I know Michael abandoned them. That has been his motivation for cleaning up after Kevin and Gloria for years. Again though, the abandonment is not my big issue with bringing Philip III back from the dead after two decades.

I never liked Cane being the actual Philip III and how LML tried to minimize Philip III, Nina and Philip IV in the Chancellor family. I think that all should have been fixed. I just don't see the big need to have changed such a pivotal moment as Philip III's death just to do so and because MAB likes Thom Bierdz. Nobody was expecting or asking for Philip III to be brought back from the dead. Maybe it will be a great story, but it will take great writing to sell it.

Welcome phamie. I just started posting a short time ago also after lurking for some time.

They have been playing Michael's guilt for five years now. It made sense to expain so much about Michael, but frankly I am tired of Michael's guilt being played as the reason he continuously is compelled to cover for Kevin and Gloria to the point that he risks his own family.

I agree. And Michael has done nothing but make amends to Kevin and Gloria for years. Not so much with Philip III. I wonder how they will rationalize him not being a part of his son's life. I hope once they get past the joy of his return, we will see anger and resentment from those he left also.

Yes, MAB likes Thom... but that's not the primary reason for what she's done. She did this mainly because Bill Bell stated many times that killing off Phillip III was his greatest regret in the entire history of the show. I never ASKED for him to be brought back from the dead, becuase I dared not DREAM it would happen. It was something I and many fans LOVE and are EXTREMELY excited about... we just always thought it was a pipe dream, so we never tried to lobby for it. And I agree... it's going to take some good writing to sell it. But it's also going to take some MAJOR acting to sell it, too... and Bierdz/Cooper/Walton/Cast can sell turds to the tidybowl man, make no mistake.

So I just watched earlier...

I want to like Billy merely because of BM, and the writers are making that very difficult especially after today..At least EH rocked it today..Her line delivery sort of reminds me of MS, the character in general has shades of Phyliss.

I say this everytime I post, but who cares...I love MJ. She's batshit crazy but I love it. My favorite psycho from recent memory hands down. SH has brought her A-game.

I wish I could care that Victoria's in the hospital again but I don't.

Pharmie, welcome to the board... and don't be shy or afraid. I know we cna get vicious at times, but it's more like sisters bitching at each other, at least for me, I love spirited discussion and I suppose I'm a frustrated debater, as I love to argue my position and opinions. I actually LOVE the dark lighting on Y&R, I guess for me, it lends a sense of "elegance". The original producer John Conboy, was the one who started it, he felt that if the background sets were darkly lit, it would focus more attention on the the actors' faces, and the viewer would be able to be more emotionally "sucked in" to the story. I love the details... the actors, the production, the background music, I just enjoy it all. For me, at least... it doens't cut down on my enjoyment of the show at all... SPOILERS on the other hand... I feel are daytime's biggest enemy.

      Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

      Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward

      The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories.

      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.

      As The World Turns Discussion Thread

      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!
