Even if it is speculation, it worked once very well (Abbotts) and then in the late90s, to a certain extent -- the Dennisons. This isn't a new soap device. Frankly, I don't think the Newmans are going to be dimished (Nick, Adam, Victoria, Abby). The rivalry with the Abbotts is still strong. Jill can be tied back to Abbotts. As I said on an early post, her character was killed with the P3 disaster.

I have to give Rauch a hand. more white characters. Less black ones. CKLily will blend in so well with the rest of the white cast. that black viewers going to ask where are the black people are at.

I like JT but his new family isn't going to bring in the ratings like they hope. As long as it's not a balance with the rest of the cast memebers. They brought in the latin & just took them away. Black will be seen once a year. & Lily under CK under this whole white cast is going to become a problem for the show. She doesn't stand out & she just blends in.

But didn't a few years ago they was going ot give JT a younger brother. or that was just viewers wishing for something more for the JT character. Then being Bortoria handbag.

Even if this turns out to be just fan fiction, the saddest thing of all is that it wouldn't surprise me. These writers think we like surprises every few months when in fact we hate them, especially because they're all unwelcome.

I remember a few months ago when someone told us MAB wanted to kill off Colleen in a drowning accident after Victor got her fired, and then have her heart be given to Victor (and all of this seven months after her father drowned). So yeah, nothing else can surprise as. It can only get worse.

She is one of the people that have been pushing these type of ideas. That whole Colleen drowning thing was revealed to us MONTHS before it happened (which nobody could have known), so this might just be Hogan. Of course, after he heard our reaction "that's stupid, something we'd never do" he went ahead and did it anyway, just for the purpose of surprising us.

Why? They need to use what they have.

They truly deserve the name IIC

Unless Y&R does like Days did with Jack(who's organs and whatnot were donated), then yeah I agree, but then again, we also saw Jesse on AMC in heaven too, so I doubt something like this would stop them if they ever want to bring her back

i don't believe this rumor. They mentioned JT's parents being this simple, loving married family for over 30 years or something, when Victoria and Nick were talking. Nobody even cares about JT except when his clothes are off. Thank God JT and fake-toria are both leaving for New York. Take the jet and let Victoria come back played by SOMEBODY who can act and leave JT in New York.

I'm not buying into this,but then again,stranger things have been happening.

The difference between adding to JT's family and what happened with Paul and Jack was that they were relatively new characters,so it was easy to buy into their families appearing.

In the case of the Williams,the show was expanding to 1 hr,so there was room and a need for new characters.

With the Abbotts,it tied in with the phase out of the Brooks/Fosters.

JT,however has been around for 10 years,so it would be more jarring for never mentioned relatives to arrive.

Have JT's parents ever appeared on the show?

How has their absence been explained at weddings,births etc?

I don't know why characters like this aren't cast for these events.Surely,there are plenty of middle aged actors who would be happy to come in a few days a year to be someone's parent.

I don't see how. If anything, that should have given her character years of material. Her character was killed when they decided to make her nasty and Katherine the saint of Genoa City. And when they wanted us to LAUGH at her losing everything and going to work filing nails.

If the rivalry with the Abbotts and Newmans involves shallow, boring Billy and the equally vapid Newman brats, then I don't think it's going strong. And all the Newman kids have been seriously damaged by bad writing and at times even worse acting.

I care about JT.

      Good Morning, this is still funny to me but I totally enjoyed what makes up "DemetriKane" so unnecessary, who cares?!!! Glad you like the Emma Peel derivative story.

      Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.
