Liberty City

That is every day on this soap. 🤣

Happy to see Crew and Heather on top. Just a shame it isn't Joshua Morrow and Heather together! I miss their chemistry as siblings.

date: Monday, December 1, 2025 | Christopher Dunn, Lynn Martin | Michael V. Pomarico Vanessa, being a Madame looks good on you. I just hope Gloria and Calliope appreciate what you are doing for them. Oh no. What cheque did Bradley just discover? It cannot be good if he is that taken aback! Oh, a cheque from Joey. Damn Derek, calm your oversized t*ts. My goodness. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the firehouse cot. You can sense the true respect that Vernon had for Bill and that it is missing from Bill's world because of his choice to leave his marriage to Dani. Well, it looks like Gloria and Calliope did not like the insinuation of Vanessa's offer. No bueno. Bradley is brave to confront Joey about the cheque he wrote for Martin's campaign, and I feel like this will not end in a good way. Dani is absolutely shook at Vanessa owning the escort business she used to employ men from. Aw, it is heartbreaking seeing Vernon so hurt by Bill's exit from the family. You can tell he truly cared about his former son-in-law. I understand Derek's upset... but he is coming off like a hot-headed piece of trash right now. He has no right to act in the way he is right now. there is a right way and a wrong way, and he has chosen the wrong way. Vanessa is cracking to those she believes she can trust with cracking, and one of those people happens to be Dani. The way Vernon speaks to Bill is how a father who is disappointed in their son speaks to their son. That is true love right there. Genuinely. Notes: Excellent script work today by Dunn and Martin. I like their pairings as breakdown and scriptwriter, respectively. The chem-testing with Ernestine Johnson (Shanice) and Keith D. Robinson (Ted) is working on me. I could see it actually happening. That final shot of Jon Lindstrom's Joey was effective. Normally, when he moved, the camera would.. but the camera stayed still. Brilliant choice by Pomarico.

It won't come. Not unless ratings/demos tank, which they are not.

Imagine trying to present facts and not even being able to do it right (Grimes appeared three times in October, not "0"); they should stick to complaining about sets like it's the end of the world. Overall, the top three make me very happy. And it's nice seeing Lucas Adams get some well-deserved airtime. He has settled into the role of Noah so naturally. Thank you @YRfan23 for presenting the counts. You do an outstanding job!

See, in clips I've seen, I didn't hate Rattray. I liked her more cold, adult-like take on Lily. And I feel like it's what the character needed. As for Hensley and Byrne, I think the writers did their best, truly. Had Marland been there, I do think it would have been more... effective. At the same time, I do think Byrne was not equipped for the Damian storyline.

So excited for a full-week of this soap!! So good!

Honestly, I would have loved to have seen Judith Baldwin return to the role. I actually preferred her over Burnett. But yes, the character of Beth was always doomed, and I do feel killing her off was a wrong choice. She definitely was cast right into the role but I fully understand why she was not well received. I also don't think it was the right time for Lois to return, either. Yes, Kristen was fired when she was suffering from complications of thyroid issues. Makes me wonder why Edwards either didn't just stay in the role or ask to return. It was a choice decision, especially when Kristen ended up returning two years later. I loved Landon as Heather; honestly, it might have been the only time I liked the role. She fit right in, came in as a reinvigorated version of the role, and she had amazing chemistry with Michael Graziadei's Daniel. Yes, the regime change did not help her situation, but I do remember a lot claiming they still wanted Bloom back in the role. It was a CBS choice, as CBS wanted to keep West there and she took it, but it was painfully obvious, despite TPTB's decision to recast the role (per West's own admission), that there was no intent on doing anything with the character. But I love and adore West, and she turned shït into gold as best she could. And she did have some strong opinions about the set/cast, etc., but I also think it was a learning experience nonetheless, and she was offered a role and took it out of fear of not getting anything else after 15 years in one role on a now-defunct soap. And I agree: she had insane chemistry with Joshua Morrow's Nick (something that is now ignored). West is a chemistry magnet and she had plenty of chemistry with several cast members on that soap, despite everything.

