Y&R: Old Articles
Not at all is it stupid. It's not a retcon. Firstly, listen to the music; it's communicating tension. Second, as you said, it was a decade ago. The emotions have subsided. If she came back and Victor was an ass and dismissive or threw her out that would have been impulsive even for him. Had this been a 6 weeks after she tried to kill him and Nikki? Then, yes, that wouldn't make sense. There is a guy who fucked me and my fiance over 5 years ago (framed him of a crime and he went to jail for it but was exonerated but we went homeless as a result). Had I ran into him even a few months after the fact? I would have killed him. 5 years later? Well, no; I haven't forgave him but my emotions have subsided. I would be cautious. Civil, but on alert.

It still amazes me that they didn't have her a character with no ties to GH or another soap. But I think that is when the whole synergie thing happened I hope Sonny is locked away in a sanitarium. There, he becomes in a love triangle between Heather Webber and Janet Dillon. (Or he's killed by both?)

I'm trying really hard to find a better copy of this. Also, a long time ago there was a french website that detailed all the Young and REstless music ques. With audio saved in the site.

BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos
I'm pretty much with you on all of this. That said, the press release was just released and I'm sure that the title, if anything, will be replaced. It's probably just a working title. I'm also certain that there will be more than one location/neighborhood. I'm imagining that the area in reference to the current title will be positioned as like the castle on a hill overlooking the 'little people'. The rich area, though the main area, is the area everyone else aspires to be in (either physically there or at the same social-economic level). If anything, the prime family will probably have extended family that's poor. Like, the brother of the rich patriarch will be poor. Ala "Rich Man; Poor Man".

How would you rate DOOL now compared to Ron's work?

GH: O’Connor/Van Etten OUT! Mulcahey/Korte IN!
Oh, that's so debatable. Firstly, though, to sell to the viewers the viewers need to be committed. What makes them committed? Compelling story; weather it be a train wreck like Ron's work or a masterpiece like Clair's work. Ron sucked but he knew how to keep viewers glued. The counter debate of your statement is that the creative team wants to express their creativity. They view the advertising model as a necessary evil. But let's also remember that Charles Dickens, along with the other writers during the Victorian Era, were serial writers. Dickens is considered to be a brilliant writer, yet, the purpose of serials then was also to sell to the masses. Further, early on, much of radio was self-funded. The original purpose of the FCC was to 'serve the public interest'. Finally, let's be honest, all forms of entertainment that one pays for is a commodity. From the Broadway theater, to the movies, to streaming. Books, magazines, newspapers. They all exist to put money in someone else's pocket (again, the creative forces generally don't look at it that way but their managers do).

ALL: Always surprised by the casual violence of men toward women in older episodes
Look at the initial years of the character dynamics I listed. During the 70s, and before, many men didn't want their wives to have careers. Many made them leave their careers. Yeah, it wouldn't have been unheard of for a man to want his wife to stop practicing medicine. It's in fact true that men, especially then, felt threatened by career women. @j swiftAs far as me being in incel -- I idolize Lady Lovelace, Lillian Gilberth, Lillian Gish, Dee Dee Allen, Pauline Kael, June Havoc (along with many other women. I don't like idiots, man or woman. I don't like either men or women who feel either sex is better than one or worse than one. I hate men who feel masculinity, and being a man, is superior. And I hate women who subscribe to that ideal as well. Further, I hate the ideal that women are somehow better. @Paul Raven and @j swift Don't you dare think I hold archaic views with women and careers. If I have them I wouldn't have studied soap opera for 16 years.

ALL: Always surprised by the casual violence of men toward women in older episodes
It's simple. Let me ask you this. Regarding Dorian/Victor. Suppose a male doctor who lost his license wormed his way into the life a wealthy woman with a heart condition and he cuts her pills down -- culminating to her having a heart attack and him just standing by with a grin on his face. You and all the manic Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan worshipers would have a goddamn stroke yourself. People get a thrill when they see women attacking, emotionally or physically, each other. Example: Restless' Attic Fight with Kay and Jill But never, ever when a man attacks a woman, emotionally or physically. I never had, to be honest. But, still, lets not pretend that men against women violence is somehow a greater sin than women attacking women. Women can be as cruel, emotionally abusive, corrupt, as men. Don't pretend that isn't so. And why the hell do you people always have to bring up the negative? Why not, say, create a post with the topic/headline being "Always surprised by progressive behavior between the sexes on soaps". Matt allowing Maggie to practice; Don allowing Marlena to Practice; Stuart Brooks encouraging his daugther, Leslie's, career aspirations; Adam being okay with his wives having careers. But you wouldn't ever do that, would you? You simply want to remind all of us how evil men are, have always been, throghout the history of the world. I would go on about the equal menacing women throughout world history but, well, you will find shitty way of justifying their actions as I condemn the actions they, and men, have done. PS: Your hero, Althea Davis, threw things at her men (you cheer though, I'm sure. Just as I'm sure you would cheer if a woman beat up a little boy but would protest if a man wagged his finger at a little girl for stealing a cookie).

ALL: Terrible but Entertaining Plots
Or as Kay Alden told me about those days "nobody told Bill Bell what to do". She told me that Bill liked to go out of the box at times. He was inspired to do Brad-in-a-cage when he saw her daughter looking at Kay's then - newborn son thru his playpin.

ALL: Always surprised by the casual violence of men toward women in older episodes
People evolve as grow over time. Two of my male cousins viewed women as only sex objects but matured due to a variety of circumstances. On the other hand I was a nutty SJW feminist type but then I realized that most feminists have an asinine saints/sinners view point. You post is the literal definition, perfect example, of what I mean. I'm sure you bitch about men and there "bro's before hoes" thing. Yet, women favor each other more than men.
