It's truly amazing how that particular confederacy of dunces came very close to toppling our entire government.

That was never gonna happen, lol.

Telling Maggie Haberman to "do her job" is like pissing into the wind. Now, if we could just get rid of Fox News....

Knowing MTS, she'd relish the opportunity to play a dual role like that, lol. Yeah, if nothing else, Ron Carlivati would certainly get people talking again about Y&R. Whether or not the talk would be good is another matter entirely.

Back when DAYS was still a reasonably believable show.

I know how. He'd write it abominably.

It seems out of left field (even for Farah) to be resentful about a same-sex couple's popularity. If viewers preferred Rex with another woman over Gigi, that's one thing. But what the heck do Kyle and Oliver have to do with her?? Ah, well. I don't pretend to understand what goes through the average actor's mind.

I've always felt that way, too. As Mack reasoned, when Jill realized she'd lost Gary for good, and to Val, she was determined to make them both pay for destroying her life, even if it meant killing herself in the process. But, you know, it's hard to know for sure what Jill's true intentions were, since (IIRC) the entire explanation of her death was based on Mack's supposition to the D.A. I mean, for all anyone knows, Jill might have been forced into Gary's trunk, or she might have had an accomplice helping her stage the kidnapping. We never saw it actually happen. We can only go by how Mack laid it all out to the attorneys. I'd have to agree. As over-emotional and dramatic as Reva could be at times, even she wouldn't have gone THAT far. But, at least it was produced well (IMO).

I still remember when Soap Opera Weekly did their big, "Whatever Happened To...?"/"Where Are They Now?" issue, where they caught up with May, Borelli and a truckload of other former soap stars. It was so bittersweet reading that and thinking and feeling that there were so many former actors who should've still been on the soaps.

All I can say is, if the rumors are true, and Craig indeed comes out of the closet to Nancy and Chloe, please, for the love of Donna Summer, don't make Leo his lover. In fact, don't let Craig's new, same-sex partner be anyone we've already seen on this show. DAYS is incestuous enough.

Because, even the devil has its' limits?

Yeah, that story was godawful -- and knowing that Ellen Wheeler and Tom Eplin had once been married IRL did not make it any easier to accept or watch either.

If Ron Carlivati were writing this show, and he had somehow stumbled upon that information? Believe me, he would have found some way to tie the two Glorias together. IKR? I would have LOVED to see Drucilla, as the maid's daughter, who resented how much more attention her mother gave her boss's children, at least try and seduce Jack (or even John) into marriage just to prove she was just as good as the Abbott children. If Drucilla and Olivia had been Mamie's daughters, rather than her nieces, then a Jack/Drucilla union could have caused so much tension among the two families. My guess? Even though she was playing a maid, she didn't want to play her like she was Beulah, and Jerry Douglas thought she was being "uppity" for demanding her character be written with dignity. But, again, that's just my guess.

I can't [!@#$%^&*] believe this show thinks investigating the destruction of a teddy bear is worth airtime. Ron Carlivati is a damn fool.

Soap operas are turgid by nature...but, underneath the sturm and drang, they're also supposed to offer viewers some hope. Having characters commit suicide seems to run counter to the idea.

I dunno, I just feel like a "darker" AMC would be antithetical to Agnes Nixon's original vision for her creation. She always envisioned her shows having a pronounced sense of humor.

Boy, was that (killing off Dan) a mistake. I feel like there was so much more that could have been done with Dan.

Good. I think Adam Kinzinger is a grifter just like the rest of 'em. He's just found a different angle. (I also think he's gay, but that's for a different thread.)

I guarantee that RN/AH will not work. It would make more sense to pair him with Eileen Davidson or even Melody Thomas Scott than it would to pair him with AH. Sigh. I am so, so tired of Y&R going back to the Billy/Victoria well. I mean, how many times must they replay that scenario before they realize it's a creative dead-end?

I don't know whether this qualifies, but I've always been fascinated by how Bill Bell and Kay Alden handled both the Brad/Leslie/Lorie and the Lance/Lorie/Leslie/Lucas storylines on Y&R. It seems like there was so much more going on underneath than just two sisters going gaga for the same guy.

Frankly, I think it's time for the writers (and for Sara Gilbert) to pursue Darlene in a same-sex relationship. Because, IMHO, Sara has never been able to portray a heterosexual female convincingly. Not even when she was on the old show and involved with David.

Ironically, I think Jean Le Clerc was transplanted to LOVING from AMC, because AMC's writers had basically run out of story for Jeremy.

I didn't think he was (or is) ugly either.

It wouldn't. If I were Morina or Griffith, I'd hire Wayne Northrop (ex-Roman/Alex, DAYS) to play Sharon's long-lost dad. I could see someone like him being married once to Karen Hensel's Doris. Maybe I'm nuts -- okay, I'm nuts -- but I think William R. Moses (ex-Cole, FALCON CREST; ex-Keith, MELROSE PLACE) would be a good Jeff Webber recast.

TBH, I don't like those episodes. They felt awfully bitter to me.
