I know Linda "I Don't Wake Up for Less Than $10K a Day!" Evangelista wouldn't do it, lol! Why bother dropping the bombshell on Zoom? They could just text each other, lol!

That could be good!

Liberty bibberty!!

See, that's why I stay as far away from social media as possible these days. Because that makes absolutely no sense. None.

I agree! Say WHAT, lol?

I agree. BUT... I don't blame anyone who feels differently.

OMG, I can't believe I'm just now realizing that Alex and Xander have the same damn name, lol.

LOL!! I'm sorry, but I'm just not buying that Ashley suddenly has DID - and for reasons that still aren't entirely clear to me. Anything to keep her from buying another cheap-looking wig!

And we haven't even found out who killed Austin yet, lol!!

Don't get me wrong, I like Maura West and Finola Hughes, but...trying to lump them with JE, Beverlee McKinsey, Elizabeth Hubbard, Susan Flannery, Erika Slezak, Robin Strasser.... No.

Look, I've made peace with JM being a part of this show 'til the bitter end. He's never been my idea of Nick Newman, but anyway here we are. I just wish TPTB would be more realistic about what he can and cannot play.

JE is truly the last of that generation of actresses still working in soaps who gives 110% in every scene, no matter how awful the writing.

Especially when we know that the chemistry is there between Cameron Mathison and Cynthia Watros. It's messy af, but doggone it, it works, lol.

Now he can go back to being the Lesley Ann Warren impersonator he always was meant to be.

No problem! As you can see, the majority of atypical episodes happened during the Peter S. Fischer era (1984-1991). Once he departed as showrunner, and especially after Lansbury took over production in '92, MSW became more risk-averse.

Believe it or not, I'm actually intrigued by Carly, so I'm okay with her being the de-facto central heroine. So long as she doesn't get cloned, travel back in time through some Hobby Lobby paintings or experience psychic visions.

IDK what it is about him, but he always reaches that point where he just...checks out.

LOL!!

Why should Nick have any occupation(s)? Again, write to JM's strengths. Let Nick Newman be that aging manchild/playboy, who still likes to bang chicks half his age and tries all the time to be an adult but just can't ever get it right, lol.

I agree!

Definitely! I probably should list them all in a spoiler tag, though, lol. Bookend and two-hour episodes notwithstanding...

Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard of "Magic Mike"? Well, now, feast your eyes on "Nick the Stick," lol!

I wouldn't necessarily do anything different or drastic with Nick, but I would have others in Nick's life gradually realize what we have known for years: that Nick, as played by JM, is, at best, a manchild; an "overgrown frat boy" who's never gonna be the sort of solid, mature businessman and patriarch that his father is/was, but who nevertheless has qualities that others respect and even admire.

Who's to say this - meaning, the recent romp w/ Nina after months of enmity between them, the possible hooking up with Willow down the road, etc. - isn't all part of Drew's master plan (conceived while imprisoned, perhaps?) to get even with Nina for turning him and Carly into the SEC?

I always love how townspeople like Seth complain about tourists and newcomers "invading" CC. It's like, "Well, maybe if you told more outsiders about all the murders that occur in town, they wouldn't be so inclined to visit or move there, lol!"
