I think Chrishelle Stausse (sp?) is as good as gone. The character is useless, and the actress just horrid. In think the other actress out, the one with the "liability" problem, is Sydney Penny, the "liability" stemming from axing an actress on maternity leave. I'm sure ABC didn't want to open themselves up to a lawsuit, a la Kari Wuhrer at GH. The Jack/Julia thing is filler and going nowhere, and once Tad and Kate are reunited, that's the end for Julia. I wouldn't be shocked to see Melissa Clare Egan gone at some point as well. I can definitely see Liza back on the way home to Pine Valley, but not in the form of Marcy Walker. Didn't she chuck show business to become a minister? I could see Beth Chamberlin fill that role easily. She's working without a contract at GL, correct? Larry Lau back on AMC? It's possible now with Jesse and Angie back, but who would they pair him with? I'm really happy that the show is FINALLY working overtime to get the show back on track. I'm not thrilled with Harmon/Esensten, but I'm hoping the perfomances can overcome the writing.

Given that AMC experienced record low ratings recently, naturally, it follows that TPTB are going to take steps to arrest the decline. (Didn't Brian Frons just do the same thing w/ OLTL?) That isn't insider information, that's common sense.

Two females? Hmm. How about Amanda Baker (not a successful recast, and Fronsie might be itching to bring back "the REAL Babe," Alexa Havins) and Chrishell Stause (not much to do lately, story-wise), w/ Sydney Penny (same as CS) as a possible third. Melissa Claire Egan might be "marked" as well, but that might happen down the road, depending on how Ryan's current story shakes out.

As for who I'd like to see come back --

Julia Barr (Brooke English)

Mark LaMura (Mark Dalton)

Laurence Lau (Greg Nelson)

Dorothy Lyman (the REAL Opal, lol)

Kathleen Noone (Ellen Dalton)

Richard Shoberg (Tom Cudahy)

I'd also to see like Liza return (even if it's not Marcy Walker portraying her) so as to anchor Colby a bit more; and I'd like to see Jake Martin return, as well. Oooh, and how about Devon and Bonnie McFadden, too?

Krystal/Tad/Greg. Think about it.

I know many don't care for Krystal. And I'm with you, I really am. (No. Really.) But Bobbie does have a contract, and as long as that contract is in effect, they have to use her.

RavenBeauty I think deserves some credit *this* time. She's right on this time.

My guesses for the 2 women out are Leven Rambin(Lily & Ava---there's no story for Lily and Ava's a horribly conceived and written character IMHO) and Melissa Claire Egan(Annie, there's no room for her at the inn imho).

Returns----I predict,-----2 or 3 of these----- Laurance Lau as Greg Nelson, Julia Barr as Brooke English, Cady McClain as Dixie Martin, and/or Robin Christopher as Skye Chandler, with maybe Marcy Walker or a big daytime vet --maybe Kristina Wagner as Liza Colby, Alexa Havins as Babe Carey, & Michael Lowry as Jake Martin. I'd also love to see Karen Lyn Gorney back as Tara Martin.

