Wardrobe aside, I don't care how Clementine looks. It feels like she doesn't want to be there. They should have never re-created the original Mac/Billy vows, even though they were recasts then too.

I LOVE how Billy brushed off Victor!

Oh, and I enjoyed Ana's singing today. Very well done. Victor needs to shut up, saying at "your age," to Kay/Murphy like the man isn't a fossil himself.

Oh, come on, not even a little? ;)

Yeah, like we had any doubt you wouldn't.

Seriously, brimike, do you even know which soap we're talking about?

Really? I thought she was a bit timid, myself.

But see, OF COURSE Clementine wants to be there. It's a gig! She's done publicity for it.

You've also been told she has played animated on other shows.

So, obviously, this is the note in the script, and how the actress is playing it. I think you might be bringing something to the show and the actress that isn't there. MAC doesn't necessarily want to be there. MAC had to be talked into staying. MAC is uncomfortable being so close to the love of her life. MAC has PTSD from Darfur. That is what you're seeing.

LOL! Of course I do! I'm all for pain and heartache and tragedy, believe me. And I'm not even talking about a whole story, or even a whole episode, or even a whole scene. I would be happy with a moment or two.

Like MarkH said, a few scenes with a mentally stable Kevin would really go a long way, and address exactly what I'm talking about. Easily solved.:)

No, the actress is not playing that way. The writing is sorta there, but the actress is just so stilted. Just because she's done publicity doesn't mean much. In a dying economy, the only thing that matters much these days is collecting a steady income.

But, Mac had a rough life even before Darfur. Believe me, it's just not in that girl's nature to be anything less than "anhedonistic".

Wow, they're not using Nina much today are they? I love Tricia though, she's like such a little kid (I mean her goofiness today was enjoyable).

I have a question, is everyone posting here watching live right now?

You know what I think it is? We see a young woman (Mac) with great hair (w/ extensions), great wardrobe (although, that's probably debatable), perfect teeth and cheekbones; and we assume this girl knows what it means to enjoy herself and have a good time at least occasionally.

Truth is, though, Mac, IRL, would be working at your local book- or music store, with an imperfect body shape, dark-rimmed glasses, hair chopped off and in at least three different colors, wearing flats and dark-colored clothes most of the time, and generally never registering an emotion above "mild bemusement".

IOW...? Mac is Daria.

    • 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!
