Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread

So was his acting career. After this, Trent Jones wrote for the soaps...within 2 years he was writing for RH. Longest time I think, though, was for Y & R.

I had heard that he ended up writing for soaps. I'll be on the lookout for his name on RH - I think someone else said he wrote for ATWT, too, at some point?

Aha!  I think I have the KGJ "killer" figured out.  It's the nurse, isn't it?  After having a different orderly in every scene, we've suddenly had the same actress as a nurse for a few weeks now. I saw her overhear a convo between KGJ and Roger and assumed she would accuse Roger of the "crime" but it's going to turn out that she did it herself.  Hopefully, the story doesn't go past November sweeps.....

 I won't give it away.

I do have to say, though, that even though I didn't really care for Barry, I did enjoy the friendship he and Jillian developed bonding over the whole Ken situation, esp. towards the end and afterwards. Barry chased anything in a skirt but he was respectful of Jill, he didn't judge her for cheating on his cousin, Frank. His love for Ken was sincere and that, along with his befriending of Jill were, basically, the redeeming qualities for me with his character.

I think I feel the same as you. I agree with all of your assents of him, but ultimately, he won't go down as a fave character. I hope he leaves soon now that KGJ has died.

I was thrilled to receive the screen cap I had sent to Randall Edwards autographed. I'll try to have it posted up here soon.

Okay - I'm further along in RH now - up to 1402.  Re: my Delia freak out earlier.....I can see that they want to turn Delia back into the character she was before RE took over the role and I've accepted it. LOL  Delia is back to wanting to be a part of the Ryan family. She's pining for Frank now - suddenly out of left field, after years of her being in therapy and working really REALLY hard to stop caring about being part of the Ryan family. She seemed to have gotten them out of her system, but clearly, it didn't work. I'm back to hating her. The thing is...I enjoy hating Kimberly  more. Delia's regression makes her come across, to me, as super pathetic and sad. At least Kimberly is just a right out manipulative asshat!

I love Kelli Maroney personally, but Kimberly was a character you could just love hating. 😉😊

[~bl~]

I loved to hate Kimberly,  I was both entertained and annoyed by her during the SoapNet run...

I was just really creeped out when they paired her with Seneca. The old man and a baby having his baby. 😨

Not only Senaca - but now Kimberly is egging on Elliot, the producer of her Broadway show. 

 

I seriously "tune in" these days to see what she's going to do next. She and Michael have become quite the pair of troublemakers. Poor Connie Markham never stood a chance!

  Rae had better watch out. Now that Michael is working for her, and bedding her, she's going to let her guard down and those two are gonna go after her...I just know it!

 

Senaca....oof...mid-life crisis, for sure. I hope he divorces Kimberly before the little $h!t gets pregnant.

 A few times throughout the show she wants Frank-- Delia wants Frank yet again when Ilene Kristen is back in the role in 1983. They never had her go after Pat again, though.

That was Geoffrey Pierson's Frank, right? Wasn't Maggie Shelby after him at the same time?
