What positive storylines would you like to see?

I feel like Y&R has had a lot of "downer" storylines lately. Katherine's struggles have been heroic, but she's really had a very hard time of it...it's been difficult to watch sometimes. Neil Winters is seemingly deciding to throw away his marriage for Tyra. Billy is just using Sharon who seems barely aware of what she's doing these days; Chloe is probably going to hook a second husband who is anything but devoted to her. Kevin has been severely traumatized by Clint and his list of crimes is growing by the day. Even perhaps the most cheerful story of the week, Adam's getting out of prison, is colored by the problems Adam is having with his vision. While some of these storylines will probably lead to happy resolutions somewhere down the line, I feel like Y&R is becoming something of a doom-and-gloom fest. If you agree, what different sort of storylines would you like to see in the coming weeks? Here's what I'd like to see: #1. More Colleen. I really liked her reemergence as a serious character and have been disappointed that she's basically vanished off the radar. Although she is young and kind of a fish out of water on the Newman board, I'd like to see her portrayed as someone who takes her job seriously and who can make it in the corporate world. Let's see her come up with some fresh ideas. Ideally, it'd be great to see her get a seat on the Jabot board too and really follow in her father's footsteps. #2. Let Eden do something good. She's so far been a well-meaning girl who nonetheless constantly gets into all sorts of trouble, which does keep things interesting, but I think she needs to make up for her past mistakes. It would be great if she could save someone from a catastrophe -- perhaps it could even be Sharon, the person who was so sure Eden was responsible for taking the books she herself shoplifted in one of her klepto moments. #3. Some Abbott solidarity. Jack's kind of by himself these days. Ashley is very much on Victor's side of things. Billy's affair with Sharon is sure to shock and anger Jack...plus Billy got to be CEO of Jabot with Victor's help. It's going to be tough, but it would be nice to see this family resolve some of their issues, particularly since Jack makes such a big deal about what it means to be an Abbott. Why not bring Traci back, too? That could give Jack at least one family ally even if Ashley and Billy are more in Victor's camp.
