I love Fiona H, but she's doing the OLTL reunion so I don't get why have her do the GL reunion so soon.. when her spot on this could have been filled with Aubrey D (the only good Marina) or Jean Carol (who was way better as head of the Cooper family than Justin Deas was).

I thought it was going to be Lisa Brown too. 

 

Jean Carol would've been great too and she could've canceled out Fiona who is doing the OLTL reunion. 

 

I thought it was going to be Morgan Englund/Melissa Hayden/Nia Long/Jocelyn Seagrave/Monti Sharp too. But I think it might be harder to get Nia to do it for some reason I feel. I also thought it could've been a Bauer family reunion with Peter Simon, Ellen Parker, Rachel Miner, Michael O'Leary and Rick Hearst.

Frankly, I don't think PS likes anyone, lol. 

 

But, I think his resistance had more to do with the fact that an Ed/Nola union just seemed so incongruous.  And it was.  I mean, yes, I am a Quint/Nola fan, but not to the degree that I would be opposed to seeing Nola (or Quint) with anyone else.  (Provided, it made sense.  Which, IMO, Ed/Nola did not.)

I think Nola thought more of Ed as an annoying stuffy big brother, but weirder things happened. I do think that Ed and Nadine could have been fun or when they had Selena living over the Bauer garage..tho it wasnt Simon playing him at that time.  I much prefer Nola/Ed then Nola/Buzzard but...

Ed and Nola could have been fun but not in a romantic sense, IMO. I can't ever imagine that. LOL. Nola was essentially swapped out with Selena. I still wish Drew were Stacy Chamberlain. I love me some Lisa Brown but I really never saw her have any chemistry with any of her leading men (or planned to be leading men), IMO, except Tylo. She and Deas were DOA. I did like Brown with Tom Wiggin on ATWT. A better cast/written J and Drew being Stacy would have helped tremendously. It all writes itself. But once the Buzz thing faded, they lost interest and Brown saw the writing on the wall, clearly. They had no idea what to do with her. Maureen, Nadine, Nola, Selena ... they were all swapped out with each other.

Highly doubtful. It's very difficult to fire state employees here in Jersey. Bottom line is she is still listed on the state payroll for the first quarter of 2020. Since there are five commissioners, she's likely chief of staff specifically for Commissioner Gordon.

I guess we’re no longer commenting on The Locher Room’s aired episodes. LOL. Did anyone watch the Doris/Ashlee/Daisy/Cyrus/Natalia show?  I’m struggling through the bad audio (as always) again.  I’m asking myself why Leccia is on again.  Where’s Grady?

    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
