Not so young... but getting quite restless.

As a Y&R fan, I've been one who loves the show and has been frustrated by the show, off and on throughout the years. This is mostly due to how certain writers have led the way, some good, some not so good. I've also been re-energized by the ways that some of the vets have been given a chance to shine more. So here is my place to cheer, to jeer, and to share my favorite moments.

Y&R Open Letter

I want to share a link to an open letter written by a Y&R fan that makes a number of good points.

I do want to say that I agree with most of what is said. Two notable exceptions are found in #14 of the letter: "The talent of Tristan Rodgers and Genie Francis is being wasted. Genevieve is really too campy."

First, it is "Rogers" and second, I believe the campiness to be the fault of the writers and the director.  Genie was looking for a role that exuded power, not helplessness or craziness.  If that were the case, she would have returned to General Hospital during the Guza reign of terror.  I DO agree that Tristan and Genie's talent is being wasted, just like the talent of a number of other Y&R actors who sit on the sidelines during the "Newman Hour".

I also want to say there is one glaring error- Jess Walton is not mentioned.  I wonder if the writer was so overcome with frustration that that she/he just overloaded and missed intended comments about Jess?  But other than those two issues, I stand and applaud the article.  Now everyone go out and email it to CBS/Sony.
