Just about all of this was resolved when Hartley was in then role but I guess JG was so obsessed with dialing it back to 2013 he just overlooked it. The Kansas retcon was completely unnecessary and shows the inability of the writing staff to tell a new story for once. No wonder Y&R’s main pages have such negativity in the comment sections since returning.

I finally caught up on the show last week.

The Adam and the Adam  needs to move on.

 

Dear Josh Griffith:

 

No one was clamoring for insecure whiner Chelsea to return.  No one.  No one.

It took close to a year to make Sharon a viable character again after the bunch of you (writers) ruined her, and now you have her  constantly back in Adam's orbit. Please stop.

 

Lola gets a piece of ass and suddenly is more insufferable than when Kyle pursued her. The character has been a wash since her creation.  Why is she never actually cooking?  Just pouting. and whining. and complaining...  I guess Theo didn't scratch the itch......

 

The pre- shutdown work around the Sharon story was solid. Her support system of Nick, Rey, Faith and Mariah worked, as did the scenes with Jack, Nikki, Summer even Phyllis.  Then it just breaks down to Adam.  I wasn't a fan of Rey, but I've come around a bit.

 

They should invest in Maria DeDomenico.  The Alyssa character and the actress fill a gap the show has needed to fill-- A person from a middle-class  (not rich), a reporter/investigator.  Plus I think the actress is actually good.

 

For all the new folks here that dislike Summer as played by Hunter King...  thank Puhney Muhney for the fact that the show won't be letting her go.  If he could have kept his hands and mouth in line, she would have been out for good when she left.  I don't know why these shows insist on marrying off their twenty-something characters like it's a race.

 

I thought we were finally rid of Tessa, but no.....Jeez, does Mariah have to suck a "D" to make her leave... And who is Cait Fairbanks banging to keep her job?

 

The Nate-Amanda-Devon-Elena quad has potential.  It's funny that aside from Jared (Michael MacLane) no patients can speak.  Is there a no talking sign in the lobby?  Obviously they can't afford to pay for patients to have lines.  

 

I do like Amanda's interactions around the canvas...  ChanceCom, the Clinic helping with Jared, her friendship with Phallus.  She should have been brought back as Hillary, but I'll take Mishael any way I can.

 

The Abbotts seem like an afterthought---  appearances every few days.  I'd rather see them than more of "The Newman Show."   I loved the Jack-Jill scenes.  I think the Traci working in town can only help the canvas.  Beth Maitland's scenes with Christel are always wonderful. Find a way to keep ED around-- hire a co-head writer with talent.

 

Don't give two f*cks about MTS wearing a wig.  Can't blame anyone for wanting less up-close interactions-- or whatever reason.

The Abbotts have been slowly killed or written off since LML/MAB which is the shame because the characters are definitely better Nick, Victoria (since 2005), and Adam. And yes, if I was watching, I would prefer to watch PB,ED, BM than what the Newmans are offering. 
I don’t care for Summer and Kyle. I find the characters and their portrayers to be mediocre from the bits I’ve seen of them.  They should marry and write them off the until the show is canceled.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
