I think the nixed crossover was Lily from Y&R.

Also - I don't think this actress Robin Riker is very good. I've seen her before and she's always been ok (she was great on Buffy!). she just doesn't seem to be a counter-point to Stephanie. Stephen, on the other hand, is a great foil to Eric. And they have her wearing these horrible clothes. And not that Beth or Stephen ever looked like their kids but she REALLY doesn't come accross as their mother. More like some sick, poor Aunt.

I had such high hopes for Beth. I envisioned she'd be played by some uber-witch like Donna Mills and come in with both guns blazing. I was hoping they would make her very bitter towards the Forresters and that she'd blame her abscence on them ruining her family or some crap like that. Oh how I long for the days when soaps had budgets!!!

Now Beth is going to have some rambling dementia disease and will not be formidible against Stephanie. One poster said the Logans were supposed to be the new Forresters, but they aren't. If I were to fix B&B i'd cure all the Logans ASAP of all their various diseases and disorders and get them back in the fight and really do a clash of the Lo's vs. Fo's.

The Logans have been having the same convo's for months, since they found out Storm shot Stephanie. They just changed the name of the Logan everyone was concerned about.

Why does their outdoor stuff look more staged than anyone else's?

So was Lauren's when she went to B&B.

And Ashley's.

Jackie needs to die. srsly. i hate her and always have.

B&B should hire Patrika Darbo as Sally's sister and have her come take over Spectra.

Or have lauren Fenmore buy it and move back to L.A.

oh and i *loved* the new shots between scens of LA and the outside filming.

He's mostly look. Great looks and I say this as a straight male.

For DAYS (pre-Marnie Saitta) standards he was a very capable. Considering that even Kyle Lowder got some acting sense on B&B, I guess he could do good or great things in L.A. - he's definitely much an improvement over Brad's past summer pastine hunks Sabato, Lopez et al.

As for Beth: she was a protective mom but very fair and reserved. She took Queen Stephanie's disses like a pro :lol: before she got carted off to Paris by her and Bill Spencer. Speaking of whom: Since Patrick Duffy isn't ready for a fulltime commitment, I highly suggest bringing back Jim Storm as the older male to this show.

I FLOVED Bill! Plus Storm and Flannery had insane sparring partner chemistry.

I guess. Lily just seems more random than them to me.

And it does seem like Beth has been saying the same thing over and over. It was okay the first time, but they've been having the same conversation for 3 or 4 days now.

They NEED another another older male if PD doesn't want to stay on full time. Beth, Stephanie, Jackie, and possibly Pam (on and off) can't all be after Eric.

    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.
