Heather was created back in '79? So, that would mean she's at least 15 years older than Adam. Yet, they look to be about the same age. Fascinating.

That's because he was SORASed and she wasn't.

It's the same kind of confusion that's going on with Nina's son Phillip IV and Cane Ashby.

And Nick should be all of about 22 now.

You know, back in the day, characters would be SORAS-ed, yes, but there was a certain, inner logic to it. TPTB at least attempted to keep everyone born within a certain, narrow period of time in the same age range. Now, though, anything goes. That's why, for example, DAYS' Sami is allowed to be involved with a man (E.J.) who was born when she already was in her 20's.

But you know you hate (or love to hate?) a character when even when she is talking sense, you cannot stand a thing that comes out of her mouth!

I've always believed a love-to-hate character was someone who does the most despicable things (for the "right reasons", of course, lol!) that, in your heart of hearts, you wish you could do (or would have done) if you were in the same circumstances. You can't help but root for that character, even though, you know you should know better.

Like Phyllis back in the day LOL.

Like Phyllis back in the day LOL.

Definitely. ;)

How long has it been since we had a character like that -- on any soap? Someone who would compel you to watch (and to keep watching) w/o going completely overboard (hi, OLTL's Stacy!)

Not to mention she already had a 2 yearold when he was born, lol.

OLTL's Stacy needs to be slapped, gagged, whacked, and thrown into the East River.

Yesterday's episode of OLTL was painful. But now I'm seriously going OT and people coughY&RWorldTurnercough will start to complain about how we aren't being concise. :P

Amelia Heinle and Chris Engen have great brother/sister chemistry. It's not that hard to believe that they would be brother and sister (more believable than Nick and this Victoria). I like theit scenes together. It's not just the actors, but the characters too, both Victoria and Adam have stood up and opposed Victor before and have seen his bad side. Wouldn't it be crazy if some where down the road the two would team up?

  • Member
Did I miss something? Wasn't Adam supposed to...you know?

If you're talking about that spoiler, that's coming

Friday.

I loved the various exchanges they had last year, but her whining afterwards ruined the moment. It was great how he kept coming back and changing her Beauty of Nature into something different.

Oy! You just know the drones down in Newman's marketing department were ready to strangle upper management after awhile!

I would love if we got to see some of that! It would be nice if they created a couple of recurring--supporting--characters that work on lower-level positions of Newman and Jabot and to get to see them interact with the main characters, if only in throwaway business scenes. For a show whose premise is business and family drama, it would make sense.
