The only things of some interest to me are Devon/Amanda/Nate/Elena and the Jack/Sally stuff. The rest of the show is a tragic mess and feels like it is being ghost written by Brad Bell aka Thudley the way it is stuck on repeat.

Hahahahaha!!! That is how I'm feeling. However if the Devon/Elena/Nate triangle managed to resurrect itself after being rushed a few months ago...maybe there's 'some' hope. 

 

I also want to see where Faith's story goes as well.

This month is a little bittersweet as February 14 would have been Kristoff St. John's 30th anniversary on Y&R. RIP.

 

On a happier note, two cast members will be having milestone birthdays this month. Sharon Case turns 50 on February 9, and Jess Walton turns 75 on February 18.

WOW.

 

That is bittersweet. Where I am watching right now, Devon was talking to Amanda about his relationship with Tucker and how as far as he was concerned Neil was his father. Just in how BJ said it, I felt that. RIP.

 

50 and 75. And they still look fierce.

Congrats to Jess Walton (Jill, as the longest running character in the show's history ought to be a major player, on par with Victor and Jack).

 

Congrats to Sharon Case, 50 and fabulous.

 

That KSJ milestone is sad for so many reasons- what might have been. There is a small group, in terms of actors currently on the canvas who have been on longer than KSJ: DD, MTS, EB, ED, BM, TB, KL, TC (don't know if I have forgotten anyone). As it was, KSJ was the longest running African American actor on the show. Now it's Bryton, it's as if a whole history of Black actors no longer even exist on this show, and I'm not even talking about just VR and TLW.

That was something that was on my mind recently. I saw the SOD cover with Devon/Elena/Nate triangle and I had to think how long has it been since Bryton was on the cover outside of a general Sweeps/Seasonal cover. He's been around for a loooong time. 

 

I know there has been discussion for good and bad over Theo and good to tie him to one of the first families on Y&R, but the execution was lacking. And there was definitely more they could do with him now that they did it since he's in the right age range. But the history of black characters of this show? That's a whooole other avenue of history to think about and pull from as well. Lost opportunity. Especially since there is history there...some of which I know of thanks to here and mags but before my time.

Snowstorm coverage will likely preempt everything in the NYC viewing area and other affected places in the Northeast.

 

Edit: I was wrong. CBS2 is airing Y&R
 

This Chelsea “story” is stupid af, with Sharon “treating” her. It’s almost as if they are intentionally making the show unwatchable.

Here in CT we get to see cute doggies and watch people shiver and talk about snow.  You live in New England people, just look out your window....

Then again, can't miss much if whiny-ass Chelsea eats the episode.......

 

Oh well  back to watching

Lauralee, I forgot about. I was thinking of PB at the time, thought I had typed his name, guess not.

I'm talking about active and alive characters still on the canvas. There really aren't tbat many, imo. Nonetheless, my point really is that no other African American actor still on the show has anywhere close to the level of seniority of Sharon or Nick, let alone Paul or Lauren. KSJ came the closest and he's gone. People say Bryton has been on for a long time. Yes and no, on a show where you have people on for 20, 30+ years, it's not remarkable.

I predict that Faith will self harm or try to kill herself because of how Nick and Sharon are ganging up on her and not allowing her to see her friends.  Then she will end up in a psych ward and maybe her character will be written off.  Then she will reappear 5 years later, played by an older actress (SORAS).

    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
