Y&R: 6 Random Thoughts for October 2014

Here is my semi-regular random thoughts post on "The Young and the Restless". They are just my opinions as of today, so they are subject to change and spoilers may be mentioned.

1. Are we supposed to be rooting for Chelsea and Billy or Stitch and Victoria? I have mixed feelings about all of that especially since Adam with a "new face" as the character has been recast.
2. Avery's ex-husband Joe has now appeared in Genoa City. When all the ladies were noticing him, I was absolutely confused by why they thought he was so hot. He seemed somewhat sleazy to me, which is extremely unattractive. 
3. What's wrong with Michael? No one knows beyond him using a little pill to allow him and Lauren to enjoy some happy time. With the writing swap, his diagnosis is even more uncertain.
4. Has the Devon and Hilary story hit a curve? Having them sleeping together and nothing happened, was rather frustrating. Again please no pregnancy or making Neil, the victim or the villain keeping his wife away from his son.
5. I like the new friendship between Kevin and Mariah as it gives her someone to talk to that isn't a relative. Kevin needs someone to spend time with outside of the station too.
6. I'm glad it was Phyllis that stopped Sharon and Nick's wedding ceremony instead of Victor. That said, how long is the marriage license valid? 

So that's my list of 6 random thoughts for Y&R this October.
