.

I agree with this assessment. She could play a shallow teenaged girl for the next twenty years. But why get married and have children? Why not be irresponsible and party instead?

Because there was still something likeable about teenage Lily that's completely lost these days, IMO.

It was LML's brilliant idea. I remember reading her spoilers back in the day... but it was MAB and Griffith that decided to go through with the storyline; they could have easily canned the story in the beginning.

First of all, the story makes sense and everything is fine, but why bring him back with this reveal if they will get rid of him soon? Will Mac go back to Billy then? It doesn't make sense, and we don't want Mac and Billy back together.

I am pretty sure that is really CK. What are they doing with all of the triangles on the show? EVERYONE is in a triangle. I can't quite buy the Raaauuuul/Mac/Billy sudden tri. I don't care. The only actor who was on the show when these characters were last together is DL. I could give a hoot at this point. Feels as made up as it is.

Why does every woman on this show need long hair? Does CBS own stock in Sally's Beauty Supply? Tyra and Mac's hair drive me mad.

Nick? Oh poor delusional Nick. WTF about the dream prophecy that WE HAVE NEVER HEARD YOU MENTION TO SHARON EVER!!!!! Not to mention you had that baby in your dream because Cassie was still alive. But, as we are all very aware, she is not longer among the citizens of Genoa City so how does that dream matter? Although we see and hear more about her than say, JT, so I can see why there would be some confusion.

But back to my mini-rant. Is this me or does this "We are meant to have a child because Cassie proclaimed it" come out of the blue? If there had been some mention of her death bed wish during either one of the cabin bonk fests, I would have understood. But it feels like the writers realized they hadn't focused enough on Nick's possible motivation for leaving his current family in favor of a rescuing Sharon through her pregnancy. I don't mind the set up for the next beats of the story but as with Nick's conversations in the last week, it feels like the writers were so rushed to get to this moment of him claiming the baby as his, that they stuffed all his regret into two recent conversation with Jack and Phyllis. I would have like to have seen the beats play out longer.

That said, Nick is a lying sack of sh!t. I would have given everything to see her lay her hand across his face when he told her he was only at the grave site with Noah.

However, all performances from the quad today were outstanding. They were perfection.

    • 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!
