[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 370878, member: 19949"] As the 50th anniversary season wraps up, here's a snippet of the big spring interview with Josh Griffith, in which he announced what fans could look forward to: "We’d been kind of treating the 50th as the whole season ... The support from the production team and the support from the network has been just unprecedented ... I’m feeling excited and really energized. I feel I’ve gotten all of the pieces in place for an explosion of story going into the summer and then into the fall. I think we’re really in a strong place with the cast and with the character dynamics ... I hope that we’re using the 50th in a way to get back to the core of what makes Y&R work. My hope is that it completely embraces Bell's vision of these core families with story driven by characters, by relationships, by family and by business.

Not for me. Season 50 wasn't what it should have been. Although some familiar faces returned for a few episodes, they didn't give the show any real impetus. It's true that there were business clashes, but now there are so many companies on the show that it no longer matters who works where, because next month at least two characters will be working somewhere else again.
