Loving/The City Discussion Thread
No need to apologize. Really enkoy reading pposters' perspectives. The thing about Loving's ongoing changes is that it allows us to see how BTS shakeups affect onscreen happenings. More stable shows are less interesting in that respect.

Y&R: Old Articles
Gotta mention Deborah here as she played out the original Jill/John story - intro of the Abbotts and carried Jill successfully in that direction. Even the glimpse we have seen of Bond impressed me - testament to the character of Jill that the recasts over almost 50 years have kept her alive.

Peggy's son Johnny could have been aged and taken the place of Kelly, who was a retconned character (Ed's godson?) Fran's Peggy could be living out of town and Johnny would naturally stay with the Bauers, who raised Peggy. Peggy could visit from time to time. When did Fran start writing soaps?

Y&R: Old Articles
I remember when Deborah returned. I had always loved her take on Jill and here she was in the middle of the divorce interpreting the script as the Jill she knew, so we went from BD's Norma Desmond to DA's more grounded performance. My recollection is of her in Jill's hotel suite set wearing pants and a blouse, way more subdued than Brenda's costumes.

Y&R to air classic episodes
Ryan had about 10 years on the show right? Been married a few times, no family so time to write him off to clear space for new characters. Pity that at some point it was decided to keep way too many actors/characters. That's why I supported Brad going. Michael/Kevin/Chelsea/Phyllis etc should be gone to allow core characters new people to interact with rather than going around in circles.

Y&R to air classic episodes
Brock/Beau should have been given an on air tribute and died offscreen. The 45th anniversary episode should have dealt with Brock's death. He was Mac's father, had relationships (romantic and otherwise) with Lorie, Leslie, Julia, Esther, Jill etc all of whom were apart of that anniversary week. Plenty of opportunities for flashbacks to a character who was part of the show for many years.
