It would give Jess Walton a lot to do too because she could be fighting to get it back the whole time. SHe's at her best when she's scheming and fighting for what she wants.

Can you imagine if Victor is presumed dead at some point. He just changed his will, so Adam will really rule the roost with Nick and Victoria out in the cold. I have a feeling they might go there.

Adam gets it honestly. He thinks everyone who works for Victor is just [!@#$%^&*] under his shoe, and that is how he now carries himself.

Although, when he got there, it wasn't like that. What has started turning me against him was when he tried to block the papers that Victor had sent to the ranch, and told one of Victor's people to have all calls rerouted to him.

Adam is REALLY grating my nerves lately. Yeah WE know Victor left on his own but others know his history better than Adam who has only known Victor for a hot minute, yet he thinks he knows every damn thing. And will Neil please put that little ass whipe in his place once and for all!

And Nick and Phyllis must be desperate as a fool to even think of having Brad invest in RS, let alone ask him. This is one time I agree with Victor. He knew Jack was a snake in the grass (and so did Nick but he just didn't want Victor to be right) and here we have him misreable.

^^^But Jill is the BIGGER jackass to even let that thought cross her mind, let alone making it a fact. She should know better than anyone that Brad is gonna screw her over for not making him CEO. The first step was going to Jack. Next I bet he tells Kay about Jill wanting him to help her oust Kay from CE.

Cane running the company is laughable. I am loving though how Jill is trying to cut Brad off...lol

I could care less about Cane and his baby drama...boring

So we are to believe Sabrina was the love of Victors life? Yeah right.....not buying it.

For Jill, the move makes PERFECT sense: She trusts him, she thinks she can control him (so she is EFFECTIVELY CEO), she thinks she can mentor him (every mother's dream). She thinks, unlike Nikki/Brad, she has a guaranteed ally.

For Cane, the questions run deeper. When he was first hired as construction manager at Clear Springs, he said he was underqualified for that. When, after CS blew up, he was employed at Jabot, I forget if he was humble.

Now, he hits pay dirt. Why is he smiling? Two possibilities: (a) He relishes the confidence and believes he can manage the challenge, or (B) this is finally the fulfillment of that phone call he made: "I'm in!". Plus, with a wife and child to support, I guess he needs more $$. :)

    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
