Another World

Scannell certainly has the look but the chemistry between Julie Osburn and Stephen Schnetzer was so unique and wonderful that I'd rather remember it fondly than risk a pale imitation of it.

Then again, Schnetzer did have chemistry with almost everyone, so who knows?

SS as Cass Rating & Ranking

1 Frankie A++

1 Kathleen A+ *

3 Lila C

4 Nicole D

6 Felicia romantically F

5 Cecile romantically D

* When Kathleen came back, IOW, her second tenure with Cass, an attempt at least, this is not tied for 1 nor does it get an A. It was like a C-, not an epic failure but also not a success.

Obviously this is totally subjective.

Thanks, tep for the idea.

It would depend on the writing as well. Depriest did MJ so dirty that I shudder to think what might have become of a recast Kathleen.

This is one of those moments when I am very likely going to say, WOW, you said a mouthful when you made this statement about MDP!!! 

[Maxim]

All I can say is that I'm not a fan of MDP for now... and I don't even know if I'll continue with the 1987 episodes. I just tried one more and it's just... unbearable. I will probably snap back into 1989... where it's good! 

[Contessa Donatella]

You've done an admirable job of giving MDP a fair chance. No need to torture yourself. Also it's Philece impersonating Donna not the real deal Anna Stuart. 

In 1989, have you gotten to the week of Felicia's birthday yet?

I have a thing about that week. 

So, all along for years, fans ask me things about AW. One thing I was asked over & over was if I had any pictures of Linda Dano with long hair. By that they meant when she had the hair extensions in, which dates to that week in 1989 & the birthday bash with the Room of Mirrors where Jason Frame was shot. 

Well, I looked & looked & there simply were NO pictures. I figure Linda hated them & had them destroyed or something, maybe. So, I did screenshots so now I have those pix.

I think that's what I'm going to do. I may try again in a different time, but for now I'll pass. I plan to drag my husband into watching AW with me, so I may have to watch October-December 1988 again with him. It will be a pleasure.

You've been a real trouper!!

We clearly weren't meant to see Kathleen and Cass as a proper couple in her second go-round. They had almost no fun moments together. 

At their best I would put them over Cass and Frankie. Stephen and Alice worked well together but I find the relationship overrated and a bit dreary at times. 

I would give Cass and Lila a B.

[Franko]

Did Cass' post-1999 appearances on ATWT and GL imply that he was still with Lila?

[Contessa Donatella]

I don't think there was anything implied one way or the other. There wasn't any dialogue, I don't believe, about his private life at all. 

[Franko]

Thank you. I wondered if there was something cutesy, like Cass calling to say he was on his way home, etc.

[Contessa Donatella]

Oh, yeah, the writing definitely had it out for them. 

I would suspect that about half of Cass fans go with one & half with the other. From a competition perspective, they'd have to be called well-matched. 

I'm quite furious the new Digest special edition "50 greatest couples" does not list Steve & Alice at all. 

I am possibly a bit weird about Miss Lila because I really & truly thought she was perfectly suited to Matt. 

Have you thought about the fact that Baby Jasmine is now in her mid-twenties?

Thanks for playing my RATE CASS's Ladies game.

 

They should have! I swear they wrote him so boring. Just an attorney, period. What a waste!!! 

[DRW50]

It speaks volumes for how much charisma Stephen had that he even had so many popular pairings (and I think Nicole/Cass even had a few fans, although I wasn't one of them).

I could swear he mentions her in one appearance but I may be making that up.
