Ah, that was not in the podcast so I guess that's why I didn't see it...

Well, ever since she joined the show up to 2009 she always had short scenes; it was always mentioned in some way, I can't believe you don't remember.

Eric Braeden rules! I love how his (and Victor's) take-no-s--- 'tude and also how he (and Victor) speak what's on their mind. I bet Eric gets a huge laugh whenever he wraps up a scene with Colleen/Heather trying to be all confrontational towards Victor. I know I do.

Totally unrelated, but I wonder if Bill Bell named Eric Forrester after Eric Braeden?

In the hands of a better actress, Amanda, given that she is the daughter of two idiosyncratic legacy characters, could've been a lead and really interesting character, but Chrishelle is just laughable. I mean, the poor girl does try...You have to give her props for that. Her lack of talent is really evident when she's in scenes with pros like RPG and VI. These guys might as well be talking to the wallpaper. If Frons was ever right about anything, he was right when he said that Chrishelle is not a lead actress. Although why he, McT & JHC didn't cast a better actress in the first place is a whole other story! I think Alicia Minshew sucks too, which I know is not a popular opinion. How anyone could think she is lead actress (I mean on the show, not the Emmy categories) material is anyone's guess. One of the show's biggest flaws for the past few years has been having her and a bunch of other no-talent actors front and center.

Get a better actress as Amanda and I might even be interested in her keeping the baby and fighting over it with David for years to come. As it is now, all I want is for him to get the baby away from her because I can't stand the thought of Amanda being more of a child than the child is!

Hearing her "out at Prohibition until 5am" voice makes me itch for the FF button. The idea that she's "too talented" for AMC and primed for Primetime where her talents will be properly appreciated astounds me. Cornelius Smith and Daniel Kennedy, maybe. Not sure about Stause.

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • 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.
