Is Tammin Sursok Leaving the Y&R? Rumors Indicate that Colleen Carlton May Exit the Show in Fall 2009

Numerous sources have recently reported that Tammin Sursok, who currently portrays Colleen Carlton, will be leaving CBS’s The Young and the Restless this fall. Though she’s barely been on screen in 2009, Colleen is nonetheless a core character, being a member of the popular Abbott family. As such, the possibility of her exit has caused quite a controversy among fans who have been disappointed with the character’s recent treatment and lack of storyline.

Character History of Colleen Carlton

Colleen Carlton is the daughter of Traci Abbott Connolly and Brad Carlton. She lived with her mother in New York until she was sent to live with her family in Genoa City after being expelled from school due to drug use. Colleen met and began a relationship with JT Hellstrom, much to her family’s disapproval.

Colleen’s family, including her often-overprotective father, eventually came to accept her relationship with JT after he saved her from a fire. Shortly afterwards, Colleen returned to New York when she felt she was holding JT back from a successful music career.

In 2006, JT and Colleen reconciled after JT broke up with his new girlfriend. Their relationship was once again short-lived, this time because Colleen left JT for her college art professor Adrian Korbel. Colleen also learned that her father’s real name was George Kaplan and that he and her grandmother were living under assumed names while in hiding from art thieves connected to the Nazis. It was Adrian who helped the Kaplans solve the mystery of the Grudgeon Reliquary, the stolen artefact that led to the murder of much of Colleen’s family.

Colleen was then kidnapped after leaving Adrian’s apartment and though it initially seemed that Adrian himself was responsible, it turned out that Jana Hawkes wanted the Reliquary for herself and had captured Colleen in order to find its location. Jana set the building on fire and framed Kevin Fisher, the same man who previously tried to burn Colleen alive. Colleen barely survived and eventually awoke to name Jana as her assailant and clear Kevin of the charges. The two then worked together to entrap Jana and bring her to justice.

Adrian then decided to publish the Kaplan’s story in his new book, which Colleen initially approved. The two broke up when Colleen changed her mind and stopped the book from being published. Colleen then began a brief relationship with her best friend’s ex-husband Daniel Romalotti.

Legacy of Colleen Carlton

Colleen Carlton is best known for her popular pairing with “bad boy” JT Hellstrom, which reached supercouple status in 2003. They were voted the fourth most romantic couple of 2003 in Soap Opera Update and in 2008, were part of Soaps In Depth’s 100 greatest soap couples. Although Colleen’s relationship with Adrian Korbel eventually developed a strong fan base, it never reached the level of notoriety and popularity that JT and Colleen still have today.

Colleen Carlton’s Rumored Exit

Ever since Sursok took over the role of Colleen Carlton in July 2007, the character has never been on the front burner. A source told Daytime Confidential in July 2009 that Sursok has “been really busy with a lot of other projects, so it's been hard for the soap to write her in.” Sursok was off-screen throughout July in order to film Flicka 2 and she will also be appearing in Spectacular 2: The Dream Continues.

Due to her constant unavailability, Sursok is rumoured to have been let go from the show and the role of Colleen will not be recast.

What will happen to Colleen Carlton?

It is rumored that Colleen Carlton will exit the Y&R in a dramatic way. Soap Opera Digest reports that a character from a family that is still grieving its last loss will be killed off soon. Since Colleen’s father died in February 2009 after falling into an icy lake, Colleen certainly fits as the character being killed off.

Furthermore, Soap Opera Weekly reports that during the week of September 7, 2009, “Colleen is in trouble.” What kind of trouble has yet to be confirmed; however, rumors have recently circulated around soap opera fan sites that Colleen may be kidnapped by the deranged Mary Jane Benson. Daytime Royalty has a different story: they reported that Colleen will drown.

Is Colleen Carlton Needed in Genoa City?

After the death of her father in early 2009, Colleen took over her father’s seat on the Newman Board of Directors as part of a storyline that was expected to catapult her to the forefront. The promise of this story quickly faded, however, when Colleen vanished from the screen for a month supposedly to visit her ill grandmother in Italy. When she finally returned to Genoa City, it seemed the storyline had been all but dropped. Then, Victor set up Colleen to be videotaped while drunk at a bar and he used the footage to have her thrown off the board. The story was wrapped up before it even had a chance to really develop.

After Colleen’s exit from the board, her ex-boyfriend JT Hellstrom (now married to Victor’s daughter Victoria) accused Victor of setting her up. This has put a strain on JT’s marriage to Victoria and Colleen has admitted to Victoria that she wants JT back. Now, Colleen’s best friend has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Thus, Colleen could potentially be involved in two upcoming storylines if the writers pursued a triangle with her and Victoria fighting for JT, as well as kept her involved in Lily’s cancer storyline. Clearly, there is still potential for Colleen to be developed as a character. Whether the writers are willing to either recast Sursok or temporarily write her out of the story in order to keep Colleen around appears to be another story, however...

What are your thoughts on the possibility of Colleen’s exit? Is the character needed in Genoa City? Should Colleen be killed or written out?

They better not kill Colleen off! I am sick of them killing characters for no reason: Brad, Sabrina, Zapato just horrible writing. If Tammin leaves who can blame her, just like the actor that played Adam. Let characters go out of town or something, but kill them? Really Y&R? No wonder you weren't nominated for a ton of Emmy's.

Aug 31, 2009 2:49 PM

Guest :

Don't kill off another core character. There are plenty of other much newer GC residents that could and should leave before Colleen does. Stop killing off the Abbots.

Aug 31, 2009 6:40 PM

Guest :

I think the writers are doing a disservice to the show. I hope they just write her out because when they fire these writers like they should. The next ones will have to figure out a way to bring her back from the dead. Like she was in witness protection b/c some of the people who had been chasing her Dad are now after her. blah blah. Quit killing off the Abbotts they are a core family and Jack can't live forever.

Sep 4, 2009 1:35 PM

Guest :

Erase the whole Carlton family, and kill another Abott is the stupidest move the show has ever made! How can they kill Tracy's only child. It is cruel and unnecessary.

Sep 6, 2009 6:08 AM

Guest :

I hope she's not leaving the show!!!!!!!! I'm an Abbott more than a Newman fan and I like Coleen's role and Tammin playing it.

Sep 7, 2009 8:07 PM

Guest :

If Colleen is killed off the show, I'm done with Y&R. I'm still waiting on my Jolleen reunion.

Sep 14, 2009 11:37 AM

Guest :

Stop killing off the characters. You are killing the show!

Sep 15, 2009 5:53 AM

Guest :

The character has been dead for awhile now so it really doesn't matter to me if she lives or dies as long as Tammin Sursok is off of my screen for good!

Sep 15, 2009 9:18 AM

Guest :

Honestly, the writers for Y&R are doing a crappy job of trying to hold on to their viewers. I am 95% certain after reading a bunch of spoilers that Colleen has gotten the axe & will be killed off the show. That as mentioned by a lot of other ppl, is the stupidest move. What was the point of starting the JT + Colleen storyline if they had the intentions of cutting her out?! And what about what Lily will have to go through losing her bff? I agree with the person that said no wonder they weren't nominated for a ton of Emmy's!!!

Sep 15, 2009 6:40 PM

Guest :

Many of us watch in great anticipation for the death of Colleen Carlton, with the hope that the soap spoilers are wrong. I agree, what on earth are the writers thinking??? There was a lot of viewer resentment when the role of Colleen was given to Tammin Sursok, but is this the way the writers get even with the viewing audience for disapproving of their role change? Just eliminate the character of Colleen completely? Of course there remains other spoilers stating that the Ms. Sursok will return later in the year, but please no more spirit visits.

Sep 16, 2009 9:01 AM

Guest :

so since your taking colleen away from Lilly.. will you finally bring drucilla back to help Lilly out. since ever since drucillas "death" you constantly rumor her return in soap digests etc?

