I cannot believe they have turned her into this mess of a person doing these horrible things..they fuc&*& up her relationship with Victor which I always loved because he was like a father to her and always had her back and for them to just demolish that by having her marry him was disgusting and wrong! This would never happen on GH...CBS soaps have a tendency to be incestuous especially Bold and the Beautiful...just lacking depth and character development! they have to depend on who sleeps with who next, who gets married for the 8th time to the same person, who get divorced in 2 months....it's RIDICULOUS!!! I love GH because the relationships seem real, and the writing is so incredible, the storylines are intricate, there's depth! and CBS soaps DO NOT HAVE DEPTH, THEY SUCK! If Y&R had come on at the same time as Guiding Light, their asses would have been LONG GONE! GH managed to keep on, even though they came on at the latest time - 3:00 PM! They managed to knock out Guiding Light, All My Children, One Life to Live...I don't know what Y&R can do to get it back to what it used to be or get it to a place where the audience would want to watch AT LEAST 75% of the show...ok they brought back Tristan Rogers, but you know he will be back on GH someday, he's not Y&R! Let's be honest, Y&R sucked even with Billy Miller and Michael Muhney on so them leaving should not stop Y&R from delivering good stories; The Delia thing was another mistake; to me I loved watching when she was on - her and Faith are the cutest and most interesting on Y&R to me, now wtf does that tell you?? Y&R WAKE UP!! STOP THINKING THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE "#1" THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO WRITE GREAT STORYLINES;;YOU OWE IT TO YOUR DIE HARD FANS BECAUSE I FEEL SORRY FOR THEMSusan Sellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660879478308552089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-22130254499433733472014-02-26T23:00:28.514-05:002014-02-26T23:00:28.514-05:00you know, they always say it's the number one ...you know, they always say it's the number one soap on daytime but I don't think it's the best, not even close especially in recent years....the characters are lackluster and so are the storylines; they always have the abbotts against the newmans, CONSTANTLY! Don't viewers get bored of that??? This is why I think the reason y&r is number one is mainly because of its time slot!! of course a soap that starts at 1230 is going to have a better shot at being number one because not many will watch television after 130 or 2 when you look at the demographics: mostly women who stay at home or have kids; and that's another thing, if you have kids you're probably picking them up from school around 3 or so which is also interesting because GH has managed to stay on even thought it's time slot has always been 3 up until last couple yrs due to the cancellation of the other two ABC soaps that came on before it; THAT right there says a lot; GH is the best hands down! I forget who it was, I think Gloria Monty, she made GH what it is today, a soap with a prime time twist...GENIUS! Y&R will never be cancelled and neither will GH, but the ONLY reason Y&R will not get cancelled is because of that 12:30 time slot, it's their saving grace! Oh and Y&R is starting to take GH actors/actresses LMAO...Genie Frances, Tristan Rogers, Steve Burton and now I read that Bradford Anderson might be coming on (he played Spinelli on GH)....tsk tsk...but I don't blame Y&R GH is the SH*%! :PSusan Sellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660879478308552089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-20172327751430244802014-02-11T01:21:26.631-05:002014-02-11T01:21:26.631-05:00I started watching again when they killed Casey o...I started watching again when they killed Casey off. The publicity was so abundant that it drew me in to the show. Love Victor , Adam, and Billy. Steve Burton needs to go back to GH cos he is Jason. I loved him as Jason and it just feels like Jason moved to.Genoa city from Port Chuckles. Sick to death of Sharon's crazy behind. Miss miss miss miss Phyllis. They can't replace her cos no one can bring if like Stafford does. The Abbott children are cursed. Unless they grow up away from GC and then return as adults, they generally don't make it to adulthood. This is one of the last few soaps left on tv. I hope they get it together cos I would hate to see them disappear like so many others. I have grown up watching these shows and even though they aren't real, they are like an old friend that has always been there. U can always count on hearing that piano intro at 12:30 like clockwork.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194929699321027290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-26069574237642057092014-02-08T09:35:21.034-05:002014-02-08T09:35:21.034-05:00I used to watch way back in the beginning.

I've watch this show since the mid to late 70's, the people on this show, I feel like they are a part of me, friends or family. I'm mad at them, happy, and sad. No, I'm not an unbalanced person for feeling like this, it's just fun to watch, I get out of my own world for 1 hr and enjoy hearing their stories, good and bad, stupid or brilliant.

Please don't wait 10 years before Nick finds out about what she did. Expose her NOW! It took many years before Paul and Cricket found out Phyllis ran them down and then nothing was done.

I'm not surprised that many of the characters (with the exception of Sharon) on the least-liked list are ones that are used as props to other characters or storylines. Because there's not much character development (and many of them are not "nice" characters), they aren't well-liked. Sharon's character, on the other hand, is a mess and the writers don't seem to know what they are doing with her. I really don't know how much longer I can hang on as a viewer.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-674049831927144772013-10-28T22:56:48.975-04:002013-10-28T22:56:48.975-04:00Sorry for you loss.
