I hope somebody post this on MAB's door...because Y&R was put on blast....to be the number one soap......and it gets torn apart like this. Especially since TV Guide Canada earlier was praising MAB&Co.

Funny how things change. He was the one not too long ago kissing MAB's a## and praising everything she did.

Oh - - Nelson Branco? No problem with that. You should google his name and see what people think of his views. Wow!

I want to give props to Daniel Goddard, Stacy Haiduk, and Billy Miller on being acknowledged for their great acting.

The best drama didn't even happen on Y&R. MTS and EB's contract issues...were more suspenseful then any s/l this whole year.

I am so glad...they recognized the fact that killing off legacy characters is horrible. I killing off Brad and Colleen this year....was just stupid.

No problem...I hope you all enjoy the list.
