That's a shame she was treated that way. There sounds like lots of drama BTS on most soaps back in the 80s. Alcohol, drugs, egos, I'm sure ... I had always wondered why she gave up Beth to play Adrienne, cut from similar cloths. She does well in that kind of role but it felt a little redundant. It makes sense now, of course, why she left GL. Meanwhile, I'm watching June 1992 of GL. Lots of it I've seen, some it's new to me. Had no idea they paired Fletcher and Vanessa? I had to of known that. Did I block it out? They have like 0 chemistry and they ALWAYS tried too hard with Fletcher, IMO. Meh. (I also feel like they try too hard with Eve and Hillary Edson and way too much Vincent Irizarry as much as I love him). Also imagine Kinkead was getting frustrated playing mother hen to "poor Melinda". I can see why McKinsey was over the show. Alexandra's "power" was stripped away over time, IMO. I'm growing to like Mallet and Harley. I hated watching him in the wheelchair for whatever reason. I notice a lot of Reilly-isms (like Alan-Michael laser focused on Eleni and nothing but, etc), but it's nice to have it more layered, more depth, and I credit the rest of the writers for that. Blake and Ross is hot as hell. It's a shame they became so boring once Liz Keifer came onboard. They seemed to want to neuter the 'bad girls'. Jenna in her return 1996-1998 was like a different character. I LOVE early Jenna. So much fun. The humor. Eddie Mekka. Her exchange with Nadine at the non-wedding was hilarious and getting stuck with Michelle then adds layers to her. I miss that kind of writing. Not a popular opinion but I think Ed and Lillian had great chemistry. I LOVE Maureen with Roger. It's a real shame they didn't go there. I love the dialogue they have about Holly and how Ross and Ed coddle her. Roger also pointed out Maureen wanted to kill the woman but not the man and wondered why. Love it. 1993 doesn't do the show any favors. I really like a lot of what's going on in 1992.

lol at this thread!

Yes. I've thought about that a lot after seeing Robin on ATWT. It would have worked great. I liked Phillip and Olivia too. Often times chemistry is because the actors dislike each other, lol. So it worked. Still not entirely sure what went down between GA/CC. Wasn't it rumored/confirmed Judi Evans had issues with GA too? I mean, like all of us in life with the people we meet, not everyone will vibe or get along.

It was so mind boggling they fired her. AND NEVER brought her back. Hope was NEVER brought back. And then you had a bunch of similar aged women running around. It was so stupid. I kind of notice they had a tendency to dump someone and slot someone else in. Maeve dies, here comes Holly, etc.

She also had issues on DAYS. Yet she also had a ton of friends there. So ... it can go both ways, lol. I'd hang out with both her and Zimmer as they get drunk and spill the tea ... It's really sad so many leading ladies have "issues" with each other, that are likely blown vastly out of proportion.

I see what you mean. Sadly, of course he's right about the media (but he feeds into it and let's not pretend he doesn't say false stuff on the regular and isn't a self-serving moron). I see it everyday. I'm beyond turned off by the media and the talking heads and I see the different agendas being hammered home, getting everyone online in a tizzy. No one is innocent here, both sides turn me off for multiple reasons. They can ALL kick rocks. Anywho ... let's get back on track.

It's called hyperbole (on Khan's part). I'm sure Khan is aware. Everyone is making jokes about it.

+1 He actually looks better than he did 10 years ago when he started on GH.

Same Love the contrast as well. Sharon Case was definitely green. I also wonder if it's how she chose to play Sharon. Maybe a mix of both. I miss Karen Hensel as Doris and Crazy Phyllis. I always lol when I see Karen Hensel on Mama's Family as Olga. I remember watching in 1998 and just not really caring much about the Nina/Ryan/Victoria/Cole quad. It still rings true watching this episode. Meh. But I love Tricia Cast and Heather Tom so they act circles around the men.

So tired of seeing folks being targeted on YouTube. Why can't we have nice things?

Most likely, lol.

LOL exactly

He's her husband so it was probably Locher wanting to be nice and include him. Lindstrom was also on ATWT. So ... it kinda works.

All of this. I mean, seriously all of us sitting here can do a better job ... just sayin' And yes on Signy. She should have been a new character, I liked her on the show but no to Annie. Wasn't it ultimately meant as shock value she was Annie because they likely had no idea what to do with Teri? Or am I mis-remembering. Because that's how it came across. This sort of answers my confusion on her role. I really don't buy she was meant to be Annie from the start but who knows?

Yep. I agree on Miller. I was thrilled when he left and of course he showed up on GH. He and Heinle together was ... yikes. And that's exactly what's missing from all four soaps left. Especially Y&R.

It would have. Though I'd have wanted Watros to play it out.

Annie should have been the Nursery Rhyme Stalker.

Same. I hate Billy/Victoria. I liked Chloe and Billy as well. On paper it made sense. Esther's daughter and Jill's son together should be driving years and years of story. Sigh. I think some people just don't or didn't care for Billy Miller so they don't understand the interest in the couple, I guess.

Oh yes, thanks for reminding me. I keep forgetting about that.

lol same here. But then I thought about it and I'll take anything still from 2004 over the last 10 years. THIS. Interesting it seems they're, as of now, skipping 1998-2003, right? Which would be Alden's tenure ... maybe I'm reading into it too much, lol

Yasssssss! I've been waiting for this one!

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm Team Zimmer too. LOL. You said it all better than I did though. AGREED on Cassie. The writing was often so lackluster for her.

She flees PV or gets an offer she can't refuse. She already has ties with Angie. It wouldn't be a stretch but the shows were already becoming a mess by 1996/1997 so it's probably for the best. I do think it could have benefitted the show more but there's not much interesting The City, IMO. Watching the first week's episodes on YouTube and it's kind of a snooze.

Definitely. And depending where we are on testing, it's not out of the realm everyone gets a test before going into the building. Who knows where we will be in the next few months with this? B&B relies a lot on making out and sex so it'll be interesting to see how they pull it off. I think they need to come up with some kind of gameplan (not saying they aren't but we haven't heard anything at all). Not sure why they can't wear masks behind the camera and social distance in a few months from now. They can do their own makeup and hair (many do) and wardrobe. Space people out on camera. It could be awkward at first but they have to figure out something.

THIS And personally I can't see LW and KZ meshing well as people. They seem very different yet also kind of similar in many ways (another example, like how Chappell and Zimmer are a lot alike in terms of their personality and didn't get along). But time changes things. I think Watros appreciated Zimmer but Zimmer was jealous. She was 'the star' (no doubt Paul Rauch feeding her ego) and Watros was getting a lot of the spotlight and Reva was written either nasty or stupid. I can see it.
