I am glad Cady is returning to a show that used her. I have to say Dixie's return was the worst piece of garbage I have seen. It was so bad to watch from beginning to end and then to kill her off was horrible. The funny thing is I agree the last year of Ro sucked but the first two were excellent. Especially the stuff with Ro having the hysterectomy was amazing. ATWT gave Cady great emmy winning material and fabulous as Ro. Ro is a total biatch but Cady plays all those facets very well.

I think the same can be said for any actor then. Maura West, Michael Park, they must get drained pretty easily after the CarJack break up scenes.

IMO that still doesn't excuse her comings and goings, I hated when Roger did it on OLTL, and I hated when Cady did it on ATWT, cause it messes up storylines too badly.

of course she will:) Everyone knows that it wasn't REALLY Dixie that came back in 2005, just someone pretending to be Dixie (reason to be determined), which means THAT imposter is dead and explains these difficult-to-explain Dixie ghost scenes after the death by pancake. Real Dixie is in a coma somewhere being hidden away by David Hayward or maybe even Billy Clyde Tuggle. Come on you all, that's better than anything McScreamy came up with.

Eh, I think Cady is done with AMC for good this time. She seems really bitter about her departure and the exects at ABCD, and I don't see her returning under Julie Hanan Carruthers, who will probably never be fired since she's Frons' puppet and all. Let's not forget, Cady didn't initially want to come back in 2005, until she had lunch with McTavish and was promised this "great storyline", which ended up being a bust. She's better off at ATWT, even though the writing there can be more than uneven at times, I'm sure they'll be able to write adequately for her. Have you seen her portrayal of Rosanna? She was in damn element on ATWT, for some reason, she always looks bored playing Dixie. Also, she more than earned that Emmy she won over on ATWT, I've never seen her that great of an actress, and I've watched all three of her runs on AMC.

As a David fan who dearly loved him and Dix together and hated seeing them McTrashed beyond recognition last year, no, it isn't better for me to see a deranged David holding Dix prisoner. KA or whoever can do much better than that, with both characters, separately and together.

I'm not a viewer of "All My Children," but what TPTB did to Cady was nothing less than insulting. Maybe she wouldn't have stuck around ATWT, but the build-up and eventual non-story was almost like payback for her leaving in the first place.

    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
