They may not be related or maybe Willow didnt tell Diane her legal name

They wouldn’t have two Millers interacting if they weren’t related. They’d use another lawyer like Scotty. 

What do you have against them being related, anyway?

The way Passions was when it ended no it wont especially in the Metoo movement

It was talked about at the fan event in 2017. The cast is down.

I have to say, I enjoyed her tenure at Y&R. I started watching again with her first big story, Marge & Kay 2.0.

I love that she brought back Nina and write for her. I liked that Chance was back. I loved that Ronan was her long lost son. And I especially loved that Phillip was alive and gay. 

I also liked that she reunited Danny and Cricket and had Cricket find out that Phyllis was the hit and run driver.

Maria did many questionable things like getting rid of Vail Bloom, but overall I was entertained daily by her Y&R. I stopped watching when Griffith and Phelps got rid of Nina but did tune in for Kay and Neil’s memorial episodes.

Sure

I am sure. There’s more than one JER fan in the world.

Marlenaphan posted here years ago under RionPassions and had the same JER obsession.

 

It's nice to see some things haven't changed...

No I didn’t. 

So they just had an entire episode with Willow and Diane and they didn’t make their connection clear at all. This show!

Ron's writing is crap, so that makes sense.

I like his writing. He writes Days the way it’s supposed to be written, unlike Tomlin and Higley.

As for a Passions revival, I doubt it will happen but it’s fun to think about where these characters are now.

Just now, John said:

That was because JER started that wave of stories. It took a long time before Days took a break from the sci-fi

She wrote in his style. That’s why I liked her writing. That’s what my post said. 

Thankfully, Days has re-embraced the sci fi stories again under Ron.

Sussman-Mornia is not like jER at least when JER on Passions/Days

 

Yes she was. Go back and watch Sally’s Days. She’s the one who put the microchip in Hope’s brain to turn her into Princess Gina.

Annnnd blocked.

I do. Far from perfect, but far from Passions, which was trash.

Not a fan of Agnes or Irna or Douglas or Bill. Just JER and those who write in his style: Langan, Sussman-Morina, Carlivati, Brash/Cwikly.

Just now, Vee said:

 

I do.

Not well.  

I just finished listing why they were awful.

Oh, you just hate Passions. Okie doke.

Ok  Maybe that part but the whole Daniel & Carly being Melanie's parents were Tomsell

I never said anything about that. I’m talking about how crappy MarDar were at Days, and why they wouldn’t be good for a Passions revival.

Could be nothing. Emma Caulfield already played a role named Lorraine Miller in the 1996-97 who was a nurse at Mercy but that Lorraine & this one (Harmony) are probably different characters

 

Same last names dont mean  relation

Considering Diane is part of Kali’s story, I’d say it’s not nothing.

Just now, John said:

The whole melanie/Daniel/Maggie story was started under Gary Tomlin & Chris Witesell

No. The parentage of Daniel was part of Alice’s secrets, MarDar’s first big story. 

I can’t speak to AMC because I never watched that bland, boring show or the online version. I do remember Marlene threatening to sue Days fans on twitter around the time the show won an Emmy for the Daysaster, lol

Diane has a brother?

Either a brother, or Harmony is her sister. Harmony and Kali (Willow) are Millers like Diane.

I liked the MarDar Days. Yes it was slow but For one I thought slow was the right way with Will's coming out

Yes Marlene's HWing at AMC was very good

MarDar was very destructive to characters and couples (Jack/Jennifer, Carrie/Austin). They started stories that went nowhere. Madison, Ian, and Cameron were horrid new additions.  Billie’s return was a waste. They made Daniel Maggie’s son and gave him, Melanie, and Victor Horton family ornaments. They contradicted onscreen history to retroactively marry John and Hope, thus undoing two supercouple marriages. John’s return story was boring and nonsensical (stealing pensions? Lol!). The safehouse explosion story was excruciatingly bad. Hope turned back into Gina for no reason. The Stefano murder mystery was lame (a dozen suspects ALL touched the murder weapon? They ALL confronted him the same night and never ran into each other?).

My God, it was bad. I was expecting JER 3.0 and was served a bowl of warm dog crap instead.

Oh, the murders will be undone once Days realizes Cin isn’t catching on outside their niche fanbase. They have to know there is pushback against this coupling.

It’s great to see Diane again. I wonder if her brother is Willow’s father. Connecting this lame character to a familiar face like Diane makes her a smidgen more bearable.

Just now, Vee said:

Yes, they wrote a better show both there and (one half of them) at AMC.

You mustn’t remember the MarDar year.

And to see what would've happened, who would've taken over as head writer after JER's death

  Oh hell no! Firstly I don’t think he would have had the surgery that killed him if Passions was still going. Secondly, Passions was his baby. I would not have watched with someone else writing. Not even his protégés MarDar could write in his style, as we saw when they took over Days.

Well I think the problem with Eve is that Kassie is so bad in the role and a total miscast, plus Eve herself is evil now too, like Benny Boy.

I actually prefer Shiloh as a character to Jason or Sonny. 

It “ended up” great, lol. The DirecTV year was when JER’s vision became fully realized. I loved the final episode with Tabitha’s baptism and Theresa and Ethan’s wedding. The perfect ending! I just wish DirecTV had given it one more season to wrap up some loose ends and finish at an even ten years. 

I hope they’ll bring the actor back as Shiloh’s twin.

Just now, John said:

I am surprised she lasted the entire run of Passions

Why? They worked well together.
