Liberty City

I concur; it would be lame and almost cruel, but that is the absolute vibe it gave off to me as a viewer.

The DUI story seemed rush-thrown into scripts to begin ushering Natalia off-canvas. Plus, it's not lost on me to have Natalia mention the price of her dress and not wanting to get it dirty, Molly Lansing show up at the PCPD to talk with Natalia, and finally, Alexis' discussion of alcoholism. All mirroring some real-life references of Haley Pullos (ex-Molly). Very telling.

Well, as we saw during the premiere week, they have suites at the country club, so it'd be interesting to see that set again or even more of them. And I am sure with it being warmer these days, we'll get "outdoor amenities", as well. Assembly Studios is really the best location for them right now, and I know they're going to continue to do amazing things for the upcoming season. Plus, per a sign we saw, we know the country club (at the very least) has a golf club and tennis courts. I wonder if we'll see Pamea turn over the Salon and Spa to some under-five, etc. We saw their bedroom set when they had sex, and with the mention of their children, I am sure we'll see [something] coming up at some point.

They want Dante to have all these babies; I get it, because he's yummy, but damn.

I'm fine with them interacting there, because I love those three sets; I don't think there's one set I hate with a burning passion. Yes, the private casino room could leave more to be desired, but it's not that bad in comparison to what other soaps have. I'm just hoping that when they get the next set budget, we can see an expansion on the hotel, the country club, possibly one more communal area, the courthouse for law cases, etc. Maybe Vanessa's house and/or business. They did say they used their entire set budget, so I'm assuming they'll get the same the next time.

It was a mess of a time; felt like Guza was throwing out sticky bombs in the hopes some would stick, and they just did not. He was burnt out by that point.

Yeah, it's a guest house, which Dani converted into a modeling studio when she was managing Chelsea's modeling career (as expressed in script). I'm assuming Andre, like you, walked in from the backyard or some kind of yard space. But I like that it's a set that served a purpose, and they were able to repurpose it a bit without changing too much or having to build something new.

Well, the retcon of it all is something else. 🤣

That's exactly what it was; they brought her in for the Carly/Dante/Lulu storyline, decided to keep her around, and then just... gave up. And her exit came around the ending months of Robert Guza Jnr's tenure, so I guess he was burnt out.

👍🏻 Us episode-counters got to stick together!

It's not new; it's been there since the beginning.

According to Soaps In Depth, her exit had nothing to do with Tyler Christopher's then-impending exit.

I mean, is she my favourite? No. But do I dislike her? No. At Y&R, I think she entered into a no-win situation replacing fan favourite Lyndsy Fonseca. I did not mind her. Was it different? Yes. But I just think she wasn't going to win. As for GH, IIRC, she chose to leave GH in 2005/2006, but I could be wrong. As for the 2011 exit, I can't recall if that was her choice or if the serial just wrote her out. Shame, even though her story then was a mess. From seducing Dante (via Carly's request) to her dalliance with Nikolas.

Mm-hmm; supposedly, that was attributed to her firing but was never a confirmed thing.

She totally should. 🤣 And then Y&R for saying the things they said.

I feel like Léon might be done with it, based on some [now deleted] social media posts I remember seeing, but yes, Lane could easily step back into the role if asked, I am sure.

Omg, thank you so much! I know what I will be watching tonight!!!!

May I ask how? When I had P.T. for my first stroke, I had similar P.T. done.

Honestly, seeing Setton's original debut (and then Brianna Lane's tenure) and now seeing Setton now... it's a complete change in her acting/characterisation of Brook Lynn... and not in a positive way. I'm team #RecastBLQ or simply write the role out.

@YRfan23 Despite what you've been told, both Wagner and Yamada are on contract, and were listed after Jacqueline MacInnes Wood.

Because, in all reality, people are truly delusional. They are. Delusional enough to believe they would recast Monica, etc., and that they'd do it with someone who's made it known she does not want a long term role on soaps.
