I loved Jade too, and liked the actress.

When I first started watching ATWT, before the Hogan era, stories such as Alec's murder, Kirk and Sam, Georgia/Eddie, and early Katie, Chris, and Henry were what got me hooked on the show and I enjoyed those stories. That period of the show ranks very high with me as a viewer.

I liked most of Lloyd Gold's tenure on GL with the exception of the time travel, and parts of the Tori/Ross story, and Catalina(who was brought on by Labine).

This is in response to Cat's post:

I really think the writers and producers of Y&R had it out for all the tough "bitches," if you will. It just seems hella strange that all of the recasts withered and diluted the original characters-- Victoria/Colleen/Christel as Lily again (ZZZZZZ!)--, the introduction of cartoony caricatures -- Gloria, Amber, Jana(GRRRR!!), Stafford as Sheila (Kimberlin's definitely had a lot more self-respect and even reason,LOL, than Stafford's), -- or boring characters-- Karen/Maggie/Heather (who were all interchangeable)-- the "death" of Dru, Ashley's departure, and how they completely neutered Phyllis, Katherine, and Jill. The only one who developed a backbone was Nikki, for some strange reason. In fact, it was almost as if focusing all of that feminine power on that one character sucked it out of everyone else.

This is perhaps why I'm enjoying Sabrina's character of late. She's really sticking up to her feelings for Victor and her integrity. The women on this show haven't been standing up for anything, or, if they do, they whine about it. (Hearing Christel whining about Chloe as I write this).

Speaking of Chloe and unpopular opinions. Sure, she's a heck of a lot more interesting than the other 20 somethings women but she ain't all that. This fixation with Cane is utterly ludicrous, which isn't Elizabeth's fault at all. Still, not really seeing that much in her yet.

I will never understand the backlash against CK's Lily and the worship of DS's Lily. Soap actors have to have two things: 1) acting ability and 2) looks, and IMO, CK has both of them in spades, while DS didn't have either... at all.

Thanks DP. :D (Kind of disheartening that that's an unpopular opinion though. :()

Re-watching the Mardi Gras explosion (AMC) recently, it struck me: no one gives better explosion than Megan McTavish.

If that isn't an unpopular opinion, I don't know what is, lol.

I'll do one better. McTavish can do a damn good holiday episode. Better than many others in the business today.

Unfortunately, one day does not a good soap make.

    • Do you have Addie’s first air date??
    • Even now Victor is always so warm with Ashley. I liked their brief re-pairing as well.
    • @depboy Thanks. That does help. @titan1978 @Paul Raven Really enjoying the analysis of the production methods and what Monty was doing.  I wish we got some of those biopics here that a few UK soaps got as a biopic on Monty's first few years at GH would be fascinating. 
    • The original 'mansion' was one of the set upgrades they did in 1980 . It was the Chandler residence. When that story fizzled out I think it became Stuart Whyland's house -not 100 on that. But it was revealed that Stuart was working for the Di Mera's (rewrite) so Stefano moved into that house. Mmmm...then it became Alex Marshall's? Neil and Liz lived there also. At some point it was finally replaced.  
    •   Thanks. I'm glad she got to as I know some producers tend to get mad if actors want to direct.
    • I agree; I just wish we'd actually gotten a chance to see a modern Jack/Nikki pairing. It would have been my dream come true, especially since we got Ashley/Victor.
    • I don't remember that. What I recall is Alan living at Revabend, working as a farm hand and listening to Reva b!tch about money. Truly, I felt sorry for Pilon having to play that.

    • on ryan’s hope, when kate mulgrew (mary) became pregnant in real life it was written into the show. she gave the baby up for adoption, but mary had the baby (ryan) so, when she returned to the show she had to play a happy new mother. can’t even imagine. 
    • I have not found the time to listen to the whole thing myself, but I was tinkering with the Youtube AI helpbot thing (which in the app I found by swiping right on the Comments). The high level summary didn't point to it but it let me ask what she had said about Constance Ford and although its paraphrase was inaccurate it did point me to the mention about 52 minutes in. The only thing she said in relation to Ford that could be construed as negative was that when the interviewer asked what she had thought of her she started with "you devil!" and where she had gushed about how lovely she found practically everyone else, she just said that she hadn't really known Connie well and had never sat and talked with her. She also mentioned earlier that originally she had been very friendly with Jacqueline Courtney but they had later fallen out.
