Terrible as Greenlee but I can see her as Michelle Bauer. WOO HOO!!! Holy cow Elvera Roussel and Denise Pence? AND Michael Tylo? I've died. I was hoping for Denise Pence too. I remember her being active on YouTube. Hopefully Lisa will be. Unfortunately though I think a lot of the older actors aren't necessarily YouTube/internet savvy. Not saying that applies to her, but a lot goes into these chats, LOL. So I think we may need to remember that when we wonder about where someone is. I'm crossing my fingers she's a surprise like Anna Holbrook was. I was over the moon to see Holbrook. HOW DO THESE SOAP STARS NOT AGE? Elizabeth Hubbard, Anna Holbrook, etc. all look FABULOUS.

I had to think about it for a few minutes, lol. Really hard to believe the show's been dead since 1999. 21 years this summer. Wow.

Yeah it seemed to be a trope they liked to use, for whatever reason. Makes sense in terms of giving her something meaty to dig into. But then he did it again with Michael. Yikes, lol. I was just yesterday watching B&B from that time. Seems cruel to do the 'virgin gets raped' but life can be, unfortunately, cruel.

Kinda ... weird ... to put it mildly. They did one around 97/98 I remember. The Cassie storyline. DAYS had three. I'd love to seem at later times, I think more of an audience could be there, but now it's taken up by news, news and more news.

Yikes. Why did Bill Bell have his daughter's on-screen character raped TWICE?

Exactly! You know Brad loves his Brooke vs Stephanie fetish. I did find it curious they don't list Ronn Moss in the episodes but Thorsten Kaye, even though it was Moss at the time in some of them. What are they going to do digitally replace him? LOL. Yet they list Kim Matula and point out she's played by Annika Noelle now. Weird. They think we're all too stupid to know or remember when they were played by someone else apparently. I think Brad's frequent cast changes over the decades is kind of biting him in the behind at the moment.

THIS! It's live on YouTube. The Locher Room on YouTube. This is the link to it: It's definitely live, lol

lol I forgot about that but yes. They had to be in on the joke, lol. I thought she did too. Or it died or something. I remember Sharlene returning to comfort her. I think we all do that sometimes with actors and actresses, lol. That's true on Joe. I would have killed Joe in the fire or like you said have Tito kill Joe. The actor didn't really bother me but Joe and Paulina were snoozeville and I just didn't like him with her and the writing for Paulina either. I liked him in family scenes, which is what I say about Rafe on DAYS. I just didn't like the angry shouty man thing the soaps adopted in the late 90s.

At lot of things didn't quite work. I do seem to recall lots of interference. Claire was out then back then out. Who knows the real story?? It was messy. I could never see Labine and Rauch ever being on the same page. It was a weird pairing from the start.

I think it would have worked better that way. It does appear they wanted to build towards Eve/Nick. And then ... she gets with Ed. LOL. The potential was definitely there with Eve. I actually think so.

Ah yes I do remember Taggart FINALLY playing on Bill/Michelle but I never cared much about Nancy's Michelle. At all.

Agreed lol. And I just love his website, he did a really great job.

http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ That's his website. I'm trying to find his "Eddietorials" link, they're a good read. EDIT: http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/eddietor.html

I can agree with this on Fletcher. I think he worked better as a supporting character in the community. Never felt 'needed' but GL was often a 'character' show. They really [!@#$%^&*] on the character in the end of his run. Me neither on Ben. It was disgusting. I also thought it was so great seeing Michelle, Bill and Ben as friends. Wasn't that kind of lost when Ben came on as Matt Bomer? I was on/off watching at the time. I forgot he talked to Bill. That was nice.

YEP! It was SO contrived. I love Eddie Drueding's tirades against Jill. Entirely spot on and perfectly stated.

I hated Joe Carlino. LOL. I shouldn't let that reflect on the actor but I sometimes do. Carlson was such a different Josie but I know she was popular. She was also on Blue Bloods until they dumped her and killed her character I believe (off-screen in a plane crash, of course). It's interesting how often women are sacrificed and replaced but not the men (a trend on soaps I'm starting to pick up on ...) Looking back it's like they wanted Josie to be the Harley of AW, the female cop with the tough guy cop (Gary/Mallet). Just an observation.

