This must be about whatever is going on with Jill that SSM said in her article.

Oh....Colin is back.......

Nothing against Tristan Rogers, but I don't like Colin.  And not in that good "love to hate way", just the "get that tired conceit of a character off my screen" way.  He and Jill have a remarkable lack of chemistry or believability, not to mention how, for me, the con man-type character grows stale faster almost than a ButtBiscuit left out of the package starts to stink up the joint.

I do wonder if he'll get a retooling under SSM.

SSM said Jill re-evaluates her life because of this crisis so that tells me Colin might be on his way out permanently. He's a one-note buffoon. I like TR too but not on this show. I'm curious about her plans for Jill though. 

[TwistedSoul7]

I don't think it means TR is out. I can very easily see him staying but might be rewritten differently. In fact I bet that is the case because SSM could have easily just written him out in December. Simple as that. TR seems way to thrilled. He was never like that with Pratt even when he would announce his upcoming appearances. It was always kind of like "Yeah I am back...for a day or whatever." kind of thing. SSM seem to be able rebuilding families and like it or not he is Cane's father and Lily's kids grandfather.

Yep. Ashley and Traci were both married to Brad. Nikki was engaged to Brad; Victoria was married to him. Victoria and Nikki fought over Cole.

Didn't Ashley get in on that also?  I have to be honest, I find it hilarious the way soap men are passed around among soap women.  So basically, we have this metropolis of Genoa City, complete with skyscrapers and large world-renowned conglomerates, but these are the only people they can pair up with.  I remember when Victoria ran away to Italy...when Victor & Nikki paid her a visit, they asked if there was "anyone special" and Victoria said no, she was dating different men.  Then she moves back to GC and bam, had to get together with her mother's (and step-mother's) ex.

...who then cheats on her with her former sister in law!

Granted, Y&R never had anything approaching Ridge/Bridget levels of gross, but geez....Bill Bell loved to keep it in the family. I think in all the time I followed ATWT, I only remember Carly and Rosanna being the only sisters sharing an ex and I've never heard much about this on the other shows. 

Yeah, it must be a Bell quirk. :/

...Oh God! I'd completely blocked that out (along with the Emily/Casey WTFery)! Sadly the show had begun it's death spiral around that time and nearly every character was ruined by the end. 

Yeah, gimme ButtBiscuit over everything going on in Oakdale in the last season :p

[JasonCC]

I would prefer Colin to stay on, actually......but given more to do. If we have to keep Cane around Colin may as well stay.

They've cast a new Bella for some reason. She looks just like the current one to me. I was hoping Chloe was leaving. I see no purpose for her. And gods but I hope this child isn't Billy's.

[peacheslatour]

If Bella is Buttbiscuit's, maybe TIIC will decide to redeem him by having him marry Chloe and moving far, far away.

That would be a gift. I actually don't care what happens to ButtBiscuit once he's out of Jack's orbit but to have had a whole storyline of KILLING off Delia only to recreate her -- right down to the looks -- as Billy's child is NUTS. He will have three children under the age of 5. I'm hoping Sally makes the kid's dad some random and sends Chloe and Bella on their way. 

And IF the child is Billy's he still will continue to whine about Delia (though Sally has promised no more Delia memorials). So what is the point?

So we will have had FOUR Billy's moaning about his dead daughter only to give him two daughters as replacement. This guy is a Newman, I swear.

I read that to mean the animosity between the two characters for the past few years, especially.  I remember EB saying in an interview not all that long ago that he thought his character shouldn't ever take Nikki back for not standing up for him or some such nonsense.  And now she's become his cheerleader, for the most part.

That's how I read it.

YES!!! Shick is the most overused  overdone mess on soaps.. Shick should never get back together.. they both treat each other like shit.. and sharon has fucked all of the relatives of Nick's she could find. So gross.

Yeah  but she's  mentally ill ...everyone else is just humping each other's left-overs, exes, garden gnomes, maybe brothers..."Put him down, Summer"

[Anna Yolei]

Even apart from her illness, Billy/Sharon were a ONS and when it came our following Sharon's pregnancy  I seem to remember Billy showing shame and regret for hurting Jack. Mind you, Jack and Sharon had been split up for months at that point. 

Philly as a concept didn't bother me as much as the bullshit love story Pratt tried to sell them as. Nope. Ain't happening. There's no putting lipstick on that piggy.

Ok, this could be my paranoia working overtime here, as it has been for the lsst two weeks...but the banner ad fot The Talk that appeared on today's show said Cameron Mathison was a guest today.  I dob't watch that show, but I've noticed he's often a guest there.  Very often.  Why?  What is he plugging?  Or is CBS Daytime trying to get us used to him?  What I'm driving at is...Is he going to be Adam #4?  Because, just no...Between him and ButtBiscuit, I just wouldn't be able to handle all of the mugging and douchebaggery, no matter who is writing the show.

