I'm not sure if Y&R was ever a popular show for its realism. What is missing is the glamour, the complex character work and years-long storylines that are well-plotted. And those aren't coming back, with or without Diane.

So in addition to finally addressing the Keemo situation Y&R doubles down and throws in a 'back from the dead' of an unrelated character.

Surely the arrival of Jack's grandchild would have been enough?

It would be more logical for Mari Jo Mason to be involved if they wanted to introduce a love interest for Jack.

Yes please

People were already tuning out before she even arrived. Without keemo she pointless.

What happened to her? I don't even remember. Did she go to jail for shooting Victor?

I was always under they impression that Alex Donnelly was fired due to ageism. They wanted to do the Phyllis/Diane rivalry but wanted someone who *looked* closer to MS's age (Donnelly and Stafford are only 6 years apart).

Anyway, this would be exciting if the show was remotely good. And if Kyle was actually on canvas.

I don't understand why the show doesn't bring back Cameron Kirsten (played by Susan Walters' husband Linden Ashby). That would be generate story for Sharon, Nick, Mariah and Noah. Hell throw Victor and Nikki in there too. He's also still ALIVE. And he's a VILLAIN. This show has such middle of the road characters, we need someone to spice things up.

From growing up and as soaps changed, I would have to add realism onto that list as well.

  With the years-long storylines on top on that, it just resonated...hit different...when something (finally) hit its climax. In real time at that.

Another possibility is that Kyle was aware Diane was alive, but kept it secret knowing how many people really wanted her dead. It would be a far better twist and certainly cause a ton of friction with Jack and Summer. It'll be boring if they bring back Kyle just so he can cry and rant on his mom for two weeks and then disappear.

Victor was just the absolute worst under MAB. I want to forget all that horribleness starting with Colleen’s death. I can’t help but remember a lot of interviews with Braeden around that time shrugging off how Victor was being written or trying to justify it. I think this was post MAB but I’m still pissed off he had the nerve to say Sharon was more crazier then Victor! Someone though written OOC was written to have a mental illness.

      Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this

      This was late 1993, right before Roger is shot.

      Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).

      It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.

      Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.

      Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.

      That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.

      I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross.

      Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.
