Where is Little Eric? Why haven't they brought him yet? Who was raising him? CJ or Amber?

Melanie Smith as Macy Alexander on B&B

I thought that ED's Blake would turn out to be Beth. I also think that Arianne Munker was hired to play Hope Bauer in the 80s, but she ended up being Christine Valere for some reason.

Perhaps Bill Bell would continue working with Ridge, Thorne, Brooke and Caroline as a unit. I could see Thorne and Brooke becoming a couple after his divorce from Caroline. KKL was pregnant in 1990, so "Rick" might turn out to be B&B's version of Brooks Prentiss. A baby with four parents.

GH's Brad was the Leo prototype.

Something similar to DOOL's Mickey in the 70s. I love the idea.

Thank you for answering my question. I find Courtney fascinating and she deserved another long-lasting soap role.

I could him with Macy, minus the singing. He also had a lot of chemistry with KKL. There was no reason for his animosity towards Ridge to be dropped. Jeff Trachta was a brand new character. CN was handsome enough for the Winsor Harmon era stories.

@vetsoapfan do you think that Jacqueline Courtney could take over as Alexandra Spaulding after Beverlee's exit?

He will end up being Rebecca Kendall.

Why did they get rid of Clayton Norcross (for Jeff Trachta of all people)? Thorne went from preppy and fragile to 80s Lauren Fenmore hair and singing duets with Macy. Thorne#1 and Caroline looked like old Hollywood stars. I can't believe how good the show looked in its first season. And yes, I am one of the very few people who liked B&B much better before the Spectra gang showed up.

What is the point of turning Days into a joke where nobody is laughing? There is nothing soapy about the show. Has RC given up on trying to deliver a real storyline. I used to love his early OLTL and GH, the problem is that he never did any "early Days". The Sarah stupidity is tackier than the character names on Ambitions.

The Nikolai "Kolya" Rostov would have been a much better Prince Michael. (You probably don't get this from this gif)

Unless Phoebe turns out to be Finn I can't see anything that shocking about a dead person showing up alive on a soap. Another weird thing is that B&B has been promoting this twist/event for quite some time. They never did that before with things like Maya's revelation or Sheila's return.

I always wanted Dave Reed to show up for a special "What If" episode. How things would have been for both families if Brooke never met the Forresters.

Crystal Chappell as GL's Blake. I am not a big fan of her personality, but Liz Keifer had turned the character into a bore. The show should be focused on Roger and Holly's daughter who was raised as a Bauer, is the mother to Ross Marler's kids and has so much history with the Spauldings.

B&B would be crazy enough to make Bill Spencer Eric's son for no real reason. We might get Stephanie's ghost visiting Broooke. (Please don't make Brooke pregnant) But I think it will have something to do with Steffy's maternity leave. I've read a crazy rumor about Phoebe being alive, but it makes no sense. So it could be it.

Loving's Roya Megnot (Ava) was considered for the part before KW was cast

The network wanted two hours of Dynasty every week. It was not a spin-off, it was a clone. They were crazy to think that it could work with a Fallon recast. They had a great cast and their two seasons were much better than Dynasty during that time, but the show had no identity of its own. The same opening, same business, a different Blake, Alexis, Krystle and the list goes on. If the spin-off was more like Knots Landing or Melrose Place, it might have worked. There was no reason for Monica and Bliss to be related to the Colbys. Jason was not needed at all and neither was Frankie.

I love the name Bailey Louise. It reminds me of Nola Reardon's Kelly Louise.

Not another Abbott Newman pairing

I adore Lauren Hutton and I would keep her as another character. Perhaps the gallerist who is also Allen's mistress. In my mind Linda should have been brunette, stylish and sophisticated. Not necessary a super star. Perhaps a daytime actress or someone famous from the 80s. As I said, the idea is Jackie O meets Sue Ellen, no real casting ideas though.

They should have cast someone younger and more sympathetic for Stephanie's part. Same goes for the husband. Maedchen Amick was perfect and so was John Barrowman. The idea of Lauren Hutton as the mother sounds interesting, but they needed a more charismatic actress for their Jackie O meets Sue Ellen hybrid. Kylie Travis should have been there from the start and a more vibrant actress for Nikki might have helped. I hated the first opening and the second one screamed 80's mini series shot in Italy. The reboot cheapened the show. The original idea was Sex and the City as a real soap opera and it could have been amazing.

During that time I thought that Ellen Winters was the Mary to Jack's Mason Capwell. It was the same period they got Tricia Cast and Nina was quite similar to Christy Duvall. I thought that Y&R was borrowing ideas from Santa Barbara.

I guess the character will be needed for the Jack & Phyllis "mystery".
