I agree with the right writer Jack dying could be a huge emmy winning story for AMC. But it would have to be cancer or something bulid the story up for about 6 months or so and then have him die with all his family there. Such a story would also give walt a canhce at a Emmy. just having him die in a car crash would do much. Plus walt's hardcore fan's would stick around for the aftermath.

I agree with you on the way Jack is written as the villian against the 'herioc' Lavery's - but if I recall - who last summer got all the backlash from the fans? It wasn't Jack - it was Ryan.

Now with Jonathan and the current storyline, there are still many Jack supporters who feel he is acting the right way as a father - I for one am torn bc both characters have their best intentions towards Lily - so for me the story is mildly gripping.

Also, sure Erica is getting more screentime for the Josh storyline - but Jack has been on way more than once a week for his own daughter's storyline....and when he isn't on - I've heard it is bc he's on tour and needed some time off AMC. The rumor is that they are working very hard around Walt's comedy schedule. Now if that isn't true, then I'll take what I said back.

I agree that it sucks for Erica and Jack to rarely talk anymore or interact or use each other as posts to lean on for support.....BUT it all got screwed up right after the Mardi Gras ball when Jack got hurt and was rarely seen in the hospital all bc Walt needed time off from shooting. After that, he got wrapped up in Lily's NYC mess and by then Erica was deep into the Kendall in a coma and Madden mess. It's just hard to get Jack and Erica together when they are involved in completely separate storylines - which I think all got started due to timing constraints and storylines.

Anyway, we see Jack way more often these past 2 years than we have since the 10 years before that....minus that Kit Fisher mess in the 90's, which fans hated, which I think was written by McTavish....so why would Jack be so happy for McT to return if fans hated the way he was written in her past tenure? I'm guessing it's bc he knew he'd have more screentime, which he is now getting....and I prefer this Jackson over the Kit Jackson anyday.

LOL :) It was the first thing that came to mind. Plus P&G did totally go a different way with their Craig recast. Young looking handsome Hunt Block, for the dark haired, older Jeffery Meek.

I'm just saying is all.

They should not kill off the only Montgomery brother left. They killed off Travis for NO REASON whatsoever (they could have come up with another reason for Bianca to stay with Erica) and killing of Jack would be a complete mess.

The women need their Montgomery man and Jack is the only one (I don't even count Sean...puhleeze...the thought of him makes me roll my eyes). They can put Jack in a coma from which he can emerge from in a couple years, but killing him...just no.

Personally, I don't blame Walt at all. If he is that unhappy with the direction of AMC and his character, then he should go to a network/show that respects him and their characters and history. If Frons really believes in dumbing down all ABC shows for the teens and not utilizing the rich history of each show and character, then Walt would be smart to leave ABC altogether and go to CBS. McTavish is a horrible writer and AMC is the worst that it has ever been, but if another writer takes her place and Frons is still pushing his incredibly stupid ideas, then AMC/ABC is just going to continue to be a complete mess. If WW gets out now, he will leave before ABC daytime becomes history.

As far as others trying to leave and exploring their options, I hope Julia Barr is one of those. She hasn't had a storyline forever and it sounds like the show wants to get rid of her. I would love it if she found a place on another show and then won an Emmy. That would show them!!! I think Thorsten Kaye is another one who is looking. I wouldn't be surprised if he is gone by November.

AMC is such a mess. I think they almost need to start from scratch at this point. Getting a new writer would help but firing Frons would be even better!!!

Well if McTavish is still writing the show maybe Travis ISN'T dead! Maybe Dr.Madden is the one that declared Travis dead and then ushered him off to his 2nd island of "Presumed Dead People". All this was to get revenge or w/e on Erica.

While speaking to Walt earlier today, my Jackson Posse Co-Founder/Partner Deb and I discussed this rumor with him and he asked us to inform everyone that this is absolutely untrue, he has not met with anyone about anything pertaining to this, and he has no intention of going anywhere!

