If they had really shown Chance endangering Dominic, and not just being a reluctant, out-of-it new dad, it would have justified Devon’s reaction more. But this show pulls its punches when it comes to drama.

It’d be such an easy thing to show to make this Devon story make sense.

I seriously hope Lily and Billy don’t have company sit on their couch. All they do is have couch sex.

Can Adam just confess he really wants Chloe already? I'd rather them as a pair rather than the back and forth between Adam/Sally and Adam/Chelsea. At least it would up the drama as both women realize they can't have him and he wanted someone else. Someone they confided in, for the most part. It would at least be dramatic and not ridiculous. Plus it would finally give Elizabeth Hendrickson something to do. She has done absolutely nothing on this show since the days of Chloe and Billy (Billy Miller) -- to be clear this wasn't a knock on EH. It's a knock on the writers.

For good reason! She should not still be on the show, anymore than Chelsea.

I agree, again for the most part. However, I do like EH and always have so I'm being slightly biased in this.

Anything to break up the repetitive scenes of Adam literally every single day telling Sally and Chelsea he’s not interested in either of them. Both ladies look pathetic. It’s not even a triangle.

But you won't like who the show kills.

Think again.   

It's kind of like what I just said in the LOVING/THE CITY thread: the writing on Y&R these days is serviceable.  Meaning, of course, it does the job...and nothing else.  It just doesn't have any "life," and that's because (IMO) so many characters have long played out or been written into corners they can't be written out of.  So, you know, even if a serial killer storyline meant the end of characters such as Jill, Traci, Lauren, etc....?  It'd suck to see them die, and see them die in such grisly fashion, but if it means jump-starting this show, then it's gotta be done.  Period.

😂😂😂 

 

There is only a handful of characters that I care about so I'd be fine with with everyone I listed being killed. 

If the serial killer's motive in bumping off various GC citizens because he feels that they have not been punished properly for their crimes, he could legitimately kill several cast members...

Let's see

Chloe shot Adam and is walking free.

Chelsea poisoned Rey and tried to frame Adam...walking free.

Adam switched his father's medication...walking free.

Nick impersonated his sister's ex and terrorized several women...walking free

And many more going back years.

Should kill Nikki too, of course. And at least make a serious attempt on Victor.

For someone who can cry on cue and produce somewhat credible emotions facially, Melissa Ordway is SO monotone and robotic in her delivery. Zero inflection or emotion in her voice.

Yep, she seems to have potential, but she just doesn't do much with it -- delivers all her lines exactly the same.

Totally. Flat as day-old soda. The guy who plays Chance isn’t much better.

Agreed.  And they're BOTH fairly charismatic, animated performers who either don't receive very good direction, or else they just ignore it and yawn their way through their scenes.  I saw them in a little interview, and they were both 10 times livelier than they are on the show.   

Ordway has 'seemed' to have potential for like 11 years! She doesn't have any, she's awful.

Melissa Ordway's just waiting for the Hallmark Channel (or GAC Family) to give her a jingle.

This Devon/Abby stuff needs to end. It's so boring. Does anyone really care which one the baby ends up with? 

So Lily who was the head of a smaller division of Chancellor becomes CEO of the whole corporation and they keep her in the same office? Wouldn't the head of a smaller division have an office out of the way somewhere? Now everyone is expected to go find her? LOL

Is the Coffee House really struggling for income so badly that Sharon has to get orders for everyone? Hasn't Sharon accumulated some money from her failed marriages? She can't pay someone else so she can gossip with everyone that comes?