Sep 16, 2009 11:27 AM

Guest :

The writing on this show has really gone down hill. There should be a balance but it feels like there is no happiness in any of the characters.

Sep 16, 2009 12:00 PM

Guest :

This is ridiculous, killing off Colleen makes no sense. She is a good actress, if you'll give her the story lines and the JT and Victoria triangle story line would be great. Try to stop focusing in on the Newman's so much and get back to the Abbott family. And I really have to say this...PLEASE bring back Drucilla Winters (Victoria Rowell)she really plays her character so well!!

Sep 16, 2009 1:42 PM

Guest :

I really like Tammin Sursok playing the role of Colleen. Every time they make a switch on actors/actresses it is hard to get adjusted but she in my opinion just fell into the role perfectly. I hope they do not kill her off this week. On another hand I am still not digging the new Adam character. He needs to hurry up and get busted and put away or something!

Sep 16, 2009 2:13 PM

Guest :

I'd really hate to see Colleen written off, but I have to admit that I'm not a fan of Tammin Sursok. I REALLY liked Adrienne Leon in the part and would LOVE to see her recast as Colleen. Please bring Adrienne Leon back to Genoa City!!

Sep 16, 2009 2:23 PM

Guest :

I don't care for this Colleen but if you have to get rid of her, then find a replacement.

Sep 16, 2009 2:57 PM

Guest :

I like Tammin Sursok as Colleen, Adrianne Leon was not Colleen for me, a horrible recast IMO. Tammin has made me like Colleen. She is a fabulous actress.

Sep 16, 2009 2:58 PM

Guest :

I care for this Colleen, Tammin is great.

Sep 16, 2009 2:59 PM

Guest :

I care for this Colleen, Tammin is great.

Sep 16, 2009 3:00 PM

I care for this Colleen, Tammin is great.

Sep 16, 2009 3:08 PM

Guest :

Why does Colleen need to be killed? Where's the head writer for this soap? Come on writers...get creative and let the girl get a real juicy
story line okay!! She's a needed character on a lot of story lines!!

Sep 16, 2009 3:34 PM

Guest :

I sincerely hope Colleen is not written off. If the writers really need a break from her then let her get swept down stream or land in a coma but don't get rid of her...

Sep 16, 2009 3:48 PM

Guest :

GEEZ, another one bites the dust!!! Y&R USED to be a great soap opera years ago. Now it's one of the worst. If they do kill off Colleen, they are making a big mistake. I, personally, love the character and Tammin who portrays her. I am 60 years old and have been watching Y&R since my 20's. However, lately I watch it seldom because it has been so boring. Maybe it will go like The Guiding Light?!?!?

Sep 16, 2009 4:24 PM

Guest :

It's ridiculous if the character of Coleen is killed off. That's so stupid! Brad just died so why would you make his daughter as well... The writers of Y and R are really pissing me off now!

Sep 16, 2009 9:16 PM

Guest :

Another death? These writers are practically killing everyone off.....I wonder who's next. First Brad, now Colleen could be next.....I'm still upset that they killed off Brad's character. Y&R is not the same. I agree there are other characters that are much newer to the show than Colleen. I still think they should have kept Brad's character. His one of the reasons why others are fans of the show.

Sep 16, 2009 11:28 PM

Guest :

I sure hope they don't kill off the character of CC!! Bringing in so many newbies that are not as developed and getting rid of characters with deep ties in GC is really irritating me. I loved CC and JT. I loved her telling off Victoria and telling her she DID want her husband. I thought that added great tension. I also feel TS talent was underused, although I really really liked LF as CC. I KNOW Y&R dropped the ball BIG TIME on Colleen and the Newman boardseat. I was soooo looking forward to some vindication for her father and her family! It's sad to see new boring or old, used-out s/l's when they had a s/l and just wasted it!

Sep 17, 2009 6:44 AM

Guest :

Please kill her off or write her off already. I am glad that she is going. Hey they say that every death, there is a birth. Bye bye Colleen! Welcome back Drucilla and Malcom (at least someone else will be playing the role of Malcom) But please don't bring Colleen back. I hate her, I hated her dad, I hate Jack. Get rid of them all. Hahaha (evil laugh)

Sep 17, 2009 8:12 AM

Guest :

Maybe it wasn't the show that wanted her off, maybe she was just too busy and decided that the Big Screen is a better place for her instead of Y&R. I will miss her though.

Sep 17, 2009 8:38 AM

Guest :

Please Dont Kill Colleen off it just isnt right [A viewer of many years]

Sep 17, 2009 10:33 AM

Guest :

It makes me so sick at times when I spend my morning hour just to kick back and watch the Y&R. Now all of a sudden I am seeing alot of crapp. Why on earth would the writers want to kill off Coleen. i watch the show today and all the drama about her friends and family coming in her vision to contribute indirectly to he life lived. What utter crapp. Could they stop with the ghost stories and visions. If they want to kill off an actress i will gladly offer up Ashley's daughter. She is a petty spoil rich kid.

Sep 17, 2009 10:44 AM

Guest :

I don't think they should kill off colleen. I will be so upset if they do it will tear apaart the family and lily won't have her rock to help her through this battle. I think JT needs her too. After all with the rate Victoria is goin JT will be a free man soon and Colleen will be the perfect person to occupy his time.Besides I like her and the way she gives Victor a hard time I have began to hate victor.Please don't kill Colleen!

keep the Colleen role, please recast it. if you must get rid of someone, get rid of the winters family. they're so boring.

Sep 17, 2009 11:43 AM

Guest :

i don't know where Y&R gets its writers and producers and the other powers that be. The only good thing they've done in the last year was get rid of Nikki,(that was long overdue. Apparently they don't care how the viewers feel, they seem to get rid of any of the good actors whom could being doing great story lines, while they keep losers like Gloria and Jeff. Sharon also is getting hard to watch.

Sep 17, 2009 12:33 PM

Guest :

I think they could have her be in a specialty hospital in New York recovering from the trauma of near drowning, that way the Colleen character can still be alive, even if the 4th actress playing her is gone... When they recast her down the road, they can bring her back, fully recovered. No more killing, please... No more dead Abbotts please...

Sep 17, 2009 1:19 PM

Guest :

I really donot like the new writers are writing this show that used to be fantastic. The new writers are turning it into Days of our lives with the crazy storylines. Bring back the old writers, they were classic!

Sep 17, 2009 1:36 PM

Guest :

I could care less if they kill her off though it will be sad for the Abbott family. I really liked Colleen when she was portrayed by Lyndsy Fonseca, since then Colleen has become malicious and has a total lack of morals. I do hear they are bringing Drucilla back to the show which would be awesome.

Sep 17, 2009 3:32 PM

Guest :

Maybe Tammin Sursok doesn't have the time for Y&R anymore, in that case, you should re-cast. If you kill off Colleen, who will be left to remember Brad? Abby isn't his real daughter and she seems to already have forgotten her "father" anyway. If you want to make an impact on the show, get rid of her. She's a spoiled brat. But you can't just erase all traces of the Carlton's. I like Tammin playing Colleen. It took me a little while to really accept her as Colleen, and now that I have, you are going to kill her off? I hate this!!!!

Sep 17, 2009 5:01 PM

Guest :

i think placing JT in a love triangle with Colleen and Victoria would be much better story. Let Colleen live, and let JT realize how much he still loves her. there is a much better story there. you can always ween them out a bit and bring them back from time to time, but killer her off would ruin it. and it would honestly make me dislike this show. you need the young actors to bring in your young audience.

