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.

Not really. I saw Laura nodding in agreement. I doubt Laura enjoyed Kim's pushy personality though.

I really wish I had saved my magazines.

Yep! It sure has.

Same. They COULD be kind of clever about it, should they so choose. But it could likely only last so long. They kinda have to come up with something. Social distancing seems possible. I'd rather they not address the situation itself on the soaps though, personally, but they may have to. Not sure. DAYS doesn't need to worry about it, LOL.

I never knew that about OLTL/Kevin. That sucks. Would have loved it. Daytime has burned several good actors/actresses.

I agree with all of this, but I also felt they basically swapped Andy out for Jake McKinnon and Tom Eplin in terms of story. Andy should have been paired with Molly. He was gone in 2000, so they overlapped a bit but still ... Hogan likely had no use for him. DeFreitas and later Holroyd being dumped always pissed me off.

Not a bad idea. Hopefully they can pull it off. Maybe easier for a half hour show. I can see B&B doing similar things. But who knows?

I love hearing anything I can about this show. Like James, it's always fascinated me and I've wanted to watch the full run. I watch whatever I can on YouTube. It's been nice to have the Loving murders. As well as the first week of The City to watch. I was always bummed SoapNet never aired it.

Yep. This. MADD was the problem. Not that Goutman didn't suck ass of course ... like soapsuds said, it was MADD who dumped him. But considering Andy never returned under Goutman it does open the question up ... Still not sure why they dumped Scott Holroyd for awful one note Roger Howarth.

Aw

I'm a bad soap fan. I had no idea they were sister-in-laws! lol

Agreed on the roles for older women in the industry, but to be fair LAD booked B&B a few years later and was on there for several years until Brad got bored.

Yes! Hopefully more are to come. Seems like Alan's actively working to get whoever and anybody he can so that's good. lol. I'd also like to circle back around to other actors who've already participated but with different folks. Lots of opportunities here. I do imagine some actors aren't into the whole thing and maybe don't have or understand how to participate but I hope he starts digging deeper.

That's good to hear about Sandra and Matt keeping in touch with her (or that they did). Sounds like Beverlee was talking about Vicky Wyndham ... lol.

Agreed
