Y&R turns 50 next March. The first 25 years of the show were written by Bill Bell; the last 25 years of the show have been written by myriad people.

Yes, but the second 25 years are still based on what Bill created. One tried to veer away from it. Do I need to mention who tried to change it?

At first I was mad at Billy for being so sympathetic with Chelsea after being a bit strict with her last episode. But thank god Victoria got him on her side. As much as I understand and love Chelsea she has to keep her space from Johnny. I enjoy this story coz Amelia Heinle is really reeling me in with her acting. I’m really siding with her on this topic. She should at least get a nomination next year. I don’t get the hate anyway. Her abuse story with JT (which I still thought was horrendous coz that wasn’t JT at all) and the Acting was phenomenal 

I don’t care for Diane and her secret life in La. But I do care for Jack/Diane. They would make such a great couple. They always had something great even when it was Terry and the other Diane. That kiss was nice. 
That Mystery Men (Tucker) tried a bit too hard with his lines to come off threatening. 
 

wasn’t Tucker the guy that was involved with Ashley (played by Days Stephen Nichols) back in the day? I think he was on at the same time we had some many daytime superstars on Y&R like Genie Francis, Tristan Rogers , Maura West etc.

FINALLY! YES! Elena/Nate broke up! I‘ve waited so long for this. Elena is one of those characters the writers try to make happen and let those characters click with the audience. But Elena just never clicked and just won’t. They should give up on that character. She was boring with Devon and she is boring with Nate. Nate/Imani I could actually see or a Victoria/Nate hook up

Bruh… Adam is getting on my nerves. I don’t remember being that annoyed by Adam when Justin played him. Sent him on a vacation for a month or so. And of course Chloe/Adam had a little go with each other again

Kyle/Summer - The filler couple of YR!

    • Ok, I know nothing about Another World except their catchy intro song from long ago, but this makes me want to catch!  That crazy mother keeping her son's girlfriend or wife hostage, wow! 
    • And maybe Hotel could have been placed at 9pm Tues instead of Paper Dolls. Not that I thing it was a surefire thing but at least viewers were familiar with the show and it might have done better than PD. ABC's line up was pretty threadbare at that point. And with a big guest star to launch the season - Elizabeth Taylor- the numbers would have been there initially.
    • Any fan of RuPaul would dispute calling any of these examples “drag”. A costume?, A disguise?, A lame attempt at humor? -- yes -- Drag? -- nope
    • No asterisk. I meant that the circumstances during the first year were in her favor.
    • Maybe I am misunderstanding you? Are you suggesting that her success at GL should have an asterisk next to it because she was smart enough to exploit a weakness in the marketplace to gain ratings?  Note: Try not to take this personally—I’m not accusing anyone of being consciously misogynistic. I’m simply proposing that the origins of certain ideas about Ms. Phelps—such as claims that she was unprepared or a poor manager of her writing staff—may be rooted in misogyny. Perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight, it's worth reconsidering those opinions. At the very least, imagine being one of the few women in the room while a male network executive tries to decide what women want to watch during the day. That context has certainly led me to reassess many of my own long-held views.
    • Through 78 and 79 under Marland and Pat Falken smith GH was still heavily hospital based with a mix of storylines. The Doctors would have been fine had they followed that template. Once GH went with Ice Princess all bets were off.Who knows how much TD would have copied that direction? And OLTL, DOOL went in that direction quite heavily while other shows dabbled in far out stories. The thing is that TD was well set up for an expansion.
    • Thank you

    • Aaron Spelling still had clout with ABC in Fall 1984, as I think they knew he was going to pull out all the stops for Dynasty to get to #1, which he did. That's probably why ABC kept Hotel as Dynasty lead out. Fall 1985 with the sale to Capital Cities and Brandon Stoddard arrival, Aaron Spelling would lose his clout with ABC.
    • Correction, July 1991 to May 1995. JFP got the ratings up during her first year, but it also helped that ABC big three were tanking at various times during that year and Days was in their post-supercouple/pre-Reilly mess era. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during the Calhoun/Long/Curlee era did not reflect the quality of the show.
