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.

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.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      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 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.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      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.

      Y&R: April 2025 Episode Rankings

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      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.

      The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
