Drew Tyler Bell did a great job with his confession scenes...it really makes sense for Thomas to be the one who wanted to incinerate Rick...I sure hope he gets away with it, good actor, good character, it would be horrible to lose either one in honor of Kyle Lowder.

Morgan Fairchild would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great on B&B. The fact is the show needs someone who can be a real menace to everyone. Lesley Anne Down, although enjoyable, isn't capable of that (now, if they brought on Joan Collins as her mother, well I'd be on board with that!)

Although my preference is to bring back Lauren Koslow's Margo Lynley (simply because she has show ties already and thus would have great 'flashback potential') Morgan Fairchild would be terrific. Morgan is 59, looks great (thanks to her own doing, she is a smart lady and is well educated when it comes to aging) and can sell it. She isn't a snob, has done daytime before, is professional and a very hard worker.

I'm all about Ms Fairchild. She likes to work (like most 50 something actresses who are still attractive AND professional, she does a few guest shots a year, Chuck Lorre is a fan of hers)...she's also very involved in SAG as a board member.

Yes, yes, absolutely. You hit the nail on the head.

B&B is in desperate need of trashy, hyper-drama, business intrigue & strong female leads - someone gorgeous or someone who isn't but can emit gorgeousness, over-the-top, gigantic hats and all that.

It has been said many times: soaps are about clichés, clichés always sell and if someone can cook up a great, several months long arc with Morgan Fairchild as a centerpiece, then it's all you need. And more.

I kinda like it.

But I wish they would have just sucked it up and took the picture together. Cast pictures are supposed to be like class pictures in a way. You get everyone bundled together, you show off your best smile, etc. It's supposed to be a unity thing as opposed to a collage and fancy art.

The best cast pictures to date are the 20th Anniversary One, the one with everyone piled at the stairs, and the one from the first year, with everyone in the Forrester Living Room.

Last year, they photographed the cast at the Bell mansion, around the pool, etc. Those photos were GORGEOUS.

I wish the show would scrap the [[email protected]#$%^&*]-ass opening it has now and reinstate the old one -- using the shots from that shoot in the stills.

I like the press release photo -- it looks very Dynasty! Albeit somewhat photoshopped. Hunter is channeling Alexis big-time! Jack Wagner looks like a Vegas lounge act.

:lol: Seriously! He looks like he's saying "Now. This song is dedicated to my closepersonalfriend Tony Bennett."

LAD is all "Where'd my pashmina go?"

And Winsor and Lesli's heads look like they were superimposed on other people's bodies. It is so obvious!

Yes. Yes, Yes, YES.

It needs someone who continuously says "darling" and "fabulous," it needs a diva with tons of make-up, ridiculous hats, fur-wraps, and long, red nails. Who says: "Bitch!" and "I'll DESTROY you, if it's the LAST thing I do!" all the time. Fairchild was BORN for this stuff!

      Totally agree. AL isn’t suited to Summer written this way (which is, truthfully, in character). HK wasn’t credible in the boss-bitch moments, which AL plays more easily.

      Welcome back, Tripp 

      Please register in order to view this content

      I’m glad Tripp is back in Salem and I like that he’s planning on being more assertive. He doesn’t deserve to get hurt again. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if some people in the Soap Universe are gonna be mad about his lines today Hopefully, we get some scenes of Johnny/Tripp and Wendy/Chanel. There haven’t been that many lately and this storyline definitely needs them. I think weaving Talia into it would be a good idea as well. She needs a new man now that the Colin storyline is over.  Rafe is still dumb. There really are no security cameras at that hospital that could have shown that Colin didn’t take Abe?? Speaking of Abe, his storyline is total ff material. James Reynolds deserves so much better than this.

      And Just Like That

      I've been rewatching early SATC (am mid-season 2), and am enjoying the mid-90s indie film vibe of the show at that time. It was a bit tougher and grittier but it also showed some of the growing wealth of the city at that time. SATC was always about pecking order and jostling for a better position, but on the romantic frontlines. I also enjoyed the Bad Dating SLs LOL. I understand why it went the fairytale-ish route. Part of this mirrored the evolution of the city itself, as Manhattan became more moneyed and, dare I say, unaffordable. It was a glamorous city that many aspired to live in and conquer against the odds. Part of it was also, as the show progressed, our own growing investment in the main cast and their SLs. Hence less standalone episodes and more a continuing soapy story of romantic relationships. IMO, this was a fairly organic evolution.

      Lanier is fine but I miss Hunter King as well. A lot of the material AL is struggling with currently HK would’ve had an easier time playing, she could knock out those bratty whiny freakout moments with little effort. AL’s Summer should be written as icier and more indignant.
