I loved Chris Engen, he had the vintage Y&R look (just like the first Heather).

I liked Chris too. Whatever his reasons for going were I thought he embodied what Adam should have been.

They've had four liked or well-liked actors in the role of Adam, which is more than you can say for many Y&R recasts. The writing has well and truly been the failing of this character, that and the show's worship of certain Newmans.

You ain't kiddin'! Between all the talk about Douglas Marland vs. the Dobsons and all the re-watches of episodes from the Rauch/Esensten & Brown era, you'd think GL was still on the air, lol!

Part is probably because we can discuss decades and decades (sometimes even the radio days), which we can't with Y&R in this thread, but there's also just something so ossified, so numbing about Y&R's last few decades. The exact opposite of anything Bill Bell wanted his show to be.

I had some classic GL thread pages bookmarked to read maybe 3 weeks ago and man that thing moves like wildfire. I wouldn't know where to begin. I think it's hilarious that the GL thread is outrunning this one.

I don't think Jason Thompson really wants to leave per se, but his comments recently re: wanting to play opposite Braedyn Bruner on GH (who plays his former character's daughter) does make me wonder if he's a bit wistful. I wouldn't hate JT's Patrick appearing for a short stint as a Steve Hardy-esque figure to mentor some new doctors. He's still a very handsome man but he's aged quickly in the last decade and he was always an odd fit for Billy at best. I think JFP (and subsequent producers) were much more enamored of him and his talent vs. his ever being right for the role.

No one will ever be Billy Miller (even poor David Tom who got a raw deal a little over a decade ago), so if this show ever gets its shít together again they might as well recast yet again. Fans won't blink at this point.

It does seem like we are getting more sets, so that’s one good thing I guess. We are actually seeing the characters in their homes again instead of just sitting and chatting at Crimson Lights or the GCAC. Hopefully it keeps up..
