The unbalance for every black cast member really bothers me. Kelly Sullivan has been gone 5 whole months and she still has more than or around the same as all of them. Roark came in May, was off a month and a half,  but still has a number similar to KSJ. It's very disturbing.

Jill was on a lot this month!

I wish Mal could convince Jess Walton to stay on permanantely.

[DaytimeFan]

At some point, he might. It seems that Jess returned to Y&R at the behest of JFP, but only on the condition that she'd be coming back for work she wanted to bother with - basically she'd appear when she was written for. If she's written for, I think she could easily be convinced to sign a contract and when this month was 11 episodes it makes sense for her to be on contract economically.

And adding SSM and KA to the mix just might provide enough incentive for that.

Leslie & Mason are still frontburner!
