Wasted on Y&R and now being wasted on Days

I agree.   It is such a shame.

There must be a lot more to the Diane Jeremy story than we know or at least I hope so because frankly I'm not buying the whole Stark Threat at all.

1. Jeremy is upset about $250K taken 6 years ago. As he mentioned that's like $25/hour for the time he spent in prison - not counting inflation! Yet he's in sharp suits and kicking it at a luxury hotel.

2. And everyone, including Victor, acts like Jeremy is some ruthless killer and is shaking in their boots. Heck, half of GC has tried or actually killed someone. I'm don't see the hysteria leading to Phyllis' firing by Aunt Jack, Kyren and SuperGirl. Honestly, having MS work more with MG is a positive.

3. Diane offered to pay Jeremy back, Jack offered double the money, which still isn't much for the GC 1%ers,  yet he's not really biting.

I think Diane/Jeremy are together. And her arrival in GC several months before his release has to more there's something more. Diane could've come back to GC years ago, but she didn't.

Agree 1000%

She has no one to blame but herself though. lol. Giggly Heffa. 

Yes she does, Diane, JackAss, and Summer for letting them brainwash her against her own mom.  Diane is much worse than Phyllis. Phyllis never faked her death for 10 and a half years and make others look like they killed her and leave their child for that long.  Diane is the one who got involved with Stark and caused this.  Phyllis only got him to town quicker.  He'd found her himself.

Demetrius is so hot I had to look him up lol. He first appeared in November,right before Thanksgiving. Body for days, and they keep filming him from the side, which shows off one killer butt.

 

I don’t think CW is Ill. I think she’s had work done.

 

I think Cynthia Watros looks better than she ever has.

Awwww I’m gonna miss the Brad/Britt friendship so much. They were always so good together. 

Hopefully, they give Brad a man. Or at least bring back Lucas. 

They should do both.  I cannot understand how Carly whose one of the lead women characters on the show, doesn't have her brother as a lead character.

Recast with someone hot, please.  The obvious choice is that temporary recast that played Nik recently.  He was so intense and had so much chemistry with his scene partners-- we need that kind of energy on the show every day!!

Agreed.   IF NOT, maybe bring back Tyler Christopher, although with his history am a little leery of them doing that.  I also thought of former ALL MY CHILDREN cast members Justin Breuning (ex-Jamie Martin) 43, and  Collin Egglesfield(ex-Josh Madden), who is 49. 

I was shocked when I saw this when I glanced at my phone this afternoon, I was hoping I had misread the People Breaking News.   So sad at 55,only 2 years older than myself. My best friend who would've been that same age died last year of covid at 54.   It's so shocking and sad.

Why?   Well they need to give that brother a new & improved sister, re-cast Sloan!!

Lol!  The sister Mary Moira stuff was bad.  Why did she keep talking about it?  No one cares Brady kissed you at ALL.  

I am enjoying Nicole/Eric/Sloane etc but the actress that plays Sloane is not very good at love scenes lol and considering it's half of what she's been given that is not great.  She's definitely overacting on a lot of those scenes and I would hope that's not how she actually acts in the bedroom in real life.

Sloan should be recast IMHO.

Why do I feel like Mac really is Cody's father...but Cody was really about that necklace? 

Cody is Mac's father.  And yeah I do think he really was about that necklace, but he actually started wanting to be Mac's son, and unexpectedly found himself falling for Britt.

Yes, the problem is she's not Eileen, but Ron didn't get the memo.  I think SH is talented, but she's not ED and she never will be.  SH does not need to be playing multiple characters.  No one needs Sister Mary Moira in their lives.  It's just wasted time on our screens and I think Ron thinks it's cheeky or funny, but it's not.

Agreed.

Valentin is both the most convoluted and least interesting, corniest male lead on the show.

James Patrick Stuart(Valentin) has become one of my faves on the show. I do not find him "corny" or "least interesting" although agree about Valentin' s original year or so on the show.

