The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

Great story LaneAlways!

I think Mac would be a good surrogate, but I think if Colleen hadn't died, I think she would have been the perfect surrogate.

Charme with these writers when it comes to lane I will not put any faith in their writing again. Remember Cane rewrite and all the other stuffs,sorry I will watch where this goes and see. This is going to be the 2nd baby s/l they have lane in,what about something new and different for them for a change.

Good evening Lily and Cane! I know that Lils has expressed interest in having a child right now, but I want more development for this marriage and their lifestyle. LANE has jumped from one event to the next event without explanaions, solid writing, conclusions or very much satisfaction for LANE fans from any of them; I call them events because storylines would have been more continuous in logic, scripts and dialogue. Not one event has been handled properly for them since August, 2008 to date--not even this cancer storyline. Every event that has been dumped upon them has big holes in the logic and lapses in sightings so we are always trying to guess what is going to happen next, or what happened (when Aunt Liv visited Lily), or the outcome of some action. The writers are just not trustworthy with any storyline concerning LANE.

I, like partyvibe, would like to know more about Cane's past before we go any further. I do not want anymore surprises on that front. I want this guy to get his edge back, settle in a career, and keep the homefires burning bright. I want Lily to get well or go into remission, get stronger physically & mentally, finish college, pursue a career, and keep those homefires buring bright!

I enjoyed this week of LANE, but it was wishy washy--two days of domestic bliss contrasted with two days of upheaval with Lily in crises. What kind of writing is that? What kind of life is that to bring a child into? Is Lils strong enough to handle the day to day challenges of an infant, toddler, young child? I would have really enjoyed seeing them have at least a week of wedded bliss before having a crises. We have never seen them together on screen five days in a row without some kind of catastrophy overshadowing the love, romance, and tenderness that we love about them.

A surrogate is going to bring more angst and more problems; I can feel them coming. And if the surrogate is Mac, Billy Abbot will be crazy as a bug-a-bear--Thus creating tension between him and Cane. If Lily is involved, Cane is not backing off this time. TPTB liked the rivalry between these two but that brotherly love is dead. The PC3 rewrite killed it just as it killed all the other decent relationships in GC. Even Cane & Jill's relationship will never be the same. The Bane brothers rivalry and confrontations won't be the same the second time around. Once killed, it won't return as strong as the first. This battle could get really ugly--no holds barred this time!!

I am at a point where it does not matter what the viewers want, the writers are going to jump right on to the next event anyway. They have probably already concocted the mess right now. Whatever is coming, I say bring it on. We might as well get it over and done. I want those two eggs to be fertilized and to make a difference in LANE's lives. I do not want them wasted on someone who might not get pregnant nor be able to carry this baby to full term. This is actually the third storyline for LANE involving a baby. The first time, the baby disappeared and she was not pregnant. The second time, Lily found cancer instead of a baby. Now the two eggs are waiting to produced two children. At least that is my hope. DO NOT WASTE THE EGGS or the opportunity. I think that it is too soon b/c I want to see other things happen first but I can deal either way. I often feel that the writers have made a mess of a beautiful romantic story anyway, so what differnece does one more disastrous blunder make??? I keep hoping, but they ain't got it right yet! I can't even accept the OLD STANDBY excuse anymore: BUT IT'S JUST A SOAP!!

Partyvibe, We may be in the minority but a I want a crazy surrogate storyline. I have been watching the surrogate storyline on B&B and you can already tell it is going to be good. Bridget and Nick's Surrogate is crazy and lying to them about who she is. The anticipation of what's coming up next because you know she won't give that baby back to them at the end of nine months is must see TV. With Mac having this baby for Lane i honestly don't know what to expect. I really think she has some issues. She already has said she has baby fever even before she offered to have the baby for them. And the look Lily gave Mac when she offered to carry baby Ashby was like why are you jumping on board so quickly I am not sure about you yet. I don't know why when it comes to story lines for Lane Y&R is so dang secretive. Over at B&B the storyline has practically been laid out for all to see. i for once would like just to see a straightforward storyline instead of the hidden agenda Y&R always has. Remember how shocked we all were about Cane's reveal. It took me weeks to get over the fact he was suppose to know all along that DD wasn't his and that he had hurt Lily so badly for so long. I have forgiven and moved own but that rewrite was some ish.

