Leafpeeper, do you remember that Phyllis had a friend a the lab?? Could it be that Nick was upset that the paternity came back as HIS is the reason he had to go away for a while to think it over? Maybe it was Phyllis that HAD the test results fixed the way SHE wanted!!!Think about it!! These writers are not really that clever to have THAT much IMAGINATION though!!!!HA!HA! I, too, would like the Adam (evilness) get what is coming to him!!! IT IS TIME!!!! Thanks for all the comments!! I DO enjoy reading all of them!!!I DO so hope that the writers see the light & let this baby switching crazy story line DONE!!! NOOOOOOW!!!!! It is sooooooo old!!! I know that this IS JUST a soap, but it has been MY entertainment since it came on the air ways!!!! Get it back to SOME KIND of REALIZATION!!! PLEEEEEEAAAASSSEEE!!!!! Are any of you writers connected to the REAL world????

I agree with almost everyone that there is a problem with the writers of Y&R. I am slowly switching over to AMC during most of Y&R. Putting Adam and Sharon together was the most non believable matchup ever.

Isn't it funny how the writers have ignored the evil doings of Phyllis over the years. Will she ever pay for her early deeds against Christine and Paul? Does anyone wonder whether Nick lied about the paternity of Summer after he got the test results and Jack was told not to bother to take a paternity test? Seems like the writers can change the storylines whenever they want.

I agree with the posts. Adam is going to get away with everything for the next two or three years. I used to watch the show while eating dinner. Now it makes me sick!! Adam will never be caught.

My husband & I went on vacation for Thanksgiving & just got back this week! You would think that the writers would TRY to listen to the fans, but NOT SO!! I have stopped watching the show, but keep up with what is going on by the comments! I can NOT believe that they ACTUALLY had that SLIMSBALL & Sharon in bed!!!!! Oh, well!!! I do not even want to HEAR about this stupid show any more!! When will the writers think about their fans??! It looks like NEVER!! Y&R is going to be a HAS BEEN show!!! If the producers do not face up & get NEW writers!! Liike Sandra023116 said, ALL of the VIEWERS are exiting!! GOOD-BYE

I have been watching Y&R since the beginning and enjoyed Victor's role as a strong man in his part. I always believed that he is that kind of man in real life. So rarely found in the men of the 20's, 30, and 40's of today's talent. He is a true gentle but firm and confident man. I agree with almost all the comments that the writers could eliminate some actors that just can't cut it and who bore us. The show needs to honor Eric's contract, and keep him. Writer: listen to the fans of Y&R. Stop writing stupid stuff as we are not that stupid and can handle a little more challenging stories...We are just a few but many feel the same...Walke up.

I SURE DO AGREE WITH SANDRA023116
I AM TOTALY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SHARON AND ADAM THING!! YUCK ON THE WHOLE STORY LINE PEROID! THE STORY LINE ON DECON, RYDER, AND I THINK THAT IS RYDERS SISTER THAT WORK FOR lOREN!! THE WHOLE STORY LINE NEEDS TO END! I WOULD HOPE NICK WOULD SMARTEN UP TOO............... GO BACK TO YOUR FIRST LOVE!!! I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT I BE TYPING FORGEVER!!! WILL THIS SHOW GO DOWN THE DRAIN TOO?? LIKE GUIDING LIGHT AND NOW AS THE WORLD TURNS????? I AM TRULY BEGINING TO BELIEVE IT IS! I GUESS WE BETTER FACE THE FAITE OF OUR SOAP!!! THAT IS A WRAP FOR NOW..... GOOD BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's quite evident the "writers" do not appreciate the viewers comments OR they know the inevitable - Y&R is probably also on the "chopping block" - especially with their stupid story lines. They are on the coat tails of as the world turns ! my friend said the end of yesterday's show, finally put the nail in the coffin - two words - slimeball and Sharon !! Y&R is receiving the award of the most "viewers" exiting ! GOOD-BYE
