And having a younger tycoon with biological ties to a Y&R original gives him a basis for a more permanent place on YR.

I vote for Jack/Ashley/Sharon/Nick/Katherine/Kevin/Lauren/Michael/Jill. Those are who watch for.

The Jill that you are probably thinking of was Deborah Adair who left Y&R to be on Dynasty and later went Melrose Place. Braeden might be more believable if he was given believable storylines.

I LOVE Peter Bergman. But, his assessment of where the stories should focus is not the same as mine. I love all the Fisher/Baldwin clan. And I typically ffwd thru Vic and Nik. Would love to see Jack and Jill pairing. The Terry Lester departure story was that he did not like working with the actress who played Cricket/Christine who was terrible actress.

It was interesting to hear about first Jack. I never saw him as I've watched Y&R under 3 years, but I like Peter as Jack. However, I thought it a bit ungentlemanly to mention the maid s/l such in a negative way (even though I agree with him) since Kate Linder still works on Y&R & I believe she has been there longer than he. I'm also suspect of some of the things he says about Eric Braeden, as I've heard EB say something quite different as to certain subjects. But, I still really like him as Jack!

I also have learned alot from these posts! I have been watching from the early seventies!! I remember Terry Lester and enjoyed his light-heartedness and that smile. That smile is what prolly coined him the moniker of "Smilin' Jack"! It took me a while to get used to PG. (He shouldn't have a potty-mouth in an interview!) I am so surprized to learn of the animosity between PG and EB! I wonder if that energy is used to add depth to their scenes with each other. What is missing is any mention of Lynn Marie Latham. Is she still directing? I have read blogs in the past that blame Y&R's lagging story lines to her. But y'all say that Y&R is on top again so I guess it's moot. The brass does have to nurture the next generation of cast members...the name IS the YOUNG and the restless, afterall! Also, I agree about Jack and Sharon being implausible as well as Nick and Phyllis. But Ashley falling for Victor AGAIN and Sharon falling for Adam is perpostrous!! These characters are losing their depth IMHO. I DID like Nikki and Paul together even though it was too soon for Nikki...I remember when they were together eons ago when they were both sooo young! I really want the baby-switch to be resolved soon. (It finally WAS on DOOL! I felt like starting a betting-pool to gamble on which switch would resolve first!) This storyline is losing its energy, and it shouldn't. What these two women went through should still be front and center in their lives and should still define them but they are moving on and it just doesn't feel right. Oh Well... Bring back Kimo!!! ;-) Wow! I also have learned alot from these posts! I have been watching from the early seventies!! I remember Terry Lester and enjoyed his light-heartedness and that smile.