I agree; I do wish they had reached out to Pirie to say, "Hey, we want to bring Tina on for a few episodes, would you be open and available?"

As the World Turns Heather Rattray and Noelle Beck as Lily Walsh Snyder: In 1989, successful recast Martha Byrne chose to leave the role of Lily and was recast with Rattray, who was deemed 'cold' in the role. In 1993, prior to his passing, Douglas Marland was successful in returning Byrne to the role, which co-star Jon Hensley welcomed following what he described as a 'difficult' recast with Rattray. Byrne's second exit in 2008, due to a contract dispute, brought Beck into the role; however, reception was chilly. While she may have won over some of the audience by the conclusion of the soap in 2010, fans still desired for Byrne to return one final time. Beck even opted to drop to recurring status and offered to step out of the role to allow for Byrne to return prior to the finale, but this was nixed by executive producer Chris Goutman, who stated there were no plans for Byrne to return to the role. The Bold and the Beautiful Marla Adams and Robin Riker as Beth Logan: Following the successful recast of Nancy Burnett in the role of Beth Logan, the role was recast in 1990 with Adams; despite her considerable talent, Adams' Beth is not who the fans wanted to see. Burnett would reprise the role for several guest appearances from 1994 to 2001. In 2008, the character was reintroduced, this time with Riker, who, much like Adams, was not warmly welcomed in the role. Riker exited the role in 2010, when Beth was killed off. Emily Harrison as Bridget Forrester: Much like another recast below, Harrison was brought in to replace exiting fan favourite Jennifer Finnigan. However, she was not the right fit, and was quickly replaced with another fan favourite Ashley Jones, who still appears in the role 21 years later. Days of Our Lives Robin Strasser and Linda Dano as Vivian Alamain: Despite being fan favourites on other soaps, both Strasser and Dano were never accepted as replacements for Louise Sorel in the role of Vivian; following both recasts, Sorel did reprise the role with a positive response from audiences. EastEnders Jenna Russell as Michelle Fowler: The character of Michelle was one fans of this soap wanted to return for nearly two decades; much to the pleasure of fans, the soap announced the character's return in 2016, but this turned to displeasure when it was revealed fan favourite Susan Tully was not returning, and Russell was cast. Less than two years later, Russell departed the role. Emmerdale Samantha Power as Tina Dingle: If there is one thing English soap viewers do better than American, it is pan a recast of a popular soap character. Such is the case of Power's casting as the ever-popular Tina Dingle, who returned to the canvas in 2024 after Jacqueline Pirie's 1996 exit from the role, who did wish Power well in the role. Needless to say, those sentiments did not extend from the audience or the critics, wh felt Power's take on the role was too removed from Pirie's take. General Hospital Jennifer Bransford as Carly Corinthos: Bransford was brought in to replace fan favourite Tamara Braun and was panned from the moment she debuted. To this day, she is often ignored and was also not included in the infamous 2014 "Carlypalooza" episode. Bransford only lasted seven months in the role before Laura Wright was cast. Lesli Kay as Lois Cerullo: Fans wanted Rena Sofer to reprise her iconic role so it was a surprise when in 2004 it was announced As the World Turns actor Kay was cast in the role. At the time, Sofer revealed she had not been asked to reprise the role and felt hurt by this. Needless to say, Kay was unsuccessful in the role, as by the following year, she was dropped to recurring status (never to appear again) and found success in another recast⏤Felicia Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. Sofer did return to the role, to much fanfare, in 2023. Brooke Anne Smith as Molly Lansing-Davis: I mean, does this need to be explained? Minivan-mom Molly was not right for the role at all, despite her brother going off on social media that she was there to stay. Ryan's Hope Robin Mattson as Delia Ryan: When Ilene Kristen left the role in 1979, the soap successfully replaced her with Randall Edwards (and interim pinch-hitter Robyn Millan). When Kristen left the role for a second time, it proved difficult when producers sought to replicate the success of General Hospital by bringing in Mattson in the role of Delia. After only her initial six-month contract, Mattson left the role and Kristen returned. Santa Barbara Kimberly McArthur and Eileen Davidson as Kelly Capwell Conrad: McArthur's choice of casting is often seen due to her resemblance to exiting actress Robin Wright. However, she lasted less than a year in the role and was replaced by Carrington Garland. Garland's recasting was a success with fans; however, in 1991, the Dobsons returned and opted to present an 'older' Kelly and cast Davidson in the role. Despite her talent, reception for Davidson was not as accepting as that of Wright or Garland. The Young and the Restless Luke Kleintank as Noah Newman: Kleintank was cast as Noah in 2010 as an 'older' take on the role, replacing Kevin Schmidt. He only lasted seven episodes, exiting in 2011, with Schmidt returning. Eden Riegel and Jennifer Landon as Heather Stevens: In 2010, All My Children fan favourite Riegel announced she opted to accept the role of Heather over Bianca, leading to the successful recast of Christina Bennett Lind in her latter role. Riegel would not receive the same acceptance, with many feeling she was miscast in the role. Landon's casting, while a bit warmer than Riegel's, met the same kind of response. Original actress Vail Bloom returned to the role in 2023 to a positive response but exited the role in the following year to a lukewarm response. Maura West as Diane Jenkins: West's casting as Diane is often seen as one of confusion, with fans feeling she was 'too young' to play the role (especially following the successful recast of Susan Walters from Alex Donnelley in 2001) and would have better suited a character like Grace Turner. At the time of her exit, West revealed TPTB were already planning to recast the role when CBS offered the part to her, felt that by week two there was zero interest in the character from anyone, foresaw her exit long before it happened, and felt that she should not have taken the role. The character was killed off in 2011, and was later revived in 2022, with Walters reassuming the role to positive reception.

