perhaps, to harken back to Dylan being in witness protection they could have whomever's after Dylan kidnap, torture, and eventually kill Kevin. Leave his body somewhere w/ the message "you can run but you can't hide, Derek" or whatever his undercover name was.

I was DONE when Y&R made Mackenzie Kevin's #1 cheerleader & had her screaming at COLLEEN to stop "bullying" the little degenerate because Colleen kept reminding everyone THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO MURDER HER.

That would be a shocking full circle closure! It would never happen though realistically but would make sense since Kevin has never been fully redeemed. 

 

@DeeeDee @YRBB @YRfan23 I did think the original sinister version of Kevin was fascinating. The obsession with Lily, JT, and Colleen and then the creepy friendship he had with Lauren. There was a lot of potential and I had assumed that a redemption story would have left Kevin at the very least seen recurring in a psychiatric facility dealing with his issues after his prison beating for a long term arc.  Of course that never happened as we had some idiotic botched staged elevator fight. It was the Smith regime, the same regime that had Paul raping Christine and the Christine getting engaged to Michael right afterward. No wonder Linden Ashby was bothered.

I know everyone has fans but I cringe when I see his stans saying how "unfair it is" etc. The character was supposed to be limited. Rikaart isn't awful but he's not the greatest actor in the world. It's long overdue to say goodbye to Kevin. LONG overdue. I hope they don't listen to the whining.

Yet when people who were legacy characters who fans loved,  for example like Brad and Colleen who had a lot of story to tell they should not even be saying a word that he got to be on the show this long. I cannot see why either what stories were good after he did all those evil thing? The chipmunk? Another nutjob was Jana and we had to see him support the other loon too who also tried to kill Colleen?  I cannot believe he even lasted this long and for what? His lame s/l's?  

 

 

Also bad writing is him working at a police station after statutory rape and attempted murder by arson. Let's not even mention what he also helped with Dr. Tim with that dirt cop Ronan.

 

The Kevin character after all he did years back and I know it is a fictional show but people want to see justice even on a fictional show for what he did to Colleen and Lily and didn't get to have it at all. They should be happy he at least is getting some sort of happy ending and also not being killed of like characters who were very beloved. For me I could care less, I would love to have seen this character of Kevin killed off. I don't even think about him unless somebody brings him up or he is shown for very short stories.

You make a good point -- they did find ways to make it worse and worse. I wasn't watching regularly at that point, so I'm glad I missed that. That decision is reinforced everytime I hear about something I missed. That being said, in a way it didn't matter much (at least to me) because even when they still had J.T. hating him or whatever, the writing was clearly on Kevin's side -- and I was all the way done.

 

 

Oh, yes, it would be nice if they had Kevin return to his true self and write him off like that.

 

Without a doubt, Kevin's initial story was really good. For me, it was riveting stuff. Hell, I was even OK with the sudden retcon of him being Michael's brother. If the show had remained honest about the character and took a longterm approach at possibly redeeming him, it could have worked. Even better, he could have been further redemption for MICHAEL if he remained murderous and psychotic, and Michael had to deal with his own brother's misdeeds and "punished" by them. But, noooo -- apparently, they fell in love with him and had to defend him at any cost. And, yes, that sh!t stank of Smith and we are STILL seeing the repercussions today.

    • I absolutely loved the last few episodes—devoured them! If Trisha and Ambyr’s performances aren’t Emmy-worthy, I don’t know what is. I wasn’t bothered by the lawyer girl not being at the gala from the start, or the grandkids being absent, or Vanessa being MIA. It just goes to show how unnecessarily huge the Dupree family is. And like Toups said, you can’t cram the entire cast into a single episode. Minor nitpicks: Yeah, Ted seriously needs a recast—been saying that since day one. I still don’t know where he stands, and he just comes off as a generic nice guy. Not having Ted and Bill share a single scene since the show started? Huge missed opportunity. And not having Leslie get anywhere near Bill in one of her wigs? Another big miss. It really weakened the impact of her big reveal about Bill’s involvement. Now it just feels a bit like fan fiction. I’m totally confused by Vanessa and Doug’s “arrangement.” One moment it seems like they’re in an open relationship, and the next Vanessa acts completely shocked when Doug so much as hints at her “distractions.” Huh? Can anyone explain what’s going on there?
    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.
