its been abuz for some time now that they were penning an exit.

im sure it has to do with her contract. most shows wont allow actors to work past the contraxt date unless they agree to a one month type thing to finish talks.

what i really know is.... if they did pen an exit and its been filmed, when will it air? and are contract talks done? forever?

Probably, but it seems like wealth creates a need for more wealth.Not that I have any experience with this problem first hand. :lol: It probably takes a lot of money to maintain the lifestyle she is accustomed to though, I would think.

It was a lovely post, pity it hasn't been noticed...

P. S. cara mia, if you've started watching AMC again, post in those daily threads! I'd love to see your views and many AMC will enjoy your posts! I'm sure!

Well, when someone writes a post that long, even I find myself being lazy and not reading the entire thing...

I hope we're all wrong and they'll make a deal, even if it takes months.

I wish MAB would get a clue and cut the people fans don't like.

Gloria and Jeff-only a few people like these two. This may be a Bloom/Sonny thing because I heard they made LML hire Shakleford back after she killed off his character.

Tyra and Ana- these characters should have never been brought back when they went off to that music school. TPTB make these excuses to keep this woman on this show.

On to the younger characters...

Noah, Abby, and Eden-write them as their own characters instead of making them into the glo by jabot kids. They're not Billy, Brittney, and Mac.

The Scoobies-some of these characters are in their 30s, stop having them act like teenagers!

The way she's written is unlike how HT Victoria was but the way she acts in the role is discouraging. She's still missing that UMMMPPHHH. It's just a very incomplete Victoria to me. She's an ok actress I can see her playing a more tranquil, laidback humble character without feeling as if something is missing. It's probably not the best of compliments to her as an actress to type cast but that's how I see it. She's an ok actress she's just not Victoria

As an actor, you're supposed to bring life into the littlest of scenes you get. The easy stuff they've given Amelia Heinle, and she still hasn't delivered and almost SLEEPWALKS through her scenes. She might have been good in other soap roles, but she LACKS the necessary confidence to play Victoria Newman, she just isn't consistent and doesn't give her all to her work. The writing for the character is bad yes, but Amelia does NOTHING to turn the crap writing into gold, as many other actors on this show and other shows have done with crap writing.

Okay Mary Jane fans...here are the scenes where her divorce from Jack are finalized. I think I have some more scenes with her, but I'll have to look. There's so little Patty online which is a shame.

Patty and Jack Divorce Part One

If you look in my videos you will find part two and three.

Thanks for posting Chris B! :)

I want Jeff gone...not Gloria. I agree, though, that he may be sort of "CBS-imposed"...retained because he is a good actor, and to keep the network happy.

Noah should stay and get a real story. Eden should go and Abby should be recast.

The Scoobies...I like 'em, but I also am getting tired of "capers". I'm hopeful we'll move beyond capers. I'm hoping Amber comes face to face with the son she left behind, and has to deal with being a mom to an incorrigible young man (Noah's age is what I'd make him). I'd like Little Eric/Deacon to be the romantic interest for a recast Abby.

I love Jana, but I want the brain tumor to take her...so that Kevin can be free.

The lack of "ummpphh" is the same problem with Mac (character never had any) and Lily (character never developed any). But Victoria MUST have "ummpphh"...she is a NEWMAN, and most like Victor.

I'd send Vikki/JT to Italy (save some $$), rest the character, and bring back HT as Viki when the B&B contract is done.

Awesome video. I'd love to see that full episode (even though bits of it are online).

How long after this did Patty actually leave town? I'd LOVE to see her final episode, so I can get a better handle on the tone with which she left.

That would be interesting to see, but even if she left at peace with Jack I still wouldn't find her coming back pissed and obsessed unrealistic. Just because you think you've put a traumatic situation or grudge behind you, that doesn't mean it can't come back full force. Especially, if life disappoints you down the road or you are the type of person who blames other people for the state your life is in. The Patty's of the world are never really in control of their lives and that's why they never really get over the bad stuff (Sheila is like this and old school Phyllis to a lesser degree).

I'm sorry, but why the hell is Gloria needed on this show? They obviously HAVE NO IDEA what to do with her, and if her role is simply comedic relief, then that's a waste of time and money. If they must "pare down" then Gloria is one of those characters that can and should be written out. She brings nothing to the show and they seemingly don't know what to do with her, hence lumping her and Jeffrey into this Jill storyline, which is played for laughs anyway.

I'm tired of the directionless and filler characters on this show, especially when real vets are being let go or asked to take paycuts.

