I agree

Chance so far is not making much of an impression. But MO is hardly the pro to help him lift his game. He does look younger than her. Thank the Lord Jill is back. Jess needs to stay around and become an active part of the show. She can elevate the crummiest of stories.

Dorothy Green spoke out about the writing of Y&R women over 40. I think that was before Jen bit the dust. Retaliation on Bill's part? Well they were either doormats(Liz) or neurotics desperate for validation from men. No confident businesswomen in that group. Was Dina, despite her conniving, the first more positive portrayal? Maybe not as it said she had to desert her family to achieve that success. I guess Jill grew into that role and later Ashley.

Y&R was popular in australia in terms of daytime soaps but it's afternoon timeslot precluded it from becoming a household name. also it was pre-empted over Summer due to sports coverage (cricket) so viewers on vacation never got the chance to get into it. B&B on the other hand aired at 4.30pm which meant it was available to way more viewers-school kids/college students and workers who were home by that time. It also aired year round.

Traci is going to write a book about Dina's life in Paris. Nina is going to write articles for Chance.Com Faith and Moses go on dates. Lily had to go to LA to help Mattie. Gloria is going to run some division of Fenmores. Imani and Amanda are going into business together. Jack has no home or place of business and spends his days at Society, Crimson Lights and Grim Funnel. There are no other people living in GC.

Ellen was hard done by. They didn't bring back her daughters, especially Dee who still had story potential, with only one marriage under her belt. Unlike Annie who had 3 marriages and 4 children'. Any or all of Ellen's quad grandkids could have been SORASED but no dice. He fell for her when he had amnesia and was calling himself Donald Saunders. Ellen was made frumpy to be believable as the mother of Sorased Dan. I think John Colenback was only a couple of years younger than Pat Bruder.

Good point as this summary from 1965 hints at that Don reestablishes his on-again/off-again romance with Ellen, but Ellen is close to accepting David's wedding proposal. David/Ellen was the biggest wedding the show had ever done so the writing must have leaned towards Ellen romancing Don b/c she felt she didn't deserve David after all she'd been through. She and Don had always been close. This is something that could have been used in later years as Ellen comforts Don over Joyce for example and David gets jealous. Instead David and Ellen became tentpoles. Ellen was even dropped at one point in 75.

Hardly a week goes by without a network or streamer announcing some sort of reboot or re-imagining of an old TV series. So before the well runs dry I'm challenging our talented posters to submit their own. You can be as creative as you like, adhering to the original concept or using it as a starting point. If you have casting ideas, please include. Should be fun. To get things started Barnaby Jones (original 1973-80)Barnaby Jones is a formerly retired investigator who with widowed daughter-in-law, run a private detective firm in LA. Jeddediah Jones, a much younger cousin Barnaby eventually joined the firm. Reboot Barnaby Jones is a 50 something silver fox who likes to use 'traditional' detective methods to solve crimes. Luckily his beautiful Asian American daughter in law Betty Lin Jones is a tech wiz and can often step in to assist Barnaby. Also in the cast Barnaby's nephew Jed a 20 something Latin male who sparks some sexual tension with Betty. Harte to Harte Original Hart to Hart 79-84 Self-made millionaire Jonathan and freelance writer Jennifer are the Harts - a globetrotting married couple with a talent for finding mysteries wherever they go. Reboot Jonathan Harte is a young black tech billionaire who together with his influencer wife Gennifer play amateur detectives. Get the idea? Looking forward to your concepts.

Edge could have gone to 4pm on CBS instead of switching to ABC. I wonder if that was considered?

Was just thinking about Ellen Lowell Stewart and the number of people close to her that died. 1. As a young woman, she lost her father Jim suddenly. 2. Then she marries Tim, the father of her child but he dies leaving her a widow. 3. Then Betty Stewart, adoptive mother of her son dies 4. Her best friend Penny's husband Jeff dies in a car crash. 5. David's housekeeper Franny dies and she is accused of murder. 6. Her stepfather Doug dies suddenly. 7. Penny's 2nd husband Neil dies 8, 9, 10.Daughter in law Liz, and stepson Paul both die and a few years later her son Dan passes away 11. She is widowed for the 2nd time when David dies. probably a few more could be included. Ellen probably had a selection of black outfits at the ready.

Thanks for clearing that up. Jeanne clutching Beau...we know what that was about! The Chancellor living room. Which characters in that photo never actually set foot on that set? Stuart and Jennifer? Brad? Lorie? Anyone know for sure?

Never seen this photo before...is it photoshopped?

Radio Mirror August 1952 What Ever Happened To . . . Olive Stacy, the girl who first played the role of Connie Thayer on the television serial, The First Hundred Years? (The part is now played by - Anne Sargent.) The strain of doing a daily camera show, with the long hours of rehearsal, was too heavy for Olive, so she resigned her role. She has done nothing professionally since, and at the moment is back in her home town, Rochester, New York. This summer, Olive plans to tour the Eastern part of the United States with her sister, Frances Klute, who will be shooting scenic spots for the Eastman Kodak Company. Frances is one of their top color photographers. Incidentally, the story that Olive had married, and was expecting a baby, is untrue. This was erroneously printed in many newspaper columns about the country.

There are no words.

The clip of Jo's commercial for council is a nice tribute to Mary Stuart. Nice that at that point the show was recognizing Jo/Mary and her legacy when later regimes seemed to sideline her. Interesting that they ignored her longest running marriage to Arthur, instead talking about her being a young widow and then mentioning her marriage to Tony. The Corringtons were doing a good job of integrating the old and the new, but then the show began dropping too many characters Jo marrying Martin seemed, on paper a good way of integrating her into the new family on the show but did anyone like Jo and Martin? In the scenes where she was showing off her wedding dress, Kathy and Ellie were talking about her new romance as like a fairy tale and Jo was agreeing but Mary played it like she thought the reality would be different(which it was) It seemed doomed from the start, which was unfair to Jo. I think viewers would have been happy to see her in a satisfying marriage, not without it's challenges as she tried to be a part of a new clan, but overall a good match. Instead Jo became a nag and a drag. Where and why did that all go wrong?

I can't believe that SB would expect any financial aid from 'fans' through Patreon. The guy has had steady well paid employment for years as well as 'side hustles'. If he is not financially secure by this point then that's on him. Anyway the whole Patreon thing bugs me full stop.

And Bunim, in her Afternoon TV interview at the time, said one of the changes at ATWT would be to introduce 'key lighting' to highlight faces and reduce shadows.
