It's kinda hard to end up like LML (unless you are Passanante/Guza/Pratt). She would have to screw up every single storyline to go that far.

How hard is it for her to let Hogan write the stuff for the characters that she obviously doesn't want to write for? Or hire someone that would. And then mix it all up?

Ah, finally reciprocation! LOL

OT: Can I say I'm dying that a US network is not (yet) broadcasting the 2009 Doctor Who specials? I've seen 'em both, of course...but that is such a waste of revenue. It is the Heroes point all over again: Why not capitalize on the fanbase when the iron is hot? I loved when Sci-Fi released the last series within weeks of the UK premiere. That's how you do it. But, alas, I guess SyFy is not interested in the specials.

Why oh why must there be yet another triangle? And, like they're spitting us in the face, it's two women and a man. Again!

Have the writers run out of inspiration? These elements must not run across our screen again. Especially if the talent lack as much charisma as the former incarnations.

But... they are on backburner. And have been for a long time.

It was just a minor scene that is supposed to make us think there's conflict. We won't see any of that for a few weeks, I'm sure of it.

After watching Monday's show: major props to Judith Chapman who really put on a strong performance and Janice Ferri Esser wo wrote a great script linking the before-stand alone Xmas show feauturing Michael into the current story context.

Such episodes show me why watch Y&R. Kudos!

Well JT, Victoria, and Colleen were. Now it seems that they're coming to our screens more often now that something's brewing. And I'd rather they weren't. Even if they play it badly, can they write it well?

In terms of the Winters, if they're gonna be on backburner status, my point is why even bother creating these half-assed storylines for them, seriously? For a quota? This whole thing doesn't make sense.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward

      The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories.

      I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.

      That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April.

      As The World Turns Discussion Thread

      I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

      Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in.

      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.
