Perhaps CBS should have taken that Moovnes payout and applied to their soaps!

The mistake made with Kyle is having him pine over Summer.

 

His character should be gay, but since they won’t go there, Kyle should be hitting on and scoring with girls all over Genoa City. 

 

OK, I’ve already outed myself on here as a Josh Morrow fan. I love the guy’s looks, and I like the way he plays Nick. I've also already said that this new version of Nick is NOT Nick, and that I don’t see this Dark Horse stuff as working.

 

Now this? Is Josh blackmailing Mal Young? Or does Mal secretly have the hots for JM? I don’t know what Mal sees that we’re not seeing in turning over so much budget and story to Nick 2.0

The whole Nick turns dark thing might have worked about 15 years ago...

[Soapsuds]

It might have worked with a better actor. JM can't pull this [!@#$%^&*] off.

Yeah, I'd hate to see Y&R turn into AW-style musical chairs that would damage the show. However I don't think they're are really any credible writers left in daytime. My problem with the TPTB of the show is Mal's vision and desires for the show. But if Sony enjoys the self-destruction so they wash their hands of the show, then who are we? Sony should just sell out their shares to the Bells.

That already happened the second(?) time Josh Griffith came back. It's gonna keep happening until they grind the show's budget down completely and cancel it in 5-15 years, unless the post-Moonves CBS dramatically changes its daytime priorities which I don't anticipate happening.

[RavenWhitney]

Mal is used to total creative control but it hasn't worked.  He's not a US daytime soap writer. I don't care what he wrote on BBC channels.  I think at this point if they keep him they may add writers but he will be in control.  I don't think he'd relinquish HW duties unless he was completely removed/fired.

[Cruising Soaps]

All I have to say is JM without his facial hair and a nice haircut has got me going.  

[Soapsuds]

Lord and I think he looks worse.....LOLOLOLOLOL

Hilary's been dead a month and Devon's already forgiven Lily.

I still say promote Christian McLaughlin to headwriter.

[frequentsoapfan]

I dont like Lily but Devon wasnt painting Hilary at a level of sainthood she didnt deserve and conveniently forgot why Lily didnt like her. I understood him being upset but I never bought him completely turning on his sister for a woman he only knew a few of years.
