Amazing that you should say that when highly documented rumors suggest Galen is TIRED of working with Mac and WANTS to work with Emily; when rumors suggest he had a hand in ruining the Shuis pairing forever (otherwise he wouldn't renew his contract, according to reports.) So I'm sorry, you can't pin the "magic" in those scenes on Galen. Yes, Shuis had magic. They had natural chemistry. But Galen and Emily have just as much chemistry and spark.

And what are you smoking? The whole show was a write-off except for LOOKS between Luis and Sheridan? Ha! The highest point of the show (throughout the show, I should say), was watching MeanSheridan and seeing what devious thing she'll do next! It's almost like watching the Salem stalker storyline on "Days." I love it!

If JER knew the show was getting canceled, he may have gone for broke. Hey, perhaps that's why the Brokeback story is coming. who knows? But yes, Sheridan is the "Passions" version of Marlena. We'll agree about that. But with Marlena's possession and ssk, though there were outside forces, it was STILL Marlena doing all that fun stuff. And that's why I know he's not going to keep the fans from the satisfaction and sheer fun it will be to see ANOTHER innocent blonde go "bad."

I'm not familiar with JER's writing as you are, but is it possible he got tired of writing for Sheridan as a pure character and has made Fancy the new Sheridan (Marlena/Hope)? The two characters' personalities are distinct, but it's obvious JER is copying a lot of Sheridan's past obstacles and giving them to Fancy.

You're the one that is smoking something. I would love for you to post these so called reports because I see nothing but a lot of Sheridan (McKenzie) haters bending a few comments by Galen into a butch of twisted crap. Galen made the comment that Sheridan has had a story and now it's time for Luis to have one too and that change can be good sometimes. How does that equate to Galen not wanting to work with McKenzie any longer? I've seen Eric say that he would love to do something else on the show besides waffling between Theresa and Gwen, and nobody said a word about him not wanting to work with Lindsay. For your information, Galen and McKenzie are great friends and have been for many years. Actors are going to pimp whatever their current storyline is in order to sell it. It'sall part of keeping their job. When McKenzie was coming back from maternity leave, Galen said he was really looking forward to what the writers had in store for the two of them.

And also, how in the hell do you know what was in Galen's contract? Galen is certainly not going to talk about it, and either are TPTB. When has Reilly EVER let an actor dictate what story line should be? Galen took six months off from the show which I'm sure pissed Reilly off, so I'm sure he was not in the mood to cowtown to what Galen wanted. But, if you can produce solid proof of this crap you are spewing, then I stand corrected. Until then quick spreading rumors when you have nothing to substanciate it with.

JANEB, please. I can't produce proof. Why? THERE AIN'T PROOF.

But in this business, rumors, especially ones that spread, DO mean something.

It's like how word of JER's firing spread on the net MONTHS and MONTHS before NBC typed up a press release about Hogan Sheffer's hiring.

"Insiders" and "setsiders" speak. Not all things get press releases. That doesn't make them untrue.

HEAVY rumors (and not just disgruntled "Another World" fans who will make up anything to hurt the show) have suggested several things:

1. JER was heard saying he is permanently ripping apart two couples on the show, forever.

2. Genna Gering was displeased with her husband's constant lovemaking scenes with Sheridan.

3. Galen wasn't so quick to sign that contract.

Let's put two and three together, shall we? Hmm? Shall we? Can we do that?

If Galen is one of the show's biggest stars -- and history and ratings have suggested that Sheridan and Luis have "star" power, along with Tabitha and Ethan and Theresa, for this show -- then yes, JER would be FORCED to place Galen in a new pairing, in order to keep their star hunk.

Sorry.

But I can't give you proof.

That DOESN'T mean I'm wrong, though.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
