Well I doubt the Hilary/Devon/Neil story had anything to do with these numbers, I have to flip the station whenever they are on because this story is getting as long and senseless and boring as the music box story Jill and Colin endured.

But I did enjoy the Victor Adam story — not sure about the Sharon story, this is her third baby kidnapping story– when Adam stole her baby, when someone stole Mariah from her so she didn’t know Cassie had a twin, and now someone is giving her a stolen baby. But if this gets her back into Adam’s orbit if Christian is his child then all for it.

Hmmm although I watch B&B, I’m not bothered if I miss it. I’m actually surprised there is an increase in viewers. At best, since the Myron/Maya reveal, this show has been ok. I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out what would cause the increase. The excitement of Y&R resulting in another 1st place position is no surprise. This week is a titch slow but of the remaining daytimers it is by far the most enjoyable. NBC and ABC are drowning in boredom. DOOL has seen a rise only because of Bo and Patch but at the same time are killing off good characters, Bo to be next. GH well it’s an hour killed while I wait for Y&R

I have been Y&R’s cheerleader for the last couple of years, so please know my criticism is well deserved. Frankly, despite the great acting, Y&R has been a mess–the stories are badly paced, disjointed plot driven and nonsensical. So much to say with so little time.
However, for example, how on earth is Victor able to blackmail Adam with his idea that Christian is his son? As Adam asserted, both Chelsea and Nick already know that Adam slept with Sage and could possibly have been the father. How would this news shake the very foundation of Adam and Chelsea’s relationship? Adam already fessed up. Also, this whole mess with Ian Ward is driving me insane (and we all know that is a short drive for me).
Because those idiots were not able to find the remains of Ian in the rubble of the Newman Towers this means that Adam was lying about seeing Ian dressed as Satan lording over the fire and the ruins of his big plan? Um, Paul, Jack and Phyllis told you that Patty was pinned under a soda machine with flames engulfing her when they left her, and yet, her remains were not found either. I keep waiting for SOMEONE to point that out but not one ever does. Paul is just coming off as an idiot lately and his wife is the official crypt keeper.
Who would have thought Little Miss Cricket, former perky and prim teen model for Jabot, would become Little Miss Crypt Keeper?
Man, she is a drag and I will be happy to never lie eyes on her again–that joyless f–!
Meanwhile, I hate this baby storyline with a passion put to use. Please end it soon. Sharon Case deserves so much better than the crap they keep throwing at her. And yet, she keeps rising to the occasion.
I am now going to say something positive–I now like Sage. Kelly Sullivan has proven herself once again and has fleshed out this character in such a way as to make her both complex and yet, sympathetic.
She is an amazing actress. Moreover, I like her paired up with Adam more than I like her with Nick or Adam with Chelsea.
Okay, there is my feedback for what it is worth

Congrats to CP and JFP. While they’re version of Y&R has its share of detractors, the ratings tell something completely different. As for me, I’ll always prefer the Bill Bell storytelling but at least the current regime keeps me watching with their hit and miss stories.

It has been good lately. For me, that is due to Adam. I hope Victor will not let Adam rot in jail. The viewers certainly need him out of jail.

Someone needs to reel Dylan in though. I was glad Paul finally told him he’s not a cop, but he still asked him for advice on the case. Dylan should get PI license. I guess Esther is running the coffee shop in between visiting Chloe at the nuthouse.

Not a surprise. This is the best soap of all and it just keeps getting better. I wouldn’t want to be M.C.E.(Chelsea or J.H Adam Newman) the pressure these two are under would be horrible. They are the show and as far as I’m concerned they are the reason the ratings are as high as they are.

The Newman Towers fire, Adam and Chelsie, Sharon’s drugging by her doctor is what kept me interested. I FF through the rest.
On B&B, my FF turns a 30 minute snooze fest into 5-8 minute show. The only lights in that tunnel are Steffy and Liam, and Bill and Katie. Caroline and faux Ridge make me cringe – she looks like his daughter and he needs a makeover. Please let the baby be Thomas’.

That rating is nothing to be happy about it was during the fire disaster at NE, and was a waste of time. All we got after that week was over was more of the same story lines with Adam still under a dark cloud, Sharon still being victimized, Sage being propped up by Nick which is sicken, Victor wins, Paul being clueless chief of police, Dylan in every story lines, Sage again on every day while Sharon on once a week if we are lucky to see her. Nobody died in that fired it was all a lie to get people to watch YR. Guess JFP and CP made an idiot out of all of us. Next time they have a disaster or used PR tricks to get us to watch yet another stupid story line, most of us the long time audiences will not fall for their tricks. They do it because they know they write crappy for YR and only supporting their friends like Steve Burton as Dylan, Kelly Sullivan as Sage and Hunter King as Summer. Till the CBS executives wise up and fire Jill and Chuck YR will soon see a fall in rating and when fans and critics finally make more noises they’re fed up with Sharon being victimized and used to prop up characters like Sage and Dylan. They can start by making Sage the hit and run driver and get rid of her and Jill and Chuck. Bring back Josh Griffith as the head writer and executive producer. The reason why he did that awful paternity story line where Sharon got blamed for the switch was because of Jill. Soon as Josh was fired Jill brought in her right hand Chuck knowing he would ruined any characters so she can prop up her friends. They think they’re smart but audiences like me got their number. Will not watch YR any more till they’re gone.
