The Red Swan was a MacGuffin.  In literature -- an object or device that serves as a trigger for the plot. Some soap opera MacGuffins have made for interesting storylines.  Sadly, the Red Swan was not one of them.  Poorly conceived and poorly written.  Probably one of AW's worst major storylines EVER.

Nooooo... why does my luck always has to be sooo bad. I was just beginning to enjoy the show!  Anyways - thank you for the clarification! I hope I "disagree" with you when I watch this storyline... And I hope I enjoy it.

 Knowing my taste, probably won't... but we'll see.

She mentioned in her WLS interview how degrading the experience was.

I didn't really mind the story. The worst I could say was I found it somewhat dull.

Given how much P&G had let ATWT rot away in this time period I wonder if they would have been as upset if JFP had not eviscerated so much of the budget.

Heartbreaking to hear this - I knew she had had cancer but didn't know her current status. I hope all the best for her.

Quite honestly I prefer a trainwreck to... dull. But thank you for trying to keep my spirits up.

You all will see my honest reaction when I get to this part. I just hope it's not Margaret DePriest level of cringe dialogue!

Barcroft left AW in 1971 on her own- no one showed her the door.  Then, Agnes Nixon wrote her a part on All My Children.  No one made her take the dayplayer part of the pharmacist on AW in the late 80s.  She “degraded” herself, no one at AW was to blame for that.

    • Goulet also had an odd way of speaking - very clipped and brisk, like she had just gotten out of a '40s film. She had this on all her soaps. She was a better actress than Tolan and did well enough with Mary's grief over her marriage in her final week or two in the part, but had no real spark. 
    • The finale peaked at 31.1 rating when Katherine hit Bobby with her car.
    • Exactly. And it's not like Stephanie didn't live a life when Hennig played her.  There are so many stories and relationships you can mine from her past.  And we just got......a book and sex with Alex or the random Bobby backstory which no one needed  I trust new writing can get the character back on track.  Like I said, I do think Abigail Klein has charisma.
    • Today (Thurs May 15) eppy not on paramount *menu* but it's on cbs.com. If you take the cbs episode URL and substituted paramountplus for cbs in the same URL, you get the episode on pplus https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/ https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/
    • Really good episode today. Even the characters who usually annoy me, like Chase and Brook Lynn, got some sweet scenes. I also appreciate that they're finally giving Lucky more to do, letting him in on Ric & Ava's blackmail scheme. And those Liz and Lucas scenes were fantastic;  Van Hansis has been bringing such playfulness to the role of Lucas, he brings out the best in scene partners like Laura Wright and Becky Herbst. It was also nice to get Liz's perspective on why her romantic rapprochment with Lucky is moving so slow; it makes perfect sense that she thinks he's not really capable of settling down, even if he wants to be with her. 
    • I thought Keith did great as well. His scene with Colby was what sold me. He displayed the emotions that a man who knows he's made a mistake and wants to rectify should have. Its funny how Maurice has been given passes in his acting that other actors have not. What Keith has shown me is that he can atleast keep up with the ladies in his story instead of them acting circles around him when Maurice was playing the role.      
    • Also Murder, She Wrote season 3 finale was the week before.
    • When Kat was in Ted's hotel room and he wasn't there, she started to write a note to leave for him, and then thought Why? and texted him instead.  Love that.
