Thank you Mark and WorldTurner. :)

Jill should be as alone and lonely as possible--it makes her do crazy things.

As for Murphy, I was going to say the exact same thing. I don't doubt that he will eventually die. I want that to happen a few years down the road, after we've seen all the story possibilities that those two have take place, then I want a silent, but quite painful in terms of emotion, death. If it has to happen, anyway. I'd hate to see one of the few true romances on daytime right now just be thrown away quickly.

I love this.

Ana lost most of my residual positive regard when she could summon NO EMOTION during that pivotal custody episode.

She reads lines. She darts her eyes. And that is it.

Doves COULD fly out, and she'd register no surprise.

I think Jill's been alone and lonely for many years now. Even when she thought Kay was her mother, she never completely fit in. She has Cane, who has helped give her some happiness, but she didn't raise him and still carried the pain of what happened to the boy she raised and lost. I would like to see more about Jill trying to find happiness, trying to define her life outside of Katherine, and finding someone who can understand her and help her, and less of Jill being unhappy or suffering. I think Jess can do more than what they give her.

I would also like to see Kay start to show her claws. Not because Murphy dies, but with Murphy still alive. I'd like to see how Murphy reacts to the side of Kay which isn't so sweet.

He'd try to reason with Kay, then with Jill. When neither woman seems willing to bend, Murphy decides he is better off living apart from Kay. Of course, Kay loves Murphy too much to let him leave, so Cane, acting on Kay's behalf, tracks Murphy back to the diner to bring him back home. Unfortunately, they're stopped along the way by a pair of carjackers, who attempt to steal Cane's expensive car. A fight ensues. Cane and Murphy, both critically injured, are rushed to the hospital. Cane survives, but probably has to undergo surgery to remove his spleen or his kidney (or some other organ he could live without). Murphy, OTOH, does not. Jill blames Kay for putting her son in harm's way inadvertently; Kay, devastated by Murphy's death and Cane's injuries, is tempted to fall off the wagon; Chloe, Esther and Nikki, however, intervene; Chloe and Billy are at odds, b/c, Chloe thinks Jill has been completely unfair, while Billy feels he has to stand by his mother (the whimp); Cane asks Jill not to be angry with Kay, but, of course, that's like asking a baby not to cry; and...well, the story takes off from there.

I like that, but I would like for them to discover while Cane is undergoing some type of blood transfusion that he and Jill aren't related and that it was all a mistake. Then I want them to go and match Jill's dna with the man burred in Phillip's III's grave (if that's still possible) and we discover that he was really Jill's son. Then it opens up a whole new world of pain for Jill and another war for her and Katherine because not only has Jill been stripped of her son once, she's been stripped of him twice!

I thought of that, too, but fat chance it'll ever happen under any circumstances now that Kay-is-Jill's-mom has been reversed.

I think in time they will do it. Most likely after the introduction of Phillip IV. Like there could be some weird thing going on with him, like he could get injured and Nina isn't around and Jill steps in as his grandmother, but not realizing his father isn't her son and the doctor is like "You're a match." Then it opens up this whole avenue of questions about Cane and Phillip III.

    • 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
    • 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!
