Anyone think that Heather Tom is coming back to Y&R as Victoria. I just found out that she only signed a 6 month contract with B&B which would mean her stay on the show would end in Feb of 2008. Ameila Heinle's contract ends in Feb of 2008. B&B isnt doing anything with HT as Katie and it seems that Bell just signed her to a quick contract to lock her in place with CBS till they wanted to move her to where they really wanted her. I think they will opt not to renew AH's contract and sign on HT as Victoria when that happens. Doing this gets them to avoid the controversy they faced with the Lily switch and they dont come across bad like GH did by firing a pregnant actress. What are people's thoughts on this?

I'd like to hope Tom wouldn't be crazy enough to leave the well-written B&B for that Y&R trash. The character of Victoria has been widdled down to nothing. What would be left for her to portray? Plus they've just started a romance for Thorne and Katie.

I think the six month contract was just in case it didn't work out. I also can't see Brad Bell doing LML any favors.

the show doesnt care about Thorne. None of his relationships post Macy last and if they do, he gets put on the backburner pretty fast. I think Thorne and Katie will just be some small fun before she leaves. Plus B&B is pretty full right now and they have the biggest revolving doors on soaps. I really dont think she will stay past her 6 months. We the viewers see Y&R as trash, but it is HT's home that she grew up on. It has alot of value to her and where her friends and colleagues are. Plus as an actress, she knows she'd be frontburner and a leading character there. Thats something she wont get on B&B bc the character of Katie doesnt have the history that Victoria does. as far as Bell doing LML any favors, its not his decision bc once the 6 months is up, HT can do whatever she pleases

But B&B now has Kay Alden and several Y&R writers who were very fond of Tom as Victoria. She left Y&R under very poor terms, being fired after the character had been wasted by Jack Smith. I certainly don't think she'd be running back.

B&b used to have a revolving door, but the cast seems stable this year and they've been rotating the story a lot better.

there really hasnt been since Massimo left. I think they keep her to give Nick family but she doesnt do much. I say just bump her to recurring and if she decides to go, its no big waste. Id also get rid of Donna bc she's a carbon copy of Brooke. Really do we need 2 of them?

To be fair it looked more like one of my early attempts at scones. And those could dent drywall if flung with the right amount of wrist action. That's why I'm convinced it was thrown.. by LML. And we all know Poppin' Fresh, The Pillsbury Doughboy, throws like a girl.

>> Victoria limps out the parking garage after being rescued just smiling & waving like she's Queen Elizabeth only to be smacked upside the head with a crescent roll shaped brick that makes her do a double tuck & roll down a hill of dirt.

Pretty much sums up the kind of woman Victoria Newman has become, doesn't it?

      Hold on to that thought, because I'll be eager to know if you feel the same way as you progress through her journey, after that evening.

      Very interesting and great to hear, I'm glad she isn't just largely unpopular.

      Wow, they really wasted Lucky in this latest return. How could they botch it up like that? And I really hate what they've done with Nina. So she's going to betray the one person who's done nothing but be kind and loving to her after having moved past the fact that she pretended to be her long lost daughter for someone who isn't even worth it at this point? There is really no coming back for Nina, is there? I honestly won't be surprised if both Sasha and Willow end up disowning Nina and cutting her out of their lives for good. And Nina is going to be even more of a pariah and social outcast than she already is.  Honestly, if the writers are going to make the entire town hate Nina, they might as well make her a full blown villain at this point and have her actually own it. Maybe losing Willow and the kids forever might finally prompt Nina to embrace her dark side and go full steam ahead with her villain era. At least make her the kind of villain people can get behind and enjoy, not... whatever this is.  On the other hand, Willow delivering Sasha's kid in court is actually an interesting twist. Wonder what Sasha is going to name her daughter now?

      Someone needs to help me stop laughing because I've been crying from laughter in the past half an hour. My husband came to check if I'm okay. I'm more than okay. Is it Christmas already?

      I can't imagine it was a shock to any of the actors, especially one so industry savy as Zimmer. However, it must have been like all of us, watching a loved one fading away and knowing it was going to happen but still being shocked when it does. Wheeler is to blame for waiting so long for that Hail Mary pass to be thrown. Its funny but this was the time that the writing seem to be getting better so someone fixed that, but why didnt it happen sooner? Again, at least the GL I saw go off the air, despite looking like it was filmed in my backyard, was the GL I knew with the right characters coming back and the right things happening. Unlike ATWT.....

      This is a guess, but Kat is going to mess around and help get Leslie off on a technicality. She is too determined to go around the law. Sharon is so entertaining. The way she acted like Anita was about to trip her down or something at the end was hilarious. The silence from Tracy and Sharon when Anita called them out for not backing Barbara out was telling. They can't defend themselves because they were just as hungry for success as Anita was.

      I am sure it was not what JJ thought was going to happen with Lucky or Lucky/Liz and I don't think JJ will ever be back.  That was just an awful return and his return in 2010 wasn't anything great lol.

      I don't think this is anything but a pause. I think there's a lot more of Liz/Lucky coming up ahead. Think of it as a classic fakeout.  Edit to ADD: Well, crap. Ignore me. Outta there.
