Good & Bad Paternity/Maternity Reveals & Changes
I always hated how they treated Lily's conception like it was some hot one-nightstand between Drucilla and Malcolm, but the audience know otherwise. I think they hardly brought up the specifics of it.

I think the issue of this story is that in reality the Q's, Lois, or Sonny would've gotten Linc to sign over Brook Lynn songs back to her by legal/illegal means. The story is beyond terrible and has been going for far too long. It seems Chris and Dan, Dan and Chris aren't sure what to do with Chase and Brook Lynn and other certain characters on canvas.

FreeVee?
P&G is like the greedy kids who want all of their cake but don't want to share despite not having any use for it. On Roku, they have the British Soap Doctors streaming on their network. However, they're only doing two of the latter seasons. I remember a few years ago IMDbTV/FreeVee also had La Law streaming however episodes were missing likely due to music rights. Luckily by the end of the month, Neighbours will be showing 2012- 2022 seasons as well as selected iconic episodes.

Existing Recasts that Another Actor Would Have Excelled In
She or Melinda Clarke were my choices for Phyllis before Gina was hired for the role. And I'm sure Jamie or Melinda wouldn't showcase how bored they're in scenes like a certain actress presently on screen. When Kassie DePaiva was playing Eve on DAYS, I thought in my opinion she would've been better suited as a recast Melissa Horton or even a recast Kristen Forrester-Dominguez on Bold and Beautiful.

Y&R February 2023 Discussion Thread
Allie was a chemist, as she had recently graduated with her master's in chemistry, and she and Ashley were bonding over their shared professions. But, with the Jabot lab likely no longer in operation, I believe we saw her more at Noah's tacky club than at her workplace. Even though they could've shown her walking around the Jabot office set in her lab coat, sharing ideas with Jack, etc.

BOLD promo Katie vs Sheila
As I call this show on Twitter "The Recap and The Beautiful" because it is truly the same thing over and over again. I think somehow Sheila poisoned Bill's necklace, so that is why he is displaying all these emotions of depression. But I feel this story is another waste of everyone's talent. And it shouldn't be the only story on canvas. But there was no buildup or anything about Sheila leeching onto Bill. And don't get me started on Hope and Steffy being affected by fashion critics like it's still 1992. Those critics would likely be on their own blogs or vlogs, but it wouldn't stop people from buying the line altogether. This is all a ploy for Thomas to get back there. Nonetheless, I wish Brad would've done something different by bringing in Felicia to take over Thomas' position. While Thomas decides either to strike out on his own or be snapped up by a new fashion line, i.e., Fashion Nova or the Shein equivalent of the Bell Universe,

You can say the same thing about 95% of this show. A part of me thinks they did because they know they wouldn't have to invest in the character of Fen for the foreseeable future.

Exactly! The man is 50. And I admit Joshua Morrow plays a great father with his on-screen children. But he doesn't need to populate Genoa City anymore.

Y&R 50th Anniversary - your ideas...
I think you probably summed it up. It probably will have Eric, MTS, Peter, Michelle, Christel, MCE, Joshua, Sharon and Christel will probably be on there. For the show's 45th? They had the Glow by Jabot Kids for the Walnut Grove reunion. But with you know who at the helm you may never know.

Underused/Misused Charachters
I remember she and Bryant James had decent chemistry too.

Character connections that were lost.
Sharon and Lily do interact on occasion, but where else but at Crimson Lights?That's why I didn't mind when Neil died and willed Drucilla's jewelry to Sharon, knowing she admired it. though I wished they would have those two and Devon interact more. I also wish they would have Ashley in scenes with Nate since she and Olivia are our best friends. It would undoubtedly go a long way toward humanizing him after the shenanigans he pulled with Devon. Before DD was acting a fool, I wanted scenes with Paul and Nate since he and Nathan were best friends and colleagues for so long too.

Sally Sussman Morina Interview
I couldn't say it better myself. I'm tired of how Josh or CBS thinks we're only interested in the musical chairs of who is in and out as CEO. There's a lot that can be done within the confines of Jabot or Newman to get characters to interact and tell a decent business storyline; perhaps they can rip from the headlines with stories about how certain hair relaxers cause uterine cancer and kidney disease. Maybe Safra or Tuvia products cause this for customers, and they're faced with several lawsuits having characters that work at these companies plot to stop the fallout.

I like Sheila, but it's obvious to me that Bradley doesn't have a set direction for this character. And is just ping-ponging her across the canvas. I wish they will bring one of her daughters onto the canvas and explore those relationships.

Overrated!
I agree with this! I never understood the appeal of "Villy" at all!!! I thought they were wasting Billy Miller with Amelia's Victoria and her anemic performance. I never forget that time when Billy dragged an unkept looking Victoria through a bar to prove to her, he wasn't cheating. Not until episodes of Loving popped up in the last few years, I would never know that Amelia was once so energetic and engaging as an actress. CIN on DAYS: I think Victoria Konefal is beautiful and an engaging presence, but I would've recast Ciara when she left the show. And I think RSW is a handsome guy but the characters he plays, and the way plays them make me ask myself why did they bring him back? That couple went through a decade worth of story in only three and a half years. Both characters needed purpose separately away from each other.

Y&R 50th Anniversary - your ideas...
When she had posted a TBT video of her and Quinn Redeker a month or so back, I commented that I would love to see her back for the 50th and she did like the comment. I would love for her to be featured in some type of way.

I think that's quite obvious, as we see Sharon dispensing advice in an empty Crimson Lights, or as none of these characters have offices anymore to work out of at their respective companies. Most business is conducted in a coffeehouse or a happy hour cocktail lounge. What was Anthony Morina doing with the money? Was it all gone due to licensing fees being slashed, or did the cleaning during the pandemic empty their pockets as well? It's reminding me of when characters on As the World Turns were starting to do business deals at the yacht club and at the Lakeview Towers. To be honest, there are a few characters who could be dropped to save money. I'm curious if this is why there hasn't been a younger generation in the last five years since Moses and Faith were ushered off the canvas. Fen and Ana had the potential to be the next popular young couple with great chemistry, and both actors wanted it to happen, but a lack of creativity stymied their plans, and we all know what happened next. Like others have said on this board, Ashland should've had grown adult children who could've mixed it up with Devon, Lily, Nate, Amanda, Abby, Chance, Sally Adam, etc., not to mention he and Diane should've gotten together to rule Genoa City. But Robert Newman would rather do love letters with Kim Zimmer in a barn in Michigan, and I can't blame him. I think Imani had potential to be the next young, black, ambitious vixen on the show, as she was setting her sights on Nate. However, when Mishael Morgan got her Emmy and decided to leave to go pursue other work, they quickly dismissed Imani and Naya.

For once, can they have Taggert mention not wanting Trina to get involved with Spencer because he doesn't want history to repeat itself like with Gia and Nikolas? They did have him mention that he knows how ruthless the Cassadines can be, but it seems like they want to avoid referring to the past with Trina's aunt and Spencer's father, except for when Trina was revealed to be Taggert's daughter.
