Yet, this girl had no problem singing to a bunch of complete strangers at a birthday party her first day in town. Imagine that! :lol:

I loved "Daria", too! Don't get me wrong! Mac is closer to being Daria, though, than she is to, say, Punky Brewster?

Now, here's something I don't understand: since when must I sympathize with Chloe about anything? I saw her glare at Billy and Mac today during the wedding; was I supposed to feel sorry for her? Because, frankly, I don't. IMO, that conniving skank from the dark ages is getting exactly what she deserves. (Strange, really, coming from a diehard Nola Reardon (GL) fan.)

There's really no one to root for in this triangle... not that there's anyone to root for in the Phickon one either but those characters are more established. Right now, it's a bad thing. But it may pay off later on when <crossing fingers> Chloe goes ballistic.

I like CF and I think she's doing a very good job playing classic Mac. I've always loved the character because she is the anti-Amber/Chloe. For the most part, you can count on Mac to use her head and not just her heart. She doesn't step over or on anyone just to get what she wants, but she usually won't let anyone step on her either. At least not for long. For me, she's always been a refreshing unique character. There are enough superficial divas in training on Y&R right now anyway. Usually, I prefer the bad girls, but Mac is the exception to that. I probably feel that way because she isn't a happy go lucky kind of character. I thought she had chemistry with Billy in the flashback scenes today, but I like Billy/Chloe, so I'd rather see Mac with someone else.

I give Jess Walton mad props today. I think she was a great sport and did a wonderful job.

Totally. Jill is a train wreck right now, but no matter how vicious she is towards Kaye, you can see the pain written all over her face. The Jill/Kaye story is my favorite right now. I really want to see them come to an understanding.

Remember last week when I suspected it?

One way it would be stupid because they're re-do another story.

But in another way, Victor would be forgiven eventually and Adam/Mary Jane would be safe.

    • 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!