Sep 17, 2009 5:06 PM

Guest :

This is riddiculous!! They can't do this! I love Colleen and was eagarly awaiting her reunion with JT! And Lily's life is complete hell hole right now -- does she really need to lose her best friend on top of everything else?!
Tammin is great Colleen.. true, she's not as good as the ORIGINAL (but who could be, really?). Y&R better get their acts together if they want to keep their viewers. We don't want to watch yet another funeral!! Colleen is a core character of this soap opera and they must realize that!

Sep 17, 2009 5:06 PM

Sep 17, 2009 7:51 PM

Guest :

Tammin is GREAT!!!!!! She is an asset on y&r!!!!!!!

Sep 17, 2009 8:09 PM

Guest :

I truly hope the Y&R powers that be will re-cast, not kill off, this character... Grabbing Brad's hand underwater makes it look like she's going to die, but I hope the writers are smarter than that. I hope she will be rescued, be in a coma, go off to some specialty hospital in New York, where Traci can keep a watchful eye on her... That way, Tammin can leave as she seems to want to, but then later yet another new Colleen can return to Genoa City... The actress isn't important, but the character is, in this specific case... She should be allowed to get her seat on the board back, and support Lily's cancer storyline, and find romance somewhere (not JT)... No need to kill off the last Carlton, and yet another Abbott... It's lazy writing if they can't think of anything more to do, other than to kill off the Colleen character. Plus, I LOVE Traci!! And she usually comes out to visit mostly because of Colleen... Will she not come bsck now, if they kill Colleen? I don't want to lose Traci, too... PLEASE DO NOT KILL OFF THIS CHARACTER!!! Good luck to Tammin's pursuits, but bring back Colleen...

Sep 17, 2009 9:34 PM

Guest :

The show today was crazy no explanation of how Colleen ended up in the water and all her visits with everyone. I've been a fan of Y&R for 28 years now and think the writers are going crazy. Hopefully Brad coming to her and grabbing her hand will lead her to safety instead of heaven. We can only hope. They were just starting to have her shine as a character not being perfect and making moves on JT again Victoria doesn't deserve him the little daddy's girl she is.

Sep 17, 2009 10:14 PM

Guest :

I agree that Colleen is a character with lots of potential particularly with the love triangle between her Victoria and JT. Now that JT knows that Victoria cheated on him, there is potential for he and Colleen to reunite. The need to have couples that share a powerful love connection such as Victor and Nikki is diar. Those two are getting older. And as much as I love the classic Genoa City couple, JT and Colleen is a young couple I would watch love each other for a long time to come.

Sep 17, 2009 10:49 PM

Guest :

I am NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS, no no no no no noooooooo do not Kill her off that is just not right, it makes me want to not watch it.

Sep 18, 2009 3:12 AM

Guest :

I want Tammin to stay she and Lyndsy are the only two actresses that have chemistry with JT-Thad. This was missing when Adrianne took over. I want Jolleen to re-unite and again I want Tammin to stay she is a talented actress with so much diversity in her acting. Stay Tammin!

Sep 18, 2009 7:59 AM

Guest :

I haven't really ever cared for this actress in this role, but I agree with the others not to kill off the entire character. I disliked Leon, too, but started appreciating her more after this new one started.

I like the girl playing Abby as a spoiled, rich teenager. That's exactly how I would expect Ashley & Victor's teenage daughter to act, although the actress who plays the role needs to work on her techniques a little more. She has the whiny brattiness down pat but needs to work on real emotions like anger, crying, worry, etc. I still notice it's an actress instead of forgetting like most of the great acting on this show.

Can't tolerate the new Adam. I thought the other one was brilliant.

Please, please, please, if you do bring back Drucilla (like you keep pretending to) don't make her so angry and, "Oh, I'm gonnna go get that so-and-so!" yelling and shaking her head all of the time. It got old to watch and see Neil just sitting there trying to calm her down all of the time. I wasn't sad to see her fall over the cliff. She SOOO irritates me. I wouldn't mind seeing her back if she can tone it down.

I don’t like the fact that the writers want to kill off the Character of Colleen. I don’t really care who plays the role, but the Character needs to stay. I like her sauciness and the way she doesn’t hold back. Killing off Brad was one thing and a stupid move, why kill off another Character that can be developed into a main role? Just find another actress to play Colleen if the current one is busy pursing her acting career elsewhere. The writers are ruining the show! I’ve watched Y&R religiously for over 15 years now. I PVR it every day and watch it when I get home from work, if the writers start killing people off what will I end up watching every day….a really horrible show!

I am 51 years old and have been watching Y & R for a long time. I also don't understand why you have to get rid of Colleen. She is a good actress. She needs to stay & help Lilly through her battle/fight w/cancer. Why can't you get rid of Gloria (total loser), Jeffrey (loser), Phyllis (sick of her jealousy over Nick & Sharon), Amber or Ashley (sick of her being "crazy" and not knowing she's carrying "no" baby!! Stupid storyline. I agree with the majority of the comments, why keep killing off the Abbotts? Whenever charcters Jana, Kevin, Amber, Gloria, Jeffrey are on, I fast forward through it. Sick of all of them being in and out of jail, trying to solve crimes when it's not believeable. It seems as though Y & R keeps playing same story lines over and over again. If I had my choice, let GLORIA go first. She brings absolutely "nothing" to the show. She would not be missed at all.

Sep 18, 2009 10:48 AM

Guest :

I, too, don't want to see Colleen die. She is a wonderful actress and has the potential for a great storyline, especially with the strain between Victoria and J.T. That's what Y&R used to be about - love triangles, romance. Now there seems to be no real flow to the storylines and the boring stuff just keeps dragging on and on. Don't kill off Colleen. That would be dumb. But, then again, the writers don't really care what the fans think. They continue to ruin what was once a great soap.

I have been a fan of Y&R for a long long time so first I will start off by saying don't kill off Colleen's character, she is a great actress the storyline for Adam is awful he is supposed to be Victor Jr. who grew up on a farm in Kandas raised by a wonderful woman and went to Harvard not a crazy twisted sick person and I loved the actor who originally played Adam....please if anyone needs to be killed off or sent back to LA its Amber her character is sooooooo annoying her voice her acting I do like the Deacon character charming with a dark twist... and I hated the Chimpmunk storyline with Kevin how boring but I will keep watching I am a very devoted fan

Sep 18, 2009 5:50 PM

Guest :

What has happened to the writers at Y&R? Do they have groups of students coming in and out with the assignment to pick up where the last group left off and continue? Ashley was a brilliant chemist and businesswoman; now she has become a virtual vegetable unable to figure out she's no longer pregnant, unable to leave the house,"resting" constantly, etc? The Nick/Sharon saga has played out so many times no one cares anymore. The Philip/Cane storyline was so bizarre it could only be watched with TiVo to fastforward through the absurd drivel. Should they kill off Colleen? No. But since they can't write themselves out of a paper bag they will. I'm done with this trash.

Sep 18, 2009 7:09 PM

Guest :

Keep Tammin and the character. Eliminate Gloria (has been idiot), Jeffery (loser), Ashley (whiner), Victoria (insipid), Adam (irritating), Lily (insipid whiner), Victor (past his best before date), Abby (horrible actress), Mackenzie (wooden actress)

Beef up story lines for Jack, Chloe,Kevin, Michael, Cane, Eden, Rafe, JT, Jana and JIll

Sep 18, 2009 11:14 PM

Guest :

I agree with almost every poster here. I think that killing off Colleen is absolutely stupid. Recast, but do not kill her off. Perhaps the writers are under so much pressure to produce script in the short-term that they have forgotten the longterm implications of this action. If this soap survives in the longterm they're going to need core characters for the younger generation coming up. I agree, Jack can't live forever, so who's left of the Abbotts in the younger generation. I count Billy and Abby (who's half Newman).

