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.

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

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.

 

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

 

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.

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!

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.

    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
