LOL.....Well hopefully Chris has been talking to Ron these days......... You know I want Lorraine, but I dont see it happening. If Rich wont come back, and I can't have Lorraine, then I'd just settle with Anna, Chris Van Etten and Chris Whitesell. I'm sure Ron is still writing breakdowns..right?

She cleaned up a LOT of Gordon Rayfield's garbage (poor baby was in over his head), and during her co-head writing tenure with him, there was a sense of diversity and community in Pine Valley. People of different ethnicities, cultures, lifestyles and backgrounds. It wasn't perfect by a long shot, but if she teamed up with Lorraine, who also wrote in a similar, yet stronger style, AMC would be getting back to being about the Agnes Nixon's vision of Pine Valley being "an idyllic town with very non idyllic people." Not everything she did flew with me, but AMC was engaging and entertaining -- which is a far cry from what it is now. The show was an ensemble.

    • I think Larkin was a very dashing and charismatic figure, but they started way too hot and then pulled too far back with the tedious triangle. They also needed to get Reva away from the Lewises at that point rather than tying Kyle to them. They did this somewhat with the suicide attempt and working with Fletcher but not enough. I wonder what Pam Long's plans would have been for Cain. Jerry Lanning was always a mix of sinister and very cold to me, but she must have had some idea for him as she had also used him on Texas.
    • Chelsea is a stalker like her mother. She is annoying me big time.
    • As you point out,  Courtney seems to be the only logical person if the rumor was told to Zimmer and it's not just something she wrote to spice up the book. It could also be that Zimmer knew about the JC/JS relationship and just assumed that was the reason for her firing. It just reeks of Paul Rauch badmouthing Courtney though. I don't know why he and Lemay had it out for her. @DeeVee
    • Rebecca Budig sticks out like a sore thumb as Taylor. She has not added anything to the show or role of Taylor. A horrible recast.  
    • I hope Dumb Dora loses custody of her kids. Kristina needs to go away. I can't believe she is still roaming around town.
    • I can see Kim thinking to herself---why would I be so emotionally invested in a guy who literally looks like he is the slasher in a slasher film?  I think they tried expanding Reva's reach and having her anchor this story, and it doesn't work. I don't think anyone could've really, as Cain is never a compelling figure. It is a hoot seeing a younger Victor Garber though. I'd speculate that Reva and Kyle were popular because the viewers didn't expect Josh back, and they wanted to see Reva happy. Otherwise, I don't get it. He's more controlling than generous. I watched a little of the actress that Long supposedly wanted for the role. She doesn't seem very good. In Texas, she seems to be very similar to Vanessa, and I can't imagine her projecting a more down to earth image.
    • I think this is where the show having an older audience comes in handy as that is who is buying these releases. And buying the books, presumably.  I have family who in the last few years have watched the show pretty much every day. 
    • Didn't a curtain rod fell on him and that's why he went blind?
    • It is. And it's even more remarkable that this feels like an end-of-career speech when she had no idea a whole second career was on the way.
