People still ask Joan Van Ark about her time as Real!Gloria.

This was around the time you left another role you originated, Gloria Fisher-Abbott, on The Young and the Restless. Ironically, Ted Shackelford was later cast as Gloria’s husband.

I loved Gloria, but I just felt like they were going in another direction with the character. I wanted her to be Anna Nicole Smith, Goldie Hawn and Drea de Matteo all rolled into one. But (the producers) were taking her to Joan Collins-shoulder-pads-via-bitch.

I’m spoiled because of Knots Landing, where I had the blessing and joy of collaboration. We all got to contribute and collaborate (on the script). In daytime, there’s no such thing. (Y&R’s producers) are wonderful, but it’s more or less their way or the highway. I felt like a visitor (on Y&R). It’s a nice place to visit but I didn’t want to live there.

I loved my sons on the show (actors Christian LeBlanc and Greg Rikaart). The original idea for me was to go in and do a story arc—a short burst of character—and then I’m outta there. I’d love to go in as a different character and screw up Ted and Gloria (now played by actress Judith Chapman). (Laughs.)

Gloria was better as white trash dressing like Britney Spears' Nan in the trailer park. I knew something was wrong when she started wearing those business suits after she married John. I still say JVA would've done more with the role than Chapman.

JVA did more with Gloria in a year than Chapman has in 5.

i really liked JVA as gloria, chapman she is completely miscasted as gloria. saying that there is a lot if miscasted actor/actress on this show.

this show really doesn't have a clue how to write for it's teen scene they should really look at the british and aussi soaps for ideas.

also this show doesn't got a clue have to write for it core audience women. do they really think the females viewers likes seeing women being degraded weaken and abused by the men on the show.

MAB should be ashamed of herself for what she as done to the women on the show is and I am blaming her she is the one who keeps going on and on how this is her vision.

also i sick of the freakin art storylines just because MAB loves art doesn't mean she has to keeping writing stupid art storylines and nobody likes them.

Especially when characters in their 30's are playing with Ouija boards.

Groan and moan.

It looks like Cassie will be back again to steer someone "in the right direction." Shick propping, here we come.

There is another rumor that

Adam commits suicide when Sharon leaves him. If this happens I guess it will be a "shock" and Adam isn't actually dead, it's all faked. Yawn.

JVA's trashy Gloria was an interesting addition to Y&R, whereas JC's Gloria was written as Brenda Dickson's Jill. If John Abbott had to die, Jill should be his widow fighting his children. All of the sudden Jill was busy having lunch with "Mother", while Gloria was Eighties Jill 2.0.

LOL.

They write this show specifically for people who hate the show.

They're going to regret this in the long run.

When I read this what comes to mind is Sharon sex must be the shitznit.

I had to LOL at those spoilers there. Especially that one about

Adam

, I can see such a "trauma" for Sharon for her to sleep with Nick, Jack, JT, Billy, Victor, and Tucker! A seven-way who's the daddy story!!

I also happened to come across a very, very spoilerish picture of Lauren's story! Pictured below are Lauren and

You left out Cane. Imagine the trauma for Lily when she learns Sharon is carrying his child. Fortunately, everything is fine when Sharon agrees to name the little boy Drew. Cassie's spirit reappears and, as a nod to our old friend, wears a strange hat. Devon asks Cassie's ghost if Tyra really was the new Dru, and Cassie simply says, "F*ck that noise," and disappears.

The stress of having another newborn baby causes Sharon to begin stealing from the local IHOP. Fortunately, she gets inspiration from that acronym and gives the 19 year old manager the ride of his life in exchange for not being shopped to the cops.

Imagine her horror when the manager knocks on Jack Abbott's door later that day.

"Dad...it's me, Kyle!"

Perfect set. IHOP is lit in the Paul Rauch vein. Especially when you're coming home from the bars and trying to get that fourthmeal.

You also forgot the part where Katherine asks Sharon if she WANTS a DNA Test,
