Which is how Kimsey played the role. I hope Ford wasn't researching her tapes. Ick. Then again, it makes sense that she was so tired, with her flight and her experiences. Hopefully on Tuesday's episode, she perks up a little... although I don't think that shou;d be a problem.

I think we will go through phases:

  1. Phase which otherwise wouldn't have existed, but which may last for some time: since she said herself her acting sucked, fans are going to be in the let's-give-her-a-few-weeks
  2. When Phase 1 ends, we'll here whispers of discontent, that will eventually become louder: some will say "God, this one is awwwful!", while others will try to be diplomatic and give her another chance
  3. Everyone agrees she sucks, and after 50 recasts, Mac finally dies a terrible death never to return again.

Exactly! Mac's supposed to look tired right now. She's had a long flight and one, just found out her grandmother is indeed alive after thinking she was dead and two, the love of her life who she had married then had to get an annulment after learning he was her cousin really isn't her cousin! That's a lot for one person to grasp all at the same time so she couldn't help but look tired.

No, I think she was badly written and never actually worked as a character (I'm speaking for myself, of couse, others will disagree). Then Bash made her to soporific, coma-inducing little sweetie bore, that I decided she needs to go. :lol:

I agree with you, I think Mary Jane is going to end up being Patti Williams, which I happen to LOVE...thus Doug Davidson's reprieve...which could mean a reprieve for Vail Bloom as well.

Well, the writing is that Victor got Mary Jane a bucket of plastic surgery...a good facelift, chemical peel, eye work and enough exercise and most anyone could look 15 years younger. So it's possible.

I didn't think so...I thought Patti just divorced Jack and left town...I don't think they ever patched anything up, Jack didn't press charges because he'd been such a sh*t about everything (ie: sleeping with Diane the day before his wedding)...

That is correct. Patty basically went away to heal (since she'd almost killed a man, and didn't remember it; plus she'd so foolishly rushed into marriage).

I do not want this. I do not want this woman to be Patty. But I have a different agenda....

You mean an Andrea Evans, Patty=Tawny agenda?

Yeah. I have that agenda, too. :P

As for Mac, I haven't seen her yet beyond Friday's cliffhanger, but this is a cursed role. Mac is a goody-two-shoes; one who is SO good and SO saintly that if they were to show shades of grey (as Billy Miller has done with Billy), there would be an uproar. "That's not Mac!"

Plus Her Holiness just got back from Saving Darfur. They'll have to find some way of humanising her, but I guess they won't be going the Bily "Charming Screw-Up" route. Which is a pity. I sort of want to buy into the idea that Mac & Billy are soulmates.

I am willing to give Clementine Ford the time she needs to feel out the role, though. I like her forthrightness and self-deprecation in a recent TVG interview. Mac needs some of that.

    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
