I wish they hadn't given up on Kyle versus Noah. 

 

 

[BetterForgotten]

Robert Adamson just doesn't work as Noah in the long-term, IMO. He now looks too damn old for the role, yet has the puny voice that no one can take seriously. 

 

Better writing would help, but they need a more formidable and charismatic actor in that role. 

[Soapsuds]

They should've keep Kevin Schmdt in the role. I preferred him over Robert.

 

 

 

He's gotten a little pudge...but still looks good..

Lol...couldn't agree more.

[Aback]

 

Big agree.

Why is Phyllis begging for Adam's help like she is like a child about to have a tantrum?

[antmunoz]

Because Stafford is good at tantrums and they’re playing to her strengths?

[cattykittens]

 

Wouldn't Billy be Kyle's long term rival at Jabot?

 

Theo still isn't an Abbott. Although I could see Dina leaving him all the money she made from Devon from the sale of Mergeron. She knows all the Abbott's heirs are well taken care of.

 

I hope Chance is still coming.

 all they have her doing is either flipping out, looking brain dead or throwing a tantrum. no long term writing for her....and it becomes more and more apparent to me that Gina should NOT have been let go to bring Michelle on. BTW....have her and PB had any scenes together?

[DramatistDreamer]

 

Just a guess/joke but she probably made sure to get it in writing that she wouldn't have to do any scenes with PB, lest people be reminded of their chemistry.

[Roman]

question. doe she dislike PB that much? she comes off to me as being rather high and mighty and feels she has more clout than she really does. GT showed everyone a good actress can come in and play that role.

[DramatistDreamer]

 

Just an observation but it seemed as if she didn't want her "Phyllis" to be tied to a character that she regarded as old. Her Phyllis would rather be on top of Nick, or Ronan or some guy who she sees as sexier, making her part of a hot, younger coupling.  It's just the way her body language came across the last time around when the writers decided that Phyllis loved Jack (just before she went into a coma after the tumbled down the stairs).  Because she was leaving the show, she could utter those words of love to Jack (in her mind, while unconscious, of course) but I thought she was going to choke on the words nevertheless, lol. 

I wonder if she returned to the show believing that Phyllis would remain paired with Billy as it was when GT was in the role?

[ranger1rg]

I highly doubt that Michelle Stafford made story and coupling demands before signing a contract to return. Rumors like that take on a life of their own and spread like wildfire, but there’s no evidence to any of that.

 

if I’m to believe what I read on soap social media, at least a half dozen Y&R actors make regular demands to the writers and producers. It’s bullshit.

Billy and Adam have been rivals for many years now. Who gets to run Jabot isn't at the heart of Theo and Kyle, IMO. 

[BetterForgotten]

Another part of the issue with Noah is that this show refuses to let Nick and Sharon grow the f.uck up and still writes them as if they’re 20-somethings.

[Forever8]

That too!!!

Nick and Sharon keep getting storylines tailored to their twenty-something children instead of storylines of someone who is forty. I mean you can still have strong story, but they shouldn't be in endless love triangles at almost 50 years old. If I was in charge I would put those together again with no room for the constant breaking up.. (Yeah I know some people don't want it) and let their children have the splashy hook-ups. Whilst, the two of them move onto the next phases of their lives.
