Thank you. I was SUCH a huge fan of Miner & Buffington.

Ever heard this about Miner & Buffington? Rachel was fired in early 1995, by Jill Farren Phelps. Bryan was fired in fall 1997, by Rauch and MADD, to 'hunkify' him (and turn him into an Aryan in training, apparently). So, Vanessa, did my reply make you happy? I'm surprised no one wanted to have a go at these 2 "what ifs".

Well, sometime you get what you wish for because as the case may be I am retired. I am both retired and disabled.

As much as we'd like all our favorites to stay on forever, they just have to retire at times. Nancy Curlee Demorest, Nancy Williams Watt, etc. and these are folks who can't be tempted back out of retirement!

John who? And, yes, Dusty & Molly historical retcon plus Jack & Molly historical retcon! When Jack should have been in Chicago but Jack's whole family took part in the retcon of Jack & Molly having crushes on each other as teens. Every Snyder reinforced that retcon! Is the John Dusty treated poorly John Dixon? Well, that little beast. Who was he living with? Not John? LMAO, this Oh Snap clip is getting me!

This quote is of me: Okay, Scott Holroyd was fired. Roger Howarth was brought on. Dusty claimed not to have been to college when before that retcon he had been to Harvard. Leah Laiman had been brought on. Holden had sex with Rose & didn't realize it *was* Rose, instead thinking it was Lily (which is one of soap's ridiculous tropes). Holden had a hilarious reaction to Rose's Native New Jersey accent. Rose paid for her sins by being killed off. Lily was supposed to have grieved the loss of Rose through song & for a long time. Now, someone has told me all of this happened on air. So, I may have gotten confused about some stuff about Lily & Rose & Dusty & Roger Howarth. Thanks.

Someone told me today that ATWT got its 4th Emmy when Holden found Lily dressed as Rose in Atlantic City. Was the 4th the last one or did they have a 5th one?

Pam was headwriter for three years and then left to have a child. "Bradley Raines was Pam's favorite character creation," Jay said, recalling Pam's three years with the show. "He exemplified evil and he forced good people to react in various ways. He was a great catalyst for drama. There was a dark side to him. "But, the character Pam created that (the actress Pam) would most like to play is Reva! Pam loves her warmth, her impulsiveness, that she was free-spirited, that she came from humble roots and her humanity. They're drawn to her humanity. It makes her special." This quote is from Christopher Schemering's GL 50th Anniversary book & Pam's husband.

Do you know what stories/what resistance? Was Gail Kobe Pam's EP still? And, was RCulliton writing on Pam's Team? I've read that she loved Reva Shayne just as much as we all would imagine. I've also read that she really wanted to teach Bradley a lesson.

YEP you are right! Insane. Waste of money!

Bwa Ha Ha Ha Ha And, I mean they transported her from the studio to her house by helicopter. By helicopter! And, she didn't even work 5 days a week! NO. She worked 4!

Well, hell yeah, she is! I hated that they never brought her back & gave her both roles. Did you hear the anecdote about her feet? Some of us were recently watching a SOAPnet Reunion where we got to see Felicia & Wally flying down the hill in a truck, out of control, and they ran into TallBoys. KaBoom! So, Kale asked Ellen if she knew they were always having to check her by her feet. Clearly Ellen did not know what he was getting at. So, he went on with his tale. Anna Stuart was cracking up. They could not tell who they were acting with - was it Marley or was it Vicky?!!!! Here was their clue: Marley stood pigeon-toed & Vicky stood with her feet turned out. Isn't that hilarious?! We have someone over in the Facebook Group I'm in & she (Gloria) was a friend of Brent Collins (Wallingford). She even sat with the family for the funeral. She shares anecdotes with us!

On Facebook, I blog soap operas. I have in excess of 235 topics on my blog index. Most of it comes from studying texts. Most of it does not come from copy/paste. More of it is short than is long. More of it is not word for word. My posting at Facebook is different than my posting here. The groups I post in on Facebook are my own Profile Page & Wall; "I Miss Another World; "Talking TV" and "Anne Heche".

Yes, that's the way it will go.

Oh, yeah, very good point. Okay, I said up front one post was too long & had too much spoiler space in it, so you're right about that one. Other posts were short & just were talk about content. Just a minute ago I used a link & it will be hard to follow because the original convo had so much about story & HWs, etc. with spoiler space & arguments about whether rumors needed spoiler space. Thanks for your comments. I'm trying.

Look, @DarnI'm not copy/pasting & I'm not doing entire threads either. I'm just talking through them. Ya know, convo? Hit & Miss!

Oh no no no no no no no NO.

If you had to put person or persons on recurring at a certain point, who would you do? Frank DiCopoulous (Frank Cooper) Bradley Cole (Jeffrey O'Neill) David Andrew MacDonald (Edmund Winslow) Justin Deas (Buzz Cooper) In order of preference, I would put Frank, Bradley and David on recurring. If you had to do away with one element of story-telling at GL, would it be the Santos mob family San Cristobel Island & the royalty that went with it Roger's son, Sebastian I would do away with all 3!

That is a great Wikipedia page & Rita Mae Brown went out of her way to speak so highly of her!! Thanks for the link.

@Xanthe, oh, yes, it definitely could be a confusion of two talented famous blonde Susans!
