LOL, for real? Too bad the show can't seem to get rid of the blight that is Phil.

In a way it sort of annoys me that Judith Light couldn't bother to return but under Ron, I really can't blame her or anyone for turning it down. I mean, Julianne Moore is certainly more famous (and I adore Judith Light) but she almost couldn't wait to get back on ATWT and say goodbye. That speaks volumes to me. But on the other hand, many actors, while not 'hating' their soap past, have simply moved on. The fact is Judith will almost always be recognized and remembered as Karen, and then Angela, but moreso Karen. Larry shouldn't have been dismissed at all. Wasn't Frank EP at that point? DePaiva also shouldn't have been axed.

They do have more pressing problems. Changing Chelsea to Jennifer Foster doesn't change the poor writing. But all someone made a point about was that instead of endless newbies, why NOT tie them to the past?

Ok

No one's throwing a tantrum.

Keep making these threads all about you.

I enjoy your posts too @vetsoapfan

You disagree. That's fine. Nothing wrong with speculating.

+1 What's the difference between bringing on Chelsea when they could have brought on Jill's niece? Or Cane could have been a Prentiss. It makes no difference IMO.

That's really a shame. What a BS excuse too. One person would cause it to bust at the seams? Please. Awful.

That always bothered me too.

I can get that. She seems, well, sad. I guess is a way to put it. I'll have to go back and see if I can find some clips of the original actress to get a little better of an idea. I ask because I trust your opinion as you've watched a lot more than I have.

As someone with little attachment to the previous Michelle, who isn't coming back and hasn't been on since the 90s, what's so bad about the current actress? She does have a similar look to her, IMO, and she's been back a few days, what are some expecting? I think she comes off a little sad. I've liked her sitting on Arthur's bench and talking to him and wanting him around. I see a sadness and emptiness to her, which is probably where she should be at this point. Let's give it some time.

The Carters to me were the most cringeworthy celebrating the holidays. Why is the family still around? Can anyone tell me what's appealing about Max? The actor is fine but I never found him very interesting. JMO. And I forgot they brought back Jack (I haven't been watching for a while). Another UGH and why?

Well, Michelle did make a call to Mark ...

I don't even watch regularly and can go long stretches but it always seems to be Phil is nasty and ugly and miserable, everyone shuns him, something happens to make them feel sorry for him and then it's all "Poor Phil" ... no? It's wash, rinse and repeat. Aren't viewers sick of this? And Sharon sounded nuts for waxing nostalgic about Phil, JMO. It's so toxic. Are they going for an alcoholism story with Kathy? In two episodes she's seen drinking it up and having a good time. While nothing wrong with that, it seems to be slightly focused on.

I'm not currently watching but just watched the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day episodes. I can't stand that Denise is pregnant by Phil. I mean, WTF? That man doesn't need anymore kids to verbally abuse. And that's all they can write for Denise? Please. I love that they brought Michelle back and it's nice to see Sharon with a friend. The new actress does look a bit similar and since I'm not attached to the old one I liked her a lot. It was hard to really enjoy the holiday cheer because these people are so ugly towards each other most of the time. And they seem to get off on Dot being all alone. I don't. I was glad they all came together at the pub and gave her a washing machine. I haven't followed much but she's losing her eyesight? And Max? EW. I've never got his appeal at all. I did watch a clip of Tanya slapping Stacey over I guess Stacey and Max had an affair back around 2007? I wanted to know why she was all happy to see him so I went searching. I wanted to slap Stacey as she comes off so nasty half the time. Is that supposed to be appealing? LOL. Sometimes this show and their harsh characters and tone kind of depresses me but I may try to watch again.

The first season in 35 days apparently got around 14 million in the 18-49 if I'm not mistaken. I'd imagine the fast renewal means season 2 has seen the same success. But I'm not 100% sure if it was 18-49 or overall viewers. But it's doing quite well

Season 3! Netflix has renewed Fuller House http://deadline.com/2016/12/netflix-renews-fuller-house-for-season-3-1201875685/

I really disliked the trashing of Diane. Susan Walters was OK and worked, but Alex Donnelly was perfection.

Alan, Georgie and Emily were all shock-value plot-driven deaths that never should have happened. I'm less upset over Emily because I was tired of her and Natalia Livingston's quivering but Alan and Georgie should still be alive. AJ's was a mistake as well, all of the times, especially under Ron's pen. Although at least that had SOME follow through, with Michael accepting his spot in the Q's and hating Sonny, but the stans cried and we all know what happened there

Brash and Cwickly were surprisingly good for DAYS. I was so upset when they got sacked and we got Higley. I had some hope for Reilly but then it all went downhill. As someone who started watching under Reilly, I was beyond upset at his return and how bad it was. He also turned Passions into utter trash at the same time. Say what you will about Passions, and while it was out there in the beginning, 1999-2001 for Passions was a very different show than the last few years. I don't know what happened. Clearly he just didn't care and threw whatever stuck at the wall, but nothing stuck. I was hoping MarDar would be somewhat of an inbetween of Reilly and Brash/Cwickly. I think they had good intentions but after a few months I don't know what happened. They weren't as bad as some want to say they were IMHO.

I haven't watched since Jade's death. I hate they killed her off and now I read they killed off Celine. Another mistake. I enjoy the show but it's a little too quick to kill off people. It's sometimes just a bit too plot driven but I guess that's what also drags me in ...

OMG they brought back Duane ("whatever") and Viper! LOL And it was great seeing Gia again too

I STILL miss Nicolle.
