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.

Wow! I think Y&R is pretty darn amazing these days! I've watched for over a decade and I've never enjoyed it as much as I am now. JFP drove me to stop watching the mess she created. Everything she touches goes to Hades in a handbasket.

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.

Actually i think Dena Higley would be better at YR. Do u all know Sally was in contention for the job back in 2014 but JFP passed her over for Pratt

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.

Sally was never given a meeting JFP went to the top and got CP the job.

 

I still believe Sally in 6  months twill make YR must watch soap again

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

    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