Sep 20, 2009 9:06 PM

Guest :

So confused as to why she must die...I'm not a SUPER fan by any means of Ms. Sursok but sheez...it seems like Y&R can only make drama these days by killing people off...I totally don't get it. I HATE it actually...why do the writers feel that death is the way to go. It's beginning to jump shark...I think I'm gonna need a fall hiatus...I'll tune back in when Dec. rolls around maybe then Dru will be back..and this cancer crap will be over. They may stop killing people and when they bring in new people make them at least half decent instead of evil, manupulative, and ugly and oh yea lets not KILL them off....getting sick of the bs.....for real

Hell yeah Colleen is needed on the show. They need to keep her on so her and jt can hook back up!!

Young and the Restless is just really getting out of hand. No one is happy on the show anymore, everyone is cheating on their spouses, they won't leave sharon alone, poor phylis can't catch a break, the whole thing with mary jane is ridiculous, and why in the world is Adam getting away with all the mess he does...oh and not to mention mentally unstable ashley!!! Young and the restless used to be the best soap on television. now its becoming the worst!!!!!

Sep 21, 2009 10:17 AM

Guest :

I hate to see Colleen killed I felt she should leave and go back to New York to stay with her parents. I don't like the idea of she and JT getting back together. Victoria and JT need to work through their problems and not have another couple cheating on each others. Y&R is my all time best soap opera after it goes off each day I am finish looking at soaps. Please consider writing Collen off and have her go back to Tracy and hubby so they can take care of her.

Sep 21, 2009 10:55 AM

Guest :

Well if they don't let her go they will make her crazy like the rest of the women on the show. the Ashley, Sharon character are totally ruined by the writing. As if a bright and sucessfull women like Ashley would think she is pregrant when she is not. come on guys this use to be a show smart people enjoyed .

Sep 21, 2009 12:25 PM

Guest :

The writers of young and the restless are ridiculous! The show is going down big time! Why kill off important characters when there are new characters that shouldn't even be in the show such as ABBY (USELESS CHARACTER) or EDEN(ANOTHER USELESS CHARACTER). This show is going down the drain. The storyline is just messed up now.Look at Nick, sharon and phyllis, that story line is SO PATHETIC. Every character in the show is messed up now. And Colleen leaving the show is even more messed. It was said taht she is leaving because she's going to be filming an upcoming movie. If this is the case, why can't they just replace her or bring her back later? WHY KILL HER?!?! Getting so tired of this show!!!

Sep 21, 2009 7:01 PM

This Colleen was the best! So now the Y&R not only has crappy storylines, but they are getting rid of the good looking people. Which leaves the viewers with boring storylines and ugly actors. Really makes me want to keep watching the show. NOT! After 18 years of watching the Y&R I am thinking of switching to All My Children. They had the most nominations at the Emmy's. And thanks to PVR, I can catch it after work.

I bet Victor will need a heart transplant and will get Colleen's heart.

All things have to come to an end. Collen's time on the show is over, and so is my time of watching it. I would had thought they would had learned something after killing off Cassie, but no, there's a Y&R charactor graveyard a mile long. Death after death after death. Rather then sticking a fork in all these charactors. What they need to do is stick a fork in the show. Young & the Restless? more like Young & the Lifeless!!!!

Guest :

No, she should not leave the show. Her father just died by drowning so that doesn't mean she should. They need some new writers. The people who should be off the show like Gloria and her idiot husband and Adam should be taken off.

Sep 22, 2009 10:01 AM

Guest :

I think that Colleen is the nicest person on this show. People that should go should be Gloria, her idiot husband, and Adam who does evil things and never gets caught. How is it possible for him and his doctor friend to do such horrible things and never be noticed by anyone? It is going on for too long and starting to be boring. Everybody gets caught but Adam. We need some new stories! Also, I would suggest that, whoever writes the story, should do extensive reseach, especially medical, before putting some things into action. There are more aspects to false pregancy than it is portrayed in the show. Please, research before you write it down and play it!!! Get some experts to tell you the REAL things that happen in false pregnacy that would never go on for so long.

I can't believe the writers of this show would be so stupid as to kill off Colleen (Tammin Sursok). She is one of the few young people left on the show that seemed to have any sense. the rest of them ie Amber,Daniel,Kevin and their antics are getting sooo old and pointless. Then you decide to bring on Deacon who then sleeps with Victoria, and let Adam continue with his shenanigans while everyone turns a blind eye. This is getting rediculous and this may be my last episode. Bring Colleen back! Since Lily is dreaming she saw Colleen make her death a dream sequence too. It would be just rediculous enough to believe!

Sep 22, 2009 11:30 AM

Guest :

Why do you'll want to kill her? that's so wrong. I love her send her on a vacation or keep her in a comma for awhile. Don't kill her! Lily will probably get sicker and Colleen is her best friend that can see her thru cancer.

Everywhere we look it's economic crisis. It's no secret that TV soaps are not bringing in the same amount of sponsor bucks. I've been watching Y&R since its debut and it's obvious the storyline is suffering because the writers have to accommodate the pink-slip-budgetary-crisis. The bean counters at CBS are ruining our entertainment, just when we need the escapism the most.

Sep 22, 2009 2:11 PM

Guest :

Face it people. Colleen is gone. Only way she's comming back is play a "John Abbott" role after he died to Tracy, and Lilly. It's messed up how the writers wrote her to die from a mixture of how both John, and Brad died. All they seem to do is kill charactors off, so rename the show Young and the Lifeless already!

I think its time to let that homewrecker GO!!! If i was Victoria I would of told that BITCH colleen to PUMP HER BRAKES because i dont care what anyone on here says if it was vikki you would NOT be so freaking nice.. Because i know if that was me the writers are making vikki tooooo NICE . Man that JT is married and hes so sadddd OMG hes MARRIed how dare he act like he just lost his wife. Hes got a wife and a son. WTF why is cbs making him act like this.. ?? Let the bitch die off. im clapping my hands. LET HER GO.. thank you CBS thank you..CBS it i not too late to save Colleen. I dont want her with JT but she and Devonn would make a great couple! I agree, stop killing the actors. Guiding Light made the same mistakes and look where it got them. Y & R is the number one soap, but not for long if you dont listen to your viewers!!! Let her be a miracle! Leave JT and Victoria alone though. It is nice to see a real married couple actually getting to play it on TV too!!

you wanna kill somebodyh kill adam he gets on my damn nerves colleen doesnt deserve to die the way she is

Sep 22, 2009 8:18 PM

Guest :

I totally agree with almost every post here!! Why are they killing off Colleen?? Could they not come up with a more creative way to have her leave? I have been watching Y&R for almost 25 years and I can believe the direction the show has gone. Killing off characters one by one does not work. It does not draw viewers to the show, it does not keep viewers watching. Why don't the writers understand that!! I'm not a writer of any kind and even I can see they need new writers. Ashley and her false pregnancy, the Sharon, Nick and Phillis saga, Lilly and her cancer, and Victor in love with Nikki AGAIN (who couldn't see that one coming) COME ON PEOPLE. Y&R fans deserve better than this!!

Sep 23, 2009 5:52 AM

Guest :

I agree with all who say stop killing off characters, & bringing them back in dreams. What has happened to the great story lines of the past? Used to be Y&R was the best soap on tv, NOT anymore! So SICK of Victor always coming out ahead & the Abbotts never winning.

Sep 23, 2009 7:14 AM

Guest :

I would like to say something. I love Colleen's character. She bring's youth, love, kindness to this show. Even though she was scared, she wanted to help Paul's sister. How cruel can you writer's be. Place her in a coma for a little while. Why can't there be a "MIRACLE" on this dang show. It has gotten boring, stupid, nothing but old characters hanging around. Now wonder Y&R didn't get any or very few awards this year. I'm sure Tammin is at the place in her career just like the others were in theirs, but were they just killed off. NOOOOO. We have so much unhappiness in our own world right now, don't you think something that you couldn't imagine happen, happen? Let her live !!! I'm sorry for Ashley, but if you've had a child before, honey you would know if there was another one in there. I have never seen so many dumb $$$$ in my life on one show. SORRY had to let that out.

