When did Heather receive her first hip replacement?

IMO, there's more drama and conflict to be had with Liz, as a single mom of three boys/young men, finding love with someone who isn't already one of her baby daddies. Someone who's solid and reliable - possibly, working as a doctor at the hospital - and who isn't played by Michael Easton, lol.

I'd sooner see Jason knockin' boots with Audrey! IMO, LW's best chemistry was with Amelia Heinle on LOVING/THE CITY and Kim Zimmer and Cynthia Watros on GL. No, I'm not kidding.

I mean, did she call Margaret Reed and ask her for that hideous wig she wore on ATWT when Shannon came back from the dead? Because, that's what came to my mind when I saw CZ, as Jordan, literally snatch that mess out of the dumpster. (Me: "B*tch, put that back where it belongs!") Look, I don't want to beat up too much on Josh Griffith, because I do think he has talent, and I know he's probably working under an enormous amount of pressure from the folks at CBSD and Sony, too. But even Jean Dadario Burke, the most vision-less EP I have ever encountered in all my years of soap viewing, would look at everything that's happening (or, to be more precise, NOT happening) right now on Y&R and say, "Dude, WTF?". So much that should be happening on-screen, isn't; and what IS happening is either dull and meaningless, or it's borderline psychotic. (Ashley Abbott has D.I.D. now!? [!@#$%^&*] all the way off, Y&R!) Eric Braeden seems especially more checked out than usual these days. I watched the scene where he coaxes Jordan into meeting one-on-one with him via cell, and I was like, "OMG, I'll be damned if the son of a bitch isn't literally phoning this in!".

Poor Abby, lol. She's an Abbott and a Newman; yet, for whatever reason, I don't believe she's ever fit all that well into either family. The opportunity was there to have someone come in, exploit her unofficial "outsider" status and use it, potentially, to bring both families down, or at least make all their lives hell. Instead, we get "The Two Faces of Ashley" and Colleen Zenk hamming it up in shitty wigs that you'd find in the back of an Ashro catalog.

My fear, though, is that B&B's ratings might suffer without the Y&R lead-in.

They doth protest too much, methinks.

ICAM! All I can say is, this better not end with John Abbott being exposed as a pedophile.

I agree, lol!

LOL!! But seriously. If anyone should have a hoarding problem, it should be Traci. And we should totally see every minute of it on-screen, too.

I'll bet she'll look fabulous in it when he flips out/shows his true colors, abducts her and stashes her away someplace.

Yep.

Was JER on GH's writing staff at that point? Because, that storyline has his fingerprints all over it, lol. Well, that's only because Mulcahey is an optimist.

It might be due to my being a small child at the time and not watching GH as much as GL or even SaBa, but all I can remember about Terry Brock was that she cried a lot. There are a TON of actors/characters that Korte and Mulcahey could cut loose without any impact to the show, but I suspect they'll hold off at least for awhile to see who and what works for their vision for GH. On the other hand, I could be totally wrong and @Errol is putting the finishing touches on his "BREAKING: 42 ACTORS CUT FROM GH!" story even as we speak.

Oh, man. I feel for her sister as well. RIP.

Yes. Julianne Phillips had elected to leave the show, so (IIRC) the producers revealed that the Reed sisters' father had fathered another daughter, Charlotte, or "Charley," by another woman (I think it was with his nurse/longtime mistress, but I can't be sure). Unfortunately, I don't think Charley ever meshed well with the other sisters, even after she was recast, so it was up to Kalember, Kurtz and especially Ward to keep the series going.

IA. When you have a character tampering with her diaphragm so she can get pregnant, you're writing a soap, lol. Oh, I loved watching "Sisters" BITD. The writing was so cornball and messy, but I thought the chemistry among Patricia Kalember, Swoosie Kurtz, Julianne Phillips and Sela Ward was fantastic.

I wish DAYS could work out some sort of arrangement with Sony or Universal's music library, I really do.

Am I the only one who never really cared for "Hold on to Love"? I mean, the accompanying visuals were nice, but that song was just a little too John Williams for me.

Believe it or not, I forced myself to watch one of those Great Aryan Family movies the other day. I don't know how Cameron snuck past them. He's entirely too tanned to be one of their stable of actors.

Stone Cold? Meet Dead in the Market.

How 'bout Jordan?

I wouldn't categorize OCD as "mundane," but I totally get your point, lol.

Frankly, I'm not convinced that "The Gates" isn't just a working title.

I was kidding about hooking him up with Laura - although, you're right, it would be funny to watch DT's reaction, lol - but my point is, we don't need a retread of Jason/Carly, or Jason/Liz, or Jason/Sam. If they must pair Jason with someone - and I agree, I'm fine with him going it alone - then pair him with someone new. Yaaaaaaas, lol.
