We are going to have to agree to disagree, because I completely disagree with your assessment. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In truth, Flynn had it on DAYS... he was one the most stand-out talents in what I've considered to be a very stale company of "actors". He, to me, is someone who could really go beyond daytime at this point, and should at some point.

Flynn is too good to be wasted on the role of Michael or on General Hospital. It's bad enough he's going to The Young and the Restless.

To me, it helps solidify Ted as a character; Johnson was stiff (except for his excessive swaying) and could not emote one iota in his scenes. It was a recast that was well done. Knowing what Robinson is capable of doing, he's an asset to the cast. If they've just established it as a soap opera that patients have watched prior, I doubt the characters would appear in-universe; that wouldn't make sense at all.

Because it gives him power over them. That's why, and plays into the idea Bill Hamilton holds power over them, hence his involvement in the Martin secret.

But he's meant to be the outlier of the Dupree family (not Ted). I still think it was the right decision to make, and I am loving Keith D. Robinson in the role. Much more natural, and a wider ranged actor than the limits Johnson showcased.

Which I think is the entire point; I think they might have seen how Maurice Johnson was portraying Ted and didn't like it in comparison to Timon Kyle Durrett's Bill Hamilton.

date: Thursday, May 22 | Teresa Zimmerman, Judy Tate | Michael V. Pomarico Dana trying to buy her way back into Mona's life by way of a frosted doughnut, and she isn't biting, and nor should she. Basic-ass frosted doughnuts are nasty. I love seeing Tracy still in town (and using the alternate staircase in the home). Derek, make your s**t and G-O, GO and do not even look back! No one wants your stank, lazy, crusty, dirty, nasty ass. Love seeing the girls welcoming Nicole back to work; it's a nice community welcome! Katherine is playing this audio recording like it's the latest book craze taking over the world. Uh-oh, Ted, you just outed yourself for speaking to Dana, and we know Nicole won't be happy about that. Nor will the Febreze behind you! Might want to spray it and cleanse your office. Good on Jacob for calling Derek out on his bull, the chair and the moose head. Good on him. Dana is off of her damn rocker; there are more than a few screws loose in that head of hers. I am going to need for Nicole and Ted to take Katherine a bit more seriously. She is smarter than most police officers... she's putting the pieces together. Oh, is that a hint of intrigue on Tracy's face at the potential idea of a reunion for the Articulettes? This is what, the second time Dana has snapped at being called "crazy", right? Yeah, she is unhinged. CRAZY! The drama behind Anita's exit from the Articulettes feels beyond a solo career; could the guy from their past be part of it, too? So, June's real name is Jessica Griffin, huh? That name sounds familiar... right, Ms Anita? So June is just telling the As the World Turns stories. That's a cute nod to another P&G soap opera. Notes: I appreciate seeing a police investigation being taken seriously; it's a refreshing change of pace from other soap operas. Ambyr Michelle continues to give face like no one else.

This, plus they nixed their overnight set crew during the COVID era and never brought them back.

Adamson would have been the ideal Michael; he's who I've wanted for years (despite liking Chad Duell), but it does not seem like TPTB want to stick with pinch-hit actors in permanent hirings.

It gives me 2010/2011 flashbacks when it was a ABC/CBS flip-flop with AMC cast-offs going to Y&R. 🤣

Would not necessarily call myself a shipper, as I think shipping is quite an unhealthy state of mind to exist in, but would I like to see them paired? Yes, I would.
