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.

Keep Tristan Rogers on Y&R

What a travesty.  The queen of plot-driven character-changing writing has continued her drive to stamp out anything that is enjoyable and fun in Genoa City.  The murder trial was boring before it began.  Victor is doing his evil bit again, with no consequences.  Katherine has become a Gladys Kravitz.  The show has become a snorefest that tears people apart instead of letting us enjoy the story of people in love or people enjoying life.  I get the same warm and fuzzy feeling from watching the 10 O'clock news.

The one bright spot in Y&R has been watching Colin and Jill.  They are playful and support each other.  Their early flirting and their current rekindling just made you happy for them.  The times they shared tears over Cane's death, made you grab your box of kleenex.  Tristan takes a scene that has no substance and makes it come alive.  His grins and growls both work to keep you glued to the set.  Jill is strong again, allowing Jess to have more time on screen, a good move there.

What ticks me off, and many of you, is that Maria Arena Bell is given free reign to tear apart what used to be a great show.  She wanted to get ride of Cane, so she killed him- dead, dead, dead.  Then Sony made her bring him back, and she put little effort into doing so in a realistic way.  And, though I like Genie Francis, Genevieve has only served to clutter up the story.  And now Bell has decided that if she has to keep Cane, she'll show us all (I can hear her maniacal laugh)- she'll kill off Colin.  This makes no sense!

How is taking a character, in fact a very important character, out of Cane's life going to enhance Cane's story?  Nope.  It's just a power play... a game move... a finger in the air, pointing at all those who don't agree with her royal status of Bell-dom.

This is why we must band together and contact CBS and Sony and demand that they fix this epic fail.  If you ever enjoyed a single scene, take part in our efforts to restore the fun to Y&R.  Tell TPTB how much you enjoy Colin and Jill.  Tell them how much you love watching Tristan and that you want him back on the show.
