Y&R story lines have been really boring lately. I fast forward the scenes regarding Tessa and Mariah. This is not because of gay scenes, it is because they are so boring together. Mariah was a great actor when she was with Noah. Her scenes with Tessa appears awkward and irrelevant to the story line. Sharon's hiding her cancer prognosis was so uncalled for and they made it not an informative situation but a boring story line. Once again, the older characters have been placed in the back ground. Now, all we see is incompetent Kyle trying to run Jabot and confused Victoria running Newman. She cannot focus on a company while worrying about Billy all the time. I want Victor, Jack, Paul, Nikki, Phyllis, Michael, Lauren back in major story lines instead use these young horrible actors in smaller stories. The new Chance is horrible. Hillary as Amanda is dumb. Colin stealing and getting away with Devon's money was dumb. Please replace the Lily. It is not fair to the viewers to have a part time character because she choose to move away to be with her boyfriend in Canada. I want to see real acting on the Y&R with great story lines before the show is cancelled and replaced with a talk or reality show.
