I think they'll read it.

 

Will they take the comments seriously? That's another question all together.

 

I kept repeating to put the emphasis back on the vets and those connected to them. My one character I miss the most is Jill. I know Jess Walton semi-retired, but the show really needs the complex character with such a long history living back in the Chancellor mansion and driving story.

 

I also wrote that it felt as if the show was trying to drive away long-term viewers on purpose as crazy as that sounds.

Rey isn't bad IMO. They problem is that Mal did for him the same thing JFP did for Dylan. It was too much then and it's too  much now. Rey's been handed it all:

 

Not 1 but 2 rivals in Nick and Arturo

Not 1 but 2 love interests in Sharon and Mia

A job which gives him so much to do and they've purposely written story for him to be on constantly

Came on immediately thrust into story with the shows main players

 

Only thing Mal didn't do was retcon history to make him John or Jack's son.

I wrote in for Jess’s Jill in all ways and said that it is a shame that we do not see her running the Chancellor manse and that she is not the equal of Victor and Jack, especially in these times if the show should stay in any way relevant. Those three should be running the show, especially because Jill is an original character. I also said that Paul can stay away and the aggressive introduction of Rosales characters is offensive.

Balance.  I also discussed how much I miss the dramatics of how the show was produced- dark lighting, lush scenery, and the classic music.

 

And I talked about Hilary and Ashley- two characters/actors the show should not have let slip away.  I specifically said that I would like to see Jill, Lauren and Ashley be treated like the show would treat Jack.  Always a love interest.  Always a business story.  Always a rivalry.  Always allowed to have layers.  Those women deserve that.  Let Jack ride the back burner for a year.  Or ten as with Jill.

 

No point at this time to tell them that Phyllis is still too young for me and would have made a better Victoria.  Those ships have sailed.

Did anyone else notice that all major recurring characters, like Jill, Traci, Lauren, Christine, and even Noah, were choices on multiple questions, but Paul was completely absent?   Even Neil who has been off screen for months was a choice.  Doug Davidson really made somebody mad at either Sony or CBS to be so callously cut out of the show.

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

    • Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.
    • It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
