I like Pinky as part of this group so far. She is different and is the not the typical fake diva "I am so rich and fabulous" HW with the Instagram aesthetics. She can be awkward, but in a fun way. Just like Angela, she reminds me of a different era of reality tv for some reason.

ATL Kelli is just a fan who won a contest and got to film with the cast. Phaedra should have been a friend. K has no idea how to play the housewives game, she makes everyone miserable. Including the viewers. Shamea is... awkward and tries way too hard. Cynthia is GORGEOUS. The most beautiful housewife ever.

BF and CK are so good together. He should have been a new character instead of Cane. The show won't even try to bring new characters anymore.

Same.

So Holly was the Journal's owner at the time? Did she end up selling it?

Kristina can get involved with any man or woman on the show and somehow this ends up being boring.

I remember reading about Malone joining AW and I was ecstatic. It would be great to read someone's analysis on his work there.

Dabney's Isabelle was Alice Horton with money, Holm was like Stephanie Forrester and Barry was Loving's version of Phoebe Tyler. Mundy would have been great though, too bad she left after the pilot. The show's casting was great at first. I loved Shannon Eubanks as regal Ann. The only parts that needed actors with a different energy were Roger and Merril.

Danfling's Cancelled Soap Operas Board memories.

Ι remember an episode with Ed and Kelly crying together, it looked as though they were breaking up. It seemed to me that someone had a lot of fun with the scene for a specific audience, knowing that the others would not even suspect what was implied.

Elizabeth as their Pamela Capwell once Phillip was back? I could see that. They would probably bring Hope Bauer back as well.

I never bought LW as Carly. For some reason in the past few years she has convinced me that she is playing the same character that SJB played in the 90s. She seems rougher, tougher and less like a generic blonde soap opera leading lady.

That would be interesting, by that time the Dobsons were so different from their 70s material. One would never guess that they were the same writers. They would have fun with characters like Buzz, Nadine, Bridget for sure. Their Spauldings would become wackier and they might turn Alan-Michael into their Mason Capwell. Their Blake would probably not become boring and domesticated, she would have a fascinating dynamic with Holly. It would be fun to see what they would do with Roger.

Wendy Riche or Linda Gottlieb as EP. Michael Malone. I liked Susan Bedsow-Horgan both as a writer and as an EP.

Thank you so much. I loved Roya's Ava with Linden Ashby's Curtis.

Amazing news, I adore Lauren Koslow.

I couldn't agree more, it is beyond tired. On the other hand, this makes Y&R the only soap to feature a story from real life right now.

And psycho Stephanie to kidnap people.

Isn't it sweet that Malcom's son was friends with Nathan's son in LA and that they both ended up in Genoa City ❤️

The woman who plays Karen Richards looks so much like Jamie Lyn Bauer. I thought it was her at first and I am sure it was not unintentional.

You are right about KZ's sex appeal. Hope was never meant to be sexy. Bad idea lol. How about Marj Dusay as Rita? A difficult part to recast.

How about recasting the part of Kevin?

I know people will hate me for even suggesting this... but what about Kim Zimmer as Hope? Try to keep the Reva madness out of your mind while thinking about it. Zimmer played Nola Dancy Aldrich on THE DOCTORS. I could see 1983 Hope being more like Nola during her divorce. Nola was also an alcoholic. KZ's Hope in a nasty divorce with CB's Alan and having Alex be her Mona Aldrich Croft. When I think of KZ of think of horrible 80s hair, crazy, sleazy stories and GL's downfall. I found her far more interesting on THE DOCTORS. Just an idea from someone who thought that Reva and the 80s madness ruined the show.

I've been thinking about that too. (And that TPTB have the same opinion as well?)

So Stephanie is our new psycho? Will she kidnap Sharon?
