I forgot to add that some Lily fans are already trying to pair her off with the next man once Lame runs it course. & you won't believe who they think could do Lily character justice.

On a side note: I ask these fans don't you want something more from Lily then she who she paired with. This LIly is actually being define who she's with.

This is the reason that I'm tired of all three of these characters, give them a rest already!

CK seems to be playing an extension of herself just as some of the other younger actresses are and her Twitter page sounds EXACTLY like she plays her character.

I didn't mind CK the first time around and didn't mind her reprising the role but she's been AWFUL this time around. Sadly. she hasn't grown as an actress one bit, she still plays the character the same way she did years ago.

I think it's real... see my above comment about it. Tammin Sursok's is just as bad, very childish.

Agreed. I thought she was fantastic the first time around. The Kevin/Lily story was a major highlight to me during that time though. Just excellent performances, and good writing for the most part. Then Khalil got burnt out, and Jack Smith tried to make her a lead actress.

CK and Sursok should both be playing teenaged roles since that's their acting mentality. Actually, Sursok's roles in the films that she's done are probably more suited to what she should be playing not Colleen in the boardroom trying to one up TGVN.

CK doesn't try but I partly blame the producers & writers for this. Why is there so little follow up on Lily/Daniel? Why doesn't she still secretly fear/hate/lust Kevin? Why isn't there lingering tension with Colleen over Colleen sleeping with Daniel? Lily isn't a three-dimensional character who carries her past experiences with her. You can say that an actor she should be asking those questions but the way Y&R seems to rolls is basically, actors please shut up and just act read your lines. As we just discussed, Joshua Morrow has had far more profound questions and the writers have done him no help in trying to explain why Nick's such a ditherer.

There aren't throughlines for most of the characters expect maybe Victor, Jack, Kay and Jill. Characters don't carry the past with them and the past doesn't seem to impact their decisions. Lily should be a wonderfully complicated heroine. One who loves Cane, but is also nostalgic for Daniel, confused about Kevin, loving but sometimes resentful towards Colleen, and so on.

    • 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!
