Young and the Restless is really getting on my nerves

Typically, the main point of contention for most soap fans is that newbies receive frontburner treatment to the detriment of longtimers. For the most part, I agree that the writers and TPTB ditch the veterans way too quickly in favor of some green 'actor' (read: pretty, youthful face). However, I wish that the veterans would sit their @$$es down, specifically the 30-40-something basketcases like Sharon and Ashley.

Look, I know that Colleen was a recast and a newbie, but interrupting the Abbotts as they grapple with Colleen's death and the possibility of organ donation for more hand-wringing and whining from grown-@$$ed, pampered women is just too much to take. And Nick and Victoria's heart to heart about Victor, which resulted in, essentially, shrugging their shoulders at his boorish, manipulative behavior, since they can't do anything about it...

Can't do anything about it? Really?

Or do they mean 'can't do anything about it because it would impact their inheritance'? Because for broke people, like myself, something can be done about a dysfunctional, bullying parent, namely cutting all ties to said parent. And given that Nick and Victoria have children, severing their ties with Victor could impact his attitude and behavior. But, no... there are other things to be considered like their inheritances and jobs and $h*t...

And Nikki... this broad has some fcuking balls! Barely visited the Abbotts when they were hanging on to hope, and yet, here she comes to ask for Colleen's heart for Victor. Seriously, the looks that she and Victoria exchanged when Abby (fcuking bigmouth!) dropped the dime on Colleen's condition, it was like watching Dr. Fronkenstein and Igor licking their chops. Naturally, Nikki and Victoria have better hair, but it was pretty damn ghoulish and typical. Typical tunnel-vision Newman selfishness.

Naturally, Nikki and the Newmans will get what they 'need', because Tracy is really, really nice. But the Newmans don't deserve this miracle and will promptly suppress this gift when the novelty wears off.

I seriously hate this storyline.
