What I always loved about Tricia's acting was the mix of toughness and vulnerability. Nina was not a fool, but you could see why she believed David loved her, and why she exploded when she found out he was conning to her. Only when they took away that core strength, like with the Ryan/Tricia/Nina story, did I think the character began to suffer. I wasn't a fan of her with Ryan. The only part of that story I enjoyed was after she broke up with Ryan and she kept making those digs about Tricia every time he would drop by to see Phillip. The story about Tricia going nuts was great, but Nina being there for some reaction would have been even better (I know TC had left acting at that point).

Soaphunks put up another clip, this one on Youtube, of Nina fighting with Jill and Kay after Phillip III's death.

Unless JW or JC have a specific line about loving Cane, they never seemed to really love him. Even as Kay gave Cane that huge wedding gift, she still seemed to be saying, well your father would have wanted you to have this money. i don't know if it's guilt or just plain weirdness, but they never seemed to close to be him.

I always feel the need to defend JM for some reason, I love the fact that he is not some wanna be "Grand Thespian". He brings an everyday guy to spoiled rich kid Nick. Of course fratboy is indeed a part of that. I read an interview with him the other day where he mentions something about MS has helped make him a better actor, I'm like ok so when can I see that better acting? LOL. Don't get me wrong I'm in a sense alot of times satisfied with Nick as is, but there are scenes that right when they end and I'm looking at Nick I'm thinking "okkk.....and...? is that it?" and not because of anything said or scripted. Anyway let me leave that alone. CE is impressing me more and more. I loved those prison scenes between him and EB right before Victor got him released.

YOu know what scene I searched for was the first scene of JW as Jill. I remember it so vividly - she was in her office with David or John Silva. I wish some uber-soap fan would compile a video of all the "The role of _____ will now be played by _______". I

I hope they can bring this back up again at some point, especially since the show could use another viable male character in that age range.

And then there's her father, we never found out who her father was.

So many stories for Nina just waiting to be finished.

Whatever happened to her mother Flo?

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I would wager that was because it was a new character for the likes of Devon, Lily and Nate to interact with. Watching the likes of Billy fall in love again-Phyllis, Chelsea,Lily and now Sally is repetitive, especially when he is no prize. Josh doesn't really do long term couples. So every year or so they swap partners. It diminishes them as characters as they don't seem to grow or learn from the past. We know those characters so well and they've been through just about everything, so the only solution is to involve them with new characters and have them react to the newbies drama. They tried with Ashland and the Rosales but Josh dumped the latter and wrote so badly for Ashland who could have been a long term antagonist. All we got was another short lived marriage for Victoria and another accidental killing. And Josh thinks having them sit in restaraunts for the whole episode talking business, mergers, takeovers and job switching is interestring. It's not. I feel sorry for the actors who must know they are serving shite.

      If I were to cast a Soap Opera veteran as Jan.. I would have picked Krista Allen (of Days and B & B fame) since she did move to the Atlanta area in late 2023... and knows all there is about the Soap opera way of filming.  And I could see her playing Ashley's mom.

      Is the set for Lulu's new house an updated version of the set used for the childhood home of Luke, Bobbie and Pat Spencer?

      AMC: Lifetime TV Movie Franchise Announced

      By Chris B · Posted

      I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!

      Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By edgeofnik · Posted

      I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.

      You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?

      Which has also slowed down from 100 pages a day, but I digress.

          Yeah. When even I am getting annoyed with it (and still need to catch up on DAYS new team...two weeks behind now grrr) enough to take a break...and B&B holds my interest more for a show where nothing is going on...it's a BAD sign.   Seriously thinking about that break until

       Then we go from there. I just can't believe JG just went and lost all the momentum that was built up over the last month. And during May Sweeps, too? No, ma'am.
