Just one last post on what has been an awesome and informative thread this year! I don't think we're going to see another one like it while daytime is around. (Unless there's a bunch of scrambling around in the final years). Here's to a calmer 2009!

Yeah, it's been a hectic, but fun thread this year. :)

Damn, this year went by fast, I recall most of the first page as if it were yeasterday. LOL!

Here's to a less hectic, but equally fun year. After the roller coaster 2008 was, 2009 can't be anymore intense, can it?

I don't expect 2009's hirings and firings list to be anywhere near as long, for the most part, thankfully. :)

It's weird how fast time really does fly. It does feel just like yesterday that the writers strike was going on and 2008 was just beginning. Wow.

But 2008 certainly was an interesting year for the soaps, but it was fun, to say the least! Thanks Toups and everyone else for all the news, we all appreciate it.

Here's to a great 2009!

I am literally about to sign off to go to a NYE celebration, so HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of my fellow Directors & Writers Enthusiasts! This is why I love coming to SON, because there are others of "me" out there who pay attention to these things! I love this thread -- wish it wasn't mega Y&R focused, but oh well -- and I enjoy reading all of you guyses opinions. You all help me when it comes to my own personal writing and I appreciate all of the info, scoops and opinions being shared in this thread. May 2009 provide us with even more wonderful discussion.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
    • I need to go and find less.
