I still think the easiest thing to do without jumping through all the hoops of getting rid of Katherine's dreams, Chloe's DNA test, and the rest of the absurdities is to say that Jill gave birth to Cane, the babies were switched, and, btw, Phillip happens to be alive in Australia where he moved after faking his death and found out about the baby switch.

It gives Jill three men to call her son, gets everyone in place quickly, and then can tell a story that should be told with these characters.

Unfortunately, MAB is too busy constantly trying to undo old stories that she thinks getting characters into place for a story IS a story. She really needs to start looking forward instead of back.

You may be right. The problem is that there is ANIMUS toward Cane. Many people CANNOT TOLERATE that he might have a DNA link to Jill/Kay. Thus, many viewers will tolerate a significant undoing of this DNA link. Other than that, your scenario can still work out. Cane can still be one of Jill's "sons", even if he has no DNA tie.

Yup. She's saying the work has been well done :).

Eileen is also FIT FIT FIT. That's part of her story.

:lol: Yeah, I'm not one who thinks people should have elective surgery just to look younger, but if you are going to do it, I say go with Susan Lucci's surgeon and not Hunter Tylo's, that is for darn sure.

As far as being fit goes, I'm sure ED is, but she's also looked unnaturally skinny for most of her career. I don't find it attractive at all, although ED is a beautiful women.

I think part of the reason viewers wanted Jill not to be Kay's daughter is because this was supposed to give them more story, or move the characters in more interesting directions. Since it hasn't, at least not yet, I wonder how many viewers are satisfied with the rewrite of the rewrite.

I think they still could have had individual lives even as mother and daughter.

I agree that this wasn't done to create more story, but at the time people said that the two of them being related had hampered story for them, and now more could happen. At the time many were thrilled because this was supposed to be righting what was seen as a great wrong, but now I wonder if it's seen as being such a great idea.

Happy birthday to Eileen!

Anyone else see this weeks promos regarding the Chancellor family after Y&R? Maybe it was during B&B, I saw a quick glance, because I don't watch B&B and I still had the TV on. Anyway,

Anyone know when this is supposed to air? Not even sure if it's a spoiler since it was broadcast right on CBS Daytime lol

    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
