She won the Daytime Emmy Award for Younger Actress in 1992 for that story too. Her acceptance can be seen at the 38:50 mark. 

 

 

The story involving Amanda's family has been an afterthought. The trial excerpts were beyond awful. Amanda and Michael in a panelled corner. C'mon. This is THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, not local city hall coverage. Josh Griffith has done poorly by Amanda and her offscreen family. At least GENERAL HOSPITAL has a courtroom set, a judge, a prosecutor and a bailiff. Shame on CBS and Y&R.

 

The momentum for good story was there, but the writers dropped the ball. Imani could be a great addition. Naya could be working with Nikki on charity functions. The never cast husband (Paging Rif Hutton <cough>) should be on, resenting Amanda. It doesn't take a genius to make this story work, just some interest.

RIP

All Of This!!! 

So sad to read about Jerry Douglas passing away, and so soon after his birthday. I'm sure there will be an in memoriam segment in the next few days.

i haven't watched since the wedding and reading synopses etc, apart from Chance's 'death' I have missed nothing.

The same character, conversations.

I did skim through the Wed episode.

OMG the 'courtroom' scenes were an embarassment-that whole story is played like an outline. There is potential but its not explored.

Jessie Gaines gets a hotel room hideaway but they won't do an office set for characters (Jack,Lauren,sally,Chloe,Michael, Devon etc) that are wandering around empty restaurants.

Noah has been back a few weeks and all we've got so far is some vague backstory.

Faith/Moses has received no play.

Abby and that damn doll.

Most of the female characters are dressed like hookers.

I will tune in to see new Chance and Jill.

 

Tuned in for the first time in a while, and they’re doing another missing person story, this time with Abby? 

Josh is lazy af.

So Abby leaves her baby with Devon, even though both grandmas and a nanny with with whom he would presumably have bonded with are present in his life and willing to look after him.

It’s sad when someone is a really good actor, as Jason Thompson can be, and he’s simply a poor fit for his role. I thought he was really strong today.

Lily is a twit.

   Jason Thompson is the best actor in the role of Billy period IMHO.  Lily is NO twit.  The writers and exec producer of the show are ruining several characters --- Billy, Nick, Sharon, lesser degree Lily, Mariah.  I do think the baby Dominic storyline is very,very lousy as is almost everything written for this show.  

It makes absolutely no sense why Abby wouldn’t tell her family that Chance is alive before leaving to find him. None.

Agreed, makes her look like she doesn't care about the baby, with acting like she was losing it, SMH at the stupid writing.   So Abby went from being compulsively crazy about getting a baby, to now not giving an f about it.   Y&R needs new writers and exec producer ASAP!

Alan Locher will welcome Christian J. LeBlanc (Michael, Y&R) to his YouTube show, The Locher Room. LeBlanc will be on hand to celebrate his 30^th anniversary of joining Y&R. The live interview will take place on Wednesday, December at 3 p.m. ET
