Y&R missed the boat with Tony/Sharon & Tony/Victoria. Nick Scotti had loads of chemistry with both Heather Tom & Sharon Case (and by that point had established Tony as a solid non-psychotic rival for Nick).

 

I will always be sad that neither Tony/Sharon or Tony/Victoria happened. Nick Scotti was love. Would they have proceeded with any of those or a triangle of sorts if Scotti hadn't left?

Neil & Olivia FINALLY getting together should've been a HUGE moment for both characters but Y&R screwed them to prop Shemar & his latest pairing (Alex) flushing 10 years of intense character development down the toilet in the process.

 

And then Alex was gone a year and a half or so later anyway...

Like every actress of color on Y&R NP was only paired with Neil because she happened to be of color.

She was also quite critical of the show & abruptly left when it was clear the writers had no idea what they were doing.

 

And yet the show had him & Angell Conwell all but having intercourse in the Athletic Club dining area.

 

Well actually, those WOC are mostly  only brought on or given  a contract  to be paired with  Neil.  Without Neil, the only WOC this show would have had is Lily. Oh, and TA/Roxy as a placeholder for Devon. but I don't count her.

There was definitely a Nick/Sharon/Tony love triangle being planned until Nick Scotti left. Once the writers knew he was leaving Tony was firmly paired with Megan until dying a year later.

 

Alex had great adversarial tension with Neil & Olivia but once they watered her down into a typical soap heroine she was useless. By the time Shemar left there was nothing for her on Y&R (despite being a partner in Michael & Cricket's law firm).

I always felt they wasted Alex. And it still burns me that Tonya Lee Williams was treated like a dayplayer and that she's not on the show. She really did deserve better. I've always liked her.

 

And this show keeps bringing on random black hunks but yet Nate can't get more than a cameo? What sense does this make? Oh, right, so they can try and pair him with Lily until they fire him.

Tony would have been some SERIOUS competition to Nick! A shame he left. That would have provided story for years (although Nick & Sharon certainly didn't lack for story).

 

What would they have done with Megan had Tony moved to Nick & Sharon's orbit? A shame if the Tricia stuff never happened....

Y&R will always be missing something without Olivia (and Dru) around.

Nate & Lily are first cousins.

I know. Which is why I said what I said. I'd rather they bring Nate on than some random black hunk, that will ultimately go the way of the others, but they couldn't pair him with Lily so they won't bring him on.

Gotcha.

I wouldn't believe that Neil would want to be with old ass Nikki.. especially after being with so many beautiful younger women like Hilary and Leslie. Neil and Nikki would be gross anyways. I cringed watching them kiss that one time.

Neil and Ashley is believable though. Who wouldn't be attracted to Ashley? 

Todays show was a snoozefest dull as dishwater..Old Nostagia is tanking here. i will give Sally and Kay more time. YR needs that modern day touch as well as going back to basics. i will say it takes new head writers time to develop their vision. Jean and Shelly needed at GH before their powerful writing hit the screen.

Nate should be the resident doctor. Stitch needs to leave with Dylan.

This ... although isn't Stitch off-contract at this point? I never thought Sean Carrigan was all that great TBH. Not bad but meh ....

Someone found this audition tape and guesses are correct. Ryder's entrance story is with Cane and Lily. Seems both are in his first scenes. 

 

My prediction  stands, he will go the way of Tyler.

Oh dear. Welp, the actor who gets the role has my sympathies. 

Yeah. Someone needs to remind them what happened the last time they tried, unless they suddenly plan to ignore the rabid fans.
