?
