Mary Jane... :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub: - I was waiting so long for her to "meet" Paul. This s/l is so spectacularly good. I could watch her work her magic all day long.

Patrick Murphy - he is the most heart-warming character on soaps. It's so cool to see seniors in a sweetheart storyline. When he asked Kevin to stand up for him, and Kevin politely and understandably declined, it was so deep and spoke volumes about the characters and their new relationship.

Nina - Please stay in GC forever. And she never found her baby that was stolen from her by the evil Rose Deville. That s/l needs to be revisited, pronto!

Jill/Jeff/Gloria - Quirky, weird and fascinating.

Tyra - Please go model somewhere Eva. Please! She doesn't even look like she wants to be on this show.

IA with all who said Dina needed to be at this wedding. Where's Gina? Nina, Dina, Gina - heheh!

Nina never found her biological father, either (unless, it really was Jed Sanders?).

To me, though, part of Y&R's charm has always been how not every story gets a so-called happy ending. Sometimes, they do; yet, other times (Nina reuniting w/ her baby and bio dad, Chuckie finding out he's Snapper's bio son), they don't.

See, I consider each of those "banked stories". Like Terrible Tom's leaving Kevin a safe deposit key.

Some day, when we need it, it can be drawn upon. Even Jill's mom and Kay's daughter. I'm fine with letting it lie. But maybe, if the show is alive, a decade from now...it would make sense to explore.

Well, of course. Everything is always up for grabs when it comes to unexplored history. However, if Y&R went away in a few years, having never explored certain mysteries, I'd be content. Because, IMO, that's how life is sometimes; you don't always get the complete puzzle.

Yeah.

I'm gonna hate it when he dies.

Forget about jump-starting any feuds. History says Murph isn't long for this earth, now that he's Kay's "other half". Just ask Gary Reynolds, PC2 and Rex.

    • Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.

    • Sydney Mikayla (formerly Trina Robinson on GH) graduating from UCLA, June 2025 https://www.instagram.com/p/DKh92usSow8/ officialsydneymikayla In 8 days, I’ll walk across the stage at the #1 public university in the country — @ucla What a journey.

      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. 
    • 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
