Putting the difference of opinion aside, the entire stuff needs to end. Not only with us, but also with other people. It's something that's going to trouble other people still, but we should rather choose to discuss the more important stuff, and leave the rest in peace. Let's just agree to disagree and leave it at that. I'm sure there are a lot of other stuff we might have in common. So that's it, as far as I'm concerned.

Couldn't agree more. He is good at arrogant SOB, but he is painful to watch when he is trying to show sadness and grief. It was so glaring when CLB and even KSJ were able to show emotion over Victor's presumed death and yet in the 15 secs Chris Egan tried to show grief all I felt was the guy looked constipated. Thankfully they pulled away quickly just like they did when Adam was grieving in Heather's arms. Maybe it is better they are turning Adam into a true black knight. That seems to suit him better.

The mimicing of Victor is starting to bug me a bit because it is just not subtle. It is one thing to share similar characteristics which signify a blood relation, but the blatant copying of Chris Egan of Eric Braedan's mannerisms plays off to me like a little boy puitting on his father's suit and playing the part of his father. It doesn't feel like they are natural character traits of Adam.

I have to say though I got a big kick out of Adam's face off with Michael near the elevators. He went toe to toe with CLB and really held his own. They need more Michael and Adam scenes like this. Maybe CLB and Peter Bergman can work with him on how to produce the man tears.

Sadly I agree and it is frustrating because at times he has really been able to pull the heartstrings. It just seems like the job is mostly just a paycheck to him. I appreciate that he prioritizes his family but he doesn't seem to work much on his craft. He is definitely better in family mode. I never bought him as businessman and now with Phyllis his scenes are mostly irritating. I have liked him in scenes with Nikki and Victoria these past couple of weeks aside from the terrible scenes in the truck on Monday's show. MTS and JC were pulling out their A game and whenever they went to Nick it pulled me out of the emotional feeling of the episode. JM didn't seem to get the message that Nick should be upset about his mother and father.

Ironic that Chris Egan is much better in business mode and Josh Morrow is much better in family mode.

Maybe true but the problem is he is working opposite very good actors and it doesn't matter if he is better than Josh Morrow, He has to step up and be better opposite the stronger actors on the show. I think he is doing pretty good, but I don't get all the Chris Egan love for his potrayal. I think he is getting very good writing, and gets to stir the pot but he does not blow me away like when Greg Rikkhart or CLB first came on the scene as bad guys.

Well first of all, so long Tyra and Ana, don't let the door hit you on the way out! What HORRIBLE characters, thank the good lord that mess is over.

Next, Joshua Morrow is certainly letting the Phick thing destroy him. He's being really lifeless and I don't think that's going to go too well for too long. She and Michelle Stafford are really bad right now. That is one relationship that needs to end, it's killing the actors. Chris Engen = Don Diamont. Pretty much.

I think JM is getting way too much credit.

He is an okay actor - at best - i love him, and the role works for him, but hes not steller - however sometimes when the material is amazing and hes in a scene with someone amazing he will rise to a new level. but i dont think he lazy when hes not good - i just thiks hes a bad actor.

Ooh...Jamia sang the song? Cool! No wonder I felt more this time than when Michael Damian's niece sang it a few months ago.

Did you just hear that Jamia sang it, or did you read it somewhere? (If the latter, I'd love to see the article).

I think Chris is OK as an actor. He is pretty sexy. He does not do emotional well, but I think that is true of many new soap stars.

Personally I think Josh is pretty darn good, particularly compared to other soap stars. Where did it come from that he was almost fired?

      I'm not familiar with Irna's timeline of comings/goings, but I got the impression Neil Wade was written off circa 1967-1968.  (And I might be jumping to conclusions, but I also felt maybe the character was jettisoned because Rosemary Prinz was leaving?)   I know who Doug Cassen is, I think.  Wasn't he one of Claire Lowell's husbands?  They didn't mention Neil was his son.  But clearly there was a LOT unmentioned in the short synopsis that I was reading.

      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
