Higley/Tomlin/Whitesell provided the bones/structure for good storytelling, with much of that regimes strong points being listed above. Tomlin/Whitesell really built upon that with their last stint and the show was pretty good for awhile under them, until the end of course. One story under them that I wish they would have gotten to tell, or at least I'm curious about, are their original plans for Jordan/Ben/Clyde. It seemed like this would be a rehash of Curtis/Billie/Austin, with Billie/Austin being Ben/Jordan. Would a murder mystery had taken place down the road, with Kate, Sami, Ben, Jordan, and Rafe being the suspects? Who knows? As soon as Tomlin/Whitesell were out of the door, this story and Jordan's rape was swept under the rug forgotten by future regimes.

Good for KT! This "romance" with Cody is trash.

MM as Hillary was destined to be the next Jill of the show, but Mal dashed all those hopes for cheap shock of killing Hillary off. I don't blame MM for leaving. I was thinking the other day, a good idea to bring Taggart's relationship with his daughter Trina to the forefront is to bring on a love interest for him, perhaps someone that Trina does not take a liking to instantly. MM would be perfect for such a role.

I had no problem with splitting up Nick and Phyllis again, always thought they were horrible together, and could never last; no matter how many times they get back together.

I hope we at least get one music video lol I know Bey can rise up in the charts without one, just to say that she can, but I would love to see one for Break My Soul and Alien Superstar.

Nothing before 1993, pathetic.

I really dig that color. Sad that's my only compliment for the show today 😂

The execution of all of this is simply poor.

^Right! This library is more likely to include anything from 2010 and forward knowing our luck 😂

This. Unless there's a regime change, I don't see TSJ staying long.

Doesn't seem real. I'm shocked, and it's so soon. I wonder if the exits of a few of the cast was because they knew about this in advance.

In a perfect world the show would have aired an episode dedicated to Becky’s 25th anniversary followed by an episode honoring Kin’s 45th anniversary which is today. Scott is already like a surrogate father to her. Missed opportunity Frank. Anyways Frank and the show makes its priorities known….”but what about Finn!”

Rest in Peace Bill Russell and Nichelle Nichols, such a sad day

This was such a problematic period/part of the show. Its like RC said0 "lets regress this part of the canvas back to late 90s(97-99) early 00s era, and make sure it's as cliched and plot driven as possible between Tea/Todd/Blair." Brought down so much of the show. Stacy/Kim were indeed fun, and I liked the potential of a possible custody war between Kim/Clint/Stacey and Fish/Kyle, but it never came to fruition.

Seems like a big a reset, and so far none of it is working. The show is hallow, but it kind of felt that way before all these exits, it's just more obvious now.

When VK first came on, she didn't come off as a diva, but as time progressed it certainly has set in that she does tend to come off as one.

Why am I not surprised. RN seemed so optimistic when they interviewed him upon coming to the show, they made it seem it would be a long term gig. Pathetic. I fear they have the same plans for SW as Diane.

Interesting, I did not know Slesar had written for Search for Tomorrow.
