LONG TIME GONE; where are all my Y & the Restless story haters????
Mar 29 2008, 5:17 PM EDT
I don't get on the internet very much anymore, but I just had to write in today...................WHAT THE #$LL IS GOIN ON WITH THESE STORY LINES?!!! I know some of us wrote to the CBS people about how dispoointed we where, but I guess the person was right when they asked if they even pay attention to them! It looks like GLORIA, KEVIN, MICHAEL & LAUREN are going to get away with things ONCE AGAIN!, its just SOOOOOO unbelieveable to me that I "LIKED" this soap opera for so long & now I CAN'T STAND IT! I HATE the fact that CANE?!!, is now a EXECUTIVE?? at Jabot??, I mean come on + the story line with him & Lily its just sickening! This ADAM creature is better in the show than THE BALDWINS cause VICTORIA doesn't let him get away with things, she tells him off! I was hoping that some of the OLD LOYAL FANS would boycott Y & R for just a week or so like we talked about before(if you have cable & can't do without, watch it on the weekend of the Soap Opera Channel) I'm just SICK & TIRED OF THE BALDWIN STORY LINE & NOW LAUREN GETTING HURT!! & THEM HATING JACK & BLAMING HIM WHEN THEY ARE KEEPING A MURDERER OUT OF PRISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & I know some of you will say its only a Soap Opera, well yes it is, but it was a great one for sooooooooo many years that that is what brought us back year after year.....NOW I HATE IT. The only thing that is old Y & R is Victoria & JT...........WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get aggravated sometimes with the s/l's & tired of the things they let happen but over the long haul I don't think I could boycott Y&R. You might say I'm not that dissatisfied. I love all the characters even the ones I bitch about, because they all contribute to the show. U have to take the good with the bad. Since the strike is over now & we have different writers I think we will see much improvement. I think they are trying to wind up the Gloria thing although its rather funny right now & pretty far out but I think its coming to an end soon. I agree with u about Cane being an executive that isn't very realistic. Things like that sort of test my patience. But in trying times u hang on & usaualy it gets better. I really think it will given a little more time.

It's great because it's not reality it is just fun and outrageous sometimes but always exciting, Perhaps ihatey&Rtoday you should find another soap to watch if you don't like this one. No rudeness meant don't take this the wrong way or get upset cause I don't mean it that way. Most everyone on here loves Y&R so perhaps we just see something you don't. Just my opinion, just as you are allowed yours. 1 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

I can't boycott it because I feel the show is getting better...I now again can't wait till the commercials are over...BUT I WILL AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT GLORIA..I don't think she should get away with everything and just sweep it under the Y&R blankets she caused too many problems in other ppls life for her to get away looking like a saint when she adopts her child and changes her life...She is still a murder...Other than that I love the way the show is turning around!~

well. maybe you should apply to be the new y and r producer .. i get a clear picture of what your story lines would be ... jack is a rat, ten-fold on the baldwins and has PAID very LITTLE for his evil demises over the umpteen years ... i don't agree with all the story-lines; they are what they are .. try changing them .. won't happen .. keep an OPEN mind.

Hey, I hear ya! I've even gotten off my big fat bazoo and written to the producers about storylines, casting decisions and the firing of Don Diamont, to name a few of my pet peeves. In the old days, you used to get letters back, the it was you'd get form letters back, thanking you for your interest in the show. Now, you don't get a danged thing! Nada. Zip. Zilch. Bupkis. Basically, they're telling us, take it or leave it. I do know one thing, though. In numbers there is strength. I am a political animal and have worked on many campaigns over the years. I can tell you that a well organized letterwriting campaign yields results. It makes a difference. You'd be surprised. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

i guess you could always email the producers and let them know how you feel! i think you can contact them with your 'tame' views! seriously i loathe a lot of the story lines, especially the ones they make drag out .. and would love to see jack get busted .. and then u see his genuine side with noah etc .. they all over the place - i heard don diamont was fired and to a different show .. i understand they let john and marlena from DOOL due to budget cuts! you're right, take it or leave it .. the show goes on for now ...

not a bad idea .. you would need to target much more than this site though to get the numbers and/or interest .. i find most people just like to AIR their views and leave it there .. but it wouldn't hurt the producers to know how fans are rating the shows .. i'm sure they have access to that kind of info .. go to: www.youngandtherestless.com and there maybe something there where you can say your bit ..

Y&R better start hiring writers or they are going to go the way of Guiding Light. I stopped watching GL years ago when they killed off Maureen. Maybe they should start listening to that canary in the mine! Do you find this valuable? |

I, too, stopped watching GL then, isn't that weird? I just never thought they'd get rid of an interesting character and a very good actress in one fell swoop! 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

LOL!"I do understand, I've felt that way on and off for several years. I however see hope for the show, it was number one for years and has that ability again. I'm bored and tired of certain s/l's more so in the last year than I had ever been before, I am a die hard and refuse to give up right now. I'd have to much spare time to scrub the house and I just can't have that. LOL Do you find this valuable? |
