She has to work it into the show's timeline, not the real-world timeline. Which means sometime around when Colby was conceived. Which happened a few months after Broderick left the show the last time around.

If she doesn't do it this way then I'll join everyone else in blasting her. But we don't know yet.

As for your concern for everything making sense I'm sure you would be singing LB's praises if she came up with a way to make Zach not Gabrielle's father, no matter how illogical it was.

I'm beginning to think Khan is really the jealous Megan McTavish who would do anything to see Lorraine Broderick fail. :lol:

You did have that really dark storyline idea concerning Randi and how she ends up in a coma after going undercover as a prostitute and having Liza and Frankie hook up. :lol:

You've been caught, Megan. As Erica would say, "BOOM!"

And sometimes you have to work with what TPTB mandate you have to work with. I know through the grapevine that LB had reservations about the aformentioned Erica baby-knapping (let alone Maria's boinking Dimitri)... yet I still think she made some great drama out of it... And that era of the show looks like Xanadu compared to practically everything that followed it up until this year.

If you think I'll name some hard-to-get scribe, such as Claire Labine or Nancy Curlee, then you're nucking futs. I just want(ed) someone who's actually good!

Those two were so not what I had in mind.

But Zach being the father was/is illogical in and of itself! Not to mention, a major assault on his character, as well as Bianca's, and even Kendall's (and good God, if I'm defending Kendall, then you know the story made no sense).

Sure, I'm "dark" like Megan, but I'd like to think I'm way more entertaining. LOL!

"The true grist of whether that your writing is good or not is how many people are tuning in to watch it. Besides, three weeks after the Emmys are over, nobody remembers who won, anyway."

Says a "steaming" Megan McTavish, just weeks after Lorraine picked up her third consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Writing Team in 1998.

Frankly, I hate that logic. "A was/is so bad, it makes B look awesome...At least what C and D did to those two made more sense than what E and F are doing...Megan McTavish was never as bad as [fill in successor's name here]..." I don't care if the years and storylines following Maddie's kidnapping were horrible by comparison. They're all horrible; and I refuse to get all misty-eyed for other, less sucky regimes b/c the show is still mired in ish!

I guess my question would be -- is it worth it? Tad is such a depleted character and I don't think yet another child is going to make a difference. They could have had him bond with Damon even without Damon being his biological son. You don't have to make someone a blood relative to existing characters to get viewers to care about them. Tad wasn't related to anyone on the show when he was thrown out of the car all those years ago.

    • I sometimes wonder if he’s even breathing.
    • I hit the Google Machine, and can't find Alex Alegria's (Tomas) age anywhere. Wow, I really disagree with this. I like that Bill plays against the typical bad guy. I think Maurice Johnson has been just fine -- except for that swaying. I cannot believe someone -- anyone -- on that set didn't give him a note. He should have been called out on that in week one. The swaying and swiveling never stops unless he sits down. I understand the need for product placement and the reason for it. However, it does feel wrong during emotional scenes. Yes, we're talking about the products, but it takes us out of those emotional moments, and GATES shouldn't be happy about that. They need to do better. Maxim said it better than I did. I agree. The writers have absolutely failed Ashley and Derek. I've abused both of them here, but I do place more of the blame on the writing. Compare what A & D have been given with the dialogue Ambyr Michelle is getting as Eva. We're not even in the same universe. Ambyr is getting writing that plays to her (many) strengths. She takes good dialogue and knocks it out of the park. Ashley and Derek are given garbage to play and garbage to say.  
    • The Eva / Tomas scenes at the end -- to see a good actress having to play a scene with someone giving her less than nothing -- that was painful.
    • I thought the story had it’s moments, I much preferred the story once Greg was meddling, trying to keep her away from Tom Ryan. I loved them together!   And there was a story they could have developed from this. Laura stopped having a lot of scenes with the ensemble. She's the only one missing during the big finales of seasons 5&6, and I would have been cool to play on that! For one, Laura being a more cutthroat business executive just made sense to me. Also, the point I was trying to make regarding Mary Robeson was that I wish they had focused on a story from her family /background beforehand. You could play the Vin artist from many angles.
    • Nielsen Ratings for this same week 39 years ago May 5-11 1986. North & South Book II mini-series pre-empted a number of ABC shows. What the heck was NBC’s Fast Copy about?

    • I think the arrival of the Spauldings (Alan/Elizabeth/Phillip) caused the erosion of Sara's character on the show since Elizabeth took over Sara's place in the whole Justin/Jackie story.  Sara's brief marriage to another deceptive man sounded like it paled in comparison to the previous deceptive man story that she had played the decade beforehand.. and it was probably done because of the whole Alan/Jackie/Mike/Elizabeth cluster that took off story wise.   I know the show had introduced Brandy, the woman Justin cheated on Jackie with... but I don't believe she lasted more than a year.. and didn't make much of an impression. While the Dobson's were good at writing/juggling multiple characters/stories.. they weren't perfect though they did manage to make use of characters not in the front burner like Sara, Ann, etc. I do know that Sara/Adam looked to be starting up at the end of the Dobson era with a jealous/regretful Barbara looking on.. which played out during the Roger/Holly rape story and Hollys prison story.   I don't know if Marland was as inspired by that story when he took over
