Is it available to watch in the UK? My mom watches it every day, and while I was there last year I watched it on and off. The whole Jack-swap thing was beyond words.

No. I watch it online. I am a bit new it really. Only been watching it a few weeks. I binged watched all of may's episodes to catch up with June's. Despite having never seen the show, i got into the show within a few episodes. The constant references to what I had not seen were really helpful, plus some added help from Wiki.
I am really addicted to it at the moment. All the storylines are really strong The Victor Newman/Adam Newman saga. Sharon Newman's bipolar and baby swap storyline Victoria's romance with the barman Travis Hilary's health problems and her destruction Billy and Phyllis's affair |

They have really ruined Sharon's character, if you go watch stuff from the 90's and 00's, Sharon was a nice normal character that had some bad things happen to her. Bill Bell must be spinning in his grave.

From what i have made sense of, a character called Sage had a baby and she thought it died. It turned out Sharon had stolen it. Sage found out and was going to tell people. Sharon chased after her in a car, which led to Sage dying in a car crash. Sharon has made out to everyone it is her son. Her daughter Mariah is aware of the truth. Sharon isn't coping and she keeps seeing sage's ghost. Plus she is bipolar and has stopped taking her meds. She even attacked her own daughter because she thought she was Sage. It does seem to be edging towards Sharon possibly telling the truth soon.

I really hope Mal Young can turn this show around.....he's got his work cut out for him. |

Ugh that all sounds terrible and out of character, Sharon had her baby stolen, Adam had told Sharon her baby Faith died a few years ago and gave it to Ashley. So after going through that why would she turn around and do the same thing? And that whole Bi-polar thing was a last minute rewrite to justify Sharon's out of character behavior.

Because you are aware of the show from the past, you can obviously point out the flaws in the story. As a newbie, i am finding it enjoyable.

Yeah that's it and it's probably why I had no issue with Blackburn's tenure on Corrie. You should look on youtube for old clips of Y&R from 10-15 years ago, the show was so much better than it is now.

Here is an article with an exert from a Soap Opera Digest Interview with new Y&R EP Mal Young. I really hope he's able to turn the show around.

I think out of all three US soaps i watch, this one is my fav. No idea why. It feels slightly more grounded.
Oh and I bumped this thread for Dan as he is wanting to get into this soap. |

I watched Y&R last week. While I think its better than the 3 remaining soaps it still has a lot of work to do before it gets back on track. Its nice that they are undoing the re-do of the Chancellor Mansion. Katherine would be rolling in her grave if she saw that horrible grey they painted it.
![]() Also do you watch any of the primetime US soaps, like Empire, The Haves and The Have Nots, or the new on Greenleaf? I wish i had see the show when Katherine was in. and yes. In terms of primetime soaps, i watch Empire The Royals Devious Maids Mistresses Greenleaf (a few episodes behind) Scandal How To Get Away With Murder Reign I didn't like The Haves and The Haves Not, or the other called If Loving You Is Wrong. But i am open to giving them another chance |

Cool. If you give The Haves and The Have Nots another chance you can't look at it as a soap, you need to look at it as a spoof of a soap. I don't know how Tyler Perry expects anyone to take that show seriously.

LOL I know but that is what you expect from a Tyler Perry production. They do have some hot guys to look at like Benny, Wyatt and Jeffery. Plus Jeffery has this DL cop that he's sleeping with now.
