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.

    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