[spinxella]

[Snaporaz]

Well, how stupid...if the kid playing Charlie was leaving, why didn't they hire the new Moses to replace him?  He looks more like he could be Lily's and Cane's kid than Neil's and Sophia's.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Don't worry about Cameron. The guy is pushing 50 and looks it. He is not going to be recast as Adam unless they retcon Adam to be older than his siblings. As far as The Talk is concerned, they have a so-called "entertainment reporter" on the show almost every day. CM is the weekend and fill-in guy on Entertainment Tonight so that's why he's in the rotation on The Talk. I guess Y&R could hire him for a new character but I still can't see it. He can't act and it's painfully obvious. He's also rather self-conscious, IMO, about his looks. Seems to me if Y&R really wanted him they would've done it while he was still riding high on his AMC status. Don't do it, Show. Some of us are still mad about what he did to AMC.

Ugh, KSJ again so busy being somebody's toady that he misses the point. (Or at least pretends like he does) The problem isn't whether the little boy now playing Moses is or isn't biracial, the issue is that the character of Moses isn't. I am 99.9% confident he knows what's likely really going on with that casting.

They give that asshat a job as anything other than a speed bump in front of Rexx Rugs and I'll personally come down there and wedge his thong so high even ButtBiscuits will notice.

Awful doesn't begin to describe Ham Mat.

No one else has humped sons and fathers from the same family... only Sharon. :) Ya the crazy card don't work for me.. unless they have her stay in the mental palace forever that just does not cut it.

No, but Nikki and Vikki share three exes between them (and nearly a fourth before Braeden eighty-sixed a Jack/Victoria paring that was in the works shortly after AH came onboard), Stitch was with Abby's sister and mother, and it looks like Chelsea will bang Adam's other brother soon enough.

This is just classic Bell to me. But the true craziness lately has been her insistence to a claim on SullyCAN, which....no. I hate the general dumping on her character when everyone gets away with far worse, but her behavior lately is indefensible.

I don't know why people are complaining to KSJ about casting. What do they expect him to do?  How about complaining to one of the higher ups who actually has a say in the matter.

I think they were commiserating, thinking he would understand their frustration. He stupidly chose to defend the choice...and off it went.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Yep. I think if KSJ had a choice between keeping his figurative mouth shut and commenting on a decision that was perhaps above his pay grade, he probably should have stayed out of it. I hope this is a situation that he just stepped into and that he hasn't been used by TPTB to take the heat for them. If it is the latter, they probably should've found a better spokesman because AFAIC he's not really helping and is making himself look like a tool.

Yep, same here. I'm on a Chromebook.

There is a note up top asking folks not to embed tweets (choose link option instead) because Internet Explorer users (and safari I notice on my iPhone) will have page expansion (jumping) with tweets. PTV will fix but in meantime this is the request.

Thank you.  I scrolled thru all the twitter feeds, while it messed with my computer, and all I saw was a lot of reaction to something that isn't the issue.  We aren't dissing biracial people, we are criticizing the casting choice.  Settle down, Kneel.

Ham Mat, Lord of the Douche, does that to me, too.  He's the original ButtBiscuit Supreme.

[miamama]

In case anyone was under the impression we'd see less of Summer with HK on contract on prime time, this interview ought to disabuse you of that notion. I'm in the minority in that I don't hate HK. I think she's talented. But I do loathe Summer more often than not. My fantasy was always that Summer be a mean girl. HK could pull it off (and be much less irritating in the process).

I have heard actors can only be on contract to one show at a time so in her case it seems that's why she was dropped to recurring -- as opposed to the gnome who was actually let go.

I've found that fans always complain to actors as if they've got the power to do anything. 

So they've cast Charlie to look like Moses should and Moses to look like Charlie should. 

[peacheslatour]

I've never understood why people complain to lowly store clerks or waitstaff about policies they had no input on and have absolutely no control over. These people are just trying to do their jobs, not screw you over or mortally offend you. If you have a problem, write to corporate or speak to management.

Just found out why Michael Graziadei was sporting that pornstache when he made his brief return to Y&R. He's in the series "Good Girls Revolt" playing a 1970s magazine journalist. That was probably the peak era for that look and it fits him on the series. On Y&R it was a little odd though.

[Snaporaz]

^I thought the pornstache was totally in character for Daniel!  As was Phyllis' disapproval, which was a good opportunity for GT to be believable as his mom.

Branden Stennis looks as if he could be Lily's child-same features (eyes, smile), posture and probably has her personality.  Too bad he wasn't cast as Charlie.
