If it really is a money thing, then I'm sure they've had some extra money accumulating since Joe Mascolo has been gone. The cast isn't that full of "big names" right now. There seem to be constant rumors of Lorenzo Lamas leaving. And Antonio Sabato Jr. is on the way out. The only other characters they seem to be adding lately are younger ones (Harry and Shane). Although they did bring in that de Vry guy, but I'm not sure that Storm is sticking around after Taylor's trial.

DAMN. Now this is one person I wouldn't mind B&B giving over to Y&R. Betty and Debbi Morgan, y'all can have Frantz back.

But seriously, Betty White....that's INSANE.

Betty White and Susan Flannery together in a dynamite storyline equals all sorts of AMAZINGNESS. Even if its just temporary, that still ROCKS.

God, I sure hope BB doesn't screw this one up. Sometimes I think he does that stuff on purpose just to stick it to CBS and say "if we were an hour..."

Good casting move. Betty can play sweet, but she can sure play mean-spirited. I about cracked up on that old CBS show Ladies Man from a few years ago when Betty was sleeping, someone tried to wake her up and she bolted upright yelling "the password is Crisco!"

Priceless stuff. :lol:

Hmmm...I smell a [!@#$%^&*] up coming on.

I *LOVE* Betty White and casting her as Stephanie's mom is genius and inspired. My only concern with this story, however, is where is John Douglas in this situation? From the way he has been described to me(and correct me if I'm wrong diehard B&B purists), he would have never allowed such a thing because he cares so much about Stephanie. She's SUCH a daddy's girl!

I'm not sure if I could buy an abuse story if the perpetrator was her father, simply because the way the story has been written all these years(whenever Stephanie mentioned her father, especially during the Forrester Creations takeover). She mentions her father with pride. In my mind(thinking about B&B), I don't think he would ever touch her. And if he's as protective of her as I think, I don't believe he would just go day by day without knowing something is wrong with Stephanie.

I just can't get into another "creative re-write" to suit another stunt casting(ala Stephen being "Mr. Nice Guy" and Donna with "No Modeling Experience"). I just can't(and quite frankly, don't want to) picture John Douglas as a monster.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.
