I do believe that Douglas Marland would've left ATWT at some point, either to work on his own soap, or to try and salvage AW.

I wasn't either! Then again, after the stupid Bo/Patrick storyline and Didi's death, I wasn't much interested in anything Bo-related.

To me, Bo Buchanan was like the Ewing men on DALLAS: the kind of woman who suited him best was the kind who could link her arm with his, coo and say, "Yes, Bo; no, Bo; whatever you say, Bo." Nora was nothing like that. She might've impressed him (and Asa) enough with her legal expertise to make her chief legal officer at Buchanan Enterprises, but wife material? No.

Yeah, I tend to agree with Cynthia Watros and Kim Zimmer: there might've been a professional rivalry between the two, but I don't think it was as heated as others have made it out to be. It's kind of like...well, you remember that episode of "The Golden Girls" where Dorothy's best friend, Trudy, came for a visit?

I totally forgot about Cassie, lol.

It's not that. It's just that she tried to break into primetime and discovered she wasn't nearly as successful there as she had been in soaps. I mean, you saw "Never Say Never," right, lol?

It's Mia. It's just a bad photo. Although, how bad could that photo be, if it makes Fred Scollay and Richard Roat look hot, lol?

Who could blame them? DAYS is trash, and has been since I left elementary school (or longer, depending on which longtime DAYS fan you ask).

TBH, I thought pairing Bo with Nora the FIRST time was odd. Aside from Delila and Becky Lee, Bo's love interests up to that point had three things in common: all were young (or younger than he), all were blonde and all were, um, perky, lol. Nora was NOTHING like Jinx, Didi, Sarah, and whoever else I'm blanking on. In fact, she wasn't even like Delila or Becky Lee, lol!

What, no Shelley Hack, lol? I hate to think there's still animosity between Kate and Cheryl. The series ended over 40 years ago, and Farrah, David Doyle, John Forsythe, Leonard Goldberg, Tanya Roberts and Aaron Spelling all have passed away. It's way past time for those two ladies (or, at least, for Kate, as I don't think there's ever been as much animosity on Cheryl's side) to bury the proverbial hatchet (but preferably not in each other's literal backs, lol). I know Kate and maybe Jaclyn have remarked that the series should've ended when Farrah quit...and I'm inclined to believe them. The chemistry among the initial three - Kate, Farrah, and Jaclyn - redeems the bad writing. Once Farrah's gone, there's a few decent episodes with Kate/Jaclyn/Cheryl; halfway through S2, however, the series really falls apart.

Take it from me: not everyone can get along with an Okie.

Chances are, if he had, at least one would've been named "Jessie Witherspoon" and living somewhere in L.A.

That's like the rumors I've heard about two actors at GH getting caught having sex literally outside the studio (which two actors depends upon the source, lol).

And floating around YT is a scene between them where he's clearly fed up with her to the point that it ruins Y&R's normally graceful camera work. (I can't locate the scene in question, but basically: John and Jill exchange heated words (again) over their impending divorce; John wants Jill to leave his office, but for some reason, Brenda ain't leavin' fast enough; so, Jerry literally shoves Brenda out the office door; and whoever was manning camera two was like, "WTF just happened?," lol).

Frankly, I don't think Nina ever should've been reunited with her firstborn. Her loss was kind of like the engine that drove her as a character. Resolving that by reuniting them, IMO, took away something special and unique about her.

LOL!!

IDK how true it is, but I've heard that Deidre Hall has always been jealous of Susan Lucci's status within the industry.

To me, that book was radioactive.

Yep. Her departure probably had even more to do with "Charlie's Angels" decline than Farrah's. It was one thing for the show to lose its' pinup star, but Kate was the glue that held the team together. Once she was gone, the mantel of authority fell upon Jaclyn Smith, with Cheryl Ladd taking Jaclyn's place as the No. 2 Angel. As much as I'll always adore Jaclyn, it really wasn't the same without Kate.

Either that, or Frank is finally acknowledging real life events and the WSB has been affected by the partial government shutdown as well. (Frankly, I think it's just sloppy writing, lol).

Because, unlike the actual soap writers or TIIC whom they answer to, we don't dream up ideas based on "research," which is really just the executives' personal likes and dislikes. We base our ideas on something more complex: serving these characters in the best ways possible.

Yeah, I guess I'm down for that, too, lol. If he does appear on the show, however, I don't expect or need him to have a full arc like Franco had at GH. A blink-and-you'll-miss-him cameo at Horton Town Square would suffice.

Ah, Bobby Van. Such a fantastic dancer.

...Meh.

Congratulations and enjoy your retirement!!
