That sweaty-looking mofo wouldn't know "hot" if it scorched his pasty behind.

If only DAYS spent as much time and energy making the daily show watchable instead of coming up with these crappy spinoffs.

Granted, I've watched very, very little of Y&R's earliest years, but even I think William Grey Espy embodied Bill Bell's vision for Snapper Foster better than David Hasselhoff. (Same goes for Jim Houghton and Greg. Those recasts? Oof.)

I think more viewers would have been on-board with Robert and Anna had the show not thrown them together so quickly. Like I always say, the audience will go wherever you want them to go, you just have to take the steps to get them there.

Wait, let's back up a second... You saw Colin Egglesfield reading? Did the book have pictures?

I still remember when Tracy ran Jenny down with her car. I know we were supposed to be outraged that Tracy would run her down and then flee the scene, but I felt she should have backed the car up and run over her again.

All I remember about Jenny Eckert was that she lied about being a virgin to Ned.

I still wonder why GH would saddle the luminous Carol Lawrence with such a nothing role like Angela Eckert. It's like watching Patti LuPone play a suburban mom on "Life Goes On" and pretending it makes sense.

Hey, no arguments here, lol.

Didn't I read somewhere that Bill Bell always viewed Snapper and Chris as a couple who'd never divorce?

You know, TPTB forget that casting is crucial in helping a show sell the audience on a story that is otherwise unsellable. In order for the Unabortion to have worked, AMC needed a dynamic, one-of-a-kind actor to portray Josh, something it didn't have in either Scott Kinworthy or Colin Egglesfield.

I really need to read that book. I, too, assumed a DNA test had been performed. Honestly, if ever a DNA test *needed* to be performed on any soap, that was the time!

Plus, if Erica had had Tom's baby while she was out of town, she would have been only too thrilled to bring the baby back with her to Pine Valley in order to reconcile with Tom, since she knew how badly he wanted a child.

At the risk of reading a dead woman's mind, I'd say that Agnes Nixon gave her blessing to a lot of ideas that she thought were terrible, if only because, he/she was in the HW's chair, and she likely believed that a HW needed to be allowed to follow his/her vision...no matter how awful it was. Then, you would have had Erica betraying Tom (or Phil) again by having his child and concealing it from him, which would have been unforgivable. At least, with the Unabortion, Erica didn't knowingly keep Jeff's son from him. Not if, for example, the attending nurse stole Erica's other baby, because she so badly wanted one of her own. And please don't ever mention that horrid mess w/ Jessica and Natalie again.

NuChance reminds me a lot of Mark Feuerstein -- which is appropriate, I guess, since Mark can't act either.

Honestly, why is this guy not replacing Sir Smirks a Lot as Will?

Same.

Look at y'all, demanding plausible explanations from DAYS. It's cute.

You're right, he's good-looking and can't act for [!@#$%^&*]. Back in the day, that would've meant a quick exit. But now...? That just translates into "Multiple Emmy Winner."

Forget it, j(ake), it's Chinatown DAYS.

God knows I was never a fan of the whole Kendall retcon. However, when the decision was made to saddle Erica with a grown, male child (who was somehow younger than he was supposed to be, but I digress), you had a good opportunity there to rewrite history once more and reveal that 15-year-old Erica was actually pregnant with fraternal twins. You could have said that Erica and Mona never knew about the other child; that Erica's doctor and/or nurse kept the other child from them for their own, nefarious purposes; and that while Mona was busy handing Kendall over to the adoption agency (which I still don't believe Mona would've done, but again, I digress), a semi-conscious Erica gave birth to the other child, then promptly passed out, still believing she gave birth only to the one child. Does that scenario make complete sense? No. Truthfully, no scenario where Erica discovers a child she never knew she had would ever make sense. But, at least it doesn't cross over into sci-fi (that is, not as much as the Un-abortion did).

Is that when she was still married to Phil and had miscarried their baby? Or are you referring to when she left for Hollywood after splitting with Tom and wound up at a fat farm?

Isn't it a little soon to be labelling this guy "Daytime's New Heartthrob"?

Agree. Granted, I still think the revelation was dumb, but, hey, you work with what you've got.

Well, I certainly wouldn't blame you if you did.
