Well they had to age Fen too since they did it with Noah and Summer. Fortunately, for now Abby is still the same age.

I'm interested to see how will the new Noah do tomorrow. He's finally getting a storyline, and we really couldn't get much from the first appearance.

Yup. We'll see how he stacks up tomorrow.

Is it me, or did anyone chuckle a little bit when Ana went runnin out of the house past Katherine and she didn't do anything??? Then after Neil and Tyra asked about her "I thought you knew she ran outta the house like a crazy person" :lol::lol:

Katherine was probably thinking to herself - Is senility creepin in or did some kid just run past me in the hall? :lol:

Who would you fire? I remember awhile back Vail Bloom was very unpopular, and new writers came in and catered to her "strengths," and now she's one of the more interesting characters on the show (to some). That's what needs to be done here. See what's not working, and give some of these actors a chance before handing out pink slips.

To me, coming in and just getting rid of people isn't creative at all. It's just lazy and unimaginative. That's why I liked MAB at first when she gave David a purpose, but then when she killed him off so abruptly, that's when she missed the mark. As for the stories, I'd rather for the writers to collectively be reigned in, and find a logical conclusion, or way to steer these stories back on track. Too much shuffling, and quick rewrites is only going to make this show even more unstable and nonsensical.

I can see your point, MTS. By the way, are you finding the show now unstable and nonsensical? Or are you saying that by just showing the people the door without trying to "save" the character would make the show unstable and nonsensical??

Just curious. :)

I am loving Adam and Heather. The corporate intrigue here is wonderful both with Jill at Jabot and Viki and Adam at Newman. There was one show last week that was just excellent. The one with Sharon and Phyllis narrowly avoiding a cat fight then the Jabot board meeting.

I don't think they refuse to do it - I think it's more that they just haven't gotten around to it. There has to be some reason they're keeping her around. There's also the fact that there's no one to pair her with right now. They brought in Eyal Podell for AL's Colleen, so I'm hoping they bring in someone new for TS.

At least Hogan Sheffer seems to be writing for TS now. It's not the frontburner storyline she deserves, but it's a start.

If she ever decides to leave, fine. Good for her. But if she is fired, there's no justice in the world.

If and when she leaves of her own accord, I would hope they would try to get Lyndsy Fonseca back, or just recast again.

    • That makes sense. Rauch did like to play games, as shown with some of the antics with the Labines. We should make some screencaps.  I can imagine her not being thrilled by much of anything in 1996.
    • I believe he also turned out to be Doug Cassen's son. I could be wrong about that. Yeah, he doesn't get talked about much in the history books. 
    • Cady McClain said the same thing with her hairdos - she switched it up so much because she was either unhappy or bored.  Kim must have been unhappy in 1996 because she has so many different short styles, it's wild (haha).
    • She definitely was trying new things with her hair and makeup in the 1986 scenes I saw so it tracks. Rauch wouldn't have been there, but it just strikes me as a conversation Rauch would have had with her with when he was at GL. Rauch loved to badmouth JC. So she put it in the book as if she had been told at the time. It's like how she has Michelle Forbes on GL years before she actually arrives or Ellen Wheeler firing people who had been fired yrs. before by Rauch or Conboy.
    •   From what actors have said, Y&R has been very busy taping the upcoming storyline, and that was up to and including the week of Diamont's party, and after.
    • Well, a good number of sets were up when I was there, but there was a limited number of people around. Even Y&R seemed dead, but maybe everyone was out for lunch at the time? I remember driving from the parking lot and preparing to enter the roadway when I saw Michelle Stafford and Christian LeBlanc returning from what I think was their lunch break. Not sure where they went or were coming from.
    • A scene I cannot wait to see. Julie Harris as Liliemae is the gift that keeps on giving; she's not outright evil, but frustrating, and in her own way, still pretty lovable.
    • Kim used to say that you can tell when she was unhappy because she would try weird or new things with her hair.  I don't think Rauch was at OLTL at the time Zimmer was but their producer at the time probably wasn't much of a peach either. 
    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale.
