There is no point in un-doing the mistake of having Jill and Kay as mother and daughter only to go and re-do that mistake with Gloria or Nikki or anyone else on canvas. If they want to introduce a daughter, bring on a new character.

The Fisher/Bladwins (Gloria, especially) are like parasites that suck the life out of anything they come into contract with. I do not need them tied to someone I love, like Katherine, for life.

Gloria as Katherine's daughter is as bad, if not worse, than Jill as Katherine's daughter.

I'm gonna shout from the rooftops, okay? Just once. Forgive me.

I FEEL IN MY BONES THAT GLORIA IS KATHERINE'S REAL DAUGHTER!!

This story doesn't serve Gloria...ultimately, she does not deserve a mother like Kay. (But, not having had Kay explains a great deal about why Gloria is the way she is). BUT MICHAEL AND ESPECIALLY KEVIN DESERVE A GRANDMOTHER LIKE KATHERINE. I honestly believe, if that could be true, Kevin might ... maybe ... finally get past all this.

The only implication: Mac and Kevin better not hook up, or she'll be doing ANOTHER cousin!

We'll see how Mac and Kevin proceed. If the writers move them in a romantic direction, we'll know that Gloria is not Kay's daughter. But I'm betting Mac will just be a supportive friend...respectful of his marriage to Jana.

Once, more, with feeling:

I FEEL IN MY BONES THAT GLORIA IS KATHERINE'S REAL DAUGHTER!!

You know what, I'll drop it.

But here's another point I've been pondering. In the end, it DOESN'T MATTER if Gloria is Kay's daughter. Because it is becoming very clear to me that, regardless of biology, Kay is becoming a kind of mom/grandma to Amber and Kevin. Murphy even said so...so I don't care about the blood ties.

I do not understand how anyone could love Gloria. Who can feel any sympathy for a woman the runs back to a man that treats her like crap repeatedly - and her fans blame Jeffrey for that!?!?

Who can feel symapthy for such a one-note monster that repeatedly makes the same mistakes over and over and never pays? Mark apparently loves character growth, where has Gloria's "growth" been?

Who can feel sympathy for a woman that continues to use her children as a means of getting out of problems she causes?

I DO NOT GET IT!

I don't really want to ever know who Katherine's daughter is, personally. Or Jill's mother. (Really - who cares who Jill's mother is? I love my 80's year olds, but I don't really need a new one introduced)

But I love the idea of Katherine and Murphy as foster-grandparents to Kevin. I don't see anything wrong with that. And I find it more interesting if they're NOT doing it because they're actually related. Makes it more special.

I feel little sympathy for Gloria (although she broke my heart -- broke it -- when Jeff was so vile and stole her money and divorced her). Sylph called that one correctly: It is Judith Chapman I adore, along with her fearless willingness to play such a distasteful, narcissistic woman. She's not trying to gloss the rough edges. She lays out Gloria's dysfunction for the world to see.

You're mistaking my love of Gloria. I love her not because she is inherently good. I love her because she is fearlessly, recklessly bad.

I acknowledge there has been NO growth with Gloria, which is another departure from the soap canon...where the bad are supposed to get better through love. Not Gloria (not until she finds her biological mother...but I digress).

I do feel MAJOR sympathy for Kevin and Michael....especially Kevin. And Rikaart just kills it. I really just want to wrap a comforting arm around his shoulder and help somehow.

Yup...well put.

I'll drop the biological tie thing, 'cause it seems to be provoking some kind of mob response.

I didn't mind Michael and Kevin until Mommie Dearest came to town...... <_<

It would be nice if they would at least write GloHo and Jeffass off the show, the two of them in addition to a few more who are just playing tagalong characters that are taking up space on the canvas and money in the budget .....

Yeah, I don't really get that. I can understand not liking Gloria/Jeffrey/Kevin/Michael, but this drum-beating is a bit much. It's not like they're monopolizing the show, like in the LML days. They've been on four or five days in the last week, but that's only because Kevin was caught finally. They really haven't been on all that much.

There's always a small portion of any show's cast I don't like at any given time. I don't wish them off the show - just give them to me in small doses.

I feel bad for the people who hate Nick/Sharon/Phyllis/Jack the way others hate the Fisher-Baldwins. Life REALLY sucks for them. :lol:

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
