Probably if I lived mere blocks away from the beach in a semi-tropical state, and surfed (a life-long dream of mine), then I, too, would be living in Havaianas. Country-club Wisconsin? I'm sure guys DO wear them but they are probably frat boys who can't be bothered to change out of their shower sandals.

Abby and Noah can stay. :P So can Raul.

Honestly, I didn't even realize I was gunning down all the young 'uns. I just went for any character who had outstayed their welcome -- even the ones I really like. Michael Grazadei being a prime example.

A couple I think SHOULD be on the show but the actors portraying them are, IMHO, crap. That's why there are a bunch who should come back in a few month's time, when the canvas has freed up some. Graz, for example. Vail Bloom, who I think is rather an alluring presence but needs a mentor like Jill in her life. I'd even be open to Thad Luckinbill returning -- even though I think JT is the most pointless character on the planet.

But unless Amelia Heinle wakes the heck up, she needs to go because her Victoria is insufferable -- and insufferably boring. Christel Khalil is a rotten actress who thinks acting = playing herself. I can't believe a married woman is playing such an insipid, babyish role. I've seen grittier work on the Disney channel. In fact, that might be a good place to look for the next Lily. Those Disney kids are dying to play more adult stuff. Miley Virus said she wants to win an oscar in five year's time. For reals!

As for Colleen, no offence to Tammin but a grave injustice was done against Adrianne Leon, in my view, and that needs to be made right. By bringing that fiery sexpot back.

I noticed the flip flops. I thought they were appropriate.

I live in a warm place, but I never wear flipflops. For me it is Birkenstocks or Tevas. But I understand the flipflops for a young man like that at a summer beach party.

But your comment makes me smile, since you nearly vomited at Beemers flip flops months ago.

The college kids wear nothing else to class where I live.

I look at Chloe and Billy like Jill and Jack. They will be life long sparring partners and perhaps occasional lovers, forever tied together with this baby. Right now it doesn't make much sense for them to be together when he obviously doesn't really want her. Maybe he'll miss her if he doesn't have her, but they can be spending their time in much hotter more torrid love affairs. I am really excited to see if they pair Chloe up with

having great chemistry.

lmao!!! But I so agree, today would have been perfect if it wasn't for having to bare through that silliness. I kept forgetting they were a part of today's episode while watching but then the scenes would come back. But I loved loved loved todaty's shows otherwise

Awesome picture DeeDee! :lol:

Me too and each time it was like getting hit with a bucket of cold water. Other than that today's show was greatness. That Jack/Billy confrontation was awesome. PB and Billy Miller both brought it.

Nina knows something isn't right with Cane's story. And we are getting the first hints of where this story is headed with the flashbacks of P3.

    • 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!
