It's guess it's time for my monthly question, where the hell are Imani and Naya?!

On the topic of Chloe, why is she still on this show?

Can't give Griffith any praise at all and it's annoying. He's a nice guy.

JG might be as sweet as pie, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the abysmal way he's been writing this show.  Y&R is in a lot of trouble, and if he can't find a way to fix that, then he needs to go.  Period.

Lol. Look, assuming for a moment this hasn't been an elaborate troll along (which would take commitment rarely seen even here), it’s cool that you really don’t care what they put onscreen so long as Adam is frontburner, dude. There’s always fans who will watch anything so long as ‘their fave’ is on. That and general inertia is just about the only thing keeping Y&R alive. But if that’s your only criterion for quality (and it’s clear it is, since you don’t really know much about this show or any other soap you ask about) then please don’t get mad at other people for feeling differently from you because they remember when the show was a quality product and that makes you feel unhappy or out of place. If this place ain't for you, move on with your life.

Honestly, even if I was an Adam fan, I'd still be pissed over how the show is writing him these days.  The fact that he's on so often would make no difference to me.

“Y&R” is still beautifully produced and well-cast

I think Marlena must still be watching on the black and white portable she used to watch Love of Life in the 70's.

Beautifully produced ?- cramped, cheaply decorated sets, empty public spaces, basic staging, poor lighting, crappy music, ill fitting/gaudy costuming etc

Indeed, all is not lost in Genoa City. How great it is to see the always energetic Melissa Claire Egan (who plays Chelsea Lawson) back from maternity leave.

Chelsea is way past use by. She's one of those characters that should be long gone to make space for newcomers or other ignored characters to get some airtime and energize the vet characters.

I’m really liking the pairing of Billy (JasonThompson) and Lily (Christal Khalil) as mature lovers who live together in harmony.

Mature? Billy is worse than a spoiled teen and Lily is an enabler.

To be blunt, “Y&R” isn’t the least bit exciting. And that’s a tragedy for a soap that has never in its long history been hard to watch.

Well, she got that bit right.

Yeah, I don't understand Marlena's love for Chelsea either.  You could literally stop featuring her tomorrow -- pretend she was just a figment of everyone's imagination -- and absolutely nothing on the show would be affected at all.

Chelsea is redundant with Sally on the canvas.

I don't agree with all of Marlena's thoughts, but she knows how dull the show is.

Well, Imani has been super busy with her new law firm- in fact, the girl has been making serious waves in the GC legal scene.

And of course, settling in to her fabulous new apartment-she still gets chills thinking how lucky she was to score such a terrific space.

As for dating- well, there have been a couple of guys she been seeing. One is a very successful real estate broker who was a client and the other is a tech wiz running an international business. Bit for now she's keeping it light.

As for Naya, she well on the way to recovery and reconnecting with her husband. They just went on aromatic cruise together.

All of this will be detailed on a Wed ep  when Amanda catches up with her sister for lunch at Society. 

Nate will stop by and Imani will tell him he looks mighty fine in that color shirt.

To me, neither Chelsea NOR Sally belong on this show.  Especially if all they're gonna keep doing is fight over some doucheboat who won't give either of their panties a second sniff.

Where can I see this spinoff?  It sounds more exciting than Y&R!

As the old saying goes: Each to their own. 

None of these stories interest me at all.

Who cares if Adam and Victoria our fighting over some media companies? Who do they think they're Kendall and Shiv Roy from Succession? 

This Dominic custody storyline is dull. 

Chloe, Chelsea, and Sally are all the same archetypes with lack of writing. 

Josh might be a great guy, but he is a dull writer who needs to be replaced ASAP! 

I’m not sure what being a nice guy has to do with writing a terribly boring show.

Nice guys get fired every day for being sh!tty at their jobs. 

When they don’t get fired, time to look at the boss. Whatever JG’s doing is getting approved/supported on high or at least tolerated/ignored. 

I’m trying to imagine what JG’s Y&R would look like paired with Michael Malone.

Worse than what we currently have, or just a different kind of pain?
