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 [!@#$%^&*]-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!

    • Yes. I don't know if Lenore was ever asked. Then it became a nun. Thanks. I didn't realize it was in 1987. That timeline doesn't make a lot of sense even if she would have had Ed to interact with. If they didn't ask her back in 1989 and she was willing, what a stupid error. The attempts at these feuds, or even the whole families tied together stuff like Maryanne Carruthers, never had any real impact because of how depleted the Bauers felt even by the mid '80s. And instead of expanding them, which would have been common sense, various producers were just too lazy, or too ashamed, and kept bringing on other families, or bringing in too many people at one time and not knowing how to write for them (the Spauldings in the McTavish era - as SOD said at the time, everyone in the family had the same personality).
    • Wasn't there talk of them bringing back Rita as Gus' mother at one point? Or something?
    • I think they are a part of the same family, although Carla was never really scheming for the same reasons, and once her double life was exposed, she stopped. 
    • Rachel/Ada, Mona/Erica, a mother/daughter at LOVING, these are all examples of the Agnes Nixon "troublesome daughter/put upon mother" trope. Are Carla/Sadie by any chance one of the pairs that make up this trope? Another thing that these 2 shows might have in common. OLTL had a very strong thematic approach to socioeconomic differences between groups of people. Class differences. AW at an earlier point had this too but to be clear it was not as much as OLTL. So that is a similarity but marginal.  Besides that, I see no other comparable things. Paul Rauch was a very different EP at different shows. Oh, I've thought of one more thing. Using actors from the Broadway stage.  But, realistically that was something all of the NY shows had in common. So I don't think it has any uniqueness between AW & OLTL.  
    • When you look at the period between Sweeps, it's as if they tried to maintain a kind of pace where they had a lot of plates spinning in the air & on their fingertips & the whole goal was nothing but to not drop any of those plates. A version of spinning one's wheels. They're not getting anywhere but they give the appearance of a whole lot of activity. I believe it's all about this appearance. At moments they accidentally hit a chord & something resonates but it is a false event.

    • I’m not speculating anything, but I admit, I’m getting a little worried about James Reynolds. 
    • I feel like this is what they're doing by creating lots of storylines but their biggest weakness for years is the inability to properly pace these stories and give resolution. A good example now would be the Gio story which has been simmering for months with very little movement. I went from not caring to being invested to not caring again because of how long it's taking for the secret to be revealed. One story like that would be fine but it seems like everything moves at this snails pace on GH. They need to do a better job of rotating the stories so everything isn't in that same treading water phase.
    • However, those of us who watch DAYS have been spoiled. On Peacock there are no preemptions. Not for anything & not in or about any show.  I read somewhere that we Baby Boomers in a way invented instant gratification but then we realized that it was not fast enough.
