Contessa Donatella

What rumors? I don't really get it. The cast looks fine. Kristina just showed progress for the first time in ... a long time. For awhile the story with Lucky was no story but that's not true anymore. Now suddenly people complain? To me finally Liz & Lucky are excellent. And, no, I do not think that Kristina was being manipulative with Molly. I think she was being genuine. It's a start, a good one. She felt sorry for what she'd done. She did not say Adela. To Molly she said your sister and your daughter. How is this not progress?

Hate to say it, but here goes, Me, too!! Poor Tomas? NOT!!!

Well, there's romance & there's romance, two different things. You're speaking of attraction & love between people but in the grander sense of the word it refers to, well, the grandness of life. And, when it comes to soaps, neither is the Harlequin thing. I love both on soaps but I can't stand that kind of paperback book.

Well, that definitely doesn't work when you get to Anna Stuart returning as Donna Love. I am sure most fans were delighted with her return.

Hilarious!!! I'd completely forgotten about this going on.

Now I took it as a good thing that she moved from my sister and daughter to ours and then on to yours! Not that she's not both Sonny's and Alexis's cause she is both! Also a good thing that she did not say Adela. Credit where due. That idea was stupid. Sonny would be so much sicker if he needed a heart!!

I wish more was known about all that didn't happen to the Doctors! Why did they not go forward with the hour long version?

That's not exactly my impression of how it happened. They had it in their heads that they needed Iris long before they actually talked to Beverlee about it. By that time VW had suggested to her that she play hardball with them in regards to a new contract, which she did & is the reason she got so much money & also the star billing. Since they wanted her more than she wanted them, she had a distinct advantage.

@Maxim @Maxim What was it? @Maxim

On my cut list Brad is top of the list.

Well, there's plenty we disagree about but it really doesn't matter. The thing is I am under the impression that they did not know what they were doing at TEXAS. Maybe that is an incorrect impression but I really don't think it is. If they'd had good sense on how to best use Beverlee things might have been so different. I know hindsight is hardly fair. I'm sure they tried their best. I always come back to wondering what if they'd stuck with their original idea. It always seemed a helluva lot more interesting that Daytime's version of The Ewings on a big ass ranch, if you know what I mean & I'm sure you do.

Brad's best days were when Britt was alive, so basically long ago. Recently Brad has been one big zero.

Welcome. I always list the soaps I have not seen because that's a shorter list. Then, of course, you have people like me who name ConWest as the absolute worst of the worst. Have you ever tried to track down Weston's "writing" before this? And, of course, I knew the first soap journo to interview her & say that she didn't even know how to "act" like a writer. Then, we know what her ideas were for characters. Add in that they did the whole Carruthers storyline to give a friend a job.

It was rather unusual since it is rare when lots of soap fans agree on any one thing.

Uh, i just have to ask are you new to soaps? Erica Kane, Rachel Davis Cory, ATWT's Lisa, ...

Which soap?

The only way I know of where this work out is if the information was on pink pages where pink pages refer to new or changed information.

You're not any kind of girl!!

She is a musical force of nature. @Maxim

It's amazing to me that the "people" actively tried to prevent her from doing this song because they said people wouldn't be able to tell it was her. NUTS!! @Maxim

Roscoe Born talented, nuanced, brilliant, bi-polar, probably bad rep undeserved. He walked off a set, kept walking BUT it was the EP's fault. He found out right before it was going to be revealed in the next scene his character was a child pornographer & a pedophile. They had not told him in advance. That was at AMC. Angela Shapiro tried to blackball him. "Never work in this town again." Both ATWT & GL hired him. My pleasure.

So love hearing this! And, yes, the stories about Ruth Warrick, both anecdotal accounts just make me laugh so loud & long plus that Charita Bauer was so outraged that she wanted to leave with only one 15 minute segment left!!! JFP of course and one good one of Wheeler. It's on the We Love Soaps dot net Roger Newcomb site. You have to play around to get that site to load now but it is still there & accessible. That site also has a great 5 part interview with Pete Lemay & another with Claire Labine.

Love each & confident in each.

Get rid of Susan & Maybe I will come for you.

Terrible & as fans we had to contend with her & with 6 months of VERY TERRIBLE Michael Malone. AWFUL time. NBC & P&G took turns picking the EP. She was NBC.
