Okay, there was Francesca from Frank & Natalia, an infant. The only other child I can recall at the end was Sarah, a toddler. Max was the baby that didn't make it & he had a nice tribute marker outside the mansion, on the side, but he was Ava's, wasn't he, not Dinah's? Who am I not thinking of? And, if I've just tangled this up beyond belief, sorry. Hope not. Oh, wait, Sarah is Jonathan's & Lizzie's right? But, Bill & Lizzie are together at the end & she & Jon are co-parenting. If I'm correct Sarah could only be Vanessa's as chosen family, not blood kin. Okay, see my post just below here, but I am now totally confused. I wonder why Nancy Curlee Demorest never came back!! Actually, that's a bald-faced lie. I know why I just want a chance to be upset about it. Again. More.

I absolutely, totally, completely LOVED Rachel Miner & Bryan Buffington as young Michelle & Bill & will die on that hill trying to argue down anyone who does not share that love!!!! You have been fairly warned. LOL!!! And, yes, Eve was a square peg in an octagonal shaped hole!!! Didn't the triumvirate begin in 1990? (Curlee-Demorest-Reilly) And, who is Jones?

This is flat-out nitpick but I do not think ABC is a part of the equation. Now, Disney, yes, The Mouse company IS in many equations. Disney is why we have Brick, Varni & why Frank's higher-ups are not doing what the production company usually does, which is to mandate a smaller cast. Frank has a problem with letting people go. Disney & Varni actually like this big thing & its ability to have variety by rotating characters off & on screen. I think Disney is dead wrong - about all these things!!!! The sportscaster is not a journeyman level competent actor, has no charisma, has no stage presence; Varni does not get soaps or fans; this cast is bloated & not minimally so, hugely oversized. At least this is my take on the overall set-up.

Totally. True to form, while Dani embodies certain things we've seen in prior soaps, she is also quite an original in a way. And, the mugshot photoshoot is one good example. Never saw anyone do that before. I don't see how we can get past the fact that she is so darn much fun. So human, so flawed. Is her personality too big for an ordinary person's life? We know her daughter's think she is overbearing but I wonder if others see that side of her. She is the way she is about her girls because she cares so much about their success. If she cares that much for anyone else I suspect their names is Dupree. I bet Nicole is maternal with her clients. Big moment when Eva made the decision to turn Leslie in!!! Leslie to a degree has blinders on about Ted, so Eve does not have to worry about beging found out. Dani could have bribed the waitstaff at any point ahead of time & it just being played out then. Hayley even said herself that she knew it was going to take time but that she was patient. Then, oops, suddenly after the honeymoon-ette, no more patience, decidely IMpatient!

Given how much story was created by her death, do you still hold that position? I do not think it was. My reasons? 1. writers' quote: Liz & Lucky's relationship is "foundational" to our vision of the current canvas. 2. Just finally declared their mutual feelings of love for one another. Edit to add: Personally I think Korte sees Liz & Lucky as her Luke & Laura and Jason & Carly as her Brenda & Sonny. And, to me, this just writes itself. It's all right there. She just has to get out of her own damn*d way.

Classic Primetime Miniseries - Trashy or Classy?
You just crack me up! Your sense of humor is so wicked, dry, omni-present. Right on, my friend

Now I highly doubt that. I figure Dani is definitely one of their bright stars. Now this is someone I recognize as our girl Dani. Andre & Nicole seem a bit too clinical if you ask me. Nicole deserves to have time when she's not shrinking someone's head. Yes, I absolutely loved her scenes with her mom. I don't follow. How did Hayley self-sabotage? Although, no, I don't imagine Dani instructing all the servers to ignore one specific person & then bribing them all.

Closeted (gay) actors formerly on the soaps
When we lived in Brooklyn & they did as well, we were at some parties at their place. Pizza & word games. Fun.

Not to be mean, LOL, and then you proceed to do just that. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm going to respectfully suggest an edit: Despite it sounding mean-spirited there's just something about her that doesn't work for me. How's that? You are free to reject my suggestion, of course. LOL!
