A few weeks ago, Peter Bergman (Jack) told me that there was a major effort underway to refocus and, in essence, rebuild Young & Restless. (You can read everything he had to say, especially with regards to the Abbott family, here.) Of course, we hear that kind of talk all the time. Every few years, Days of Our Lives’ executive producer, Ken Corday,...
Need proof? Look at Tucker McCall. He’s Ashley’s ex, Devon’s dad and Victoria’s secret business rival. Or the really lovely drama surrounding young Connor, who is struggling to deal with the fact that mom Chelsea also gave birth to his good pal-turned-half-sibling, Johnny, which in turn is causing friction between Billy and Lily. In both of these s...
I’ll confess that I’ve had a lot of issues with the character of Sally, dating back to the way she was written on Bold & Beautiful. It has nothing to do with portrayer Courtney Hope, who is wildly appealing, but rather the character just never really seeming all that well-defined to me. Was she a good girl who makes mistakes? A bad girl trying to d...

Speaking of Tessa, she and wife Mariah have been ridiculously backburnered for ages. Remembe...
While the core families have been well represented of late, other much-loved characters have been completely sidelined. Sharon has nothing to do but serve coffee and offer people advice.

There are two big elements missing from Young & Restless right now, and both are vitally important to any soap. The first is romance. Yes, as I mentioned earlier, we’re getting some nice stuff with the Adam/Sally/Nick situation. But otherwise, there’s not really all that much in the way of romance on the show. Why is Jack single? What do we have to...
• Can we just admit that Noah’s nightclub is a bust? It’s basically a corner at the Grand Phoenix. A corner does not a club make. • Traci reading a book written by a fellow author who was looking for a cover blurb may have been a throwaway line, but it was also very real. Look at the back of any romance novel, and you’ll find quotes from other writ...
