How do you think LML would have treated HT or her Victoria?

I think Rauch and Hogan would have destroyed her; strong female characters must pay.

The sad thing about this thread is that after last year I can't write anything off. I actually have to believe they might suddenly bring Brad back from the dead. Last year shows nothing is out of their realm of stupidity.

How do you think LML would have treated HT or her Victoria?

The same way she treated the other actresses.

Horribly.

How do you think Victoria would have changed as a character over the past seven years if Heather were still there?

The character would still be Victoria & be the heart of that family but the sexism of the industry would NEVER let her be Braeden's successor. She also wouldn't get the story or opportunities Morrow did due to sexism but she wouldn't be treated like a glorified extra nor would she be totally removed from business stories & haphazardly given art as a patronizing consolation prize. She also wouldn't be playing constant support to Giggly Heffa.

Definitely.

You'd think that with years people would be open to newer things, that they would grow and learn. Instead, there's so much agenda going on at these daytime soaps that I just can't bare to watch it.

Exactly.

After 40 years of trying the same formulas with diminishing returns each time you'd think Daytime would remember it always thrives when it's progressive.

But to them it's easier to fail with what's "safe" than succeed with what's not.

The role of Reed will now be played by Brett Claywell!

From what I remember it was a toss-up between firing Diamond and Doug Davidson. They're not getting rid of Davidson now, especially with Riegel coming on. Where would they even get the money for him? That would probably mean another costly vet on the chopping block.

Wow, they made the wrong choice. I like Paul but he stopped being interesting 20 years ago. He's as fun as stale melba toast. Brad knew how to mix it up, take on Victor, and is rather good looking. I've always considered Brad to be heir to the Victor thrown: Self-made, romantic, brutal.

Maria needed Doug to make the Patty/Emily story POP.
