I had already bailed on the show with Jack and I have read comments that it has turned into the Abigail show but a neighbor of my mom's who's daughter worked in fashion is soCal 20 years ago told us how difficult Lori was and I chose to ignore it as I remember her as a teen on "Edge of Night" with Preacher and so I just figured it was a personality conflict ---I loved "Garage Sale Mysteries" and am sorry about this whole mess but still---UGH---can't imagine the show now without her and they already lost Jack---only redeeming characters being Lee and Rosemary but I am already not watching---what a mess---LOL on the Candace Cameron Bure remarks

17 minutes into the podcast on Hallmark and I am not impressed with the excuses and the justifications---I miss a lot because my computer keeps freezing but really it sounds like "this is how we are going to explain" I have been here before with other shows-----I am not too interested without the mountie--Elizabeth facing life on her own with her pals just not anything I care much about---pretty sure I am out and I have not watched the last several episodes anyway---also a little too much forced laughter and apologizing

His grandfather in Australia died---there is a link floating around to his appearance on the Hallmark talk show "Home and Family" where he talks about that and finding out when they were about to film the wedding scenes and some condolences posted on his Facebook page. I don't know what that all means for the show.

I have not posted in a really long time so I don't expect anyone to remember that I posted about my mom's dementia and how much I did not want to watch this storyline other than loving Marla Adams from way back-----my mom was the Y& R fan but I am still watching off and on and did watch it back in the day ---she passed in November, she was 90 ---- and I miss her every day but somehow Y& R keeps on and I watch because it does not require very many brain cells---I have hated Cane with the fire of a 1000 suns since day one and that has not gone away and Lily was always a sap even when she was a teen---no interest in JT notBilly or assorted other idiots---have not seen any shows this week but I have OnDemand---it is sounding like I should spend the weekend watching Food Network instead of this dreck----WTH?

He beats hellout of Cane but then I hated Cane since day one so I am not objective---lol--Lilli is not great either but still away from Cane the whiner and the idiot i s always a plan unless you are 12

yeah bannana I think you are right for sure and while I have never had Nick love still that sucks kinda-sorta even though back in the day I thought Nick was an ass at the time---still Adam is long gone and so is icky Dylan so who cares beside Grampire---and Faith? love the actress hate the nasty little girl but how could she be any different thanks to Victurd and Nick using her against Sharon---

So UGH to everything I have read and I am pretty much the only person I know still sorta watching (kinda liking Chesapeake Bay or whatever it is on Hallmark--don't judge--lol) anyway my 90 yr old mom no longer cares and I mostly watch On Demand on the weekends but my best friend/college roommate/soap fan quit awhile ago along with her husband who refused to get sucked back in---so I keep trying but things are boring and are so obvious (looking at you Hilary) and no lesbian story or a dementia/alzheimer story will interest me---dementia is my real life and I want an escape---I still tune in when I can because it does not take much brain power and I am exhausted most of the time---hate hate the direction the show seems to be going in ---so LAME---and as a lifelong soap watcher---Edge of Night, Another World, Somerset, Ryans Hope etc I hate that this is what I am left with---boo hoo

Yah well I have hated Cane for years and years-----but then I also hate Jason Thompson as Billy---if it was any other actor I would not care as much but still at the end of the day my Cane hate trumps it----and if it means Lily might end up with Jordan ( is that his name--I am a little out of it) then OK---I like the tween kids especially Maddie and Cane has been a burr in my side like forever so no sympathy there----yes Cane is a pasty faced ass who should have been gone along time ago except for the 12 yr olds (but then I never loved Lily except when she was the other actress but still) I am hopeful that this will be a new beginning (without cane) but not counting on it---

I have always been a fan of Marla Adams back in the day when I was in high school and she was one of the best on several soaps---she is old school and knows how to do it--I also hope that she is not wasted on some sort of dementia storyline as I am a caregiver of a 90 year old parent and dealing with that in real life and am looking for a little escape (reason I am here so seldom these days) I mostly watch Y& R on Demand because I can be interrupted 4 times in 4 minutes and it is that or cable news and after awhile my eyes cross at that---used to watch "Bull"and loved "This is Us" but if it can't be interrupted I can't follow it---sometimes I watch all 5 episodes of Y&R on the weekend and it is not lost on me that the ONLY reason I ever went back to Y& R after several years was because my mom and I could watch together but now she doesn't care much---but every once in awhile there is a little spark and she remembers so I will take it---sorry to be a downer--this was meant to be Marla love---as for Mariah and Tessa---I look for what some of you see but it seems so erratic I just don't know

Back in the day I loved Marla Adams--not so much on Y& R where she was not a major character but I think she was Belle on Another World or Secret Strorm or some CBS show? her husband ran for the senate? ---gee I feel old---

aarrgghh--I watched gina tognoini for years on 2 other shows and then she came here and her brains all leaked out---WTH---do not like Jason dipshit either and I do remember when he showed up on GH to much fanfare but now??? the nostrils and the horrid acting in a part he was horribly miscast????? I admit I am at least a week behind because why should I care? but I seriously doubt things have improved and damn---this is the only show I have left after a lifetime of ATWTs, Edge of Night etc etc---now I have these dregs of humanity??? sniff----think I am left with culinary mysteries or something---UGH UGH UGH

OH yeah---one of the worst days ever and now another pre-emption---perfect.