Javi/Leo > Will/Sonny I said what I said.

You're welcome. And it's Thomas Apartment (Dana's former apartment/Eva's current place). Tomas' home has never been seen (or even mentioned). Maybe in 2026?

Definitely better; again, the flashbacks were a nice touch, and the post-production not being dark and blue/green was an improvement.

Bill Hamilton, esq. (lobby) Bill Hamilton, esq. (hallway/main office) Bowman Hotel (room 1; bedroom only) Bowman Hotel (room 2; separated bedroom/living space) Dani Dupree Home (kitchen / living room) Dani Dupree Home (entryway w/ staircase) Dani Dupree Home (bedroom) Dani Dupree Home (closet) Dani Dupree Home (guest house) Dupree Family Home (foyer / living room) Fairmont Crest Country Club (foyer/hallway) Fairmont Crest Country Club (restaurant) Fairmont Crest Country Club (changing rooms) Garland Memorial (nurse's station/waiting room/hospital room) Garland Memorial (offices) Hamilton Home (foyer) Hamilton Home (living room) Hawthorne Home (bedroom) Lakeview Casino Morgan Apartment Orphey Gene's Police Department Richardson Apartment Richardson Family Home (living room/Nicole's office) Richardson Smith Brownstone (living room/dining room/Tyrell's bedroom) Thomas Apartment Uptown Those would essentially be the 27 core sets, although I do feel as if Andre's apartment was introduced later on. Plus, we have the interchangeable one-off sets that have come later, such as the coffee shop (which doubles as the airport) and the hotel room in Los Angeles / Las Vegas / Puerto Rico, and some other miscellaneous one-offs (like the room at the Country Club / Vanessa's bedroom / the outside of the Thomas Apartment).

You may not need to, but I am always going to pre-rinse (not pre-clean) any plates or utensils before I drop them into a dishwasher. And I've never had an issue with my dishwasher in pre-rinsing.
