Full names and all!!

Yes! The lack of sets is so sad, though the quality of sets is much better than the Morina years. We all have opinions about Phyllis and her portrayers, but how does a consistent lead not have a home?!? (Even if it is the cramped apartments she had in past years lol)

There was a noticeable shift in fall 2001 when JP joined as co-HW. The show was not necessarily bad, but it wasn’t the same quality (for me) as the first year and a half of Hogan’s run. I thought the show regained some spark with the umbrella story around Rose’s death, but if I recall correctly, network interference in early 2004 halted the momentum and led to awfulness like Doc Reese and Keys to the Kingdom. I enjoyed the first couple years of JP’s solo run. The show had renewed energy compared to 2004 into early 2005. Not everything was great, but the show held my interest everyday until around late 2007. Then the wheels fell off entirely and the show didn’t feel like itself again until it was too late around Maura West’s return after her final maternity leave. So much lost potential in the last year especially.

Interesting comments from Phillips about Ted Shackelford!

I love the ATWT logo, especially how it incorporates a more recent font with the older elements. Love AW and GH too!

It appears as though Brenda Dickson (ex-Jill, Y&R) has lost her home and is now sleeping outside. She has set up a GoFundMe too. All is on her instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/brendadicksonactress/

Pretty sure the buzz was that Sally McDonald was defacto/acting EP during MAB’s last year/year and a half.

The highest of emotional stakes! 😂

I do love the nu-old Newman Ranch and the remixed Abbott mansion. I just wish there was a story to match 😜 Any stakes. Anything. Something.

Please don’t be Dylan McAvoy

Yes, those too! The mansion was so much more spacious when the show first debuted.

Hoorah! Hoping we see the original Forrester living room again. Not the narrow version we’ve had for the last decade and a half!

I saw somebody say they used the AW fan bench as fire wood and I nearly spit out my coffee.

Has anyone watched the new/part 2 HT interview? It is bananas on all sorts of levels.

Yes, they had, but it was several months after AW ended. I wonder if GL inherited any of the sets.
