I don't know this story. What was it about?

Wouldn't that be a "tailor-assumed" role rather than "taylor-made"?

 

The OP is saying that the role was so perfect that it seemed tailor-made. If you want to be picky let's not forget that Charita was a  recast too.

It was Mario who was killed, but it was not Talbot who killed him.  I cannot remember who it was who killed Mario.   Marco then posed for a while as Mario (who was actually Mario).

Mario died from a heart attack in front of Marco.

As for Karen she literally prostituted herself right?

Not exactly. She had self esteem problems and she was browsing at a department store. Talbot offered her sex in exchange for the dress. The euphoria elevated spirits and then he started to introduce her to other men. Over time, it became an addiction. Then Marco found out and blackmailed her into being his "Madam". The fitness club, I believe, was a front for a whorehouse.

I blame the writing and the way Susan Hayes has played her (over the top). The underlying 'Julie is racist' stuff didn't help endear her to anyone. I adore her but I can see why people don't. She played it very well on Friday and reminded me why I love her.

 

Glad you enjoyed the episode. I haven't seen it yet.

Wait! What racist stuff?

Was Talbot Huddleston, who later killed Marco, driving the car that killed Pat's son Brian? 

I thought it was that Mario died and Marco switched their identities and then made it seem as if Vicki killed him (Marco).

Why was DOOL considered bad before Bill Bell took over? What was wrong with it? What stories were taking place?

I think the 1999 face scar story is when the show stopped writing Erica as a 3D character and turned her into a cartoon.  And she seemed to regress in maturity as well.

Look at Erica running Tempo in the 80s and later Enchantment in the 90s.  She acted mature, decisive and like an adult.

Flashforward to the 2000s..and she was acting like a teenager.  

Were we watching the same show LOL?

Susan didnt deserve those many nominations anyway.  Kate Collins wasn't nominated once and thats a crime.

Oh, I agree.

I understand that. Just commenting in general. I believe there is a Topic already on the board about  characters that didn't interact.   Most of this was discussed there. 

Welcome to the board. Maybe look through the topics before creating another topic.   That's what most of us do before creating them.

 

God Bless You.

I think they were referring to any temporary replacement actresses to Lucci as Erica (if Susan had gotten ill, ect.).

Oh, Okay.

Are you a troll?

Was "Out of Ashes" in November 2006? Which we all called "out of their asses" which played out on a carpark for two weeks, allegedly cost a huge amount of money but looked and felt sooo cheap and pointless on screen. All I remember of it now is Jeanne Cooper walking around in a dusted face.

The first half of 2006 was pretty solid work and the show felt like it was getting refocused again. There were some great moments like Neil finding out the truth about Lily’s paternity, Victoria/JT one night stand, Sharon’s famous confrontation with Nick In Phyllis’s lingerie, and the initial tainted face cream story was pretty juicy. 
 

Then came along Brad’s past and Victor’s mystical epilepsy complete with lousy Hope recast (wasn’t it the lady who played Tracy McKay on Dallas lol?). That along with Jack becoming the devil incarnate the show quickly went off the rails by late summer. 

1) What was "Out of Ashes"

2) what is this about Victor's epilepsy?

3) And what about Jack! Please tell me he didn't actually become the devil LOL

it’s been a while since i read ken corday’s memoir, but from what i remember, he said that it was irna who encouraged his father to create his own show. she is credited as a co-creator of days… i know there were some lawsuits filed over this (one, i think by her daughter, after irna’s death). i believe irna’s son is still receiving royalties. 

i also recall that when ted was diagnosed with cancer shortly after days… premiered, irna helped to take up the slack. but, when bill bell took over as headwriter after ted’s death, irna took that as a personal betrayal and, according to bell, the two never spoke again. 

I thought Irna wanted Bell at DOOL? Why did she feel betrayed?

Why do people assume she is telling the truth? I have known PLENTY of women who have lied about doing this kind of stuff -- including a few family members. That being said, I do hope he is out as the show needs a shakeup (assuming the replacement is someone solid).

My young nephew will be visiting in a few weeks for about a month. I suspect he'll know how to deal with this. 

Alternatively, I could send a newly recorded cassette with the applicable clips, though I know that's considered an obsolete technology (pre-historic) these days. 

Thanks for your patience.

Any update?

I don't understand what you mean. Everyone knew where Steven was: he was in prison for conspiring with Gerald Davis to lie in court during Steve's divorce hearing from Rachel. While locked up, Steve got into a physical altercation and was put in solitary confinement, which meant no one could see or speak to him temporarily. 

Everyone at the end keeps saying "Nobody knows where he is". Watch the Alice/Rachel fight

Why didn't they know where Steve was?  

How long was Ruby/Michelle Phillips on SFT?

A long while ago I saw these scenes of Kay talking to Esther about all of Jill's sins. It was an early sin and I think it was around the time Jill and John first got married.

In the vault I posted the Bill Bell interview titled: "Just Plain Bill" from 1973. He says that he hates melodrama and that he feels business storylines would be boring LOL

Who is writing this?

.  Y&R REALLY missed the boat by not naming Kathryn Foster as executive producer, in my opinion.)  

You mean, she should have been EP because she had pretty episodes? Okay! Perfect reason!!!

Lily was pretty dreadful, but psychologically she was fairly interesting simply because she was the first "poverty tourist" I'd ever seen dramatized on a soap.   Back in the 1970s, it wasn't unusual for wealthier people to take "poverty tours" of the Appalachian Mountains and photograph the poor living conditions of the residents of the region, then return to the suburbs and entertain their friends with "poverty tour" pictures.  Now people seem to enjoy taking "ghetto tours" of Detroit and posting You Tube videos of burned-out houses and rundown neighborhoods.  Lily was at the forefront of all that with her "hands-on poverty tour" of the Snyder farm.  ("No need for me to spend another dull summer at the country club or the yacht club; instead, I'll go gawk at the hand-me-down clothes and squeaking doors of the poor, country folk!  I won't offer to help.  I'll simply immerse myself for the moment in their dreary little lives!")  She was kinda like Nellie Oleson on "Little House on the Prairie", who enjoyed observing Half Pint's poverty from a safe distance, and then running back to Oleson's Mercantile in her white dress and bonnet to load-up on peppermints and lemon drops.    

I've been watching all of that and I disagree with you. She was going to the Snyder farm because she felt welcome. They provided her the warmth and structure and support Lucinda, and that world as a whole, wasn't giving her but she needed.
