Bring back Adam Newman.

I’m not feeling it if it turns out Jack is not an Abbott. Maybe Eric Forrester is his father.

I have to say Days is on fire and i feel Ron Calivati is the force that has made the other shows stand up and compete! That said, Young and Restless was brilliant this week. Whether people are not on board with the actions of JT the scenes between him and Amelia Heinle were amazing T he week was one minute a gasp than breathe in than a gasp Peter Bergman Marla Adams Eileen Davidson brilliant!!! Nick and Sharon finally!!!!!!1 All around major points !

just watched there return today in canada,,,wont give anything away,,but pure brilliance how they connected to a now character that shares a lot of hystory with the whole brooks family,,o,k a lil hint mommie dearest,,,
just fabulous seeing janice lynde and jamie lyn bauer on screen again,,
its funny but so many writers over the years have tried there best to create new characters for genoa city and only a few have been a hit,,,
mal young wake up dont make this just an anniversary visit ,make it a permanent stay and bring back some nostalgia and hystory to this show,,,ive never understood writers not getting it,,no one loves more then to sit with friends and reminice about the good ole days,,its no different in genoa city,,,it doesnt take a genious writers so next time you are trying to think up a new character for the show just look into the rich hystories of the past,,,dont tell us old characters have know place in the present stories,,,this lil come back just proved that wrong..

I gotta mansion;
For the 1st time– Y&R has more action and intruge than GH .,

GH was once the king of adventure, action, hard drama and intruge now it is Dull, Stale, BLAH, and that is sad, a shame 🙁 GH has lost itself ..

WTG! Y&R– Mal is bringing it home!

Su i think Shelly Altman would be a great co head writer for YR. Altman is one of the best in biz

The rest of this week’s shows had better be good. I was underwhelmed by Monday’s show. I had high expectations and needless to say, was let down big time.

Jill being Catherine’s daughter bombed so badly, they had to make her Lorren’s sister… Can’t keep track of who is Christian’s father, or was it Summer’s father? Or who is Lilly’s father… and now they are going to make Jack and Victor brothers… bad move, serves no purpose. The writers bombs with this one too.

Who is Jack Abbott? IF he’s not John’s biological son, I’d go for Neil Fenmore! Wouldn’t that be a great twist. Hate the idea of changing history, though.

I’m LOATHING the notion that Jack may not be John’s son. If the plot plays out in that direction, I think it was a TERRIBLE idea.

A decade ago, the writers RUINED Jill when they tinkered with her lineage: First, writing her as Kay’s daughter and then revisiting the sad tale to make her Lauren’s sister. It made absolutely no sense. Based on their interactions for over 20 years, there was no way that anyone would believe that Liz Foster was not Jill’s mother. They further insulted us with the idea that Jill was the daughter of Neil Fenmore (who was about the SAME AGE as Jill when he was on the show!!). Poor Jill and Kay never recovered from that disaster.

You would think that Mal Young would have learned something from that: Leave the established history of the characters alone!!!! What exactly will the writers do with Jack if he is not John’s son? For the (nearly) 40 decades the character has been on the show, he has always been defined by his family —- his love for his father. Jack’s lineage IS the character. An Abbott-less Jack would just like Jill has been for the past decade — A character wounded by ill-advised plots who becomes a far less interesting character to watch.

Personally, if I was going to “re-write” history and a character’s lineage, I would hit up Nikki. She must have barely known her mother and her father tried to sleep with her. I’ve always thought that it would be very believable that Nikki was the child Kay gave up for adoption —- They both were blonde and addiction issues. They also got along very well. (I even remember several times where Kay remarked to someone that “Nikki was like a daughter to her.” — which could effectively be used in flashbacks). Sister Casey could reveal to Nikki that she was adopted, explaining that this may be why daddy Nick Reid tried to sleep with Nikki but never with Casey as Nikki wasn’t his child. This would be a way to “revive” the importance of Kay to the show, cause major conflict between Nikki and Jill, and financially would put Nikki on par with Victor — causing problems between them as Nikki would not be dependent on him for $$$.

I’ve had a LOT of issues with writing on Y&R for the past decade. Frankly, the quality of a LOT of it has been unacceptable. However, I’ve watched the show since the first day and have been reluctant to abandon it. That being said, if the writers actually follow through with this “Jack isn’t John’s son” business, I’m seriously thinking about ditching the show. I suffered through this treatment for Jill; I’m not foolish enough to watch it happen with Jack.
