I know you qualified the "crassness", but I'm still AGHAST at that interpretation. The problem is, OF COURSE any son or daughter, from any background, is going to view this abandonment in that way.

Drama!

I agree, but my only problem with that is unless we see him in Iraq, or unless his army buddies come to town, I'm not sure what the actual story is. He could have been discharged dishonorably for it, and Phillip and Nina could help him fight it. But it would involve a lot of day players, and I'm not sure where you go with the story unless you actually show the army. And no daytime show has the budget to actually show the U.S. Army or Army scenes.

So, um, why did Philip III decide to show himself now, after wanting everyone to believe he was dead? Wouldn't it have made sense to just let Cane go down, if this was Phillip III's excuse all these years for pulling such a RIDICULOUS and nonsensical stunt?

And funny how he shows up just as Nina is there to call Cane out on the frozen blood sample.

So, he abandoned his family all these years because he wanted to be free to screw other men, but now is the perfect time to return? Eh, OK...

And Nina mentioned calling the cops, it would be totally unbelievable if charges for fraud and identity theft weren't brought AGAINST BOTH Cane and Phillip III. But then again, since you have to excuse all logic for this storyline to make sense, I guess we should forget about that.

Oh, I totally agree it's an awful interpretation. But if done correctly, it's a whole different take on a

storyline. Because I understand WHY P4 is homophobic in this case. I see his side, and it's not just about ignorant bigotry.

It's powerful stuff, and I hope that's where it goes. Because it provides a very dramatic jumping off point for father and son to have years of issues.

That's how I see it playing out. This is more about Philip IV played by the hot young Johnny Driscoll than Nina and Philip III in the long run. In with the new, out with the old.

I also noticed that Thom Bierdz was not listed under the contract players today. He was listed under the recurring actors. I wonder why that is if he is under contract.

And just because I have to ask. Why is it that the writers found it necessary to bring Katherine's waitress friend to the July 4th party, yet find it unnecessary to show Lauren even once visiting Summer in the hospital?

I think the problem is they have had so many Katherine health crises, now that they have the one which should be epic, viewers may just shrug. I wish they hadn't had the one a few days ago, especially since the only purpose, besides foreshadowing, was to remind us once again of what a bad person Jill is supposed to be.

I was shocked to see Phillip reveal himself today as well. I didnt get why he did so and just came out so nonchalantly as if it were no big deal. He better have a damn good explanation for not only why he faked his death but why after all these years that he inserted Cane into everyone's lives

Good acting from Jess Walton but I didnt feel a damn thing for Jill. She deserves the hurt and misery she's getting

Are we actually supposed to feel for Billy and Mac? I was disgusted by both of them today. I was liking her but they turned her into a tramp for the show's biggest male slut

It's Sonny Corinthos Syndrome. Too many shoot-outs, and you just stop caring. I keep saying, you bang a drum long enough, people just get used to the sound, and it applies here too. Too many health crises, and people just get bored and don't care.

      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!
