Absolutely no worries. I love Jared and Natalie, and totally get that not everyone does and I don't take it personally. My thing is Tess right now, and I can't figure out whether it's Bree's acting choices or the intention of the writers and directors. It's no secret I have never been a Jessica fan under ET or BW. She's just not my thing. But I've always said I think Bree is one of the more talented actresses on the canvas. Unfortunately, it's not showing at the moment. I think both ET and BW brought very different nuances to the character, but none has made me like her any more (although I did like Tess and Nash in the beginning).

The Tess story is just getting on my nerves, and I think part of it's because it's so campy and OTT (like many of the other stories on the show right now) and part of it is because I am disappointed that it's not more about the Buchanan FAMILY dynamics that I think are so out of kilter. It's all about creepy Tess, twirling her knives. It's just not very deep. Perhaps one of the reasons you're still bent out of shape about the Jared reveal and everything else is that there's really been no movement or transition since the BE board meeting that would make you feel any differently. No body has done anything. All that has pretty much been dropped except for the occasional run in with Clint and the rare interaction with Jared and Viki. How is the family ever supposed to heal (with or without Jared) if they're not even scratching the surface?

I am also really annoyed that Natalie and Jared aren't doing anything to try to recover BE.

Aww....that was a nice Addie/David montage. :lol: They were hilarious together. I'm gonna miss them.

I'm surprised Cole is giving up his baby! :o I thought there was going to be custody battle. This seem to come out of nowhere. I'm finding that suspicious. <_<

      I very much liked office Cleary and the actress who portrayed her (as you say, Mary Peterson).  A shame her turn didn't evolve into a contract role.   BTW, does anyone know the timeframe/years that Betty Rae served as casting director?  If i understand correctly, she not only led the effort for contract roles, but also for shorter 13- and 26-week roles.  IMO, GL had LOTS of very well-casted, limited roles, too. I'm surprised the actors throughout the soap industry, and especially P&G actors, have not assembled a book or something similar, praising Rae.  Each actor could write a few paragraphs or a page of text describing his or her experience.

      No. Ruth had an extramarital affair with David while married to Joe.

      I'm not sure I agree with Bernstein's children on that. Bernstein's life and activism here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Bernstein#Social_activism_and_humanitarian_efforts

      Thursday & Friday's episodes were excellent. The build-up was most definitely worth the wait (2 months). TMG, I can't give her enough accolades. AM, was also absolutely incredible. I think the fallout is going to have a ripple effect. The little clues that have been dropped,  hopefully, will weave seamlessly to reveal even bigger bombshells for the Dupree's and Martin.

      Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.

      The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archived copy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD

      Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.

      What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.

      Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.
