Members Liberty City Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 "Fans" complain the moment things don't go the way they want them to. People called for Anthony Morina and Josh Griffith, and while I hate it, I love it at the same time, because this what those "fans" asked for. For me, it comes down to the fact that The Young and the Restless is no longer "not to miss." It's missable. I don't miss it. That's what Morina and Griffith have done since day one of their takeover. Steve Kent has got to go. He's the major problem. At least when Angelica McDaniel was head of CBS Daytime, I feel like she bridged some kind of gap. Now? There is no bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Which is totally true. For me, at least, those earlier eras were beyond missable. I actively avoided them at points because if I tuned in, I might vomit lol. To say something nice: I like Stafford and Courtney Hope together (today they felt evenly matched and played well off of each other). I just wish their characters’ feud was grounded in something more real. Edited August 30, 2021 by Faulkner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yes. I agree with this. There are kernels of stuff here and there that tells me the fundamentals are still there which makes the dreg we are watching even more frustrating. I mean I am not going to say I am fully sure which era I "prefer" since I detest both. Ironically this might turn out to be the very phenomenon we were talking about whereby the reason I am placing the current show below is because I am mad it is what is currently on my screen but in a few years with the benefit of hindsight I will see more benignly because it is entirely true they are doing very little that is damaging long-term creatively, contra the 2006 era. But, man, getting us to a point where we just don't care anymore might be an even worse fate for the show long-term even if it later becomes better. I have moments where I miss the rage I felt at how horrible some of the character developments of the 2005-2015 show were. If they had Sharon marry Victor now, I am not sure how much I'd care anymore. And THAT is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 Just like that Stitch is gone Please register in order to view this content I’ll call it now; I fully predict Sally is now going to stage her Murder and of course frames Phyllis for it. This show is so predictable lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 31, 2021 Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 Again, Amelia Heinle and Christel Khalil are good together. But Victoria and Lily tussling over anything Billy-related is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted September 1, 2021 Members Share Posted September 1, 2021 Can anyone give me a timeline of events regarding Mariah's pregnancy/kidnapping? Stitch kidnapped her to get Abby back? What? I don't understand this story at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
