I am actually ok with Gloria. So far 😁. What annoys me the most under SS is Nick. I just can't with his "troubles" anymore. The guy is rich and nannies or housekeepers shouldn't be the main problem for him. It's not believable. And there's too much of him onscreen. Another problem for me is Villy. Victoria and Billy's "competition" is stupid. Victoria is forty something, why do they write her as if she were 14? Now she'll find out about porn and will blow it out of proportions too. I am dreading those scenes. Nothing very bad has happened yet. A forty year old woman should be able to understand that.
I think I don't mind other stories. But there's one more thing that bothers me. I like business stories in general but I think to use GT and ED twice a week and solely for these stories is a waste of two very strong actresses. From acting perspective the scenes aren't challenging.
While there isn't much that I don't like, there isn't much I like or things I am emotionally invested in either. The Dylan situation is a high stakes one but it is so predictable. It will end with Paul and Sharon feeling guilty for whatever happens to him. I'd like for them to use interpersonal drama/conflict more. We probably have Lauren/Gloria drama coming (which I can't say I'm invested in). But it's not enough.
Lauren/Gloria will only be dramatic if Lauren does indeed lose Fenmore's to Jack. I'm kinda on the fence about it be cuz I dont want Jack/Gloria to win but that is the only way the story will generate any high stakes drama. I kind of wish they had romance (a couple on opposite sides) or some other personal stuff involved in those business stories. I can't invest much if it's just a corporate drama. How many times did they all "loose" their companies - they always get them back, no one has ever experienced what it really means to go bankrupt. It's like after they loose one they have 3 more companies left :D .

I want Jack to lose Jabot for being a dick to Lauren. I wouldn't mind for Jackill (Jack/Jill) to happen and Jack to loose Jabot to Jill.
On a side note, I'd give a lot to see Jackill and Philly (as couples) in the same room :blulaugh: .

Well for one I don't think he was a major character like Jack Abbott. Bill Bell was also an amazing writer.. something Chuck Pratt never has been and never will be. So any kind of campy stories that Bill Bell wrote was always done well. Are you seriously saying that Pratt had long scenes with good dialogue? I mean I guess you're entitled to your opinion but I strongly disagree on that. I remember times when certain things seem to always happen off screen and we were supposed to just accept that it happened. A lot of shit was skipped over for the sake of the plot. It was ridiculous. He was an atrocious writer! Hopefully he doesn't come anywhere near a soap opera again.
Yes, I think some of the scenes/dialogues were long and well-written under Pratt too. And you don't have to particularly credit Pratt for that :) . Headwriters don't write dialogue, they mostly work with breakdown writers on breakdowns. I imagine they check the scripts but that's it. I'm not sure if it's still the case but Y&R also has an "in-house historian" (senior script and story coordinator Elizabeth Hamrick LeBrun), so they have qualified personell who knows the history to help their writing team with it. I don't exactly disagree because I am not sure what this is about but what do you mean when you say "I remember times when certain things seem to always happen off screen and we were supposed to just accept that it happened. A lot of shit was skipped over for the sake of the plot."
Speaking of Pratt and soap operas, I've seen a lot of Y&R fans on message boards, comment sections and Twitter complaining about Pratt and his writing, but from a more objective perspective (ratings) he didn't do anything bad to this show (maybe his writing hurt the other shows he was writing for but not Y&R). When we compare Y&R' ratings for the last 6 years - his are the best (I mean re: total viewers). They were especially high in Summer 2015 (in comparision to other years' ratings in Summer). We can like or dislike his plots but the general audience tuned it to watch his stuff: Posted ImageI'm not saying his writing is perfect and that I'm a die-hard fan of his but the situation is not black or white to me. All headwriters have their strengths and weaknesses. That's the reality. Summer 2015....yes that was Chadam reveal :wub: :popcorn:

All headwriters have their strengths and weaknesses. That's the reality. That is a total year data plot. His losses were tremendously great and he failed the most in the most-key category which is the 18-49 demo. His overall gains were less than everyone else. 2016 is below the 5.5 million point. He was not even head writer until 2015 which does notPROVE that the ratings were better under Pratt. When you combine his 2015-2016 numbers statistically, his average is the same type of low as everyone else. Even with the poor ratings in 2014, they still outperformed Pratt's numbers in 2015.
Here is more succinct actual data that shows the extent of the damage:

I just updated the post above with the actual numbers week by week with demos.. CP's overall numbers were down compared to the 2014-2015 season.

Every year (in the last 6 years) W18-49 demo averages are down from the previous (with the exception of 2015). Other soaps have the same problems.
Do you think the new regime will have gains in W18-49?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep "I remember times when certain things seem to always happen off screen and we were supposed to just accept that it happened. A lot of shit was skipped over for the sake of the plot."
Speaking of Pratt and soap operas, I've seen a lot of Y&R fans on message boards, comment sections and Twitter complaining about Pratt and his writing, but from a more objective perspective (ratings) he didn't do anything bad to this show (maybe his writing hurt the other shows he was writing for but not Y&R). When we compare Y&R' ratings for the last 6 years - his are the best (I mean re: total viewers). They were especially high in Summer 2015 (in comparision to other years' ratings in Summer). We can like or dislike his plots but the general audience tuned it to watch his stuff: Posted Imagenot
I was talking about total viewers. Every year (in the last 6 years) W18-49 demo averages are down from the previous (with the exception of 2015). Other soaps have the same problems. Do you think the new regime will have gains in W18-49?
Last statement; the total views were less than the prior season as well.
Yeah, season 2014/2015 was their best (from the last 5 seasons). 2015 calendar year's weekly total viewers average is the highest in 6 years. :shrug:
What is pretty clear from the graph is that MAB almost ran the show into the ground in 2012 lol. They got one week under 4 Million before she was ousted.

So Y&R has gained nearly 2 million viewers back since MAB? Wow that's pretty extraordinary

I liked the ending today - the juxtaposition Sharon and Dylan/Alex. It had a vibe of sadness.

Sharon has a lot of damn nerve going through paul's office looking for info to suit her own selfish purposes. I hope somehow she finds out Dylan boinked that chic and it sends her over the edge putting her on another runaway from home caper. To me, the vibe was more pathetic than sad, sharon being the pathetic one. Paul needs to install a nannycam in his office so he'll know what's going on.

She's concerned about her husband and no one will tell her anything. It makes perfect sense that she would want to find out what's going on with him.
Those scenes in Pauls office did make me laugh though. When Kevin barges in and Sharon pretends to be looking for her keys LOL

He's a cop working a case, she was told it was undercover. Left his ring and phone behind, that should have been enough to convince her that he couldn't divulge anything. But noooo, she had to know everything possible and risk it all plus his life. Now her big mouth with get him hurt or killed.

When Kevin barges in and Sharon pretends to be looking for her keys LOL I sure wish Kevin had just lied and told her Dylan is fine, so don't worry. But, nooooo, he had to be honest... and she had to play detective. :( Also, I thought her sweater was real goofy, so her actions matched that big crazy collar. :blulaugh: Poor Dylan had to boink that mean drug lady. I sure wish he was back to fixing the coffee machine, and out of harm's way. :-/
