How many of us really have the ideal family life that is harmonious and well balanced? Methinks not many. We have all known at least one dysfunctional family, but when it comes to soaps, do well-balanced families even exist? Y&R's Fisher/Baldwin family epitomizes dysfunctional, so it's time to dissect the family and find some of the fun in their dysfunction.

There have been so many interesting characters on The Young and the Restless, and we the fans have developed a love/hate relationship with a number of them. Some characters haven't been allowed to shine while others have. Many have come and gone, but maybe they were gone too soon and should be resurrected. Join our columnist as she looks at which characters have been underplayed, which have shone over the years, and why some should return.

The custody battle over Christian was near -- with Connor's possibly looming in the horizon. Was Adam a selfish and cold-hearted weasel who only wanted to control and possess his sons? Has he been painted in too dark of a shade of grey to ever be redeemed? It was a battle of the hearts and wills in Two Scoops.

J.T. was an elaborately disguised Nick! But just who was this "new man" behind the mask? Will Nick prove to be more of his father's son than he would want? And how will Victor exact future revenge on his son now that he has a worthy adversary? Plus, Hilary's exit began with a crash in Two Scoops.

It wasn't hard for Nick to say, 'I'm sorry,' as he doled out apologies to his mother, his son, and his sister. Billy, on the other hand, still refused to accept responsibility for any of his wrongdoings. Can Billy ever quit blaming others so he can have a happy and fulfilling life? It's all a balancing act in Two Scoops.

Adam was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Will new roomies Victor and Adam finally have the chance to bond together behind bars, as father and son? Chloe wigged out and held onto the evidence that proved Adam's innocence. Can anyone possibly rein in a lollipop-sucking Chloe with her ever-ready, handy-dandy cigarette lighter? It's time to think outside the box and not go back to square one in Two Scoops.

Read on as Y&R's Two Scooper reports from her beat in Genoa City.
