Y&R May 2024 Discussion Thread
Can Josh Morrow really decide what his storyline is and what involvements he wants for Nick? Still puzzled as to why GCAC can have background people but CL is always empty. Anyway today's director was smart and kept to tight shots in CL and Society so the lack of extras wasn't noticeable. Sharon Case isn't looking her best. Let's leave it at that.

Well she did have sex with Ray, so her taste in men is questionable...

BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos
Definitely not mega wealthy characters, but some well to do and others striving to move up. A mix of relatable characters whose lifestyles can be depicted realistically within the budget of a daytime show. And if there are businesses, again something specific that can be utilized if needed-not one of those vague corporations.

Never Too Young
Interesting to see Dr Leong in the cast list. Most likely an Asian character/actor which was unusual at the time. I'm not sure what ABC's strategy was with NTY-obviously targeting the youth audience but limited because of that. Dark Shadows had youth appeal but initially was a more adult serial.

Hopefully there will be photos and stories from this event. As for being blocked, posters are entitled to do that. Just as everyone else is entitled to post freely (within guidelines) I enjoy most of the posts and those that I disagree with or dislike, I simply move on. Don't think it's worth my time to be annoyed/upset.

Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread
Taping the show straight through was standard practice at that time. It was only when shows went to an hour that they began taping out of sequence. I remember reading that Days struggled when they went to an hour because they were still trying to tape the show straight through and it was too hard on the actors. At some point I assume RH was no longer 'live tape' and began taping out of sequence as tape editing became more sophisticated.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread
Seeking some clarity re Lynne Adams. She played Leslie 66-71. Did she choose to leave? I imagine so. GL recast with Kathryn Hays and then Barbara Rodell. Did they drop Kathryn when Barbara was killed off on Secret Storm, perhaps feeling Barbara would do better in the role? I'm assuming Kathryn wasn't there long and wasn't working out for whatever reason. Then also in 71 Lynne takes over as Amy on Secret Storm and plays that role until Jada Rowland decides to return to the role. I can see why SS would want Jada as she was t most identified with that role. If Lynne left GL to spread her wings she wasn't away long before coming back to soaps. So Lynne is out of a job at SS so GL drops Barbara so Lynne can return. However it appears Barbara was popular as Leslie so why would GL dump her for Lynne? Can anyone give a definitive response/timeline?

Y&R: Marla Adams has passed
It was great that Sally Sussman brought Dina/Marla back to Y&R but I wish that before the Alzheimers story Dina had been allowed to be a kick ass older woman causing the fur to fly In GC. Marla would have nailed it. Instead we got the dottery old lady trope.

Another example of an actor enjoying scenes that may not be so well received by viewers. I caught some of Eileen's Southern Belle...
