It’s not a secret that fans have not been happy with the way Chuck Pratt, Jr. has written the storylines on “The Young and the Restless,” especially the sweep months in the past year. Fans have recently gotten all up in arms about the way November sweeps is being written. The “The Young and the Restless” has a reputation of being believable and not as far-fetched as some of the other soaps; however, recently, the storylines are becoming far-fetched and repetitive.

It looks like that is all changing. The fire scene last for hours, yet no one but Stitch [Sean Carrigan] was seriously hurt. And, after all the escaping Ian Ward [Ray Wise] has done over the past year, they are going to presume him and Patty [Stacy Haiduk] as dead? The whole storyline made the fans scratch their heads, for the most part.
Chuck Pratt, Jr. is one of those writers who truly believed fans want to see these catastrophic events on the soaps. Fans don’t want these disasters; they want drama. And by drama, they don’t want to see baby kidnapping, paternity shake-ups, and father and son infidelity storylines. They want real drama like who killed Diane Jenkins [Maura West].

The fact is with Jill Farren Phelps calling the shots; many fans have given up on their favorite daytime soap opera. “The Young and the Restless” has a huge following, with almost five million viewers each day. Most soap operas have half that, and they are happy with it. It’s time to hire an actual fan of the show as head scribe. Fans are calling for someone who knows how to create drama without the need to kill people, kidnap babies, or switch paternity back and forth.
If you are like most fans and think Chuck Pratt, Jr. should be out of a job, you can voice your opinion at the new petition. The petition is calling for the firing of Chuck Pratt, Jr. and Jill Farren Phelps. One fact that you cannot argue is that if a big change isn’t made soon, “The Young and the Restless” could face cancellation. Fans must take a stand before it is too late, and the soap is taken off the air.

Love how its gone,its crazy,its mind babbling and its drama…ive been watching as a little girl and im 35 yrs old now with me daughter and husband watching…great job
The Young & The Restless.
Been a fan since day 1, so I am a huge fan! The fire, Jack’s kidnapping, and now Christain gone is all a little drawn out! Still love show, just not as much as I once did!
i don’t like the story line very much. i think i will be watching another soap
How farfetched. Almost 5 million viewers and cancellation afoot??? Sounds like jealous Chuck and Jill haters. Y & R rocks the soap world.
Some people will never be satisfied. I don’t care for the baby storyline with Sharon, or even the Hilary storyline, but loved the dramatic fire at Newman building storyline. Victor has gotten away with everything oved the years and its about time he pays for it. I’m glad they didn’t kill anyone off in the fire. Don’t want to see any of the actor’actress leave. I miss MM but Justin is just as awesome. Miss BM too, wish he missed Y&R.
This baby story of Sharon getting Nick’s baby is dasterdly . Who is this Dr.and who is she trying to payback. Sharon had be better until she lost her baby and it is mind blowing that the storyline has taken her in this direction. Get back on track soon or I will stop watching.
I am disappointed in the storyline for y& r. Everything is so unbelievable right now. Let Sharon get well and some of these bad people get what they deserve.
Agree
Really need new writers on Y& R
Y&R the storyline needs another direction. They keep repeating storylines. Sharon and the baby storyline dumb. Why is actors coming and going on Y&R? Contracts need to be sealed. Make the actors & fans happy. I love Victor on Y&R. He is one of your best actors for the show. You are crazy not sealing a deal with actors… Stop letting go of your actors and make a great storyline for us all to enjoy. We love drama and excitement “but” stop repeating the same kind of storyline down the road on another actor. Make things like outdoor excitements, car racing, swimming, beaches, boats, different trips, snow boarding, fishing, shopping, watching a game with your children, dancing at a school play, other activities. Some kind of an idea, as to Y&R, everyday living outside of working, dining, hospital or at home. Let their families come to town and through some excitement in the storyline on their stories. And don’t repeat other storylines. These actors do have friends or families out there, parents, siblings, children, aunts, uncles, grandparents, ex-spouse, you get the picture. Every actor should have something in their closets. Dig it out!
I’m done watching. Watched for 25 yrs.
I liked how Adam is facing up to his hitting DD, even though we all know he didnt. I hate theHolatu/Devon and Neil crap. I hate the baby steling…enough already. Now all of a sudden someone wants to get back at nick??? Same old story lines
the tower fire is too much like 911. made me sick to my stomach.
I agree with the comments above regarding the baby stealing, and sicko doctor,Ian Ward and Patty.If it was so hard for fireman to go up why is Ian an Patty still alive? I have been watching forever (I am 81) and sick of new actors. If they are good and draw an audience, then pay them to stay.Forget about getting someone new who won,t be liked because they will work for less. If you ever get rid of Victor, you might as well cancel the show!
Adam situation we all hope he doesn’t go to prison with the real killer of Delilah. I agree the other storyline are so far fetched. Cain we know is innocent and Cain shouldn’t forgive Lilly she had way to many chances
It seems when you run out of stories you go back to previous story that was on yrs ago and duplicate the story with different cast. If you are wanting Y/R to go down the tubes you writers are doing a good job. NEED NEW WRITERS. Adam/Gabe. Jack/Marco Really this is desperation in story writing. You guys suck same old thing.
The minute Phelps showed up, I knew Y&R was headed downhill. Then she started firing people right and left, like Genie Francis & Stephen Nichols. She brought in her FOJ’s in mass and then Michelle Stafford left. She then ran off Billy Miller & Michael Muhney after firing head writer Josh Griffith. The show continued to slide in the ratings and she fired those writers and call Chuckie Pratt. Now it’s disasters and ridiculous stories that are like a cartoon show. I guess Ian Ward has a get out of jail pass. So stupid. No thanks.
Love Y&R, watched since 1973. Love the characters but I hate the way things are going now with the baby snatching story AGAIN involving Sharon. This is getting monotonous and the storyline with Hilary, Neil, Devon, etc. has gone on more than long enough. Just get on with their lives, it is boring. To cancel this soap would be a mistake it is the greatest one ever, just get some great writers in there to get some great storylines back on the show!
