Well, of course my opinion matters to myself. It's why I change the channel if I don't like what I see. LOL!

Which is why (so Toups doesn't come after me with a chainsaw) I didn't change the channel during the Phillip/Chance/Nina scene today. Because I liked it. :)

I like this new Ashley, but I wonder how long will it take until she breaks down again because we all know it will happen once she learns the real paternity of Faith. It's stupid how all these women need to be victimized all the time.

I found there was much to admire on Wednesday actually:

- I liked seeing P3 and Nina, and I liked that we finally got a hint of some of the complexity of the Chance resentment.

- I liked that Chance had a backbone with Chloe. I also liked seeing him in workout gear, LOL.

- I thought Bergman did a great job..."Am I being fired?"

- Emily seems more and more interesting, and I liked her interaction with Bergman and Davidson

- The show is moving RESOLUTELY to business storylines, so I am intrigued by Kay taking Chancellor public

- There is a promise for Neil to be in the thick of this, and he was the only watchable part of the Winters for me yesterday. I cannot watch Lily-Cane, and I'm irritated by how facilely they resolved Devon's romantic crisis OFF CAMERA

Beyond the Winters/Cane, I find myself a little perplexed by why Kay suddenly needs to "make amends". And I am groaning that her lost offspring is coming back into the mix. The show needed to take a break from that for a while.

I wonder if Katherine taking the company public means she will lose Chancellor via some sort of takeover or other collapse (she is a woman, after all).

I do like the brief focus on Chance and his parents. I wish Chloe weren't involved, as I often get the feeling this is all about her (and EH tends to get more of the focus in the soap magazine piece about these episodes). I like EH and I like Chloe a lot more when she isn't in the needy stalker role but I'm sorry they didn't do more with the Phillip/Nina/Chance relationships outside of her.

I worry about the same. At least they explicitly addressed Jack's Jabot debacle...implying it would be avoided. Clearly, Kay having an undivided 51% or even 60%, or limiting the public shares to non-voting stock, would all be fixes. They acknowledged the economy, but I find the property of an IPO in this climate quite implausible.

My fear is that this will be used to bring Kay's lost child back into the fold...and this won't be a nice person.

So are you expecting someone to take over Chancellor and then we find out that this is her long lost child and they are going to ruin her business out of revenge for being given away at birth?

I'd hate to see that, although I would hope this might throw her and Jill together in a positive way, as they fight to save the company. Then again, if it's a man, then he might win Jill over and get her to work with him against Katherine.

All of this could be a very interesting, long storyline...if it was written by someone like Harding Lemay. With Sheffer and Rauch, it scares me.

Yes, you offer a compelling rationale for why Kay wouldn't let this rest. And, for the show, it makes some sense that they'd want to get this person in place before Jeanne becomes too infirm to launch the story.

      Elements of it were silly, but it was a small price to pay to get Zas back. I should say there's a difference between in town and out of town returns. It's understandable for Roger to skulk around town in a bad wig and clown suit when he's in Springfield and running the risk of bumping in to people he knows.  Taking us out of town to find someone always has a short shelf life. Then it usually becomes about another character knowing X is alive but determined to keep them out of Springfield. Like Alan discovering Amish Reva. I don't know how long it went on, but it was probably twice as long as necessary.

      Elizabeth Dennehy complained on the Locher Room about how ridiculous so much of the writing was for Roger's return. She laughed at so much of Roger's antics and how it was hard for her to take them seriously. Probably another reason she was fired as she didn't play the game.

      Only thing I enjoyed was Abby / Olivia, etc., and the addiction storyline. Otherwise, I could do without the season.

      Roger's return storyline may have been silly but Roger's return was what lead to GL's last golden era.  It was the combination of Roger's return and Robert Calhoun becoming EP that got GL to finally hit it's stride after some really bad years. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run didn't reflect the quality of the show.

      He also gave some of the best episodes, like the episodes surrounding Doug's death. The problem with Days was that Ron had a horrible vision from he top. I don't feel the same for MVJ and nothing that has happened in all these months suggests she doesn't have a handle on the show. Now if it becomes an issue I'll acknowledge it, but I'm not seeing it so far.

      Jean Hackney was awful and that lead to Ben's exit story which sucked. I liked Ben/Val together. Val's love for Ben was that of a grown woman moving on with her life and Ben's love for Val made him willingly decide to raise another man's children as his own.

      It wasn't just a GL thing, it was an 80s thing. Opulent party scenes on soaps were very big back then. Even in regular episodes where people are just going to dinner they're dressed up like they're going to see royalty.

      I'm pretty sure he was. But point taken. GL really had a thing for masked and costumed balls/parties in the '80's. Everyone looks fabulous, but those poor costume designers.
