Let's take a bet that it's going to be Ron Carlivati 😳😳😳

If the show becomes half as entertaining as her autobiography...

I'll take ANYONE, and I mean that.

ANYONE is better than Josh Griffith, who has ruined this show. It's beyond awful, and fanfic writers on Reddit could do a better job.

Redditors appear to love Roger, Matt, and Matt/Phyllis together. I’m just assuming a lot of them weren’t watching in the ‘90s, given Reddit’s demographics. There’s a small but vocal minority that agrees with the general consensus here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Soap operas and Reddit don't mix, and I rebuke anything they have to say.

I wasn't literal with my example of fanfic writers from Reddit.

Still, I stand by my point that anyone is better than Josh Griffith.

Would anyone be here for Bob Guza taking over as head writer?

I would take it over RC.

I don't envy the new headwriter having to try and clean up JG's 6 years of slop. And having to work on a budget of $1.98. Plus a mindset that insists Victor be the lead and Phyllis the loveable troublemaker.

Hopefully no more psychos, kidnappings and corporate takeovers. That would be the first positive steps.

Y&R: Josh Griffith steps down as head writer

Bill Bell's grandchildren are all grown AFAIK. I wonder if any of them inherited his talent.

That's what I was thinking of - if they may have curtailed that story because of Noelle handing in her notice.
Thanks for answering me about Heather. I can buy Clay not caring, but I think Gwyn by that point in her life would have cared - a little too much.
I wonder if new viewers just thought they were both Jack's kids. Sadly, any layers they could have mined never happened due to the show ending.

And SONY & the Bells need to stop taking so much $$ from it. Obviously, the show's budget is the same as (or more than) other daytime shows, but it APPEARS far cheaper, which can only mean that excessive distributions are made to the owners, at the expense of the show itself. That needs to stop. And if it means cutting out a few of the higher paid veteran performers, then do it. They can't continue operating the show on a $2.10 per episode budget with unimaginative writing.

I've been crossing my fingers that the musical episode will turn up on that channel eventually.
In late 1993, when the show is toying with a Clay/Gwyneth/Buck/Stacey quad, there's an episode where Stacey hosts a birthday party for Heather that Clay and Gwyneth both attend - and Clay spends most of it openly wondering to Gwyn why they even have to be there. In general Gwyn and Clay are pretty hands off grandparents, even with Christopher, who you'd think they'd be obsessed with given how obsessed they were with Trisha.
They sort of did do a Stacey/Trucker/Trisha triangle in 1992, with Stacey confessing to Trisha that she had fallen in love with Trucker and Trucker briefly having amnesia and thinking that he and Stacey were together.

And Katherine would be back with a f**king drink in her hand.

Lol I wasn’t gonna go there but that would totally be his way of thinking. He did bring back Victor Lord, Irene Manning, and I think Frank Smith who all older characters who everyone saw die onscreen years before they were brought back to life…

Y&R: Old Articles

@Paul Raven Thank you for the article on Nikki introduction.
Erica Hope original recipe Nikki Reed was introduced as the troublemaking younger sister of the new doctor in town and she was a promiscuous girl.
Melody Thomas Nikki Reed wanted to be loved and adored and cared for, but was lacking in both book smarts and street smarts, thus the shady modeling agency fronting for prostitution ring, the cult, the pole. Climbing the pole lead to Nikki Reed becoming Nikki Newman the OG ho turned housewife. Even though Nikki was from a working class background, I don't think she came across as being all about the come up but she got the come up when she became Mrs. Victor Newman.
Melody Thomas Scott Nikki Newman went from the OG ho turned housewife to snooty lady of the manor and is now messy matriarch/grande dame.

Y&R needs a massive overhaul - this is a show that actually needs good new characters and a proper focus on youth, and to stop the over reliance on Victor, Nikki, and Jack and their horrible stories. I don’t care that Eric Braeden is the face of the show to many, he’s pushing 90 and needs to start taking a backseat so the show can better prepare for a future without him.

That's pretty much how I feel about it. Worst I've ever seen. It was so bad that I didn't see how it was sustainable.
