to be honest, i have no idea. shes just a char i cant stand. it has nothing to do with her being a bell or anything like that, because i don't hate LLB, i actually really like her (just not as an actress... as a person and as a store owner...).

Cricket i actually found to be all cute and fun and awesome. Christine i found whinny annoying and pathetic. tho she did give my Paul more screentime so...

Pet peeves.

1. Jim is alive. After all the hard work of reuniting him with his long-lost daughter he just disappeared. Maybe Chris is with him now?

2. Cricket is an ABBOTT. John _promised_ he would take care of her (as Rebecca lay dying). So, it would have been easy to pop her into the Abbott clan. (So too, Danny and Gina and DANIEL are CHANCELLORS...in the sense that Kay joined them all to her conceptual family when she married Rex. Daniel and Kay should have scenes together, esp. now that Daniel is dating Kay's new conceptual daughter [like Nikki before her] Amber).

3. Cricket could also have a family, of sorts, if her best friend Nina were on canvas. Since Nina is Phillip IV's mom, they could all tie into the Chancellor extended clan.

So, though she has few BLOOD ties, Cricket could easily be integrated into the canvas.

Where are Tricia Cast, David Tom, Ashley Bashioum, Eileen Davidson, Victoria Rowell, Lauralee Bell Adrianne Leon, etc.?

Tricia Cast, David Tom, Victoria Rowell, Lauralee Bell... By all means, bring 'em back! :)

Rachel Kimsey was a much better Mac than Ashley Bashioum

I want Eileen Davidson to stay on B&B

Adrianne Leon... YUCK. We already have a perfectly good Colleen in Tammin Sursok.

I agree. add a new Lily or bringing back DS to that :D

I couldnt agree more.

I wouldnt mind both her and LK being on both shows actually. Why not let them have a jet setting lifestyle?

Adrianne Leon was perfection in this role because she had amazing father/daughter chem with Don Diamont, she had cruves and a body - much like her mother Traci has, and always had an issue with back in the day. She also ozzed both romantic chem and sexual chem with various men on the show. TS, who i loved on her other show just does not work. Im not saying shes a bad actress because i dont think she is, but she IS a miscast.

Yes to Cast, Tom, Rowell and Bell.

Yes to Kimsey, but not as Mac. Bashioum was Mac...much less polished, which was right for the character. I liked Kimsey, but she was wrong for the role of a former homeless kid.

I saw Kimsey on Heroes this year, playing a sexy villainess. She was AMAZING. That would be a surprisingly good role for her. Maybe she can come back as a bad girl...Victor's NEXT girlfriend :-).

The idea of having some characters on two shows (Ashley, Felicia) is very intriguing to me. Lauren could do the same in the other direction.

Because I have problems with B&B...what about expanding Y&R to 90 minutes, and incorporating the best B&B actors...having an "LA wing" of Y&R. (I'm only partly joking).

I miss Leon...a lot. I grew to like her, especially her chemistry with Rikaart. They seemed like two wounded souls who could heal each other. She was intense and sexy to me.

    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of
