Cupid Stunt March 20, 2019 Share March 20, 2019 Coroner says ‘Young and Restless’ star died of heart disease LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Young and the Restless” star Kristoff St. John died of heart disease, with excessive drinking at the time of his death a contributing factor, according to a coroner’s report released Tuesday. Investigators listed “hypertrophic heart disease” as the cause of the 52-year-old’s death on Feb. 4 at his home in Los Angeles. “Hypertrophic” means the heart muscle has become abnormally thick, making blood-pumping difficult. Heavy alcohol use along with a congenital artery problem contributed to St. John’s death, the report said. 1 1 Link to comment

I hate to speak bluntly on his coroners report but he did physically and emotionally die from a broken heart. 😭 The weakened heart muscle and the suicidal threats and binge drinking. I’ve heard before that very traumatic experiences and loss can weaken/damage hearts. 7 Link to comment

Joimiaroxeu March 21, 2019 Share March 21, 2019 As mentioned upthread, the nominations Y&R got: BEST ACTOR Peter Bergman, as Jack Abbott The Young and the Restless, CBS BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Bryton James, as Devon Hamilton The Young and the Restless, CBS BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Beth Maitland, as Traci Abbott The Young and the Restless, CBS Mishael Morgan, as Hilary Curtis The Young and the Restless, CBS BEST YOUNGER ACTOR Zach Tinker, as Fenmore Baldwin The Young and the Restless, CBS All four soaps got noms in the Best Directing Team and Best Writing Team categories. I'm mystified by the one for Tinker as Fen. I never saw his portrayal as anything particularly outstanding. And it's interesting how many of the key Y&R players got shut out.

SweePea59 March 24, 2019 Share March 24, 2019 I'm still sad about KSJ, but very relieved by the coroner's report. Every time I was thinking about him, which has been a lot, I kept hearing his voice in my head saying, "it was an accident", very adamantly and eventually to the point of yelling. So glad he's been vindicated. 8 Link to comment

When he said (paraphrasing): "I know some fans aren't happy with the Rosales family but they're going to have to suck it up we're not going anywhere..." lmao. He clearly doesn't get how soaps work when a new regime comes in. 11 7 Link to comment
Joimiaroxeu March 25, 2019 Share March 25, 2019 (edited) Wow, I didn't realize Carolyn Hinsey was still around and still in the soap opera game. I remember when all the soap stars had to suck up to her because she wielded a lot of influence PR-wise. That was mostly before the advent of social media though, after which actors could exert more personal control over their contact with and perception by the public. So Arturo is heading out. I suspect he'll take Mia with him or she'll soon follow, even though the actress claims she's going nowhere. Rey seems like a tossup to me since it looks like he's going to be fired by the GCPD. However, it also looks like he and Sharon are going to be a couple so maybe he'll stick around and start his own PI agency. The show seems to be trying to build up the Summer/Kyle/Lola triangle so I think it looks doubtful that Lola will be leaving in the short run. Ch-ch-ch-changes! Quote He clearly doesn't get how soaps work when a new regime comes in. Perhaps but the Rosales family was a pet project of the head of CBS Daytime, who is Latina. He's probably had reason to believe he and the other three actors were safe under her wing. Apparently something has changed at her level or above her though.

Sake614 March 25, 2019 Share March 25, 2019 (edited) Carolyn Hinsey can suck it. Arturo was introduced long before the rest of his family was even a thought. He was a contractor hired by Nick who ended up shtupping Nikki and then fell for Abby. Lola was mentioned once or twice after several months but not seen until much later. Rey Rey and Mia were both afterthoughts but even they were brought on separately. The oroblem wasn’t with the introduction it was the Rosales family taking over the entire show. And honestly while Arturo has bugged me for a while, he and Lola are the least objectionable of that family. Mia is a joke and Rey is useless (except apparently to sharon).

And honestly while Arturo has bugged me for a while, he and Lola are the least objectionable of that family. Mia is a joke and Rey is useless (except apparently to sharon). I don't think there was much time between the introductions. Arturo did have a head start and he was pretty back burner as he should have been at the beginning. (Though I wouldn't describe him as having been on "long before" the rest of his family.) But once Mal decided a family was coming (whenever that was done) it was extremely fast by soap standards. I don't have any opinion on Carolyn Hinsey (or really know who she is) but she's right. They came on too quickly, interacted inexplicably only among themselves for far too much of their story (like who gives a fuck about Mia and Rey and whether her past with Arturo threatens their marriage?), and were leading in episode counts as a group (!??) well ahead of all established characters (I think Josh Morrow is the only one who was on par with them). That's nuts. It's a simple rule of soaps and to be honest I can't think of anyone who's broken it this egregiously as far as Y&R is concerned. Not only was this family brought on very quickly they were given front burner stories very quickly. 1 16 Link to comment

You need new characters that aren’t related to everyone else on the show. But when they were suddenly front and center at the expense of established characters, fans resented it. Of course there are some who will resent any new character even if he/she is only seen once a month. But i think most are open to new people, so long as they’re integrated into the existing stories instead of given their own right away. 18 Link to comment

Badsamaritan March 26, 2019 Share March 26, 2019 I never understood why they didn't bring back the John Silva character and use him to start integrating Hispanic characters. Long time viewers remember him (he was damn fine too, not sure why he didn't get more play amongst the ladies of YR) and he could've been brought back during Prictor's incarceration and then start to build from there. But that would have made way too much sense. 1 10 Link to comment
JasonCC March 26, 2019 Share March 26, 2019 (edited) Well, I feel bad for JC if he wanted to stay and not branch out. The mistake with the Rosales clan was indeed having too many scenes where it was just all them talking about stuff that happened off-screen in the past. A sometimes viewer who is ripe for being sucked back into "their soap" might flip it on and not know who the hell these people were. I had a nearly 8 year break from the show but what pulled me back in was "recognizing" Lauren and Michael (even though those two were NEVER my faves) interacting amidst a bunch of what were to me strangers (Jana, Amber, Kevin, etc). There was something (Marland book?) that said the key to folding in new characters is putting them with existing ones first. The irony with Arturo is they actually did do that with him--if not the siblings later. Edited March 26, 2019 by JasonCC 13 Link to comment

I experienced the same thing as you coming back to a soap after years away from it--you look for the characters you remember, and gradually figure out the network of connections to other characters you don't know yet, based on the familiar people. JC was given the college try, as you say, but to me, he was just short in the acting-range department. Jordi V actually isn't a bad actor, and he's got a lot of soap mileage on him, but the character is written horribly. Senora Mia, OTOH, isn't even a love-to-hate, she has no redeeming virtues to me. 16 Link to comment
