I have been watching the Y & R since it began. I'm not understanding why so many of the key characters are leaving? Is it their choice? Is this the writers choice? Are the long time cast costing CBS too much? What is the problem? Is there conflict within the cast and the writers? The show is changing and the story lines are taking way too long to complete. Still not sure why Lily is in jail when everyone else gets out of serving time. Stupid story line. Just my thoughts.
