Chit i would give SallUGH up to six months. Shes just completed two months. So ill give her benefit of the doubt. Mal Young has completed 7 months as EP. I think Mal should be fired first he has zero vision for YR when best moments of his regime were all JFP setup ska Billy/Phyllis fallout and Sharon/Dylan.  I would love Wendy Riche to be at the helm of YR shes a superfan btw of the show.

It is just amazing. How long has her material been airing? and people ALREADY want he fired? WHY? so the next HW can come in and these same people can spend that time bitching,. moaning, whining and complaining and them? the same people who watch the show each and every day but hate every thing about it and offer no solutions? after what 2 months? she should be fired after two months?!! my goodness.

this was the first show I had watched where JFP was EP...and she did, IMPO....a HORRIBLE Job. She came just as close as LML and MAB to ruining this show. Y&R needs to take time to lay the groundwork so the stories can get some traction. Do I like everything on here. Heck no. Some things need work (Get Gloria OFF this show; either give AH better material or think about replacing her; stop bringing in Colin to do the very same things with Jill he's done the last 3-4 times he's been on canvas; give Neil a good story, etc..) but it much better to me than it has been for more than the last decade. But who would replace SSM? Higley, who just got fired for the 3rd time from Days? Let's try a new writer....oh wait, these people would complain "they don't know Y&R and I've never heard of them." Let's replace MY....with who? Just laughable the reactions. because the show didn't instantly get better after 10 episodes she should be fired. WOW.

The vague concept of Y&R being good again after a decade has basically caused an existential meltdown for some folks. People are not going to wait for the show to continue to rebuild at human speed or within reasonable parameters or limitations because the endgame is not something they are prepared for. It's much more comfortable to just continue to write it off.

Yep 😛

 

New HW usually hits the ground running when they start. Sal is too busy trying to take these characters where she would have had them from 10 years ago until now while ignoring everything in between. That's stupid and no one has time for that. Arrogance will be Sally's undoing. Redirecting the characters after the first month would have been fine but Sally needs more time and I'm not sure why. We know who these people are so put them in stories and keep it moving! 

 

Um...Hell no to Dena!  

 

I hope you are right. Didn't watch Pratt's Yr but I kept up on Twitter. It was trash but he told stories.  Sally is doing nothing but putting characters in rooms and they talk.

the issue I feel is when she was at YR last, She could take this time to tell story but now you have to move quicker

 

Hopefully she can catch up cause i feel if she can, the show will benefit from her writing in the long-term

      That second screengrab is just begging to be taken out of context.

      You make a good point. I just reached for something, unfortunately more & more common & the meds are good & most people have a long honeymoon before any decline. The most obvious thing would be an impending heart attack. That could be played by an immediate crisis followed by fairly ordinary time.

      I doubt they're going to give Bill Parkinson's considering that it would be something he would have to live with and gradually decline. It'll likely be something they can sweep under the rug eventually (though it wouldn't surprise me if they pull the misdiagnosis trick between then).

      Odds more likely Parkinsons. Hand tremor is one of the first symptoms, often. Actually it could be any number of neurological issues. Not all are Parkinsons. I think I already posted about Dani's laser focus on her girl. But in case not, this goes double for me! Totally love & also appreciate scenes like these Dani scenes. Showing some layers, she is! Whether its with her sister or her daughter, as long as the subject is family, Dani is down.

      5-21   Have I said how much I like Jacob and Naomi? As the first in-bed couple from Episode 1...and a good guy/good girl couple, I do love seeing their development. Together. And separate. So doing my rewatch, it's great to see them together one moment and making their lives work. And then the next minute, they are off in other stories. I liked the Naomi/Derek scenes. Meanwhile DETECTIVE Jacob is involved in the SilkPress storyline due to Veronica Mars aka Kat on her and Eva's case.    Dani, Dani, Dani. I thought it was a good episode to show her different sides. The outrageous Dani who would kiss her friend in public...and figuratively blow Bill's head off. And then...there's Mama Dani with Chelesa. She is always going to be divisive, ain't she? Sidenote...good to see a bit of sass from Pamela on Vanessa. It's clear they don't like each other. I do wonder if that will turn into a C plot.    Speaking of C plots...well...I still can't believe how invested I have been in the Derek/Ashley mess. And another element in it that I liked this episode was how it was affecting Dani/Andre. Heck, they were all in the montage at the end.   And another speaking of C plots, Bill and that hand. smh. I didn't care for all the Bill/Hayley time, but that hand shake continued. I do wonder where that is going to go. MS perhaps? I believe in rare cases that it can happen to men, but I am probably wrong. Still...a chance to educate.    I loved the Dani/Chelesa scene for sure. I'm sorry that things did not work out for Chels and the girl. But it was nice to see that in the spotlight and something just different for soaps. And it led to such a great talk with Dani.    Mmmmm at the SilkPress/Eva scenes. It was such a visual version of what Eva and Tomas just talked about in the last episode with parents. And SilkPress admitting what she did. I totally missed it the first time around. I live for their scenes regardless. Though I'm starting to think (and the synopsis for this coming week doesn't help), that this A story is about to shift into more of a B story status to focus on the other A stories (Martin's secret and another round of Dani/Bill/Hayley).

      It really is too bad that Will/Sonny/Paul/ Andrew aren’t full time. John’s death could’ve led to so many storylines for them.

      I had to think about how Tate is related to everyone. First:  major storylines of John and Bo. Tate is obviously grandson of John via Brady Black. Tate is twice-connected to Bo: Bo is Tate's great-uncle via Isabella. Bo is Tate's great-uncle via Kimberly. Tate is separately related to Pandrew: Andrew is Tate's uncle on the Donovan-Brady side. Paul is Tate's uncle on the Black side. Connections to young people in town: Via Kimberly and Roman, Tate is related to Johnny and Will. Will is Ari's father, so Tate is related to Arianna via Will. Via Isabella and Justin, Tate is related to Sonny. Sonny is Ari's third parent, so Tate is connected to Ari via Sonny. I started to diagram out second cousins, third cousins, half-cousins, half-uncles, "once-removed", etc, and then stopped myself, LOL. What matters is that they are extended family to one another.
