I have been watching Y&R since the 70's, I call it my extended family because I have become so involved with it. The cast is fantastic especially the role that Katherine Chancellor is playing now as Marg. I even hate to go away on vacation for fear of missing this great soap opera. I am so happy that Victor is back to everyone's surprise at the funeral home and sitting next to Ashley who I have always adored. Please keep this fabulous soap forever on TV at least until I leave this world which I don't expect to do that for many years to come. We have always felt that Sharon belongs to Nick, so hope that one goes forward. It was great seeing Neena again and Brock after so many years.
I was so worried that you were going to make it the death of Kay, but thank goodness it was Marg, poor girl. Kay, you had Marg's accent down pat, good for you. What a surprise for everyone when you come back, but I have a feeling you are going to pretend that you are Marg for awhile to find out more about your family. Jill is in for a rude awakening. Thanks guys, keep them thinking. Joan
