third.

But it's all to show what victor did was fine. He will play family hero at Phyllis' request. 

The biggest problem is the shows refusal to write for and truly invest in any man under  30. They are totally stuck on their 40 something male leads. At least that's the problem for mariah and Abby. Hilary and lily have totally different issues that won't be solved with with more younger men. 

 

I don't get adding Chelsea into this number. There is nothing stuck about her. The show ensures that she's always at the forefront with a pairing and story no matter what's going on with Adam. 

 

Chloe just cane back. I'm sure she will fall into that Chelsea category this time around. EH didn't come back to be paired with GR.

^ I added Chelsea because for months her story has completely involved/revolved around Adam (supporting him when Victor ended the Chicago job, the Chrully reveal and the frame-up, etc.) Very little of what Chelsea does is Adamless. At least we saw Chelsea 2.0 the other day. I would've chalked it up to JH's schedule with his show, but it's extended much further back than the past couple of months. But MCE is far better off than most of the other 'younger' actresses on the show

Billy has to be at least 40 years old and Jill thinks  he is going to let his loud, overbearing mother tell him what to do?  This is what JW was brought by for? What a waste.  Good for ED that she is back to her reality show among other projects. A house didnt't have to fall on her at Y&R!

Why is it stupid?  Because Victor put a fake Jack in Phyllis's bed putting him way over the line at least as far as I'm concerned.  Phyllis is screwing her brother in law, neither one of these a holes has any credibility whatsoever and that's what makes the writing for this story line so sucky when it could be great.  I do agree that the show is looking a lot better but if the writing doesn't improve, if they get rid of Luca and Travis instead of bringing them on board in a major way and making Victor pay in a big way it won't make any difference.  The show will still suck.  I would like to invite someone from the writing staff at Y&R to post on this board, anonymously, and assure me and the anyone else that cares, that the writing for this show is going to get better.  I really can't be disappointed anymore, I'm at the end of my rope.

And BTW, Hillary is being completely and totally wasted on this show.  This talented actress needs a decent story that doesn't include Devon or Neil.

^^^ I hope you get your wish with Hilary and she gets a story far away from Devon. Unlike some, I feel like he's being wasted as her purse holder, bank, and yes man. Hoping that they break up and writers give him more edge so they can actually finally attempt to write for him and let him drive story for a change. Do something besides defend her and be her moral compass.

I agree on MO. She has come a long way. However, I still think she's too tall for a Devon and Abby pairing. It'd look too distracting onscreen. I'd rather see him doing business related stories and spark a friendship then romance with Chloe. Always thought they made sense and that BJ and EH had chemistry. But I saw real spark back when Devon was the benefactor for the Delia valentine's day fundraiser. He can play daddy to Bella until her true paternity is revealed and HELP RUN (very important he be shown doing this) and fund Chloe's fashion line under CI umbrella to rival Chelsea 2.0. That's a story I want to see. 

 

Since they insist Hilary must be paired  with one of their old guys then free Devon and allow writers to go for hilary/Jack or Hilary/Neil 3.0 . Just don't have him around pining for her on the sidelines, which was clearly Pratt's plan. What sense does that make in a world where Kevin has 3 young love interests?

    • lol Cass and Donna went on a bowling date!
    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
