LOL. She could be in a coma somewhere, I don't mean faking her own death - maybe somebody arranged something or the other. On DAYS Jack donated organs and was a ghost. And McTavish is sort of the female answer to JER.

It really irritates me that I can see AMC doing DAYS-like storylines without giving pause and saying "no way would they" these days.

I'm still going to have a little doubt until a few more spoiler weeks past, I can't help it - maybe it was my 7-8 years with DAYS and the 40 or so returns from the dead I got to experience. I'm not trusting.

I am watching right now on SoapNet. Oh it is so sad.

On a lighter note did anyone notice that Jacob Young hasn't been shaving his chest. I thought I saw it in one scene and looked again - he actually has some chest hair. All the shirtless pics I ever see of him show a smooth chest. Love the hair on his chest peaking through the open shirt. (sorry drifted off into bi mode there for awhile)

I hate that Dixie is dead. It is so sad. As Andy said this is a big slap in the face of the fans, and one that is going to be so hard to get over.

After watching today, I don't think I could hate Babe as much as I do right now. Ugh!! I can't believe that Dixie is gone. This is just too much for me to handle. I'm a fairly new viewer to AMC but over the last couple of months I've grown to love Dixie and TnD. Their chemistry was amazing and I hate that they didn't get a chance to reunite. It just isn't fair. Stupid MMT and TPTB. This is one of the ridiculous moves that they've could have done at this point. AMC is already a sinking ship and this isn't helping.

^ And? Doesn't matter, that's my point. It was rewritten. Jack's organ's were donated, rewrite of no rewrite, he was dead, yet he came back. Dixie could too. Hell, Josh is alive, and he was de-SORAS'd too. MMT can and will do anything she damn well pleases.

Well, I'm in love with how Dixie's death was executed (production wise) so I would personally be opposed to a "miracle" compromising that. Besides, isn't that what soaps should SHY away from? Don't they lose their credibility because of these miracles that could never happen? It's over kill in daytime.

That was actually 2001. I think in late summer, right when Passanante left and Culliton took over. Yeah, I liked it OK. I just thought Gillian entering Opal's body was rather lame. They were ripping off Ghost. Remember when Patrick Swayze's character entered Whoopi's body and danced with Demi Moore? :lol:

LMFAO, yet, you have no issue with Josh?

I despise Dixie, have for years, so a part of me is glad she's gone. But I know what this means for AMC, and for that reason, and that reason only (well the T&D fans, whom I have a great deal of respect for) are the only reasons that I'd be okay with her being ressurected.

Just because the death was well written, and try arguing that point with a T&D fan, LOL, doesn't mean that it was a good thing for AMC.

I didn't like how Father Clarence basically gave Kate to Aunt Julia on the day Dixie died. I always liked Julia but I am really resenting her for getting the story that should have been Dixie's. It's like they didn't want to have to have two actresses in their mid-30's so they decided to dump one and give the other her story. I know some call it character growth, but Julia has basically been given Dixie and Annie's personality (more of bland Annie though) to be this perfect "Mom" out of the blue. Now they are going to probably have a Jamie/Julia/Tad triangle and I just have no desire to see Tad and Julia as a couple (only Tad and Annie would be more boring).

I was disappointed Dixie didn't see Father Clarence so she could kick his ass for telling her at Christmas that her journey wasn't over and for encouraging her to keep quiet about Krystal's baby for the greater good (BS!!) I was also hoping to see Tad kick his ass for making him feel that things were finally turning around in his life and he should have hope that happiness was around the corner. He deserves a serious butt kicking.

I cried just reading about the flashbacks, so I used many tissues when I actually watched the whole show. As far as how Dixie realized Kathy was Kate, I found it infuriating. What a complete letdown that she finds out after she is dead. I found it insulting to me as the one story I have wanted to see for 18 years was for Tad and Dixie to have a daughter together ... and they would both know who she was while they were living and breathing in this world. I'm beyond disappointed about this.

Well today is a year to the day that AMC was ripped from my life, so I'm in a pissy mood. LOL But, while someday, something simliar and much later or earlier in the pregnancy could possibly happen, it can not happen now, nor in the forseeable future. So it is as much science fiction as anything that could bring Dixie back. She wasn't dead the first time, just presumed dead. So it's only a one time ressurection, just like the fetus.

And both decisions almost killed AMC, somehow they wheathered the Josh storm, mostly by whitewashing it, but I don't think they're going to make it through this one. And a part of me would love it. And the othe part of me, wants to save AMC with all I have.

But anyway, Dixie could be alive, if MMT want's her to be, then she will be, at some point.

    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
    • Errol already confirmed she is back at Y&R and in a non-producing role; this alludes to she is not credited for the role she has.
