NO! REALLY?!?!?!?!?! :o :o :o :o :o

I am genuinely shocked.

You mean that measley little scene from over a year ago that would have been a non-event no matter who was playing the role? I think I remember it.

I see we're still scouring for new recruits for the 'We Hate Tammin Sursok' Brigade. :rolleyes:

When she actually gets the material, she can be surprisingly effective. Her last OLTL return was horribly written but there were some great faceoffs with Tess and her last scene with Viki was very well-acted by both ladies. Her scenes with Cain were also very good.

I can't see Y&R hiring her, they already have so many females in her age range, but I don't think she'd bring the show's acting level down.

The thing I really love about Adam is that he says what he wants. Like the book idea on Friday's episode. Victoria and JT are sitting there, so scared of saying anything to upset TGVN. It's like they're mortally afraid of being written out of Victor's will. With his blindness, Evil Adam has become the truth-teller of the Newman family. Fauxtoria offers up some lame non-excuse about Nick not showing up for Adam's birthday, and Adam just blows her off. Why BS him? He knows why Nick didn't show.

Speaking of Lame -- how about that shiteous dialogue between Cane and Lily? :blink: Half the time it was Wook at our widdle cute dawg! baby-speak. The other half it was dog metaphors as a prelude to some insipid flirting. Oh, what about Boo-Boo? Let's not kiss in front of the doggy! Good lord. How old are these people? 15?

I also loved the way Adam took Heather's hand and led her past Victor and into the party. A wordless moment, but Heather & Adam's chemistry shone through. Bloom also looked beautiful in that strapless coral dress.

Question: Didn't Adam treat Estella like [!@#$%^&*] when he was lording it over everybody last year? Why would Estella suddenly be all over Adam and arranging for his favorite food to be served?

Colleen = Victoria's Mini-Me.

SO tired of the Baldwin's pity party. Poor us! Poor us! Tragedy follows us around like a shadow! Nuh uh. Tragedy follows you around because you are led by an incompetent, selfish grifter who is always looking to get rich at the physical and emotional expense of her family. Speaking of Ole Bug-Eyes, where the hell was she on Friday while her family watched over Kevin? Why wasn't she at her precious baby's side? Is she feeling guilty for having let Tom beat the crap out of him all those years ago? Or just plotting with Jeffrey over how to get those damn Jabot shares?

Methinks the latter.

That's the biggest reason why I love the character of Adam. But you just know that Nick and Victoria will always come first.

It's disgusting, disturbing and shitty. Easy way to describe the tragedy called Lane.

ITA. I can't handle this family constantly having to defend themselves when they are all just a bunch of criminals.

Michael = huge crime past

Gloria = don't get me started on that one

Kevin = the stuff with Lily, burning down Gina's place, nearly killing Colleen (and many stuff in between)... and now this new stuff

Jana = "the brain made me do it"

Thank you, dmarex. I've always considered the Fisher-Baldwins to be the Borgias of Genoa City. Your succinct analysis only confirms it.

If Estella is working with Adam then it's not a continuity error.

The staff would be happy just to have their jobs back. I'm sure The Mustache pays well.

No, Miguel left during summer of 2008 to take care of his sick aunt. (Even though we haven't seen him on-screen since the summer of 2006)

:lol: Not in Soapland but... at least in Renaissance Rome, people knew the Borgias were a corrupt, evil, horrendous lot. And Big Cheese Rodrigo Borgia was the frickin' Pope! If anybody could have covered that [!@#$%^&*] up under a thin veneer of piousness, it was him. But no. He was openly evil and power-grabby. Unlike the Baldwin-Fishers who think they should be headlining the book When Bad Things Happen to Good People.

And lest you think the Borgias would be a great template for the B-Fs, Mark... Rodrigo's children included a psychopath, Cesare, who murdered his sister Lucrezia's husband in a fit of sexual jealousy! So, if Gloria = Rodrigo, she'd be doing Kevin and Kevin & Michael would be doing each other.

And the cover tag on SOD would read "... And Y&R EXPLODES!!!!"

    • 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?
