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 think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character
