Daniel's got more grey hair than Phyllis and Jack combined.

Millee Taggart's Alan/Olivia/Phillip on GL was awesome - I thought there was a lot of subtext in Olivia. I'd love to see that storyline again.

Hey guys! this is YRfan23! I got a new computer, and I couldn't sign into my YRfan23 account, because I guess I lost the loggin info, but somehow, I got reverted back to my original username from 2010...This is very frustrating since I'm already established as YRfan23, but I figured I'd let everyone on here know now, so there's no confusion 

Oh no!! Maybe @Errol or @Toups can help?

When Brittany Hodges first appeared on Y&R (played by Greg Evigan's daughter), John Abbott and Jill agreed she'd be a good match for Billy -- after all, "she's the daughter of our friends Fred and June Hodges of Hodges Savings & Loan!"

Lauren Woodland took over the role of Brittany, and a casting call went out for her parents -- Leland & Paige Hodges, a prominent attorney & his wife.  

By the time the roles had been cast, they'd been transformed into Frederick & Anita Hodges. 

I used to call Mitzi Kapture's character "June Paige Anita".   

Which reminds me - I'm pretty sure there was some confusion early on, with Brittany's name being spelled Britney and her friend Rihanna's name being Brianne.

Everything seems disjointed and pretty much conflict-less. 

BTW I was meaning to add - I completely agree with Jane here. 

One should be careful how they treat suicide. 

Suicide has unbelievable emulation rates. That’s why the news avoid mentioning it whenever possible. If I were writer, I would avoid cliffhangers like this at all costs. In 2022 they’re borderline offensive. And yes, some of the comments here should be more attentive as well. 

Is this MCE’s Emmy Reel?

PS Visually it’s a pathetic ripoff of Tricia’s suicide attempt, circa 2001

This one?

The one I'm looking for was part of this campaign, yes!  

I enjoyed this one too though, thanks!!

Been looking for this forever:

does anyone have that old promo from 2003 which went something like: “Deacon. Macy. Amber. Hot enough for you?”.

Its from the days when Amber disrupted Deacon and Macys wedding.

Russell Davies basically said a decade  ago that UK soaps were going to die if they didn't make  changes (none of the  changes he suggested were followed, sadly).

What did Russell Davies suggest for soaps?

I kinda dig the rivalry. I bet it will last 1 week tops before Brad gets bored.

Did they let new days start mid-episode in the ABC soaps?

Anyone willing to recap the tidbits? Apart from the remote shoot 

Nikki would suit B&B very well.

I have to laugh at them putting so much effort into it when eventually she looks exactly the same! LMAO

It's not a matter of how good your artists are. It depends on your face structure. Which you reeeally cannot change.

She’s been front and center for the most part of her tenure. The character needed a rest and tbh it’s never been that much of a character really. I don’t see what she has to complain. I won’t miss her and I couldn’t care less about Brad not giving the character a proper exit. In fact, I find that even more intriguing. 

Do you think Malone's original run is largely available on YT? Is there a 'Vault' for OLTL? I'd love to see it.

Came across these scenes dubbed in Italian. Have you guys ever seen them?

Thanks for the New Yorker piece.

Anna Stuart on AH's passing:

BTW this must have been discussed already, but here's Sophia Landon doing a great job subbing for Anna Stuart:

KB is gorgeous but she has such hard features — she wasn’t born to wear masks or pass off as someone else. Wish they would realize it and stop putting her in stupid costumes. 

On to bigger and better things?

Didn't P&G release years of episodes on YT in 2008?? That's how I watched AW.

And if P&G doesn't care... why do they bother taking down other people's VHS rips?

This is so tragic. I'll forever be fond of her.

Such raw, insurmountable talent often comes from trauma and a place of darkness. We have to worship our favorites for the gifts they've given us and accept them for who they are. I'll forever be fond of AH and I'll forever wish the best for her. I'm really hoping she gets better on every level.
