I remember having lunch with my friend Connie Passalacqua and she told me that JFP and Pam Long will either love each other or hate each other. We all know how that turned out.

The actors all look so bored. I don’t blame them.

Firing Jerry verDorn was another of incompetent Ellen Wheeler’s mistakes. You don’t fire Jerry. You just don’t.

I do like how Kim did not let the most inept EP in the history of soaps, Ellen Wheeler, bully her into taking a paycut in the middle of her contract. Kim showed Wheeler who was the boss.

Too late! She’s already there. Has been there for awhile.

It’s always interesting how people remember things. I remember that Pam Long gave an interview the week that GL was going off the air and she didn’t remember that she wrote Reva’s post partum depression story that lead to Reva driving off the bridge. ( I’m Coming Bud!!) Pam swore that she didn’t write that. How can you forget writing off Reva Shayne! Pam later backtracked.

This is Ed Scott’s thread and he deserves the accolades. He deserves a great retirement.

Thank you, Errol. People want to make it more than it is. JFP has been working behind the scenes for about a year now on a per diem basis. Only in May did she return full time. She has no story input nor which sets get put up.

Ed Scott retired.

I’ll give it a 3/10. Some of it is true, most is not.

The speculation……….very entertaining.

Zero union rules broken.

Which union rules? SMH. Jill’s back, uncredited.

Ed’s gone. JFP is back but there won’t be an onscreen credit.

Where is the Monica tribute? And now we have to do a Lesley tribute. Come on Frank. History.

To each their own. The fashions on Y&R are questionable at best.

I cannot believe there is a whole storyline about the Abbott house renovation. They really are grasping over at Y&R. I don’t see a big difference in the set. It is refreshed. Why make a storyline out of it?

Glad you agree about Chandler’s smirking. It’s the reason I criticize him. He hasn’t grown as an actor, unfortunately. I don’t fawn over him because of his looks. I wish he’d never appear until he loses his smirking style of acting. Dee is doing a great job but yes, the story with the bandages isn’t the best. I get it- Drake wasn’t available and its a throwback to how John came to Salem, but it’s tough to get into the scenes when we know it’s not Drake under the bandages.

Hysterical!

Very good episode today. The writers are hitting so many important beats saying goodbye to John. And the flashbacks. I loved all of them. Greg Vaughan looks fantastic and was a welcome sight. Chandler still smirks in his acting. He hasn’t overcome that acting tick. He’s looking older but that fits in with Ari being aged upward. Dee is doing tremendous work.

Regarding the NBC years of SFT. Joanna Lee did a good job. She gave Jo a great story and ratings rised but Joanna left because she hated the pace of daytime. I remember seeing Joanna Lee’s great big red hair one day outside the studio. lol Her hair exited the studio before she did.

Going back abit, the Search actors HATED the Nicholson, Braxton, Avila Mayer era. I was in NYC during that time and spent alot of time outside the studio and got to know some of the actors. They were miserable. Marcia McCabe, in particular absolutely hated the Sunny suicide story. She was very very vocal about it.

Well goodbye to my beloved Ron Carlivati. He’s moved on very quickly to another job. I hope the Latest Plan To Save Days works out. I truly do. How many times have we been through this? The exact same people who approved Body and Soul and Ron’s other stories are still there. Thankfully Drucker will be gone in the coming months. She was just riding it out until her retirement. I don’t expect anything miraculous. Prove me wrong, Paula & Jeanne!

I do not believe that Joanna Lee was fired. She left on her own. She was frustrated about the constraints of daytime. The cast loved her.