Sep 23, 2009 12:15 PM

Guest :

There is not one HAPPY person in the show right now. No good love stories or nothing. Only gloom, despair and misery. It's really kind of depressing to watch.

Sep 23, 2009 2:34 PM

Guest :

Altho I not sure of the character played by Tammin, Colleen should not be killed off. Who ever plays Collen is a key role player! & for that should not be killed off! There have been too many deaths on the show! I love Y & R & I doubt I will ever stop watching it, but somewhere the writers have to be more realistic, we can't keep losing key members of the soap!

Sep 23, 2009 3:33 PM

Guest :

Is this how we end shows? We just keep killing off characters?? I think Colleen is a terrific character, she's a great friend for Lily (who needs her right now), and I like Tammin Sursok. Why kill 2 in the same immediate family within months? I heard a rumor that all soaps may be ending soon due to lack of viewers, but you could at least end them on a happy note. Who else is on your "hit list" ?? The writing has gone way downhill since "THE" Mr. Bell died. As someone else said here about Adam. The first Adam was much better...... but you went and lost him because you just HAD to throw in just a couple days' worth of "gay" related scenes. Those very brief scenes weren't even worth losing a well-liked daytime actor over!! I want to know just how many decades will Jack & Victor get away with their sneaky, lying, conniving games that tell us they truly believe they are above all laws. Please hang on to Colleen, for our sake and for Lily's.

Sep 23, 2009 5:11 PM

Guest :

I say get rid of abby or amber if you have to get rid of someone. at least colleen's character fits in with the Y & R history. This amber/deacon thing has been dragging on and I would like to see Colleen get another shot with JT. Or a good friend for lilly since she is going through cancer. dont make her lose her best friend too.

Sep 23, 2009 7:03 PM

Guest :

I am getting so tired of watching a show where all the good characters are being killed off. I really hope that they dont remove another charater. Ive been watching this show for nearly 20 years now and i am at a point where I will stop watching if another character goes

Sep 23, 2009 8:46 PM

Guest :

you don't have to kill colleen Carlton off just recast her. like you do everyone else, you did it for victor son you can do it for here lily will need someone by her side as I see it lily has know friends but colleen and there are no more young actor in your show what going on I been watching young in the for a long time and you keep taking out the young actor they make the show work and also the old actor to. that why it call Y/r thank you just renumber this just Resat.... Please or keep her

Sep 23, 2009 8:59 PM

Guest :

I stopped watching some of the other soaps a long time ago because they are always killing people off and bringing them back to life. I hope that is not what the writers of Y&R are doing. Please keep it real! Also I feel that you are being so unfair to the viewer by not listing to what we want. We are the FANS, the ones who keep these soaps going. Please do not kill off Colleen. But if you want to do something productive, either get rid of the boring Lily and Cane storyline, or make it more exciting. They are sooooooo BORING!

Sep 23, 2009 9:48 PM

Guest :

THis is how I see it playing out based upon how the timing seems to be going. Victor is going to die and he is going to need a heart transplant to live because part of his heart will be shot out. Then Tracy will be convinced that Colleen has no hope of living and that she'd want to donate her organs and, of course, only she is compatible with Victor so she should be the one to donate her heart. We will then go on forever of the continued Abbott - Newman hatred because Colleen is dead and Victor is alive only because he has her heart. I am so OVER Victor Newman. I cannot understand how Eric Braeden can stand playing this character. He is horrible; this whole story is written horribly. Bill Bell has to be rolling over in his grave...to coin a phrase as I don't know if he's in a grave. Anyway, I'd like to see Colleen live just to have her go away to come back in another storyline, another year.

How long can Y&R survive on the legacy of Victor Nicky Ashely Jack and Paul.. Y&R you need to remember that if you dont cultivate your younger actors to attract younger viewers... In another 5-10yrs from now you may not be on the air anymore....I really like Tammin...and there are huge dynamic story lines that could be created through out that whole young dyamic group.. Lets keep the Young in the restless

Sep 24, 2009 9:11 AM

Guest :

No, I think she should stick around. She may not have a big role but I would love for her to come out of this with a miracle. It would be nice if the writers would keep her on the show to rekindle her love for JT. I think it would be nice if JT through all of this realized he and always will be in love Colleen. It would be more Dramatic if Victor died.

Sep 24, 2009 10:11 AM

Guest :

I have watched y&r since I was 15 we all took our lunch break at each other's house just to see 30 minutes worth. That was 32 years ago. I'm still upset over killing off Brad Carlton. At least he's on the sister show Bold & Beautiful. I feel they should just write her out so there's always a possibility of coming back. Anything is possible in Soap Opera land

Sep 24, 2009 10:34 AM

Guest :

Wow guys .... JUST RECAST.... seriously not only are you killing off an itneresting character you are erasing a part of the show's history: BRAD. And you are killing of Tracy's only child: LAME.

Sep 24, 2009 11:09 AM

Guest :

Please let her cum back from being brain dead because Lily needs her right now and it could become more interesting if she come back and began to fall in love with J.T so plz dont let her exit the show

Sep 24, 2009 12:57 PM

Guest :

Please don't kill Coleen off Y&R!I've grown up with the Abbotts and Newmans. Too many people have already left. It's time for healing in this stressful world!

Sep 24, 2009 3:17 PM

Guest :

Ok, I want to say that killing off YET another character is not a good thing. Especially a young one. So much future with this character. Drucilla, Brad, cassey, the dog, etc why not get rid of people like M.J or Deakon?? For real, If I was the writer of this story, I would blow the veiwers away...I can think of so many amazing twists and stories you can come up with. STOP KILLING OFF PEOPLE and start thinking of ways to keep the veiwers interested not SAD and MAD!!!!

Sep 24, 2009 3:18 PM

Guest :

If they kill Colleen I am pretty certain that I will no longer watch this show. First CBS let Guiding Light go off the air and now the writers of Y & R are going to kill off one of their best female young actors! I am still holding out hope that Victor is the one that dies and then we find out the truth about Ashely's baby and Colleen LIVES!!!

Sep 24, 2009 4:47 PM

Guest :

If anyone has to be "killed off", it needs to be Adam...I can't stand him and what's he done. I mean, look at Ashley....she's had a dead baby in her stomach for what...5 months? No kicking, no moving....no nothing..I'm a mother and those are things that you feel...all the time. Colleen was innocent, well, as innocent as can be....but she didn't deserve to be killed off...they could have just kept her low key and not had any major storylines around her.

Sep 24, 2009 6:37 PM

Guest :

DOnt kill her off......... JT and Colleen belong together :)

Sep 25, 2009 5:46 AM

Guest :

I hope the writers of this show can live with themselves after today's episode having Colleen pulled off the show. This aint something they can reverse later. It aint gonna be like Phillip comming back from the dead after a 20 year car accident. One would have to wonder if it was Lost, Colleen would had been given to Richard to save for the price of her innocence. Why couldn't they do something like that? because it's Young and the Lifeless, and the writers just care about themselves, so hell with this show!

Sep 25, 2009 8:15 AM

don't kill her off!!

i wish they would get some new writers for this show ,they always get rid of the good people who make the show,iam 2 the point of not even watching this show anymore,they need new writers !!!!!!!!

i love her acting. i do not want her to go. she is good for the role. she is a good freind of lily and j. t. loved by almost every one on the show. do someting miracleous to bring her back from braindead. please please please. kwward@shaw.ca canada bc v2r3y1 bring her back please

Sep 25, 2009 1:42 PM

Guest :

I too am dissapointed in the writing of the show, and its getting rid of young characters. I cant wait for Adam to get his, and hopefully we will feel fullfilled in the manner in which he goes, I guess Victor will never be touched, they have made him invincible, the most he will do is decome depressed and dissapear on a journey of "self reflection" (with Colleens Donated heart inside of him) and come back kinder, only to become the same old ruthless Victor ("you got that!") its old. as for the Winters family, they'll never be written off , because theyre the only black characters, or for that matter, of color on the show.YnR, you really dropped the ball with Colleen!!

