So, excited to hear Y&R is back beginning next week? What storyline are you most looking forward to seeing play out? Comment below.
I likely will get blasted for this but………………
I’ve really enjoyed watching the old episodes this summer. For the past decade, the show has been so bad that it has felt like a chore to stick with it and I’ve wondered exactly why I continued to watch it. Viewing the old episodes reminded me why I had such loyalty to it. Most of the old episodes we’ve seen were very well written — with interesting plots, good timing, and many characters with clearly defined personalities. IMO, a LOT of those traits have been lacking for the past decade. I kinda hate to see the old episodes go off the air.
It is rare that the writers and producers get a lengthy break from the fast pace of putting together the episodes. I really hope that, during the months the production has been stalled, that they have given serious thought about ways to improve things. There is no reason that things shouldn’t quickly improve.
The show was so dull before the break that the ONLY plot I even remotely remember is that Sharon has cancer! The rest: I don’t recall and don’t care to be reminded. They really could have just jumped the plots ahead 3 months with a some explanatory recap dialogue between the characters and ditched wasn’t working previously. I guess we’ll see….
Not from me you won’t. I totally agree Barbara. Y&R from yore had better writing, better direction. better pacing,more humor and fabulous background music. Even the camera work was better. I loved how they would film scenes from a gym locker–quite innovative.
