Eww. Sorry, Alex Alegria does not do anything for me, plus he can't act at all. Kat vs. Eva is the sister rivalry BtG needs. I agree that Tomas is no prize.

Hahaha, for sure

@Maxim Your girl Brooke has an heiress apparent in Beyond the Gates Vanessa McBride. I pointed out in the BtG thread that Vanessa makes Brooke look angelic.

MTS and EB are Y&R's longest-running cast members and I think the bulk of the salary budget is going to them. PB must also have a large salary. So many regimes have tried to send EB to the retirement home but all have failed. EB is going to be on Y&R either until it ends or until he goes to that daytime drama in the sky.

Do not give CBS/Sony ideas.

@Khan Thanks for the reply. BtG is still finding its way and despite the flaws its still more enjoyable than current Y&R. The Y&R monthly threads are so small now, whereas I can barely keep up with the BtG threads.

The real Genoa City, Wisconsin is just over the Illinois state line. When the Bells were based in Chicago they had a vacation home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. I think the Y&R 25th anniversary book made mention that the Bells took Genoa City as the setting for Y&R as they passed through the town on their way from Chicago to Lake Geneva.

@Khan Great to see you posting in the BtG thread. How are you finding BtG so far?

Crimson Lights is 31 years old and the age is showing. I believe it's the oldest set currently in use.

Honestly, no. Josh Griffith needs to go. Bradley did not inherit his father's talent.

@vetsoapfan @j swift Thank you for the answers. Totally agree. All soap writers need to note this.

I was like, "you tell her Andre". I somehow remember Shanice checking for Andre, and she was a little thirsty for him too.

@vetsoapfan How would you rank these vixens: Lisa Miller the OG vixen, Agnes Nixon creations Rachel Davis and Erica Kane, Bill Bell creations Jill Foster and Brooke Logan.

Annie big moments in her last year were breakdown on the witness stand, overdose, and the exit story from the wedding arrest to her jumping off the plane. Good thing I didn't watch any episodes/clips after Annie exit.

Flaws and all, BtG is still more enjoyable than the hot garbage that's Y&R.

I never thought of the Columbia Pictures angle. Bill Bell's writing kept the action/adventure elements from venturing too deep into General Hospital and Days territory.

@Taoboi I know I'm not the only person who thinks that.

@Broderick Also during H. Wesley Kenney's run as EP, Y&R got more action/adventure elements in the storylines. Although Y&R's action/adventure elements were tame compared to General Hospital and Days in that same time, I don't really feel they suited Y&R. I wonder if adding action/adventure was Bill Bell's own choice or it was CBS mandated to compete with General Hospital and Days. Notice that when Ed Scott takes over, all the action/adventure elements are gone and Y&R becomes more corporate. There are some H. Wesley Kenney interviews floating around where he said he left Y&R for General Hospital because of the money General Hospital offered him and that his time on Y&R were the best years of his professional life. H. Wesley Kenney laid the groundwork for Y&R as we know it today, but Ed Scott ended up getting all the credit for Y&R becoming #1.

Agree. Vanessa is a nasty ho. She makes Brooke Logan look angelic.

I don't think Victor interacted with Cricket when she was a Jabot model. IIRC Victor first interacted with lawyer Christine in 1995 during Nick's trial.

I've pointed this out before but I think Pamela Long diminished Vanessa in favor of her creations Reva and Alexandra. It's quite telling that Maeve Kinkead made no reference to Pamela Long in her Emmy speech.