    • Thank you for the info about SFT related to EON. I thought about adding SFT to my watch list, but I don't know if it's the kind of soap for me. I know very little about it except for a few of the actors and that it was on two different networks. I also know based on this board or somewhere else that the two Lizas both died young from cancer. Warms my heart to see so many EON people on SFT because they are such good performers and I wish they had been moved to other shows. Perhaps, they were and I'm just not aware of it.
    • There was a few times when Silk Press Sheila came into her apartment after going grocery shopping.. she could have been unloading her items as she talked to Eva or Ted and saw a few of the products on the counter that are P & G products.
    • I enjoyed today's show. I liked seeing Mona again and her confronting both Eva and Leslie. I did feel for Eva, especially at the end of their confrontation, when Mona said "Good", when Eva mentioning losing everybody she cared about. Though, I can understand Mona's anger and Leslie deserved every bit of her ire. Both Leslie/Eva betrayed her especially Leslie. Mona put her both her professional and personal relationships with the Duprees on the line and what Leslie/Eva did put her in an awkward position. Speaking of Leslie she continues to act trifling and caring only about herself and her needs. At this point, it only seems like she cares about herself and wanting Ted for herself. I'm not even sure how if her feelings for Mona were even sincere, though she called out about people turning against her after Mona left. I have yet to see Leslie really display that she sincerely cares about anyone, and I do think that needs to change at some point. I enjoyed Nicole and her scenes today with Leslie/her children. I also like that Martin took a more sensible approach regarding how the family should handle Eva. He did straight up acknowledge she was his sister, and it seemed like he was opened to up to accepting her. I think he will be among the first in the family to soften towards/accept her. And in spite of the way she was introduced into their lives, he will end up being happy to have two little sisters. I wonder again about Kat/Eva being twins/Eva being Nicole, when Martin/Kat brought up them being the same age and Kat even used the word "twins" in disbelief, when Martin suggested they shared a connection from the beginning.
    • LOL! They did show a Pantene and Dawn commercial today. Image them incorporating those into the show. 
    • He joined Julian in Bermuda when he getting a divorce from Ivy. And, was the one who tricked Theresa and Julian in to believing that they had gotten married there. That would be nice.  That was such a good book, and it was too bad that the show retconned it so much. I still have my copy somewhere.
    • Instead of Febreze, Eva pulled a few tissues of Puffs and cried into them. Hayley comes in with a pack of Always and is like "Well, Bill turns out I'm not pregnant." Andre and Derek sharing a bottle of Pepto after eating Ashley's cooking. Vernon and Anita drinking up their Metamucil. 
    •   I liked the actress who played Tina. She was not the typical soap hire. I hadn't thought of her in many years until I saw a Spauldingfield video of her. It makes sense if they were planning to make her Frank's daughter as she was tied to the Coopers and nothing else was done with her beyond singing and the relationship with Marcus that Rauch never cared about. David was hurt by Monti Sharp leaving the role. I don't blame Monti for leaving, as he was getting less and less to do, but Russell Curry was a very generic actor was too old for the part. Yes, black don't crack, but he was nearly 40. When David returns at the end of the decade they cast an actor who was a little too young, which just shows how little interest the show had in the character or black characters in general (and random recasting would return with the Boudreauxs). Marcus is a character who got a lot of buzz early on and then the show lost interest (again).  Anyway, if you stay watching, be warned that the Hart/Dinah/Roger stuff gets worse and worse. Luckily you don't have the same lengthy ties to the show so it may be OK for you. It made me feel a bit sick at the time. Thanks for giving more info. And to @DeeVee and @P.J. as well. I suppose there were tiers of people who were seen as disposable, and Eve was shielded for a time due to that tier. Once they were clearly getting rid of characters like Justin or Amanda, then she was also on that list (I know she left before they did but it wasn't that long before). Characters like Eve, quiet, able to be used in many avenues, are important for community, or they should be, although she had clearly reached a natural end. The problem is no one really replaced her - all the characters who were likely seen as dull were shipped out from 83-85, and we were left with an unbalanced canvas (and characters who were meant to be exciting but were still dull, like Calla, Simon, et al).

    • I just find her obnoxious and I need somebody to start checking her (other than Bill) without couching it in you’re so strong and wonderful and Bill did you so wrong. Even Anita pulls punches with her. Her personality would definitely rub some people the wrong way and I hope once the canvas evolves beyond Dupreeland, she gets some adversaries who aren’t villains or 90-lb. weaklings like Haley.
    • Wow.... Anita and Dani are the ultimate symbol of mean girls.   I hate to tell this to Dani... but Eva's ability to do hair is a much more coveted job and skill than Dani's modeling.   I doubt Dani could cut it if she lost her money and was truly forced to start over from square 1.