Sep 25, 2009 5:23 PM

Guest :

guys face it, Colleen was not a "core" character and she barely had any scenes. She's a talented actress and will definitely be missed but it's time that she moves on to a place where her skills will be appreciated. Besides, they're never going to put her and J.T. back together. I don't want them together anyway because neither were ready nor mature enough for the relationship that they had. They can put JT with Mac. Victoria needs a real man, not a little boy.

Sep 25, 2009 6:50 PM

Guest :

I hope that Colleen is not killed off. This show need to stop killing off core character: John Abbott, Brad Carlton, and now Colleen. There will be no more Carlton's left on the show. I would rather see a newer, less significant character killed off like Jana or Kevin or Tyra. I've been watching this show for 20 years and am disgraced at seeing these core characters being killed off.

Sep 25, 2009 7:56 PM

Guest :

to the dummy that suggested that Ashley has been walking around with a dead baby in her stomach. % months in our time - 2 weeks in the the shows time. I personally like the 18 year old Chance Chancellor that shows up and in a day or teo is now a detective on the police force. Too funny.

Sep 25, 2009 8:36 PM

Guest :

First of all nothing makes sense in that storyline I don't think it ever did Ashley drives off in a storm she sees Sabrina and Nicole then later Victor finds Nicole's bracelet that Paul gave her then Ashley finds Nicole's cell phone and she even listened to the message !!that will never be discovered what happened .Then at the place where Nicole is found she has her cell phone then Adam gets away from a lot of scheme with that "Taylor" doctor and Victor the know it all doesn't check Taylor's background Adam and Taylor should both go in prison and Victor should join them for all his stupid immature schemes at his age for a man who is suppose to be wise and be a "FAMILY MAN" THAT SHOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR ANY MAN he's STUPID VERY STUPID and very DANGEROUS MAN I guess he doesn't have enough to do with his time but to keep on destroying other people who gets in the "WAY OF THE MONEY BAG" and Gloria, Jeffrey they never got caught kidnapping Patty and that Deacon guy should all join Victor in jail and throw away the key for a man like Victor who did what he has done to Patty he's SICK IN THE HEAD lot of people gets hurt when HE'S involve " VICTOR NEWMAN THE MONEY BAG HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS WITH HIS MONEY WHAT A WASTE"I find there is too much scheme one after another in that story that don't make no sense let the bad guys get caught for a change and put away that would make the story a lot more interesting but it drags and drags scheme after scheme and yes you should let Colleen live what is this story trying to say when Colleen was in the lake drowning she saw her friends sister her relatives then her grandpa says she know what to do the way I understood her grandpa and her father wanted her to go back to her life I have so much more to say but I'm done.

Sep 25, 2009 9:53 PM

Guest :

I don,t know who is writing for Young and the Restless they are doing a terrible job the show is going down hill please stop killing off characters for no reason. find someway to let Colleen live.

Sep 25, 2009 10:42 PM

Guest :

Please let Patty Williams find out about Colleen's brain death and Victors heart transplant issue and decide to commit suicide and leave her heart to Victor to make up for what she did. This way Colleen can take a deep breath and come back to everyone. Perfect Answer? Honestly does anyone think Patty Williams could ever be completely sane again. My 14 year old niece who watches this with me said "oh I wish they wouldn't kill Colleen, I was hoping she would grow old with me watching this show the way Nicky has grown old with you Auntie." Come on recast her if you must but don't kill her off and give her heart to Victor. That is weird stuff that you never forget, like every time I see Katie on Bold and the Beautiful you remember that ridiculous plot with her brother killing himself to give her his heart. At least if it's Patty's heart it's not so sick. Or how about his heart just starts working on it's own.

Sep 25, 2009 11:47 PM

Guest :

I LOVE Colleen&Tammin Sursok was really growing on me&I was hoping her &JT would get back together they belong together I always thought him &Victoia were mismatch. Why do they have to kill sooo many people off its annoying-Ryan, Bobby(think it was witness protection keeping him&Brittany safe)Jonh,SabrinaSky,David,Ji Min ,Brad-CASSIE~still angry about,now Colleen&thinking that Victor,Nikki,Kay,Jana were all dead&they werent-stop killing people off or making us think you are-Why Colleen-Lily needs her,JT needs her-i mean they bring back old characters&new ones but kill of ones who have ben there for yr-get rid of Abby or Noah but not Colleen,the writers have stories they could use her for they are being dumb, recast and have Adriaane Leon come back, but to kil her off-Traci's ONLY daughter is mean & wrong

Sep 25, 2009 11:50 PM

Guest :

Why not just kill off Abby cause the actress that plays her is horrible! I mean come on did you see her in the hospital room with colleen! I beg you write her out the show!

Sep 26, 2009 5:39 AM

Guest :

I don't think they should kill Colleen Off. Why just have her leaving town for a while until she finish her projects then return later. Just wake her up let her get better then leave town with her mom and stepdad. Thats how they did her mom Traci for awhile. Then come back later on in the show. I would be really upset if they kill off Colleen. I might not even watch it anymore. Anyone can see what's going to happen that victor will recieve her heart, but of course they will fight over it because it's victor fault that this has happened to her. When all boils down of course victor will recieve her heart. Did I just give you a month worth of Y&R.

Sep 26, 2009 11:22 AM

Guest :

Please don't kill Colleen off.She is wonderful and needs to give Victoria a run for JT(SO HOT). To me Abby needs to be let go. Her hospital scene was so fake. I wish they would hurry up and get Adam out of there also.

Sep 26, 2009 12:07 PM

Guest :

What does this mean for JT? Something to think about, if JT is human, he will see that he can't work for Paul anymore because his sister is partly responsible. Like he would wanna work for Victor again knowing he's mainly responsible, and knowing he has Colleen's heart. He will also see to no longer be involved in with the Newman family anymore over this. So what will happen with him? If the writers put JT and Mac back together after ducking from putting him and Colleen back together, it will be a slap in the face. I see JT will have no other choice than to leave town for a while. Of course JT could work for the Abbotts, but him doing that will have him to see to get revenge on Victor, and that will only get him killed!!!

Sep 26, 2009 5:26 PM

Guest :

