I've been watching Y&R for the better part since 1983 and those families would mean nothing to me. Y&R was unwatchable until the rise of the Abbotts. I'd rather have them continue to use all the vets/legacy characters on canvas, but that's just me. Y&R is blessed with plenty of beloved actors and characters with lots of onscreen history - use them.

Nick acting like a caveman was really over the top today. "Christian is mine, mine, mine". I'm basically on Nick's side here and it was still just way too much.  He doesn't even have a car seat and he's going to pull a baby out of his home in the middle of the night.  He should have just called Paul and been there first thing in the morning. I guess they wanted to show us that Chelsea has influence over him, but damn.

Kelly Sullivan as Phyllis? How the hell did anyone even consider that as an option? They look nothing alike, plus Kelly Sullivan is like HOW much younger than Michelle Stafford? Just no. 

 

Jean and Shelly are definitely no [!@#$%^&*] geniuses. More like beavis and butt-head.

Of course, the immense popularity of the series long before the arrival of the Abbott family proves that regardless of your own personal disinterest or disdain, a huge audience found Y&R to be very watchable indeed during its first decade.

 

I would not discount any current "beloved actors or characters with lots of on-screen history," nor would I be opposed to using them properly. I would refute the claim that there are "plenty" of them, however. Look at the top 25 used actors in recent months:

 

Amelia Heinle? Gina Tognoni? Jason Thompson? Melissa Claire Egan? Steve Burton? Justin Hartley? Hunter King? Miles Gaston? Melissa Ordway? Mishael Morgan? Sean Carrigan? Kelly Sullivan? Mara McCaffray?

 

Of the 59 listed actors and characters, how many are considered beloved by the audience? Perhaps...15 or 20?

 

The show has many new faces in familiar roles, some of whom the audience accepts and some whom the audience seems to abhor, but I would not include any of these actors on a "beloved Y&R actor" list. And since the program has scores of newbie characters anyway, why not tie a few of them to legacy characters from the show's golden era? Brooks Prentiss could return to Genoa City as a business mogul in competition with the Newmans or Abbots. Paul Williams' brother Steve could have married Peggy Brooks after all, producing a niece for Paul to take in after the girl arrived in town to work at her late grandfather's newspaper. 

 

Either way, the new characters might mean nothing to you,, but they would at least be a treat for longtime viewers who remember fondly the golden, mesmerizing era of 1973-83.

 

In the meantime, I wonder how many of the following actors and characters the audience would love to see get the axe.