We hope this puts the minds of Walt's many fans at ease

Thanks for taking the time to investigate this jackericafan. It really makes me wonder about the validity of a lot of so-called "inside" information, although I continue to hope that the rumor of a new headwriter is true. Personally, the first person I thought of when I read this was Vincent Irizarry. MMT hasn't written a real storyline for him in over 3 years and I wouldn't blame him for looking elsewhere, especially if it was his old soap.

      date: Wednesday, June 4 | Sara A. Bible, Danielle Paige | Phideaux Xavier Anita is definitely lost in space. The space of her own mind and history. Oh, hello, miss eye-sex at the bar of Uptown! I see you eye-sexing Ms Chelsea! We love to see it. Shanice stopped Dana dead in her tracks. Good on her. It comes out: Barbara was the fourth Articulette, started the group, came up with the name, etc. Dante Greene is about to become the most hated man to exist in this universe, and that's a high-level position that many covet. I appreciate seeing Anita own up to her wrongdoings and that Vernon is still by her side. So, Sharon wants to use Anita for her own benefit, and that does surprise me. That ugliness is right there. At least Tracy, outwardly, seems more open to forgiving Anita and reuniting for the one-off concert. I had a feeling it might've been a stroke (or mini-stroke) but did not want to admit it. It hits close to home for me. Very close. Oh, that glimmer and gleam in Bill's eye and that ever-so-slight smirk on his face of Dani checking on him at the hospital. Yeah. He's still got it for her. Vernon continues to be a wise man with some wisdom unlike any other, and I love that he's getting through to Anita. Ugh. Sharon, you're ugly, ugly, ugly. You will reap what you sow. That's right, child bride, watch the woman that knows your husband better than you ever could. Katherine, mama, sit down and be careful. Now this is in the firm hands of Jacob and the police department. Dana, barking up Andre's tree. She works fast. Like a bitch in heat, fast. The one thing Tracy has with Anita that unites them is their love for Barbara and acknowledging her as part of the Articulette's history. Andre, you big dumb dumb. You never saw the suspect the footage before the police can. Ugh. Notes: For the first time in a while, we see Tide and get a commercial right after.

      I feel like they've worked out the kinks with most of the wigs (notably: Anita, Kat & Chelsea) but they still haven't gotten it right with Naomi. They need to cut her a custom hairline to account for her widows peak. I also don't think you can do a side part without addressing that.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By ranger1rg · Posted

      There's nothing about the Kyle/Claire pairing that makes me say "Damn, I really want them together."   Yep. Everything interesting about her was swept away.   We were supposed to be moved by that bracelet, but all I could think of was "We never see these kids." Oh, and hearing Harrison had a charm was LOL   Exactly. It's vets rinsing and repeating all the old hits. Josh Griffith thinks honoring history means giving us the same stories over again. Where are the young people on this show? WTH is going on? Cole is a perfect example to represent everything JG is. He does reference history and bring characters back, but it's invariably a huge disappointment. Cole has done NOTHING since his return. Now he's sick, and instead of us worrying about him, we're smirking because these wealthy people won't call a doctor. I don't think anyone cares if he lives or dies.   Complete disaster. The Alexander Dumas story is the worst of all. ALL this buildup for ALL these months -- you just know it's going to land with a thud. Even the best writer couldn't follow through with something good. Will any of it matter? Two days after we see all these shocked faces when Dumas appears, we'll be back to talking about takeovers and changes in job titles.   None of this will change unless Josh Griffith is fired, and unfortunately, the ratings aren't calling for a firing. I will never understand why Y&R and B&B are immune to long periods of relly bad storytelling.

      I find Kat annoying but Colby plays the part well! I do like the antagonism between Kat/Eva and Kat/Leslie.  Leslie has balls. I found it a bit annoying at first, but at least the writers are keeping it as a throughline. The "twist" of Eva hiding the evidence to protect Leslie was nice. I hope it's a way to keep Leslie going longer. I was afraid she'd get written into a corner and she's one of the best finds of the show.  Tamara is nailing her scenes. I was losing interest in the Articulettes, but Barbara's suicide and now Sharon wanting to use the reunion to push herself at Anita's expense have me interested again.  Nice to see Dani tone it down with Bill and Hayley.

      Uh oh, is Bill giving Dani some hope here? He appreciated her concern, so it's not all hate there. Hayley doesn't seem so pleased.

      For all of Kat's interest in "true crime" shows, she doesn't seem to understand some things.  I mean, you don't tell the suspect your suspicions too early -- you don't want the suspect to cover it up before there's enough for an arrest.  Kat shouldn't have told Leslie that she'd found the jacket and the receipts.