I agree with you, Anny, about the PC3 rewrite. It not only killed Lily and Cane's relationship. That thing did untold damage to all the relationships in GC. Now nobody interacts with anybody effectively anymore. Have you also noticed that Nina's fangs & interactions w/ Delia's mom have been aborted? Why is that? She went full blast after Cane! Protectionism? Favoritism?? You called that one about the rewrite white-washing Delia's mom's sins. I did not see a possibility at the time, but these writers tried even though you could drive a MAC truck thru the holes in the logic. The way it was explained was unbelievable, so I found it hard to accept. Where would a man keep that many vials of blood? How did he get it into the country w/o detection??? So many questions w/o answers. MAB should be ashamed of herself for allowing such junk to be written. I could do that in my sleepy time. It hurt me more than it hurt Lily when Cane admitted that. As far as the new baby storyline, I will just roll with the punches. Whatever comes is what it is.

I have always had my issues with Mac as a surrogate anyway. She has already been pregnant and lost a baby. Who says she can get pregnant and carry a baby to full term? Do we know that for sure?? She might be safe in one way but a little crazy and mixed up in another way. Mac wants something of her own? Someone else's baby as her own--maybe?? We do not know what to expect from Mac either. Maybe the pregnancey will bring out the crazy in her. Now that would be funny. AND you are right about the hush-hush nature of all of LANE's storylines. Why is that??? I get more in-depth info about LANE from Ms. Ruth's spoilers than from anybody else's.

By the way, Anny, I think you called another one that is headed out way and I do not like it one bit. I will have to tell you about it soon.

Cane and Lily have gotten back to really good place in their relationship and this makes me extremely happy I want to see a continuation of this and I really want to see how Lily face and conquer her cancer from this point on. I know whatever obstacles Lane faces it will be the two of them together and this makes me ecstatic

They are writing for sweeps so that is why you are seeing Chance there at the same time Lily is. I am so cynical when it comes to these writers I don't trust anything. After they messed with Cane's character and made him into a supposed liar for 2 years. I wouldn't put anything past them. They did this to Cane just so they could take his family away from him and give it to PC3. He hasn't worked out and will probably go back to Oz soon. I think everyone is there for Lily only because they wanted to make sure that the family would be in one place when he was brought in. I honestly think if Chance wasn't admitted to the hospital they would not have had the Chancellors there in force. They wouldn't have wasted all that attention from family just for Lily. I have become very cynical, sorry. This is all about plot point. No character building here. If so Lily and Cane's family would have been there to support them way before her crisis.

As far as Nina and Chance being there for Lily. It seems to be a natural thing to me. Nina really likes Lily. Remember when Cane had the blood drawn, Nina seemed genuinely concerned about Lily's welfare when it came to Cane. Also Nina,Neal,Ryan and Dru were very close friends at one time. So Nina was there for Lily. If Cane was the one hurt and she was there then I would have been suspicious. PC3 is Cane's friend so I understand his support.

I think that we are all focusing too much on what ifs and maybes. Like other Lane fans I know we have be burned, and I'm always cautious about the new twist or turn around, but we don't know the direction that Lane's story is going in. I know I'm always the oddball and the one who wants to see the glass half full. But I personally choose to reserve judgement about what's going to occur with Lane. I created a thread asking the question about Dr. Emily and Lane. I wonder if she will factor into their story and be Lily's therapist. Obviously for me, Lily and Cane need further healing and guidance that therapy can offer. I would like to see that aspect explored and see where it may tie into the surrogacy debate. My whole point is we as viewers never know what might happen. So Lane baby now or later, I'm good with it, and whatever happens I'm just hoping for good material for my favorite couple and actors.
