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?

    • First, let me say I love reading all of your takes and thoughts. They always provide a different point of view... a breath of fresh air... in this sometimes stuffy topic.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.   
    • I always get the vibe that Martin/Smitty have an emotional abusive relationship set up... but I doubt the show will really go there with that element given that Martin is a Dupree (and we can't have the Duprees be portrayed in a negative light), and because it's a gay male relationship.   Even though abuse in the physical or emotional sense is a huge thing in a lot of gay and lesbian relationships. The Ashley/Naomi scene reads off to me for one reason....  Ashley was talking about the new scandal without any sort of mention and/or subtext.. considering she knew both Silk Press Sheila and Eva.  I'm not sure if the writers have forgotten, if Jen Jacobs isn't able to play subtext, or what.   It's just apparent the writers do not know how to write a young white millennial couple.. and perhaps they need to get a younger white script writer to be on staff... or let the actors play around with the lines to make them more natural/realistic.
    • This is as good a time as any to point out that the 90 minute show was, what I like to call  "cockamamie idea" of Fred Silverman, head of NBC Daytime Programming. He did so well at ABC & CBS but not so NBC. We learned this from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay, 2006, can be found on YouTube, audio only. Now, to be clear, Rauch was completely behind it. Only Lemay fought against it & eventually quit over it.   
    • She was so wonderful. Glad your handle has been a tribute to her.
    • Hopefully Alan has learned to not interrupt or interject with pointless information while someone is in the middle of telling a story. I almost think it would be better if Alan was a producer behind the scenes.. and he just had the actors on screen talking and asking one another questions.  Those interviews tend to work better.
    • It was only recently announced that Denise Alexander passed away on March 5, 2025. She was my all time favorite actress and role model. She will be dearly missed.  Denise Alexander, ‘General Hospital' and ‘Days of Our Lives' Actress, Dies at 85
    • Hopefully Alan will actually read the book beforehand.

    • Am I the only one who immediately thinks of this every time someone mentions Smitty?
