  1. I'm sure they did, especially in those earlier days of filming.
  2. Maura West has gone on record, multiple times, stating on how horrible her experience (especially once fired) was on that set, and how poorly the sets were in terms of their shape. If I recall, she mentioned the Athletic Club was "falling apart". Her casting, if I recall, was brought on by CBS/Sony wanting her to stay at CBS, and there were plans for a Diane recast, so they stepped in and put her into the role. And while I loved her as Diane, it was obvious from day one: there was no plan for her to be long-term in the role. In January 2014, via Michael Fairman TV: ❝ This is a complete 180 from your last soap role as Diane Jenkins on The Young and the Restless. And I can say, unfortunately, the writing of her was so bad. MAURA: I can say it, too. Being on GH has absolutely been a breath of fresh air, and to have people who encourage you, that uplift you, it makes all the difference in the world. How can you do a job where nobody is saying, “I see something. Let’s mine that.” That other thing, I don’t even remember that. It’s not something I even think about, although when I tell my husband that, in fairness he will say, “Don’t you do that. You can call up any episode on that show, on You Tube, or anywhere, and you can be proud of what you did there.” I understand that, but sometimes in life you block things out. (Laughs) But to be here at GH, and have such a supportive producing team, and talented writers who understood Ava, and understood me, Maura, rather quickly, is a real gift. It’s magic. ❞ In September 2013, she had this to say (and it speaks V O L U M E S), via Michael Fairman TV (originally via TV Guide's Michael Logan): ❝ Maura on how her stint on Y&R didn’t last so long as Diane Jenkins: “Honestly, I was at Y&R so briefly that I don’t even think about it! (Laughs) I must have blocked it out! Sometimes I’ll see a magazine article where they’ll say Maura West and in parentheses they have “ex-Carly ATWT” and “ex-Diane Y&R” and I’ll go, “Huh?” I met some wonderful people at Y&R but that experience is not something my heart aches over, not something I miss at all.” ❞
  3. It's a promising sign it's been sent to primetime/non-daytime broadcasts.
  4. Per SOD: B&B may be fully or partially preempted on Tuesday, January 7, and/or Thursday, January 9, for CBS News coverage of the official state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter. No word on GH or Y&R, however, it seems both may not be preempted.

  7. 😍 2010 was the ultimate gift to us, haha.
  8. Absolutely, especially when hints and speckles were dropped when Lexi Ainsworth was making her then-unknown final appearances in the role, opposite Eden McCoy's Josslyn, etc.
  9. Wish I still had Hulu so I would watch La Law, as Rose Nylund called it.
  10. The poor excuse of an "actor" should never be hired again; he can't act, unlike Carson Boatman. Plus, he looks like a 'roid head.
  11. As much as I distrust the "writer," I fully trust Michele Val Jean & Sheila Ducksworth.
  12. 58 and killing it. Today's girlies could and would never.
  13. He's a breakdown writer; he won't be writing shït outside of outlines for the scripts, thankfully. The script writing belongs to Jazmen Darnell Brown, Cheryl L. Davis, Danielle Paige and Judy Tate, all people of colour!
  14. Yes, April 23, 1997, was Michael Zaslow's final appearance as Roger Thorpe. Dennis Parlato succeeded him from May 1, 1997, to March 16, 1998. I'm disappointed Zaslow, outside of being treated so poorly by production, that he was unable to work under the pen of Barbara Esenstein & James Harmon Brown, although the work Parlato was given felt... very different to what I feel Zaslow could have either been given, or could have done with the material that was written and viewed.
  15. In 2018, the state funeral of George H. W. Bush lasted around four and a half hours, so I'd wager [most, if not] all of the daytime lineup that day will be pre-empted.
