I am not sure what exactly would be of interest to you but I would strongly suggest to resume from where you left off. And as much unspoiled as possible. Even if the current characters or storylines aren't very compelling to you, the show is worth watching to see how surprising (and smart) Mal Young is wrapping up the old stories. The transition is quite unique and it's really an example of good storytelling. So if not for anything else, then it's worth watching to see what can be done with storylines written by different writers without completely destroying what was written.
I actually can't remember the time I enjoyed a soap so much, including the episodes my favorites aren't in.
Thanks. Maybe I'll watch if I can find the missing episodes.

My problem with Y&R is that here aren't many characters and couples that I love. I used to be a Nick/Sharon fan, if I heard they were going to get back together (and not just for a minute) I would want to watch. Since the recast, Phyllis is one of my favorite characters but her story with Billy is very frustrating because he's not over Victoria. I love Eileen because of Days but I find Ashley too boring. I used to like Cane and Lily but Sally has destroyed Cane. I thought the beginning of Mariah and Tessa was well done but I'm scared they aren't committed and will drop that story. I don't really care about the rest of the contract cast, I'm bummed that they got rid of Chloe, I really liked the actress.
I think if you liked SSM's show enough to watch it, you'll enjoy MY even more. He hasn't destroyed anything (so far) and improved a lot of things.
I don't have many characters or couples I love on either of the soaps I watch - right now - one couple I consider myself a fan of (Philly) and 2 couples I like (both on GH), so I definitely get what you mean. But even in this situation there are enough things to look forward to on Y&R.

Not to spoil too much, but there are some details: I am not sure if they are committed to Tessa and Mariah as a couple, but on November 2 CG/Mariah has some really awesome (coming out) scenes with SC/Sharon and CF/Tessa, really worth watching.
Re:Philly, if you watch November 3 episode you could clearly see who is Billy in love with :) .
If you like humor, there's plenty of it too. And MY's Dina definitely makes Abbotts more interesting.

I liked some aspects of Sally's writing but overall I feel like I wasted my time. But thanks for the advice! I think I'll check out what Mal is writing, I'm not sure when, maybe during the Thanksgiving week. By the way, if he's really good, I wonder why they waited so long to let him be headwriter, he was hired almost 2 years ago!

I love Y&R right now. I haven't enjoyed the show this much in years. Every eppi is a must see TV.
I gave up 3 weeks ago, what is so good about it now?
Everything! The pacing, the way the stories move! It's very surprising, fun, it also has some intense drama and depth. It feels like the show has no filler scenes anymore. Everything that happens onscreen is important and leads to something.
MY changed the direction of nearly every story but did it in a very interesting manner, all of it made sense. The show is really worth watching.
I don't feel its as good as Days. Not yet anyway. It's definitely improved in terms of not being boring every single episode and the balance is slightly improved. It still feels all over the place at times because he's still wrapping up the old stories. I will assess the show once Mal's own stories start. He's got an uphill climb. The demos are in the tank.

IMO all the three soaps I watch (Days, GH, Y&R) are doing well right now (I mean the writing). Definitely not the worst sweeps period for soaps.
I am LOVING GH right now, the most that I have in years! The pace is awesome and leaves me wanting to watch more every day.

IMO, MY's YR is much more tolerable than Sally's reign. More action.
