Why rip Latham to shreds who btw did q porn storyline and do this crap. There is no long story its a bunch of scenes thar add up to nothing. Salugs YR reminds of MarDar DAYS just a bunch of nothing. I am not trolling i am just saying i am watching the worst show i have ever seen.

Because LML had nearly two years worth of contribution to Y&R and it was all pathetic. Sussman and Alden have been here a month, in the wake of LML, MAB and Pratt's mess that they now have to clean up, and until they get into the groove of things, I won't judge them. This one month of Y&R has been more enjoyable than 90% of Y&R in the past ten years. 

I'd be lying if I said I didn't find him amusing on some level. It's my petty nature.

That kinda did happen when devon first had his accident. Hilary told mariah she didn't care about the show and that she could host it. But they haven't shown Mariah doing anything there since she announced devon's accident. I'm surprised they haven't taken this time to build Mariah's position there. They've pushed her so hard lately. Seems off. 

 

I hate to admit it but it doesn't work for me. I really wanted it too. Hopefully it gets better.

That's the problem with Devon, everyone knows that CI is not his only option. It's the elephant in the room in all his stories. His bio-dad has a fortune as large as Katherine's, and a company as large as CI, and Devon is the only heir.

 

Y&R is so top heavy with old men, Tucker, recast or not, isn't someone Y&R will ever need, so why not kill him off, off-screen? If Devon is not interesting enough without his very own multi national corporation ( that he would have no idea how to run), he could be king of McCall Unlimited and Hillary could work for him. But you aren't asking for that, you want what everything Kay had, even though Devon's the only heir to Tucker, and has no conflicts. Why is that?  

 

McCall Unlimited would be the easiest option, but it sounds to me like you want CI so Jill can be subjugated to Devon's will. And we already know that's GROSS, extremely GROSS. That was the mistake MAB made with Tucker, they had a wealthy powerful man screaming in Katherine's 85 year old face. It was like watching elder abuse. No one was feeling sorry for poor little rich man Tucker because Kay gave him up for adoption.

 

The idea that everything Katherine ever breathed on is somehow rightfully Devon's is beyond me. Kay is more than just Devon. Devon's only ONE of her loved ones that was tacked on at the very end of her life. He's the only heir who had no relationship or significant screen time with her. Devon's "relationship" with Kay is slightly better than backstory. We didn't really see it. Yet he got the lions share of Kay's cash, but somehow Devon's character still isn't compelling enough to survive without taking everything in Jill's life? The thing is Kay & Jill shared a life,  maybe not by choice, but it was a shared life. Devon's not entitled to Jill's life. She lived it, it's hers.

 

There's nothing compelling about Devon being the head of CI. It's laughable. It's like Abby sitting in Victor's chair while behind her back Victor is fixing her meetings so she succeeds. And it would't matter if Devon loses his fortune, and CI, because everyone knows his wealthy bio-dad could swoop in and save him in a nano second. I could see twitter now if Devon lost his fortune, there would be never ending tweets asking where Tucker is? That already happened when Colin was screwing with him. No drama.

 

I don't understand why you think Devon running around as a second Victor would be interesting. Victor was more interesting before he became the never can lose man.

The Dylan story is terrible. I ask again why are they giving Steve Burton an exist storyline??

 

Joshua Morrow is a horrible actor. But what is new.....and Noah looks older than his dad...LMAO.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
