Is Y&R attempting to restore itself after those less than stellar months. Random thoughts: Felt for Jill so bad, don't like her and Kay enemies. AND BRING ON STEPHEN NICHOLS PLEASE! No discredit to William Russ, but not what I'm looking for in this businessman & Kay's son. Good luck in the future to you though!

Check out this interview Peter Bergman (Jack) of Y&R dishes with ET Online!
Read in full, but here are some excerpts:
ET: How has daytime changed over the more than 20 years you have been a part of it?
Peter Bergman: Let me give you a few examples. When I first started, on every single show there was the town slut. You can't do that post-AIDS. People on television are talking about whether or not they are protected. That stuff never went on 30 years ago. Scenes were longer. Stuff really happened in scenes. Between commercials there would be two scenes, now there are four.
ET: Do you think that is because of MTV?
Peter Bergman: In part because of MTV; in part, America's attention span has just shrunk.
ET: Why do you think "Y&R" has been No. 1 for so long? Do you think it is the reality of the stories?Read more...
Peter Bergman: I think in part it is the reality of the stories. There is something to be said for momentum and people not changing the channel. When you turn on "The Young and the Restless," you know what you are going to see. You are probably going to see Nikki (Scott), or Victor, or Jack, or Ashley (Eileen Davidson) -- the people that you are used to seeing on the show. Some of these other shows, you turn it on and you don't know the characters.
ET: And you know this because…?
Peter Bergman: I always make it my business to watch [other soaps]. I am here at Television City in my dressing room. I watch "Days of our Lives," "One Life to Live," "All My Children," "General Hospital" and "The Bold and the Beautiful." I make my way around a) because I have friends on these shows; and b) because I can steal stuff.
Look what SOD has just posted:Soap Opera Digest has learned that Y&R has put out a casting call for Malcolm Winters, the role previously played by Emmy winner Shemar Moore from 1994-2002, and again in 2004-05. The role is set to start airing in November. The show is also looking for Tucker, who is described as a 55-60 year-old-maverick billionaire. The role is contract and will also start in November. The show is seeking "known, established actors."
Michael Fairman conducted this month's RealHealth feature interview with Y&R's Kristoff St. John. RealHealth is a health magazine for African-American wellness. In the interview, St. John talks about dealing with his ex-wife Alanna's diabetes, concerns for his daughter, and much more! Get the mag or check it out online.
Lookie here what Daytime Confidential has posted with a scoop from Soap Opera Digest.
This week's Soap Opera Digest has scoop about Tognoni being in preliminary talks with The Young and the Restless. I told y'all the day GL was cancelled Babs Bloom wasn't trying to see Ms. Gina T. head back the Land O' Frons!Read more...Unfortunately, it isn't the role of Victoria Newman (last played by Heather Tom. No that isn't a typo.) Tognoni could be assuming. An insider tells Digest the soap is thinking about bringing a character back to Genoa City that Tognoni would be "perfect" for. Work that mojo G!
According to People, Y&R star Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) is expecting her first child via surrogate. She told the mag:"After a three-year journey through hell, I'm elated, ecstatic and feel ultimately lucky to be able to announce I'm expecting my own child via surrogate in December,"
Congrats Michelle!
Daytime Confidential's Jamey Giddens is reporting that Roscoe Born will be returning to one of his former sudsers for a top-secret storyline, but doesn't let us know who yet!!
It makes perfect sense that it is peak time for one of Born's alter egos on three soaps to return. His OLTL character Mitch (whom Born played from 1985-1987, then again from 2002-2003)'s daughter Jessica (Bree Williamson) is freaking out because she's being stalked. Y&R's Tom (whom Born portrayed from 2005-2006, and again in a dream in 2009)'s son Kevin (Greg Rikaart) finds out daddy had another son in Ryder (Wilson Bethel). But what if he pops up in Salem as Trent Robbins (Born played in 2008) just as life is getting good for daughter Melanie (Molly Burnett).
Guess we'll just have to stay tuned..
Eyes still peeled and mind running haywire thinking about where they are going to go with this. Are the rampant rumors of Tammin Surrsok's exit being proved. Could things turn wrong for MJ (PLEASE NO!).
