Liberty City

I always get why the sixth season gets the flak it gets because of how dark and real it was. But I do think that's what made it as brilliant as it was. But yes, Joss will likely never be involved again, especially if they want Sarah Michelle Gellar involved. Taken from her interview with Vulture: She has gone on record stating it is not her favourite because she found it too dark and that it betrayed the core of who Buffy was as a character and often cites that she cannot rewatch the season and did not enjoy the production aspect of it. Which is why season seven righted the "wrongs" of the sixth season. From her interview with Vogue:

Ignore them at this point. Save yourself the unnecessary headache. I can understand that, but I also suspect TPTB are not rushing to use their budget re-up this go 'round, which I believe is smart. Do I suspect the clinic could pop up at some point? Yes. Do I think it's a necessity? No.

I have a different perspective; I always pictured him as Peter Blake on Days of Our Lives. Plus, we do not need former actors returning to this soap. Let's leave that in the past!

I doubt even the Jesus Network wants him. He seems happy focusing on his kids' swimming careers. Trust me, I think anyone who tried using religion in the way both Burton and Rademacher did is a moron. I don't think being anti-vax is acceptable at all. But yes, he did walk the line very carefully. He wasn't dumb in blaming ABC for violating his rights or making derogatory statements against cast members of the soap he was leaving. He made it known he knew his choice could have resulted in the result he got, and he accepted that publicly. Now, whether privately he said otherwise, we don't know. But he knew not to bite the hand(s) that fed him. Rademacher was in hot water even more over the vaccine mandate when he was beyond homophobic and transphobic, especially regarding Cassandra James (Terry), and then tried to cover it up by saying he allowed his sons to wear dresses at Disneyland, as if that excused his poor behaviour. And the fact Disney ABC did not fire him for that was unacceptable, especially given the stance the network took regarding Roseanne Barr's racist rant on Twitter at the time, as well. Additionally, his support for the terrorist attacks on January 6th revealed everything we needed to know about him.

Ding ding ding.

I don't think Dingo realises that Steve got rehired because he kept his mouth shut. He didn't sh*t-talk his former employer, and he understood the consequence of his decision, etc.

It gives, "This is my style and my taste, and I have the money to afford it now." Especially given her 'career' as a conperson. That's just what it is offering. Like when people go and buy those tchotchkes all the time.

As of March 2025, a judge denied his claim to reopen his lawsuit against Disney ABC, after he tried using Steve Burton's rehiring as a reason for reinstating the lawsuit. But Dingo is insistent he will prevail or some b.s. like that.

I think it is meant to be taken as tacky, or as Hayley's idea of what 'taste' should be.

Is it the best set? No. Is it as awful as everyone wants to make it out to be? No. It certainly fits Hayley's personality; the only thing I would do is change the couch's colour from magenta to maybe olive green or something a bit more complementary to the space. If anything, it should be the colour of the chair by the archway, and then I would make the chair magenta as the 'accent' piece.

Give us Jerry back. 🤣

IIRC, lawsuits have been done for some time. But I am sure ABC isn't rushing to recast anytime soon to prove their point that there was no intention to recast.

I agree; I adored them as a pairing, but a certain someone had to be a nasty, no-good piece of shït and ruin it.

I cannot stand Kat.

We don't need Jax and Ingo will never return.... Lmao.

Well, now knowing it's likely not the script used for the final 90-minute pilot, I am sure other changes were made. But based on the script, I think it was a solid pilot that harkened back to the first season.

She discusses her origins on All My Children in the beginning.

Credits for Tuesday, March 17, 2026: Created by: Frank & Doris Hursley Executive producer: Frank Valentini Head writers: Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten Writers: Micah Steinberg; Stacey Pulwer and Cathy Lepard Director: Gary Tomlin

Maxine Conway (Wentworth)

original release date: Tuesday, March 17, 2026 | writers: Teresa Zimmerman, Judy Tate | director: Steven Williford Thoughts: JFC Dana... it is not like YOU are working, either. You have been busy planning a wedding for March 2027 that may not take place. Pathetic. Good on Derek for holding his own against her. Good job, Katherine. You are right: this is none of your business. Back down and focus on your miserable life for once. I love that the sight of her naked husband immediately improves Dani's state of mind. And I do not blame her one bit. Go on, girl, enjoy your man (while he is still yours to enjoy)! Dr Monica has her eyes fixated on Kial like she is about to work her magic for both herself and Shanice... if only she knew. If only... Lia is no-nonsense. It is not Ashley's fault that there are not enough staff in your hospital to handle the demand. Wake up, ma'am. Good for Ashley for not revealing the nurse's identity (although she may be persuaded to do so). Good 👏🏻 on 👏🏻 Eva 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 calling 👏🏻 out 👏🏻 her 👏🏻 mother 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 her 👏🏻 tomfoolery. Dr Monica seems to love all of the tea she is getting from Shanice about the happenings at Garland Memorial. I applaud Ashley for taking that lashing from Lia the way that she did. She is doing her best, and that is the best she can do. Dana frequently crosses boundaries, and I appreciate the effort Ted has taken to confront her. Someone might have to commit her. Get her, Dr Monica. GAG HER! Yass!! Notes: Outstanding work from Zimmerman, Tate, and Williford today. They brought everything to life. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thoroughly. The episode's character interactions were refreshingly varied. Not everyone was stuck with the same character the whole episode. It was lovely. Despite my annoyance with Dana, Trisha Mann-Grant, who portrays her, excels in her role and clearly enjoys it. The men on this soap need to UNBUTTON their suit jackets when they sit down. For the love of God, UNBUTTON YOUR JACKETS!

Because one executive never finished the original series, made sure they knew it, and ultimately is the one who nixed it after reworking the pilot to a 90-minute one.

Craig Erwich is the executive who shut it down. More information about various topics is available via Deadline Hollywood:

But there are on this soap, because there have to be rules. C'mon now. You know that.
