The actor, and I use the term loosely, who portrays Adam is worse than the actor who portrays Ridge on the B&B (Bold & Beautiful), and I didn't think that was even possible! The storylines have become a joke! Come on now, Adam takes Sharon's baby?! Ashley doesn't realize she didn't have a baby?! Just how crazy and/or stupid do these characters have to be?!? Or how stupid do you think the viewers are!?!?! How long are the producer's going to let this crap go on?! Enough already! I have been watching Y&R since the old days, and I mean OLD days. When Philip Chancelor and Kay were still married, before she drove them off the cliff! When Snapper, Leslie and the sister who played the piano where on the show. When Nikki was a stripper @ the Bayou where her and ole Vic first met. That has been years ago! This is the worst Y&R has ever been. If the producers aren't careful, Y&R will join Guiding Light, and we all know what happened to that show!
WE NEED EB to stay on the show please as for Adam he sucks Writers please you have to do sumthing about that devil he is worser than VICTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THINK Y&R CAN MAKE IT WITHOUT VICTOR BUT IT WILL BE HARD. I AM NOT SURE YOU COULD REPLACE HIM SUCCESSFULLY THOUGH IF THEY TRIED THAT, PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE SHARON BACK HER BABY SOON CAN'T THE WRITERS COME UP WITH A BETTER STORYLINE THEN THIS AFTER ALL IT HAS BEEN ON QUITE A FEW SOAPS AND IT IS GETTING TIRING AND BORING, STOP IT PLEASE, NO MOTHER SHOULD BE WITHOUT HER BABY, NOT EVEN IN THE SOAPS!!!COME WRITERS COME UP WITH SOMETHING ORIGINAL PLEASE. I LIKE ASHLEY BETTER NOW AND I KNOW SHJE WILL BE HEART BROKEN WHEM SHE REALIZES WHAT HAS HAPPENED BUT SHE WILL PULL THROUGH SHE HAS HER FAMILY TO HELP. IT IS TIME ADAM CONFESSES OR GETS CAUGHT, I DON'T LIKE VICTORIA VERY MUCH AND I HATE TO SEE JT LEAVE HER AND I HOPE HE DOES NOT LEAVE THE SHOW BUT HE IS A GOOD ACTOR AND I WISH HIM WELL....
Why did you write Colleen out of the show? Why not Ashley, Gloria, Jeff, Decon or Ryder? That way you would have a great amount to offer the character Victor(Eric Braeden)!! If he leaves, so will the show!! It will be the next one leaving the air!! If you (producers & writers) do not start listening to your great fans, that is EXACTLY what will happen!! Let him stay & get him & Nikki get back together as well as giving Sharon & Nick back their baby & them together! Let Phyllis & Jack get together with THEIR daughter! Get this show back to a LITTLE bit of realism before you go down!!! Or is it you people think you know more than the fans how they feel? I WILL be one of the fans that will miss the show, but I'm sure that I can find other interest! I used to watch all of the shows on CBS, but I had stopped all the others, but I had ALWAYS loved all the characters on this one! I suppose I won't be watching ANY soaps any more!! I so hope you listen to your fans once in your lives & are not so full of yourselves with this!! Get Nina & Paul together! He needs someone!!
I AGREE WITH MOST OF THE COMMENTS .. THIS SHOW IS SIMPLY STUPID NOW AND I AM NOT GOING TO WATCH ANYMORE.
Please, please, please get Y&R back on track. These writers insult our intelligence and try our patience. The storylines are horrible and not even remotely believable. If Eric Braeden leaves we may as well kiss this show goodbye. Give Sharon her baby and let Ashley adjust to trying to be sane. Ashley could leave the show,(along with a few others), and never be missed. I really hate the way Sharon is being treated and the absurd way the whole psychiatric facility delivery was set up. I have been an avid Y&R fan for many years, but am just about ready to say goodbye. Please fix this show!
I agree. I do not enjoy watching anymore....I think Adam will cave and tell himself...
