Y&R – My thoughts on the New Year’s Day episode- Did they start 2015 off right?

Let me start off by saying Y&R was the only soap that was televised on New Year’s Day.  I am not sure why they did that but it was pretty cool.  I wonder what their numbers ended up being for the day. Gloria said to Michael:  Michael do you have cancer?  He changed the subject by saying, who said anything about cancer. 
I just watched the New Year’s Day episode of Y & R and I found it quite touching.  The scenes with Collin and the grandkids were cute with the New Year’s Revolution.   

For whatever reason, Michael, Lauren and Kevin are keeping Michael’s cancer under wraps.  I don’t know why they are doing this.  It takes away to much energy keeping the secret that could be used in battling this cancer. 

The sledding at the Newman’s episode was cute and even though they sledded off camera, the lines were good.  It did bother me how Victor spoke to Dylan, especially since he is the one trying to take away his livelihood but Victor has never been a nice guy. 

Cane finally came clean about wanting to be back in the corporate world.  I hope he teams up with Jill to take Chancellor away from Victor. 

How dumb is Nikki to not know something is up with Victor?  How dumb is Victor to not know something is up with Nikki? 

There were 2 very touching moments on this episode.  One was Victor reading Treasure Island to read, oh and by the way, the kid knows Ben spent the night with Mommy.

The other touching moment was the moment when Gloria asked Michael if he had cancer.  The look on her face of pure fear said it all and that is why I decided to feature that photo in this piece. 

Neal is seeing more often and clearer everyday.  He is going to snag Hillary & Devon.  

Do you think Michael has the right to keep this secret from his mother? All in all I think it was a good episode and a start in the right direction for Y&R for 2015.

  1. My husband watches Y&R with me every day - yes, I'm blessed... LOL!!! We're getting very tired of the dragging out of Michael's cancer story-line. I mean - come on!!! At the rate it's going, he'll be dead and buried before Gloria knows! I do want to comment on the writers - they're not the best Y&R has had. They really need to step it up!!!
