I had a miscarriage in 1980. And she is right, you do feel like an utter failure. It's horrible.

<le sigh>

 

(((Peaches)))

[PatsyandEddie]

Poor Missy ?

Hugs peaches! Been there and bought that ugly T-shirt x2 . Rips your heart out. 

[peacheslatour]

Thanks, my friend. I'm so sorry.

? Sweet post, Missy.

And so so sorry, you guys. It never occurred to me women felt they had failed after a miscarriage. That is just heartbreaking.

I did, so much. It was like it was the one thing I was supposed to be able to and I failed.

Our daughter had 3 miscarriages before she was able to have their son. Each one just broke our hearts and made us worry even more that she’d never be able to carry a baby to term. She blamed herself too not matter how many times we told her it was nothing she did or didn’t do that caused it. So sad for all of you who had to endure this.

Eileen's last day is on Friday.

[Gam2]

Is Eileen counting down her last days of filming or the last days she’ll be shown on Y&R? I’m confused by this but it makes me sad no matter whatever it is. I loved watching you as Ashley, Eileen. Thank you for many years of pleasure.

[spinxella]

Eileen is counting down her last days of filming. They're taping her exit this week.

Based on these ratings, I’m convinced Mal’s out but just HW/EP in name only. JG has got to be running things (with others?). Would be a good time for show to put a woman in charge tbh (if for optics if nothing else).

This way when they announce Mal’s firing they won’t lose even more viewers with a months and months long wait for regime change.

The unprecedentedly and consistently low ratings, the BTS crap, the disproportionate departures of women. I cannot conceive how this guy could still in be in charge.

Or they could try giving someone new a chance instead of passing the same 8 or 9 HW's around from the dwindling pool of shows.

I think Mal was their attempt at someone new. And it has proved an abysmal failure. I doubt they’d risk it again. Daily soaps are an almost dead genre.

Not sure who writes this and ratings are indeed trash but it isn’t accurate to say a million viewers are lost using those stats. You can’t compare December to August. You should only compare December to December etc. 

But overall I agree the numbers are very bad. And show knows it.

Wait!  I thought Nate was Nate's love interest?

[rcc]

I hope she's a feisty one and takes him down a peg. Otherwise he will be still unwatchable for me.

[miamama]

They’re pairing two newbies. 

Yeah. That’ll boost ratings.

After today, when Nate summoned his expertise in Life to eke a smile out of Victoria, I was convinced they were being shoved together.

[valleycliffe]

apparently they are going to temporarily recast dummer so that hk can work at life in pieces...it will be for 4 episodes i think...

they sure can be accommodating when they want to be...

[HeatLifer]

I don’t like to overly exaggerate, but man, Mal really did contribute to the downfall of Y&R. It’s a damn mess. 

[spinxella]

 

 

[valleycliffe]

i usually hit the end key to go to the bottom of the page and when i saw the pic of the recast i thought trolls were posting porn pics..

lol  but it's just dummer 2.0

Today is Eileen's last day working on Y&R. She just taped her final scenes with the Abbott Family.

No kidding about her IG!

She is the grand-niece of Roger Corman.  For that reason alone, I am intrigued.

Sorry but I’m still bitchy today. All I get out of that photo is that her couch is dirty.

Why Are Soap Operas STILL On The Air?

It was published in May 2017 so it's a little dated.

Enjoyed it! Thanks, babyhouseman!

Although the Myra Breckenridge/Mae West vibe is getting louder.

I saw Shemar Moore on Access Hollywood Live today and he was talking about Y&R. They had old footage of him doing Circus of the Stars. He said he did it two months (April 1994) after joining Y&R. He said played Malcom Winters on Y&R and was Dracula’s baby’s daddy. He was also doing the circus with Schae Harrison from B&B. He even mentioned her name and B&B. I was really impressed that after 25 years he was proudly talking about Y&R and even remembered Scahe Harrison who he didn’t even work with.

I'm dying here from laughter!

"Dracula's baby daddy", OMG this is killing me!

[Snaporaz]

Since they aren't advertising much soap anymore, maybe they should start calling them "pharma operas".  Sometimes, the commercials don't even tell you what ailment the drugs cure.  I've seen Y&R alumni Reed and Graham in some of the ads recently!  

[Tippi]

I wasn't going to say anything...but Dracula's baby daddy has made me laugh until I cried.
