Y&R exits:

Gloria (not exiting, but severe backburn)

Jana

Sabrina

Korbel

David

Karen

Funny how all of these characters (excluding Gloria) are LML creations.

And I'd suggest the exit (or a break up) of these couples:

Lily and Devon

Phyllis and Nick

David and Nikki

Karen and Neil

Sabrina and Victor

Jana and Kevin

Victoria and J.T.

B&B

Exits

Kyle Lowder (Rick)

Ashley Jones (Bridget) (Recurring would be fine)

Jennifer Gaeris (Donna) (Recurring)

Returns

Jennifer Finnigan (Bridget) (Don't think she's doing anything is she?)

Ian Buchanan (James)

Patrick Duffy (Stephen) (Although he is back for a while I guess with Beth's SL)

Ben Hogestyn (Rick instead of Harry)

Courtnee Draper (Erica Lovejoy/Carter)

New

Victoria Rowell (Dru Winters from Y&R) (BIG dream I know)

Alan Dale (John Forrester) (It seems like that'd be stunt casting, but I think it'd work even if he wasn't well known, he could do some camp)

I'd give both Alley Mills and LAD big stories to see if either could replace at least some of Susan Flannery's talent when she does leave. Both of their characters are very over the top right now, so it's hard to tell. But I think both should be given a chance to see what they can do outside of the obnoxious characters they are now.

Kathleen Noone (Ellen Shepherd Dalton)

Tonya Pinkins (Livia Frye Cudahy)

Returns:

Larry Bryggman (Dr. John Dixon)

Yvonne Perry (Rosanna Cabot #1)

Also, I'd like to bring back the following:

Andy Dixon (either w/ Scott DeFrietas or a new actor), Scott Eldridge (who I'd put in a huge triangle w/ Rosanna and Carly), Adam (Hughes) Munson (out of prison, and trying to put his tattered life back together) and M.J. Dixon (John's son, a Dixon and a Snyder, and now SORASed to his early 20's).

New Characters:

* Natalie's daughter, Arielle Triandos, named after her late father, who originally didn't want children, but changed his mind once he saw her for the first time. (Unfortunately, Arielle replaced Natalie in Ari's affections, thus creating tension between mother and daughter.) A spoiled heiress in the mold of Paris and Nicole who soon becomes involved with Adam and Casey Hughes.

* I'd also like to introduce, gradually, two new families:

1) The Rosses - Cricket, Margo's sister; Ernie; Billy and Suzanne - through Margo and Tom (the "new Bob & Kim" of my ATWT).

2) The Shelbys - matriarch Claire (Julia Barr?), Hal Munson's sister; Tess, last played by Parker Posey; Cassie, Becky, Dave and Ben Jr. - through Parker and Adam.

    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
