Talk:Jill Abbott

Jill's Legal Name
Jill is NOT a Chancellor. Although the former writer Lynn Marie Latham, insisted on using this fallacy from time to time Jill has never been a Chancellor. Chancellor is the last name of her mother, Katherine, through marriage. As Katherine was neither married to Chancellor at the time of Jill's birth or had Jill with Chancellor the name is not hers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.195.31 (talk) 06:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * jill is a chancellor by marriage like katherine. you obviously don't realize she married kat's husband, but kat found a way to dissolve their marriage after the husband's death which kat caused.

Yes, Jill married Phillip on his death bed, but because Katherine and Phillip's divorce (which they were undergoing) hadn't dissolved the marriage, Jill was forced to annull her marriage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.93.216.37 (talk) 22:58, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't yap, you bitch. And sign your comments. Yoryla (talk) 21:06, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Deletion would be ridiculous
There are a multitude of articles on soap operas and soap opera characters. Jill Foster Abbott is a major character (and the only remaining original character) on The Young and the Restless, which has been the highest rated American soap opera each and every week for over 1000 weeks -- in other words, about TWENTY YEARS. That alone makes that article worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.

True, it needs to be cleaned up, but deletion? That's just insane! -- ABCxyz (talk) 05:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If you really feel that way then clean the article up and add notability. Right now it's just a plot summary and that's not notable. Like the proposal for deletion says "no attempt has been made to establish real world notability". That's true for most of the soap opera articles. The Young and the Restless ones go against Wikipedia policy more so than most since too many of the editors contributing to them are more concerned with updating plot and moving articles away from common names, than they are in making real improvements.Rocksey (talk) 06:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * True, the article needs improvement. But the only character of Y&R who has been with the show since it's first episode shouldn't have its page deleted. That's just crazy. I would improve it, but I'm way too busy doing other things. Maybe sometime in the future. Dmarex (talk) 08:48, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Suggestion: Stop wasting energy on the talk page and improve the article by addressing the problem identified. If we all followed the same rules Wikipedia would be more respected as a reference source and wouldn't invite as much ridicule as it does at the present time. Thanks.

Don't instruct others on how to spend their time. If you think it should be done, Boston, do it, don't complain. Yoryla (talk) 21:09, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Jill Fenmore
Why isn't this article titled "Jill Fenmore". She is no longer going to be known commonly as "Jill Foster Abbott" or historically as "Jill Foster Abbott", because her birthright isn't "Foster" and she has blattnely made it clear she is no longer an "Abbott". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.93.216.37 (talk) 05:32, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:NCCN. The character changed her name a few days ago. That hardly makes Fenmore her common name. For over 20 years, she has been most notably recognized as Jill Foster Abbott in the series, in the real world press and books. Maybe over time, the character will be more notably known by this new name, but we can't speculate on what might happen. Rocksey (talk) 21:09, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Requested move
Jill Fenmore or Jill Abbott Fenmore It has now been over a year since Jill changed her name to Fenmore. I think it is time that it became official. I cannot do this myself because the target page Jill Fenmore already exits. Allukka (talk) 14:27, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * She has had Jill Foster Abbott as her name since the eighties, throughought 1990s and 2000s and to now. Just because currently her legal name is Fenmore no need to move the page, but her name in the opening text may be changed. Don't move it or it will be moved back. -- Soap Jar 21  Talk? 14:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