YES YES AND YES let colleen tammin sursok live she is very kind she even forgave kevin trying to kill her and she told victor exactly what she thought of him and her sister needs her victor newman would learn a lot from his goddaughter if he'd listen but you cannot tell the "MONEY BAG ANYTHING" I LOVE HER CHARACTER AND SHE IS AN EXCELLENT ACTRESS SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH I LOVE THAT ABOUT HER and WHO'S WRITING THIS STORY ANYWAY its such a screwd up story line i mean paul had a baby with eva [her character's name i forgot] we don't hear about it anymore and victor i cannot get over this he's a monster destroys people's lives he gets hurt he gets his hearts broken then he's back to be RUTHLESS to think that ashley thought he'd change !!!!!! VICTOR NEWMAN IS VICTOR NEWMAN HE GOES THRU HELL HE GOES THRU SORROWS THEN HE'S BACK TO BEING RUTHLESS.and nicole she is better off with paul when is adam the doctor get caught victor is such a moron and that poor maid who worked on the newman's ranch for years it developed to nothing oooooooohhhh they were suppose to work hard to find out who was behind these skemes when all along adam who's following his daddy's footsteps is under their noses i find that paul tracy lily cane colleen sharon catherine murphy they all know what they want but the rest of the gang phyllis she TOOK SHARON'S HUSBAND AWAY FROM HER WHEN NICHOLAS WAS VULNERABLE AND MAY I ADD "A MARRIED MAN" sharon belongs to nicholas phyllis who's a marriage breaker and a skemer she belongs to jack.. sharon and nicholas are not people with skemes but phyllis with all her skemes and she still does it matches with jack who made a lot of them as well and never caught either YOU NEVER SAW SHARON TRY TO BREAK ANOTHER MARRIAGE NEVER SHE NEVER EITHER TRY TO HIDE THAT SHE LOVED HER HUSBAND BUT THAT PHYLLIS WHO IS A SNAKE PHYLLIS LOOKS SO MUCH YOUNGER THAN NICHOLAS ITS LIKE MOTHER AND SON HOW PATHETIC THAT IS.... AND I DON'T AGREE WITH THE SOAP THAT SHARON CAME FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACK EXCUSE ME SHE HAS A VERY VERY GOOD LOVING SYMPATHIC MOTHER but i'm sure glad that sharon's baby is nick HOORAY HOOORAY HOOORAY phyllis the marriage breaker get yourself another guy one who belongs to YOU go back to jack you snake she talks to noah what people do and she does the very same a two face hypocrite ANYWAY i'm going to say this when people in that story get caught that's when it gets very interesting! incl.VICTOR HE CAN HURT OR DESTROY PEOPLE BUT "D'T DO THAT TO HIM

I can now only wish the best for Tammin Sursok, and for Lyndsy Fonseca. I can't leave out the actress who played Collen in between Lyndsy, and Tammin, but have no idea what she's doing now. It's not the end for Tammin, nor is it the end for Lyndsy. I want nothing but the best both of them. I want for them both get leading roles in future acting projects. As for the writers go. Not all writers are bad. The ones who have wrote Lost are good ones. Although they wrote off charactors too, but they did it with meaning, and a purpose. The only purpose I see the Y&R writers to write off Colleen was because the Actor who played Brad left the show, and now he's acting on Bold and the Beautiful. Is that why they didn't see to recast the Colleen role? Kinda sucks that Brad was Colleen's lifeline, and now she's dead 7 months after Brad died. So is JT gonna die 7 months from now? since Colleen was his lifeline!

The writing just keeps getting worse on this once great show. It has turned into the lunatic show. All of our
characters are in and out of mental hospitals or getting killed off. And that dumb plot with Daniel Kevin and gang is a total silly bore. Wake up writers, you should be axed.

I like Colleen in my own little way. I don't think it's right that she is killed off my #1 Daytime Soap (The Young and the Restless). If she had to leave the show it should have been after Lily became a cancer survivor. Bad time to let Colleen leave especially now that she is sufferring from cancer. Now that Colleen, Lily's best friend, is leaving the show, is Dru coming back to support her daughter. This is the ONLY soap I'm interested in and everyone is leaving it. Bring Dru back, Lily will be needing her especially now.

I want to write a thank you to Tammin Sursok who just was fantastic as Colleen. I have viewed other boards and was disgusted by the remarks others wrote in regards to Tammin as a recast Colleen since the axing of Adrianne Leon, particularly when no one heard of her or her work. Tammin shined and I knew she would not succumb to the backlash surrounding Adrianne's departure. Great to see a strong actress in Hollywood. Tammin it has been a pleasure seeing you on y&r where you brought back spunk, wit, and laughter through comedy particularly with Billy Miller. You and Don made a fanatastic father -daughter duo. Loved the chemistry you had with your co-stars, shame the writers lacked the knowledge to wrote for your Colleen. You are an extraordinary talent and I'm glad you impressed many and are able to show of your talents through the projects who have secured. I hope you come back to daytime either on the other shows or even on y&r as a different character eg. an aussie relative of Cane's who looks like Colleen. I know prime time will definitely be knocking on your door. All the best and thank you for making me enjoy Collen again.

They need to kill off Victor instead! He is the reason she is brain dead in the first place. I want her to make it and take JT away from Victoria's stupid butt. I'm so disappointed in Y&R for first getting rid of Brad and now this. Not to mention Phyllis still being with Nick. Everyone knows Nick belongs with Sharon just like Colleen needs to be okay and be with JT!

I agree - the writers are insane. Fire whoever is writing these stories. They are 'HORRIBLE'. Go ahead and 'replace' TAMMIN but don't kill COLLEEN. I will never-ever watch Y&R again if you kill her.
KILL VICTOR - :-0 Hey - maybe they are going to get rid of JT too.
I guess so cause if COLLEEN dies - it will kill him. :-(

I am so happy to finally see her being let go. She really has no story line and I am so tired of seeing her being put on the back burner. Her part has no realavence to the story line. Maybe now Victoria can stop worring about her husband having an affair with Colleen (ha ha Now that was funny)

To help me getting over Colleen getting writen off the show. I first decided to close the door on me watching this freak show. I then looked up what else both Tammin Sursok, and Lyndsy Fonseca has acted in. I found some movies both of them have been in. I rented both Albino Farm with Tammin in it, and Remember the Daze with Lyndsy in it in honor of both of them playing the Colleen role. I also decided to mainly rent movies now because TV programing sucks. Who needs that crap. I thank the stupid Y&R writers for freeing me from watching this show now. I am free, free at last. They did me a favor, but it's still messed up to write off a charactor like that. A such charactor who has been around longer than others, and who people have got attached to. I can't speak for anyone else about you stupid freaks writing this crap, but you can't expect me to continue to watch now. I have closed the door, and might as well lock it, but I wont. Do you wanna know why? some day it will be brought to your attention how dumb this was, and how sick you were. Maybe one of you dips**ts will then have a heart to not let the show actually get canceled. Funny how I said one of you writers then have a heart, because the sick you freaks are, you scripted Victor getting Colleen's heart. That's what I'm talking about. If any of you did have a heart in you. I can see Colleen dying being acceptable, but like hell it's acceptable to script Victor getting her heart. You low lives should just had that Psycho shoot Colleen. That would had been better. It didn't happen that way, so now I am better off. F**k your daytime garbage!!!!

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Here is another comment submitted by a Y & R viewer:

"I just read the article about Tammin Sursok leaving Y&R. I am not sure if this was well thought out by the writers. However, they probably debated this to some degree. I think that maybe they writers hit a wall when it came developing Colleen's charracter.

Colleen hasn't had much of a storyline this year.after her father's death and when she decided to take his board seat. I had a feeling something was about to happen when she set up by VIctor and when she was turned down for the art professor job at the University. Was it really wise to kill her off? She could had found a job and moved away or helped Lilly through her cancer story. If could be that the actor wanted to move on to other things, the writers felt like Colleen was no longer needed, and just a least liked charracter."

For years my wife and I have watched Y&R. We are getting a bit tired of the killing off of characters, and the appearance of their ghosts. We think that a dose of realism is in order. When was the last time Jack Abbott had to leave to go to a dental appointment, or needed to get to the dry cleaners by 5:00 PM. Doesn't anyone in Genoa City every go to a high school play or have a talk with the english teacher over the grades of their kid?
Lets get in touch with reality a bit. We know it's a soap, but come on people!!!
Thanks,
Ann and Jeff

Glad it was Tammin in the role and NOT Adrianne Leon, as Tammin acted like Colleen with all Colleen's characteristics. Adrianne Leon's portrayal did NOT impress me one little bit.