    • This. I'm also reminded of something from the old Cinema de Merde website, something I've tried to carry with me. "(paraphrased) We will not let our dislike for a movie impede our efforts to engage with it."
    • I just edited a DAYS episode 8-27-90 with Eve, Nick, Julie, John, Izzy, Victor, Bo, Carly, some young guy named Chad, Johnny Corelli, business men/thugs from a movie that is going to be made & from a construction company, little kid friend of ShawnD's, ShawnD although he is at the bottom of a long narrow hole & is either asleep or unconscious. Full closing credits with voiceover: Next on Another World: Vicky, posing as Marley, will she be able to fool Jamie? Then, on Santa Barbara something about Mack & Gretchen, whoever they are. 
    • It's a sweet scene. I'm requesting Love of Life, please.
    • Paul, as for me, in general I am VERY interested in reading these. So, from my POV, you could post one every week & I would be all smiles. As for what shows I would be interested in: everything but Valiant Lady, Portia/Life, 5 Daughters, Another Life, that's it.   
    • I have read numerous places on line that Leslie/Dana may somehow be connected to one of Anita's old band mates that she obviously has issues with.  They were both from Chicago and Leslie/Dana stated she gave birth to Eva there.  If this is true it could add another dimension to this storyline.
    • Not only that, but Tony, Annabelle, and Jim had zero skin in this game. The Fishing Trip story had a huge impact on the Reardons and Annabelle because it was about THEIR relatives and how what happened to them shaped their own lives. People directly and indirectly affected by this--i.e. Alan, Amanda, Philip, and even Lujack--weren't involved in this at all, either because they were off the canvas or involved in other stuff. I mostly admire Long's talent for using the past to enhance her stories in the present, but this one was a huge turkey. We saw Brandon old and decrepit dying on screen. Even if we were able to suspend disbelief, why wouldn't he have wanted revenge on Lucille, who tried to kill him? If he wanted to go live with his Barbados squeeze, who would have cared about that by then? In the end, it had little to no impact on the larger story because they were too chicken to bring in that branch of the Spauldings into the main story (until later).  Just a really bad storyline that mainly existed to stretch out the GL stints of the actors who played Tony, Annabelle, and Jim.  
    • Agree to disagree as to Lois's return. Moving from the specific to the general, IMO, successful: Tracy, Lois, Lulu so far & Lucas so far. Questionable: Lucky. But I do not believe that having a romantic partner at all times is the be all & end all of things.  Reminder about how we got from there to here with Rena: Everything was a part of the great unknown, whether they'd like her or vice versa, so they by intent signed a 30 episode deal. Before they even got to the end of those 30 episodes they knew they really liked each other a lot & so they with mutual satisfaction (we think) agreed upon a handshake open-ended deal, which as far as anyone knows is how it still stands. What is good about that? Neither side has YET wanted it to end. What's bad about that? Maybe it is a little weird.  Now, it seems to me that Lois is not going to have time for anything or anyone at all EXCEPT the fallout over the GIO reveal for the upcoming future days & weeks & I do think she is going to take the brunt of a LOT of people's anger. In a way that has begun this week with Tracy being SO UGLY to her.  About Jason & romance. They're not writing any. If I understand what he's said from that podcast they never had any intention with either Anna or Sasha. Also, if they had wanted to write either of those, he would've been against it, although he realizes it's not up to him. (Finola has expressed same at fan events, etc.) (Others who have similarly stated their "preferences": Sonny does not want to be with Carly. Carly does not want to be with Sonny. So, these preferences Jason, Anna, Sonny, Carly, they all work out & none of them is having the show want those pairings either, so, again, works out.  About these writers & romantic couples, they spent a year blowing up every couple that existed. Now a few months has gone by & they have YET to create even one new couple. The only thing that has come close is Lucky & Liz. 
    • I find it hard to believe that they actually watched the same version of "Steel Magnolias" that I did. Are we sure they didn't watch the horrible re-make?

      Oh dear lord, did you have to remind me of that?!! That was definitely not Sally Field's finest hour, and Abby (Maura Tierney's character) was surely one of the most depressing characters ever written for tv or film. I'm not sure she cracked a smile even once during all her years on ER.  
    • I always thought Lois was such a unique character and considered her supporting her first run.  She was in a lot of different places on the canvas, but I don't think she had more focus than Brenda or Robin at her peak. With Ned basically out of the picture Lois doesn't quite have enough ties on the canvas to make her relevant and the show has done very little to give her new relationships and friendships.  She's stuck in the Q mansion most of the time. Oh, I agree it's a problem across the board for GH.  The only stable couples on the show are Brook Lynn/Chase and Portia/Curtis.  Unseen Olivia/Ned and Kevin/Laura are happily married I suppose.   Eventually I am sure Liz/Lucky and Dante/Lulu will get their romance, but is there any other couple that's even rootable?   I can't recall an era when Jason, Carly, and Sonny were all at such loose romantic ends at the same time.   Which is fine.  However no other romance besides Willow/Drew is being focused on.
