There are people who think that the 180 degree turn where Victor and Sharon were concerned is the result of MAB figuring out that she was going to be walking the gangplank soon and she wanted one final jab to get even. No matter how lousy people thought MAB was, however, within six weeks, most will be wishing her back. Many of the people now watching Y&R are refugees who could no longer stomach what JFP and her minions were doing to GH.
I thought I would also point out that the write-up on JFP at Wikipedia has been drastically changed since the first time that I checked it out - so someone - probably someone high-up in the chain of command - appears to be re-writing the history of JFP's reign of terror - and editing OUT news about some of her worst decisions - as we speak.
Sincerely, Irene