The thing that bothers me is they keep bringing in new charactors into the show. They also brought back one who was believed to gotten killed off 20 years ago. This is with them killing off chactors who have been around for a long time. Why don't they stick with what they have? and when it's needed bring in a new charactor. It's not about them seeing Colleen wasn't needed anymore. They still could had done a lot with her. It's a bunch of BS, that they did this 7 months after Brad leaving. Colleen could had worked with out him. Did the writers even give it a chance? did they give it a chance with a new actress playing the role? I aint gonna accept they didn't want to cast it again. Yet, Mac has been around for 10 years, and already they casted her 4 times. They could had atleast waited a time period to kill her off. The only reason to why I see they killed Colleen off, and had her heart give to Victor was so they could send out their message about people becomming an organ donor. I can see them doing that as a good thing, but to involve Colleen as the donor to Victor is so wrong. If they were gonna do something like that, they should had involved Mac, not Colleen. They had Mac come and go how many times in the past 10 years since she was made into a charactor, and people can already guess, once she doesn't like how things are, she is gonna bail outta town yet again. Mac was the better fit to be an organ donor any way!

Tammin is the best actress to play Colleen so far and i agree with other viewers; quit killing off everybody to only bring them back later as ghosts, a twin, etc. I also think its a disgrace to Hope that her son Adam ends up being such a psycho. She was such a great woman that while blind still raised her son. And the whole Ashley thing... PLEASE... doesnt she take a bath to see that she doesnt have a bump? That has to be one of the most rediculous story lines ever! It seems that too many story lines begin okay and once we think things are gonna get better they flop with some redicuolous turn. i ask too many times... why even begin a story line that truly doesnt have an end. i've been wathing Y&R for 37 years and this is the worst story writing ever. i find myself fast forwarding my DVR way too offten.

I am sooo upset! After Brad I didn't even want to watch anymore and now Colleen??!!!!she was my favorite of the younger characters and sooo beautiful!!!!! I'm not happy with y&r at all. Not Happy!!!!!

Guest :

i don't agree with the stupid person who said they don't care if she goes off the screen just so they don't have to see Tammin Sursok on their scree. If they don't like it they can stop watching! She is my favorite character and I wAnt her to live on as Colleen.

if they kill off Colleen I think I will stop watchig Y&R!!! Tammin Sursok plays Colleen the best!!!!!!!!

i'm so very very disappointed they killed Colleen and to give Victor Colleen's heart to him YOU ARE ALL OUT OF YOUR SICK MIND if anyone didn't the heart was small children and when Neil was talking to Victoria about the heart he said "we are talking about "VICTOR NEWMAN" is he somekind of "GOD" that the writers made him he does the impossible that what Victoria said about him in the past and Jack he'd be a very very good husband for someone on the show he may had lots of sckemes like Phillis and Victor Adam but he has a heart of "GOLD" he is very thoughful
but i guess whoever is the head of this soap they'll probably keep the "WRITER WHO IS A MORON" MORON YOU SHOULD GO AND SWEEP THE FLOOR YOU HAVEN'T A CLUE HOW TO WRITE A STORY AND TO ARREST BAD PEOPLE INCL."VICTOR NEWMAN THE MONEY BAD"

I am really disappointed and upset that they are killing off Colleen on this show and letting the very lovely and talented Tammin Sursok walk. Colleen is a core character and they should have continued on with her (Tammin) and developed her story lines. She is really going to be missed in this story.

Get rid of Billy. I think he is a horrible actor, his facial expressions are confusing. When he is mad, is he smiling or trying to show his fangs?

It broke my heart to see Colleen killed of the way she was. I was a huge fan of Brad and they way the writers killed him off was bad enough but to kill Colleen almost the same way was horrible. I have watched Y&R for over 20 years and so upset the way they are witing storylines.

Guest :

Well, I am officially no longer a Y&R fan even tho I have watched the show since day one. I am EXTREMELY unhappy about them writing the part of Colleen Carlton out of the show. They should have recast or send her away for awhile. And the real slap in the face is Victor getting the heart. What about all those people who were already on the list. As always, it is who has the money. And if that didn't make me pause in considering terminating Y&R from my list of daily shows, they went and gave Sharon's baby to Ashley & Victor. Sickening!!! But I guess it was the only way to keep Adam on the show. Well I hope the next generation enjoys it because "I am outta here" Good Luck Tammin Sursok.

It's ok people. Just look at what happened with Colleen as their f*ckin freak show. I know what's up. I want nothing to do with it anymore. In the entertainment business reguarding fictional charactors. They can make someone's career, or not make their career, but with this freak show, mistakes done by the writers will just break the show of what it is, and it also makes whatever actor who played that charactor look better. I mean look at how much sympanthy both Tammin Sursok, and Lyndsy Fonseca maybe getting from people now. They gotta look at how many people who don't like this as a hint to them droping the ball. Now they gotta deal with consequence of getting rid of a charactor who a lot of people liked very much. This is what they wanted, and for what? so Victor could get Colleen's heart so he could be alive still to marry Nikki again. How many times are they gonna put Nikki, and Victor together? They'll get remarried to just get divorced yet again. They go with this stupid crap over and over like some broken record. They killed off Colleen, and they want all of us to move on watching the show with out her, but Why can't they burry this crap with Nikki and Victor? it's making me so sick that I am ready to barf. It might be suitable for them, and other viewers, but it aint suitable for me. Nice going. You stupid writers lost me forever. Time for me to watch movies, and better stuff on TV now that Young and the Lifeless went to being retarded and cold hearted!!!

Love Tammin as Colleen the writers have done a mistake. Tammin needs to stay. I hope she comes back as a Colleen look a like, that would be awesome. I will miss Tammin Sursok.

OMG people! It's a show! I love the young and the restless, there are so many story lines going on that having Colleen out is really going to have all of you not a fan anymore, wow. I like how you didn't know whether Colleen was going to live or die, it was suspense. If we always knew who was going to live or die, what fun would that be? Give me a break. Lol, I still love the show, people need to get a life.

The whole show has gone downhill badly. I've been watching for 20 years or more and I have stopped watching. I fast forward thru it once in a while on a channel that shows recent shows but that's it for me. The story lines are nuts and they go on far too long, i.e. this thing with Adam. It's sad that Colleen is leaving but that's just par for the course for the show lately. If it doesn't change, they are going to lose a lot of viewers - actually they already are.

First of all I believe the writer is Maria arena Bell...maybe not...but whoever you are at Y&R should be ashamed... enuf with killing off all the good people... get rid of that new "Adam" piece of crap...I cannot believe the story line for this guy....& his boring portrayal of "Adam"...its too bad the other one left...."He" played the part as arotten person real well....I have been watching Y&R since 1982 & have NEVER seen such garbage as the past 1-2 yrs of writing....or is that writing...do you guys just sit in a board & dream this stuff up.....GET with the program or you may find yourselves "DEFUNCT" like Guiding Light

There really aint much more I can say other than, it's been a nice, and peaceful 4 days not watching this crap. My last memory of the show will forever be the end of monday's episode. I did a double middle finger salute. I couldn't find it in me to watch it up to Colleen's funeral like I originally wanted because I liked my last memory of watching this crap where it already was with my double middle finger salute. The writers can't expect to fool anyone. I see right through their plan. They want Jack as the last living Abbott. This freak show is all about the Newman's any way. The show would die if Victor Newman wasn't around anymore. How do they even expect people to continue watch with them knowing Brad died by saving a Newman, and Colleen died by saving another Newman. Why don't they script Tracy dying for a Newman next? what purpose does she have left now?

What's done is done and it wont ever get taken back. It don't matter how us viewers feel, and the people running things for this freak show see that. It's not about what we want, or like. It's all about what they want. Even it means them writing certain garbage that will soon get the freak show canceled. If I had a kid who went to day care, and I found out who was watching him/her was watching this crap, I would take him/her out, and take my kid some where else. I wouldn't want anyone watching this garbage crying their eyes out when they are suppose to watch my kid. For 2 full weeks Colleen was lifeless in the hospital, and what did that actually do? They can't expect people to continue watching this garbage. Instead they should let the freak show get canceled. O YES, I TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT THE SHOW BEING EVIL!!!!!
