That clip above just makes my loins ache for Dru to come back. Yes. Ache. i just want them to get VR, PB, MS and KSJ all in one room and sing kumbaya and a nice slow Golden Girls group hug so Dru can climb back up that cliff and roar back.

Et tu Mark!? Clem still gets slack and Thommy gets none??

Ditto. However, I bought the story. I really did. Nothing was brushed over really. I just feel like the emotional connection is missing though. I'm not sure if it's the acting or the writing, or if the writers are building up to it. It shouldn't be a sugary reunion, but I hope eventually we get more emotion. Where is Casiello? Thom Bierdz sounds older than he is It's very grating. But with that cranky bastard Paul Raunch, I'm sure he can whip something good out of him eventually. So I'll give him a month. I loved the scene where Katherine, Jill, and Nina let him have it. That was good.

BTW, I'm a Goddard fan again. For as much flack as that man gets, at least he tries to emote in his scenes, and he plays pathos very well. Plus, I'm loving the look. Lily is an IDIOT to leave him over this.

P.S. I like Clementine Ford now. In more ways, it's the wardrobe that brings her down. Other than that, she's pretty much on par with Ash Bash, which isn't saying much at all. But, she's definitely improved, and slowed down her line delivery.

The thing about Bierdz, he seems like a worse sleepwalker than Amelia Heinle. It's not like he's even trying, but then again, he did say he didn't come back to act. So really, when he's not trying, and he's up against Tricia Cast, Jess Walton, and Jeanne Cooper, who are all trying to save this inane and ridiculous plot, it makes everything more ridiculous and everything just falls flat. Unlike the other three, Bierdz is the center piece of this storyline, and he's NOT delivering.

Clementine doesn't have much to her resume and this is her first soap gig. Bierdz has already acted on a soap, and he's already been up against these three fabulous women. So, the fact that he doesn't seem to care about his acting, makes it all seem worse. I can't say he did anything right in Monday's episode, he was just really bad, IMO.

He knew what was expected of him, he couldn't have tried harder and attended an acting class so he could at least try to keep up with his superior co-stars?

IA Roxy - and for your awesomeness I give you a sip of my mojito! let's give Bierdz a little timne to get used to the waters before we eat him up. As for Cane, let's get him away from Lily as quick as possible so he can go to the loving arms of Mary Jane...perhaps once her identity is revealed as Patty they can be Catty!! LOL!

Alvin, I think he does care. I really do. It's really intimidating working opposite those three powerhouses. BTW, Billy PISSED me off on Monday, I was actually cheering on Cane. I also like that Cane and Chloe were forming somewhat of a bond. Now that Cane is revealed, and his romance with Lily is over (I HOPE), I wouldn't mind Goddard acting opposite other actors. Phyllis/Cane!

    • 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!
