I'm not surprised although it's disgusting, if true. Honestly, I'd rather see mumbles Braeden leave than MTS.

I never understood LML's decisions in casting the Australian(s) but Goddard should never have been made the Chancellor heir to begin with, that's been a huge f*ck up from the get go.

At the moment I love MAB, but if she lets Melody Thomas Scott go, she's worse than LML.

Yes, I went there.

Matter of opinion, obviously.

Is there something wrong with casting Australians? :huh: Look, I understand that some people have issues with the two Australians on the cast, but surely it's not beause they're Australian?

For the life of me I still don't get why everyone hates the Cane/Phillip retcon. I actually understand why LML did it. Obviously Bill Bell screwed up by killing off the 'reel' Phillip, and LML wanted Jill to have a son, and since the 2006 Billy recast was a disaster, she created Cane.

I don't see what is to be gained having the Jill/Cane thing reversed. Thom Bierdz' Phillip is dead, so obviously he can't come back. So what would be the advantage?

Because it makes no sense for Jill's son to be the same age that Goddard is, and it's going to look even more out of place when Phillip IV arrives.

If LML wanted to give Jill a long lost son, fine, but it shouldn't have been Phillip III. You don't retcon a character that has been dead for nearly 20 years. You also don't make her long lost son's nationality something from another continent, the fact that she has a long lost son is unrealistic enough, but to make him an Aussie on top of it?

This whole retcon totally screwed up the show's history and it's timeline.

Jill never needed a new son to be a viable character in the first place.

I like to say one thing. How was it a mistake that they killed of the real Philip in the 80s or early 90s? The show was doing just fine with the real Philip dead.

We didn't need this fake Philip or this stupid storyline switch they gave to Katherine & Jill just to cause a conflict between them. Because LML was a hack & she didn't have anything better to write for them.

I still think MAB should have undid Jill & Cane thing first. Only people who fighting for Cane to be true Philip is the Lame Fans they don't want Lily to look like the easiest fool they have on Y&R. The girl is just too fast. Next time she gets involved maybe she needs to do background check & not on the computer.

    • 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!
