As I previously posted, the plan was to age Cooper, via makeup and prosthetics. But, when Marland died, the plans were scrapped.

Lucinda Walsh's mother, Gloria Keller.

It will be interesting to see how Emma reads opposite Anna; it's her most-important relationship on the canvas. Trina is there as a emotional whipping post for Josslyn. That's her job as a character.

Who knows; it's not like the dialogue being written by Griffith is awe-inspiring. I'd wager Ray Wise & Colleen Zenk dink their teeth into their material, and actually give it some of the power it lacks in-script.

You mean, that's not what this soap has become? The most basic-ass stage play ever?

All because she was living in Los Angeles and, that's the only reason she came back, because of the serial's move to the west coast. She signed a one-year deal, with the option of a second, and opted to not choose the option. From Soap Central (published October 12, 2008): ❝ Now a year into her return, Budig opted not to green-light an option that would have allowed her to stay with the show for another year. The toll of having to lead a bicoastal life -- husband Bob Guiney lives in Los Angeles, where he had Budig settled after her 2006 exit from All My Children -- has become too difficult. ❞

Just be happy she didn't come from the Nelle Benson/Esme Prince/Molly Lansing-Davis 3.0 recast pile of extra long-haired actors.

Could have been her and Carrie doing it but, we can't have nice things, can we?

Yeah, Sheila Ducksworth revealed the promo was pushed to primetime prior to the daytime launch, which is smart. And it's exactly what @Errol said would happen!! It's exciting.

I'm not concerned; even Jason Herbison's words, concerning the upcoming anniversary, are quite positive. I doubt they'd commission a 2025 cast photo if they weren't continuing.

He's mid. Hoping he's someone who grows into the role, and learns from those around him.

Did this tonight, minus the salad... replaced with some rice pilaf! YUM!

Well, the plans were to "age" Cooper with makeup and prosthetic, which would have worked. But, with Marland's passing, we'll never know how it would have gone.

Their tributes are always so beautiful.
