Not suprised about the writing issue- past history is re-written and disregarded on a daily basis on Y&R now. I’m excited to see Malcom again, and can only hope that the show will improve in the future!

Shemar coming back for 2 days and having so little air time is not a big deal ..
It will be fun to see Shemar again and that’s about it ..
So- Will Shemar’s return be satisfying? = No, not really.
But! it will be interesting and a fun event ..

(I FF most of Neil and I will hold my finger back to see Shemar 🙂 !!)

Thrilled about having Shemar back and his being open to recurring appearances. I’m pleased that the controversial show runner has enough respect for the actors and the history of the show. That’s a refreshing change from LML and MAB, who had zero respect for the history and trajectory of the show’s characters and stories. On another note, it’d be neat to have the recurring Tracy or Nina paired up with Malcolm. Let them get their grooves back!

He can always come back. I hope that this is the beginning of more appearances.

I guess it depends on the context of the conversation. As a long time viewer I have already seen these two brothers deal with their issues around Dru– I really don’t need a rehash of ancient history just for a stroll down memory lane if that is the only reason for bringing it up.

I would be more interested in them dealing with Sophia–how Neil married her when he didn’t love her — one would think Malcolm might be wanting to bring Neil to task for that one. He did give up Sophia so she could be with her baby’s father Neil.

Not against the history angle, just hope it is woven into the fabric of the story in an organic way; in a way that newer viewers will not feel left out of the loop and long time viewers like me aren’t left with a bad case of deju vu

In the wrestling business its called ‘Stroke.” Shemar has this since he is stepping down from his prime time hit to come back to his roots for two days and puts his two cents in on what he and Neil would or would not be talking about. Besides Stroke, it shows how awful the writers are that they cannot even write a character for TWO days! I wonder who else on the show cringes when they see their script but are NOT allowed to run to Jill?

Interesting comment about having the rewrite the scene. These writers seem so concerned with putting their imprint on the show that they ignore its history. This is something that long-time viewers notice every day. It is funny that a veteran actor from the show returns for a couple of days (thus, a couple of scripts) and immediately notices this.

Jean Passanante did the same thing on AWTW. She seemed so hellbent on making a character she created, Janet, a major player in Oakdale and paid little attention to the details of the show’s past. Look where all that wound up — The cancellation of a show that had been on the air for 54 years.

How in the world does someone like Passanante, a veteran “writer” whose resume includes a slew of long-running soaps cancelled while she is working her magical pen, manage to land a writing job on one of the few remaining shows??? This woman’s present writing career should be filling out customer orders at the Waffle House.

Oh, I can’t stand all the negative Nelly know-it-all’s commenting on here!! I’m super excited Shemar is going to be on the show for a couple of days, and he’s welcome to make an appearance any time! He’s awesome, the show is awesome, and I have no complaints about anything .. other than what I said in my first sentence. Life’s too short for that crap! Have a lovely day everyone! xxxxx

The winters family is seriously hurting right now, i liked last year when they introduced leslie and her bro tylers family, the michaelsons!
I used to love neil but lately he s been trying too hard! his whole forcing leslie to marry him and then jumping on hilary who s half his age and who was stalikng his family is off.
Devon is whack for creeping on his dads woman, especially since his adopted dad neil pretty much took him out of the gutter!
Lily is hopelessly entitled and spoiled , shes much intresting now that she s catfighting with hilary!
I want to see more of the Michaelsons interact with the winters! show a conflicted Leslie who s a spitfire Attorney and what made her marry the doctor so fast instead of Neil and her bro Tyler who is cocky and damn hot! Tyler and Lily said they would remain friends. Have Lily turn to tyler when she finds out once again canes been hiding something from her so important, like hilary and devons affair!!

I am grateful to Shemar that he led the charge into JFP’s office. I have no doubt that the return would have been about Hilary just as they made Katherine’s memorial all about Hilary. TPTB are pathetic and need to be fired. Start with Angelica McDaniel on down. End with a clean sweep of the writer’s room.

Shemar spoke a mouthful re the writing. Surprised Leona, I mean Jill, went for it.

So good to see the temporary return of Malcolm…I wish he’d stay and Neil would leave , taking Hillucifer with him….however, I get to see SM on CRIMINAL MINDS, so I’m happy with that.
I must say that I am so ecstatic seeing Meredith Baxter. I love her…and, she looks beautiful…fantastic, actually. …hope she’s a permanent fixture in Genoa City.
