Oooooooooh, what an excellent point! Excellent point! You're absolutely right, of course. Byrne NEVER ONCE marshalled her fans against her show. Indeed, in her farewell chat she was remarkably close-mouthed about the locus of blame for her non-renewal.

That is an exquisite evocation of differences in class in dealing with this kind of corporate malfeasance. Unfortunately, reasonable (Byrne) or loud and combative (Zimmer) seems unlikely to save anyone's job.

LMAO! Maybe not QUITE Brenda Dickson...then again, with that Hawaii penthouse flap...maybe just like her :-).

You know what though. I miss Victoria every day! The writing these days makes me miss her more than ever (which seems to be the show's intent). I don't know how much of a "Diva" Victoria was...and I don't care. What she put on screen was fabulous every day. She looked great. She gave her all to the acting. Never for a MINUTE could she be accused of phoning it in. This was true EVEN WHEN she didn't like the writing or the lighting or whatever.

I'm not 100% sure the same could be said of Zimmer...but I honestly haven't been watching as closely. I do know--as someone without much of a history with this show---when I see her scenes, they don't really grab me. I do realize, however, this is partly the writing.....

Brenda Dickson. Excuse me while I go chuckle at that great image!

Kim Zimmer always opens her big mouth and makes [!@#$%^&*] all about her while less big names on her show fall by the wayside and slip through the cracks. She's not crazy at all. She's just looking out for herself every time.

That said, she's right about this for once. GL is an abortion every day of the week. And Reva is one of the few things I actually like about GL these days. Now that they've stopped pretending she's some sex goddess, she's much more compelling as the middle-aged good time girl, whereas every other era I'd seen her on the show, I hated her with a vengeance. I even like the idea of Josh and Reva now!

When is her contract up? Because if it is fairly soon, then this would indicate that they are "fading her out..."...so we won't care when she goes out with a whimper (at least on screen) or less. Think about how unceremoniously (on another network, with another production house) Julia Barr was dumped. They could so easily get rid of AMC's Brooke because they made sure she had ceased to matter in the storyline for a very long time.

Yeah...see when the bosses pay you to sit at home, there's usually a reason. And thru March, she was in just under half of the episodes aired. (I think the total was 62.) There's only four episodes between her and Beth Ehlers at that point. That's not some huge gap, so I don't see what she's complaining about. Other than the fact she wants to work more.

1. Marcy Rylan (Lizzie Spaulding) - 41

(14/14/13)

2. Daniel Cosgrove (Bill Lewis) - 40

(15/12/13)

3. Beth Ehlers (Harley Cooper) - 32

(11/11/10)

3. Ron Raines (Alan Spaulding) - 32

(10/9/13)

5. Murray Bartlett (Cyrus Foley) - 31

(11/10/10)

5. Mandy Bruno (Marina Cooper) - 31

(12/11/8)

7. Robert Newman (Joshua Lewis) - 30

(9/13/8)

8. Nicole Forester (Cassie Winslow Lewis) - 29

(9/11/9)

9. Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne) - 28

(11/9/8)

Do you think she has a 10 show/month or 120 show/year guarantee?

For someone who is probably used to working above her guarantee, this is probably the problem. She FEELS the lack of enthusiasm at this point.

What I'm about to say IS NOT MEANT TO BE CATTY. Honestly. But SHE should have offered to do the "lap band" storyline. Then she'd be front and center AND, I think, increase her chances of future employment. I know that sounds awful, but I'm just trying to say I wonder what she is doing to try to secure her job.

Complaining, not working on appearance, not working on her craft (by taking other jobs)....seems to me she is an "agitated depression" state, and she might need to work on that to increase her career viability.

again, regaurdless of anything else she is muvch below what shes paying for, according to her.

also, it isnt like this was said in an interview, it was said to her offical fanclub yes/no? if yes then she was obviously getting a lot of letters about this and decided to adress this. i see nothing wrong with her going diva. if it qorks it works, if not then it doesnt. oh well. but im sure it got to a point where she felt the need to speakout, and i dont blame her because this is the worst GL has ever been and im shocked they havent pulled the plug yet.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.

      And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.

      Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

      I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.

      A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.

      I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.

      I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
