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.

Jerry and Beth were fabulous people. His luncheons were fun. Marie, his fan club president, put on a great gathering. Unfortunately, your scenario about Jane is not what happened. The blowup I witnessed was not during an important scene. Actually the scene was quite routine and it was before Carrie split into different personalities. I was the only visitor, standing way off to the side. Jane would have had no idea that I was there.

I have every Soap Opera Now issue. SON had biases. It was an interesting publication. They pushed their agenda and who they wanted to spotlight.

Jerry verDorn himself on The Locher Room said that he never knew which version of Jane he’d get. It was clear that he meant the actress, not character. I never implied anything else. I posted about what I personally witnessed, which goes along with what Jerry said. They obviously respected each other but that doesn’t mean everything was smooth sailing. Speaking of Jerry’s fan club luncheons, they were great! I went to 2 of them. (Not the one Jane was at). Marie Lukasik, Jerry’s fan club president, was a friend of mine. She could get members of Jerry’s fan club into the studio to watch a taping. Thus my encounter watching Jane’s antics.

Make no mistake. When Jerry said that when you never knew which Jane you were going to get, he definitely meant Jane the actress and not Carrie the character. I personally witnessed one of her blowups onset. 10 minutes later she was all smiley. Actors on the sidelines were talking about her behavior. That is not 2nd hand gossip. It’s my own personal eyewitness account.

You are not wrong. I was there. I attended Roger Newcomb’s Nuke get togethers and let’s just say that Martha’s ears were burning.

A certain someone is posting to herself, again. We all know it.

Wow! Alison Sweeney was great today! Definitely Emmy worthy. Glad Sami’s back for now.
