It’s Christmas in November for Y&R followers. New head writers Jamey Giddens & Dan O’Connor FINALLY take over on Wednesday, 11/11. Giddens comes over from Past the Gates, & O’Connor brings Common Hospital & One Life to Dwell. They’ve already promised a vacation season filled with miracles, romance, suspense & intrigue.
That’s nice & all, however simply in case, right here’s my Y&R Christmas Record…

One thing to Unwrap
🎁 A correct storyline for Lauren. Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) is a Genoa Metropolis icon, not a sounding board for whoever wants recommendation that week. She’s been on this present for many years. Give her a narrative with actual stakes. Ideally not dishonest on Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc). Maybe we begin by seeing somebody store inside Fenmore’s once more.
🎁 The boardroom, again below the tree. Keep in mind when Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) ran a gathering like a struggle room & everyone on the desk was scheming? Boardroom showdowns at Newman Enterprises & Jabot had been half the enjoyable of Younger & the Stressed. Deliver again the lengthy tables, Newman-Abbott marital crossovers, & scheming for votes.
Dwelling for the Holidays
🎁 Tucker McCall, performed by Trevor St. John. Tucker McCall (Trevor St. John) has been gone since 2024. Younger & the Stressed followers throughout social media are DEMANDING this man returns. His humor, his one-liners, his spot-on impressions of Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Y&R followers need all of that again & extra PRONTO.
🎁 Tara Locke, performed by Elizabeth Leiner. Tara Locke (Elizabeth Leiner) went to jail for embezzlement & by no means got here again. These new writers higher not even begin with Tara nonetheless being in jail. There are a handful of Genoa Metropolis residents who’ve killed a handful of individuals & they aren’t in jail. Don’t even inform me that Tara Locke is actually nonetheless in jail. It’s time for her to return to Genoa Metropolis for her son, Harrison. Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) has principally forgotten about him anyway.
Who’s Lacking From the Christmas Card?
🎁 Reed. Reed Hellstrom, Victoria Newman‘s (Amelia Heinle) son with JT, went “upstairs” & by no means got here again down. She has loads of time for Kyle. She will be able to discover time to no less than acknowledge her son.
🎁 Sam. Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) has been again in Genoa Metropolis for over a yr & hasn’t mentioned a phrase in regards to the son Juliet died giving delivery to. Certain, Billy Flynn is a good actor, however he’s not freaking Cane Ashby. The brand new writers have to make this recast make sense.
🎁 Christian. Christian Newman hasn’t been on display screen since 2020. He’s Sage’s son & Adam Newman‘s (Mark Grossman) organic son, raised by Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow). Critically, it’s time to kill off Christian to finish this insanity, or for Adam Newman to struggle for custody due to Nick Newman’s lack of parenting.

Christmas Miracles: The Un-Kill Record
Giddens promised miracles. Right here’s the place to begin.
🎁 Ashland Locke, performed by Richard Burgi. Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi) was the unique & one of the best Ashland, no disrespect to Robert Newman, simply fact. His physique vanished from Victoria’s lounge, then supposedly turned up in a ravine, courtesy of Victor‘s cleanup crew. Who is aware of if that was actually him. Ashland’s physique was by no means claimed by Tara or anybody else. There wasn’t a service. He could be SO straightforward to un-kill on Y&R.
🎁 Likelihood Chancellor. Shot useless in France with barely a goodbye. The final Chancellor deserved higher. Conner Floyd is on Days now, so this one wants a recast or a real Christmas miracle. He doesn’t want to remain on Days perpetually, proper?
🎁 Sage Newman, performed by Kelly Sullivan. Sage (Kelly Sullivan) died proper after discovering out Sully was actually her son & for what? Christian deserves to know his mother.
🎁 Heather Stevens, performed by Vail Bloom. Heather (Vail Bloom) is Lucy’s mother & Paul Williams‘ (Doug Davidson) daughter, with a lot potential on the present. Throughout social media, Y&R followers miss Paul SO a lot. Any tie to him will probably be welcomed again by followers immensely. Additionally, Genoa Metropolis wants one other lawyer moreover Michael Baldwin.
Ho, Ho, Ho, & Merry Christmas to Y&R Followers: FINALLY!!
Ship half this listing & followers of Younger & the Stressed will probably be very comfortable. Ship all of it & it’ll really feel like Christmas got here early.
What’s on YOUR Christmas want listing for the brand new writers? It’s not my first day watching Y&R & it isn’t yours both. What’s your take?