So sorry to read this about MEK---he is a class act and too good for the show in it's current state and mom and I were only loving him---liked the vibe between him and Ashley but I guess that was never meant to be----UGH--we are still stuck with Cane who we have hated forever and stoopid Devon and Puka and Grampire--why again to we even care??? HATE Billy (JT) as much as I ever hated Sonny on GH---a show I quit years ago---not sure why we are here at all---happy to get rid of Sage but it is not enough----

Thank you so much for the Mamacap--I so despair when the fruitcap can't happen---when the actual show is on I am doing stuff--usually in the kitchen and cannot always hear or see so any Canadian cap is a huge help to me and I know how hard it is to do--- I am not sure at this point if I can hate Undertaker Billy more but I do---also Phyllis is working on my last nerve--she will never be as hateful as the Stafford Phyl but she can come pretty damn close which is all the time lately---at least it is character hate and not windmill acting choice hate---I guess-- I still loathe Victor as usual and Hilary is pretty much on that list---some days I don't like anyone but Mariah and Kevin---sigh---oh and Dr MEK but that is a longtime Tad love that I doubt this show can ruin and I hope they do not try.

OH so fine Undertaker Billy and stoopid Jill---that makes it all OK? NOT---stay in the family of idots and slimeballs---YAY ^^^^^^^^^clarifying to say that I was not calling the family we know idiots etc just this current crop of characters that are so out of character they may as well fall off a cliff---feeling more than a little cranky about the show these days and not very tolerant

UGH---I am so not okay with Undertaker Billy moving into the Chancellor gunmetal gray mansion---not a regular watcher on GH when he was Patrick Drake but he is all wrong here---and being forced on us is worse---thank you to whoever posted the old youtube clips of Billy Miller and Victoria at the airport Irish bar---good times we may never see again--no one on the canvas now can exude any of that charm---sigh---and yuck to the latest version of Cane ( who may possibly be the worst character I have seen in over 30 years of soap watching) and Silly Lily--but at least there is Dr -MEK from the old days and he is still 88 yr old mom's boyfriend which is pretty much the only reason she is still watching------what is wrong with Prattfall and Jill Ferret that they cannot see what they have and the awful---Dullard et al---oh never mind--we know why---

These people all suck---cannot believe this but yes I can---I have been watching soaps my whole life since like 1960 or so and while many of the best are gone and I am only here for Y&R after an effort for B&B due to my Thorsten Kaye love---the show was so bad that I am back here but that does not excuse Grampire or Paul and Dudley AS THE POLICE FORCE AND YEAH ALL THE REST-----I keep watching but only because the best is gone---sigh----but on the only positive note I am loving MEK and his hair (which is kinda like mine since I decided to be grey/white) so I am not giving up yet---MEK is a great actor and I have always loved him so there is that-----

I remember when JT first showed up on GH--I was still sort of watching and I liked him but then over the years his storyline with robin dragged him down and he got boring and I quit watching a long time ago---I was pleasantly surprised since I am one of those who thinks Billy will always be Billy Miller....but I liked what I saw---he has a spark back that I have not seen in a lot of years---so OK for now.

Hey--I miss you guys although I see some of you in other forums----I quit this show overnight in spite of my Thorsten love --it was too awful with the creeper and all and now I hear Ivy is ruined too---not sorry I missed that--so sad that this show is even worse than Y&R---is that even possible? But still I miss you a lot so I just came by to say Happy Holidays and to hope for better in the future? maybe?

Again I just have to say that there are really some good characters and actors and great sets and all the rest so why can't this show shine? Especially when the competition is what it is? I do not understand---the bar is not that high and they KNOW how to be better---sigh.

UGH--i am getting so maybe it would be better if I did not come here to see what awful thing happened now with Raya or anyone else---I really like some of these characters (not Raya or thomas or maybe even Bill) but still I hate how awful it all is---makes me sad---even though my B&B viewing has been sporadic over maybe 20 years I cannot ever remember it being as icky (yeah I know Taylor etc) as it is now with Raya and Thomas the slitherin---so sad when there are so few shows to choose from and this one chooses to be whatever the ick it is now-----USE Rena Sofer and some of the real talent you have and not the dweebs--how hard can that be?

UGH---I have been asked by others "have you quit that show" and I say YES---until I see something that is not about Raya the selfish or Nicole the stupid or the waffle or Ivy and Wyatt or really everything ---I guess I am done---so sad because there is some potential here but not now--- ***I want to watch this show---I like the actors, I like the sets but I just turn into a rage monkey and someone I don't like much when I see some of these storylines---sigh---so for now I will just keep reading here.

I saw Thomas leering at Ivy on a commercial and was repulsed---just a commercial and I wanted to throw something---I forgot to say in my previous rant that I do love the Avant parents especially Julius---too bad they are stuck in Maya's circle of selfish hell.

UGH---have not been watching and Thomas is a big part of that---I am a TK fan from ABC but when I didn't much care for him on Port Charles I let that one go---of course in those days there were lots of alternate choices---when he was Patrick on OLTL I lurved him (English lit major--lol) and when he was Zack I was OK but I never was all that with him and Kendall but I knew he liked that pairing and they were friends in real life so OK---now??? I would have never seen him as Rigid as I loathed Ronnn Moss but still he can do it---even if he is a fish out of water--- but Thomas is an ass (much like Devon aka Elmer Fudd on Y&R) and now I see Caroline as a wimpy sniffer and I just quit the whole thing---still like Ivy but it is not enough and I will not even start on the awful Avant family---

OK--fine I loathe Thomas and his stoopid hair and as time goes on I pretty much hate Caroline too---aaarrrggghhh- I will always be in TKs corner from other shows but that is not even the issue---I will continue to HATE Thomas with the fire of a 1000 suns and that does not actually touch TK or Caroline---it is all about him as an ICK---and the longer Caroline sniffles in his direction the more I will hate her---my love is all about TK---these low volts do not matter---ugh and I hate to say so but Thomas sucks A LOT
