Y&R has the money to pay for Tricia Cast. The question is, do they want her?

THEY SHOULD. I have been thrilled to see her, she hasn't aged a day (losing weight helps), the contrast between her age and DG was not that much at all...Oh and while they're at it. Marla Adams as Dina Abbott Mergeron please!

I can't wait to see Lauren interacting with people other than her family. I love Lauren with Michael, but she is connected to so many characters on the show and it is a shame they only have her on to be Michael's sounding board and support. I hope they let Lauren bring out her claws a bit.

IMO Dina and Nina both need to stay full time. To pay you can cut Karen, Devon (or give him a real story), Colleen (or recast), JT, Jana, Kevin and even wrap up Jeffrey and Gloria's story. Then you have Michael Grazaidei who will leave when his contract is up. That should be enough money for those two plus Victoria Rowell.

:o

As much as I want Nina and Dina back, they're not worth obliterating the entire younger cast!

And don't even get me started on that lunatic Victoria Rowell.

I LOVED how Ashley and Victor looked during the funeral...Ashley was sort of Nancy Reagan-esque, so dignified and yet you just know she'd curb stomp anyone who gets in her way. There is this air of grandeur with Eileen, I LOVE it.

Devon and Ana did a wonderful "Amazing Grace"...Kate Linder and Melody Thomas Scott were great with their roses...Jess Walton and Julianna McCarthy just shined. It was magnificent!

If I was MAB, it'd be Friday and Monday's shows that I'd submit for Best Writing...they really were sensational.

Great point. I'm so glad nobody succumbed to the sanctification of Ashley (a bit of which did happen over at B&B). She was always a woman with a strong agenda.

Just remember when Ash was introduced to the show. She and Jackie were at each other's throats. They have had DARK times, those two. It will be great to see Bergman and Davidson play that...because they have never really had that chance.

I can't judge "Emmy" stuff, but I agree with everything else you write. Everyone's scenes today were TOTALLY in character.

Lauren hints at having claws and the look on the recipients face is priceless. This show has also been heavily acknowledging their history which is exhilarating to watch. If only they would have a few moments where Lauren could flash back to her teenage years.

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