Having very low expectations and just laughing at the storylines makes me enjoy this soap better.

Stacy Haiduk is just horrible playing the other characters besides Kristen. 

The only story that is compelling right now is Eric and Nicole and I've never been a fan of hers.

Everything else is ridiculous with a lot of bad acting.

Leo holding Sonny hand in yesterday's episode was ridiculous and no way would Sonny allow it.

The Leo and Sonny crap is beyond stupid.   I think Stacy Haiduk was good as Susan, probably better than as Kristen.  The writers have just written both characters different than when Eileen Davidson played them.

If Mike Manning is in other projects such as The Bay, I'm fine with that.  It's good when actors get work.

Agreed!

They really do. They’ve gotta be like 5 years apart.

Charles Shaughnessy(Victor) is 67.   James Patrick Stuart (Valentine) is 54.  So NO not 5 years apart, and NO IMHO they don't look it either.   13 years apart,  a little too close in age, yes.

I haven't been able to watch or read recaps, I've been really busy.  Has the current Jeff interacted with Monica at all?  The characters were married once.  

It was a really big storyline, Monica married to Jeff but she was also involved with his brother Rick.  I remember watching that live.

I mean, if they're going to have dialog about Jeff's commitment issues, shouldn't Monica come up in the conversation somewhere?  In that case it was Monica's commitment issues but ... that could have affected Jeff's future interactions.

Jeff was NEVER shown with Monica.  In fact, Leslie Charleson(Monica) hasn't been seen in quite sometime.   I am wondering and a little worried about her health.

SO sick of Jack Abbott being so dumb and being such an a$$ to Phyllis. I hope now that Diane and Jack marry, and she takes him for every last dollar he has, and maybe drugs him into looking like he's got Alzheimer's.  Suit his dumba$$!

Diane was not Always Evil you know, maybe the pain she went through the last few years made her reform, She didn't do anything yet at least nothing I've heard of, she's at most trying to survive and fighting back, If she goes crazy and begins To mess everyone's Lifes it's on the UNHOLY Trinity

Now I'll be dumb and ask did Amanda Die or was she written off? I have still to catch up on the last 15 or 20 episodes of the show but I heard a lot of talk about her getting out of the picture, Was It The Actress' decision? I hope the show wasn't stupid enough to lose a second time

Amanda left town after catching Devon & Abby having sex on the counch, Chance also saw them as well.   She resigned from Hamilton-Winters via a message to Lily (Lily read the letter).  Amanda went back to Virginia to be with Maya, her stepfather and Imani, who has also been axed offscreen, since Leigh Ann Rose never came back from her leave of absense and her fill-in Denise Boute left. It was Mishael Morgan's decision to go recurring and to leave, I think due to how Y&R was not using her.

Oh, goodness. I wouldn't know where to start. THE GOOD list pretty is much self-explanatory. THE BAD list are the recasts that I considered tolerable. THE UGLY list are the ones that I loathe deliciously (but in a fun way).

THE GOOD

• Peter Bergman (Jack Newman; Y&R)
•  
• Roger Howarth (Paul Ryan; ATWT)
•  
• Hunt Block ((Craig Montgomery; ATWT))
•  
•  

THE BAD

•  
• Martha Madison (Belle Black Brady; DAYS)
• Robert Kelker-Kelly (Bo Brady; DAYS)

 

THE UGLY

 

• Stacy Haiduk (Stacy Dimera; DAYS)
•  

On your THE GOOD list, it's Jack Abbott, lol, I know a simple mistake.   I don't think I ever saw anyone say Roger Howarth was good as Paul on ATWT, same goes for Hunt Block as Craig.  BOTH Robert Kelker-Kelly as Bo and Martha Madison as Belle were/are good recasts.   RKK's real life antics were bad, but he did a good job as Bo, and that's coming from a Bo & Hope fan.   Martha is a good Belle,  even though she's a lot different than Kirsten Storms, whom we now see on GH as Maxie, and who'd want her as Belle now, no way.   I don't even like her as Maxie any longer.   THE UGLY recast was Charity Rahmer as Belle.

