From SOD in the "Stuff we know and shouldn't tell you"

IMO this is so YR cause it's pretty much what happened at AMC

Despite the positive public reports that the stories have improved on this show, some of the actors are secretly grumbling that their character's are suddenly behaving out of character

Hopefully not for long, although they DID want this, asked for it and let it happen.

"Suddenly"? Suddenly? blink.png Y&R characters have been out of character for YEARS. But I guess Pratt finds ways to take that even further.

LOL at "positive public reports." From who?

But YAY if the cast is complaining. The more it happens, the sooner they'll get rid of this damn goaty crusty muthafucka.

laugh.png You're right on both fronts. They've been out of character for awhile, but it really is worse and very noticeable right now. I'm just surprised anyone in the cast still cares. I figured their spirits were broken long ago.

I'm so glad you wrote this. It's right on point. SC has somehow managed to keep Sharon viable no matter what. I remember years ago when JC called out SC as one of the true professionals on the show who worked her craft. I thought it was odd because at that time Sharon was pretty much nice girl and Kay rarely interacted with Sharon. I can't recall an episode when SC wasn't engaged. She is always on mark. I may have disliked the stories she has been given - ok hated most of the past decade, but I don't think I've ever FF through a scene with her. Strangely I've actually liked this S/L and I've been shocked I'm liking the Sharon Dylan dynamic.

Where is Jill? Her one-time stepson, one-time lover is in a coma (as far as she would have heard), not to mention her son's busted engagement and tanked nuptials and the feuding factions of the Abbotts and the Newmans, shouldn't Jill be trying to benefit in some way from at least all corporate hell breaking loose?

Wouldn't it be funny if Jill walked into the hospital room with Faux Jack in bed with Phyllis keeping vigil by his side and the first thing that Jill said is "Honey, that's not Jack!" in that husky voice.

My response to the above is 'how do you prefer your torture?'

I'd never speak for others so for me, I don't miss the previous head writers and felt they, and Josh Griffith beforehand- try as they may to be traditional and soapy- were not Y&R writers. It's certainly not difficult to be more nuanced than what we have now but that does not constitute 'smart writing' and that's the only time I intend to indulge this poster.

Plus, the show has/had a specific identity that takes a specific writer/producer to makes work.

The show could have had Kay Alden or/and Sally Sussman Morina back... That's the way I look at it.

I don't watch the show now and have made an informed decision based on what I read and on the recaps that I will not until the day Jill Farren Phelps, Charles Pratt Jr and Tracey Thomson are gone from the credits.

However, I feel that CBS and Sony have gone all in with this group and will dig their heels in, cover their ears and bury their heads in the sand.

Part 1 of the referenced interview was all the confirmation I needed that the decision I made was best for me.

Mariah stands around making catty remarks at the Newman heiresses while doing her little minimum wage job for their father/brother. lol

Maybe Mariah could invest some time and energy in building a career instead of wasting her time being so jealous and envious.

      Well before the craziness starts, I just wanted to say that off of this week's promo...I love that show so far stays playing all the beats. And just when you think they forgot about something or someone mentions a loose end here...it circles back around. I love the attention to those plot details. So far.

      Sadly, it won't.  If anything, it'll convince the donors and others even further that they were right to push Biden out of the election (never mind that Kamala would've been on standby had he been unable to fulfill his duties as president).

      Interesting..this is more then likely why I found Reva 2.0 boring and annoying..she had everything she wanted...now what else is there but some outside evil person or clones? It also might have been one of the reasons McTavish had Quint have an affair..it made Nola loose her Prince. But unfortunately they didn't do anything with it but made Nola a sad sack whiner. I wish they had her write a book..of course, some tell all which would make everyone pissed at her, especially Van.   Long was desperate to sideline Van into the Lewis hole. They had Van working at Spaulding again in 85 around the time Alan came back. I would love to have had Henry and Van tired of Alex dragging some nobody blond guy and trying to install him as a Spaulding, and fight to get their part of the company back. They could have used Ross to help them and of course, Billy would be p*ssed off that Van wasn't sitting at home and her old sharpness comes out.

      I hope this shuts down all the book publicity [clickbait gossip] regarding Biden's mental acuity.

      I’ve always wondered - why did Wayne decide to leave DAYS in 1984? He and Deidre were at the peak of their success, and their on-screen relationship was so iconic. Three years together just feels too short. Was there a specific reason for his departure at that point?

      Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well.