Agreed. I do think they have had way too many cast changes over the last two decades but they can pull off theme weeks IMO. Like you said, focus on episodes that have a lot of Brooke, Taylor, Eric, Stephanie. Sally Spectra/Darlene Conley. Sheila and Lauren were both on B&B for years obviously, lol so they could be included. It could work. I think most fans are smart enough to 'get it'.

Alan Locher has finally scheduled an ANOTHER WORLD reunion! Linda Dano, Stephen Schnetzer, Amy Carlson and Joe Barbara are participating. I'm happy about the first three. Thursday, April 30th @ 2pm https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/another-world-online-reunion/

Oh. I am. You know that. I think he's checked out at times on DAYS but honestly who could blame him. He can't even show any of his actual personality it seems. Look at the above. If anyone rewatched early Wilson it's truly like night and day. Anywho ...

RIGHT? FINALLY. Damn. B&B kinda has no choice but to start digging into the vault.

Quoted you twice but yeah there is some decent stuff in 1994. But again it's a lot of Jill showcasing her stars (Lucy, Nick, Tangie).

There are times I don't mind Fletcher and almost like him but then ... MEH. I did enjoy him with Alexandra but the writing sometimes did the character of Fletcher no favors. Soaps really seemed to enjoy the angry shouty, sanctimonious man who yelled at a strong woman. (Ross falls in this trap, IMO, around 96/97) And LOL he sure did get around. Damn did he have a lot of relationships. I don't really see any chemistry between Fletcher and Vanessa. I don't mind Eve and I love Hillary Edson but from what I started watching it was just a little "how wonderful she is" and they try a little too hard, but I've always been a fan of her as an actress. It was amusing watching Ed interview for a job at Cedars knowing that in the future they get together. Just a lot of focus on a new character played by a soap hopper. Just an observation. I guess they had to establish her. Oh my God, yes! So much. I saw some of that but not the entire story yet. I also see a lot of fakeouts. Blake's dream of Holly walking in on her and Ross in bed. Then you have Holly and Ross talking about Blake and he thinks Holly's talking about him and Blake having sex but of course it was about Blake's questions to him (she covered his press conference and asked what he did the night of the blackout, LOL. This Blake is SO much fun). I know they're soap tropes and Reilly WAY overdid it, but I see it. However the entire writing staff was so talented and it was pulled off, but I see shades. Also Little Bill so damn focused on his mom and dad reuniting. It reminds me of Reilly too, with Shawn-Douglas on DAYS and other kids he wrote for. I get it ... but still. He beats you over the head with it. And the huge "true love" thing, etc. Just lots of little things I notice. But the writing staff, again, is able to pull it off. I wonder exactly how much influence he had. Seems like a lot. Exactly this. Bridget and Nadine were very much up Reilly's wheelhouse. Yes. I despise The Buzz Hour (it was also "The Lucy Hour" and currently seems like "The Nick Hour" IMO, but I love Irizarry so I'll give it a pass). It just gets worse as the years go on. Jenna was ruined with him, IMO. Nola was wasted on him. At least he and Kim Zimmer had some weird sexual thing going between them that worked. I see a lot of "look at me" scenes with Mark Derwin but he's less obnoxious for the most part. But a lot of shouting and attention (similar to Buzz, IMO). I feel like it's Jill showcasing her 'stars'. You can see what she does too all over the show but it really hits in 93/94 it seems. I see her kinda pushing Hillary Edson, Vincent Irizarry, Rick Hearst. They're all great but the show spends a LOT of time on them where I'm at in July 1992. It's sad because the show is so entertaining, even when it's moving slower, and they have a ton of characters and lots going on. Lots of different ways they can go with storylines. It's a shame Jill slowly seemed to dismantle it.

Well that's good. And LOL that it still beats GH/DAYS. Curious to see how a full week does Yeah, hopefully they do well.

Yep, I can see it too. Agreed, no excuses, but there's likely a lot of factors for their behavior. I can only hope they learned from it. I mean, even Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso had issues with each other on DAYS. Young, arrogant, etc. budding stars with lots of pressures to succeed. Sometimes when someone lashes out it's a reflection of themselves.

I'm so excited for 1981! I'd love this too. Aren't the classic reruns doing pretty good though?