Stacy Haiduk is a good recast as KRISTEN, you calling her "Stacy" doesn't make her a different character LMFAO!,  A little young yes, the show writes her crazier and different yes, but THAT is NOT the actress's fault.

Joss and Dex will have sex before Trina and Spencer hold hands.

I do not like Joss & Dex.  I think it ruins her character that she is doing Cam dirty.  I saw some rumors, not saying they're true, that he might turn out to be Morgan with plastic surgery. I think it would be funny if Joss made the moves on Dex ,and he stops her and yells "Stop I'm Your Brother, Morgan!"  LOL, it would suit Carly Jr right IMHO. 

I think Charles Shaughnessy is doing a great job as Victor Cassadine. Charles has ggiven such a smarminess, evilness to Victor, he doesn't seem like Shane from DAYS at all. 

Awesome news about Molly Burnett.   I think she's great on LAW & ORDER SVU. I too hated her as Melanie on DAYS. But realizedit was DAYS' writing of Melanie that I hated, when Molly did a great job filling as Maxie on GH for a few episodes and did great, better than Kirsten Storms.

Chance was WAY too nice to Abby.  Can't say the same for Amanda, lol.  She really let Devon have it with both barrels.  That was a good "swan song" for Amanda, if she's planning to bow out for good.  

Closing credits today indicated Rory Gibson and Miss Wang have bitten the dust.  

Gibson nor Wang have bitten the dust, they've gone to recurring.  Which is stupid IMHO.

Question why do you list Cynthia Watros as Nina Clay,  Nina has gone by Nina Reeves for at least Watros's run. Plus the actress who plays Charlotte, is Amelie not Amelia McLain. Why do you have Johnny Wactor (ex-Brando) listed as contract, not on thismonth, he's no longer on the show, Brando was killed off!

GH: I'm shocked that Lucky and Lulu aren't on the canvas for Laura. Genie Francis is an icon for that show and deserves better story. 

Y&R: I'd like to see Tucker and Billy recast. Both of the actors for me bring down any scene they are in. I just don't think they fit. Jason Thompson doesn't even look like the rest. Yes, I know he's a "half-sibling", but so is Ashley and she still looks like Jack and Tracy.  Trevor St. John can't play menacing. It comes off cartoonish. 

 

 

Agree wholeheartedly on GH's Lucky and Lulu.  Both should be on the show front and center.  Lucky NOT Finn should be involved in Elizabeth's story with her parents.   Lulu should come out of the coma, for a good triangle with Dante & Sam.  I'd be up for Jacob Young as a returning Lucky.  I think he'd be much better than he was when he was younger, and I thinik the show's decision to bleache blond his hair was a mistake IMHO.   Another choice is DAYS' Greg Vaughan(Eric), whom I think was the best adult Lucky.   I'd be ok with either Julie Berman or Emme Rylan returning as Lulu, especially Julie.  If not, then recast.    I'd of course recast Maxie, as I've said previously.

As far as  Y&R, I gotta disagree with ya.   I think Jason Thompson is the best Billy, as Jess Walton has said in interviews, he looks more like he could be her son.   I liked Trevor St John as former Todd, then Victor on ONE LIFE to LIVE, and think he's doing very good as Tucker, even though he's 20 years younger than prior Tucker, Stephen Nichols, he doesn't look that much younger.

On Y&R, they should bring back Colleen from the dead.  They did it with Diane, they now can with her.   I'd be ok with a recast, but for story sake it'd be better with a former Colleen in the role.   Sometimes I like Melissa Ordway as Abby, sometimes she irritates me and lately she's looking older, and unbelieable as Ashley's daughter.   I might recast her with someone younger.
