Tad and Dixie at the end brought tears to my eyes so I know I'm going to need a box of kleenex tomorrow when TIIC show what they cheated the fans out of and for which I will never forgive them for. :angry:

I've hated Greenlee since the first second she appeared. She has always been like this IMO. I'm relieved that finally some are finally seeing the light. :D

I loved Greens when she first came on. IMO her character has gotten worse over the years, and no matter how hard I try, my devotion to the character cannot blind me to the slanted writing and character propping that is taking place lately. I haven't enjoyed Greenlee since before she hooked up with Ryan - then add the Sabine recast and the stupid kidnapping story to the list, and she is just a cartoon these days. The stuff that comes out of her mouth and others (about her) is just unbelievable. Greenlee has always been selfish, yes, and she has always made a big scene, but when she used to do these things, the plot justifed it....i.e. Jack and Erica's non-wedding in 2003. She had every right to blow up then, though it was selfish, but she was wronged.

In this current storyline, she has no right to be throwing stones. She has a right to be pissed off, yes, but the writing is so out of whack - the build up, awful - basically AMC is saying that kidnapping and cheating are on par, and that kidnapping can be forgiven, but cheating during a moment of weakness, not. At least that's what it feels like I'm watching. Why oh Why can't Kenlee hate each other like normal people and get it over with. They are much more interesting at opposite ends of the soap, occasionally running into each other for a few brief minutes and bitching each other out. JMO.

Greenlee first came on when Agnes Nixon briefly returned as HW, and I thought Agnes was really trying to created a new Erica. She was a foil for sweet little Becka, another Agnes creation who frankly sucked (i think it proved that in 1970 you could have a heroine like Tara who was sweet and very bland but by 1998 or 1999 or whatever it just didn't work) and I think Scott?

I admit I'm still a fan of the character and if Rebecca stays on could see her becoming the new "Erica"--if the writing improves.

I'm sur ehe did consult and he's good with action stunt episodes but as for the comment " They liked his work so much that they offered him the job." They wer eyeing him WELL before that, we all know, and they ALWAYS say something like that...

BE as Greenlee? That would be a horrible casting decision. She looks about 10 years too old for the role, even if she isn't actually 10 years older than RB. They really should have just kept Sabine, sine RB made no difference in ratings and is more expensive.

    • Kim used to say that you can tell when she was unhappy because she would try weird or new things with her hair.  I don't think Rauch was at OLTL at the time Zimmer was but their producer at the time probably wasn't much of a peach either. 
    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family
