April 23, 201015 yr Member WIN. You see I'm trying to get( let me use MAB words) " That Gay Storyline on & popping".
April 23, 201015 yr Member Maybe they'll have to whole Foster family spit on Jill and tell her how worthless she is. Not like everyone else on this sh!t show hasn't done it this past year...
April 23, 201015 yr Member Oh, yes... Carl... Houghton and Espy are by far the best. I have no real reason for not liking Hasselhoff, I just don't like him.
April 23, 201015 yr Member Oh, yes... Carl... Houghton and Espy are by far the best. I have no real reason for not liking Hasselhoff, I just don't like him. He's so cheesy. The brief clips I've seen of him he seemed cheesy as Snapper. It's one of the reasons I've never been a big John McCook fan either. Espy, at least on AW, seemed so much more solid, and also very sensual.
April 23, 201015 yr Member I think they got Wings instead of Houghton (who played Greg in 2003) is because Wings is a bigger name (even though nobody cares now). Houghton has aged well and is a good actor. I would've enjoyed seeing him back. I also agree that Hasslehoff's Snapper wasn't the most interesting from clips, but we'll see. I'm still very excited at a temp JILL story. Not a Kay story trashing Jill, but a potential story centering around her. Hopefully they don't continue to trash her and have everybody think so negatively of her.
April 23, 201015 yr Member You see I'm trying to get( let me use MAB words) " That Gay Storyline on & popping". LOL Wings Hauser has a face made for radio.
April 23, 201015 yr Member You see I'm trying to get( let me use MAB words) " That Gay Storyline on & popping". LOL, oh the places I could go with this.....
April 23, 201015 yr Member LOL, oh the places I could go with this..... "Things heard coming from Tony Geary's dressing room for $200 Alex"
April 23, 201015 yr Member CSF, that's a good question, and I'd like to know where the hell Trish Stewart is.... she seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. And PLEASE don't give us that horrible Lynne Topping, i'd rather they not put Chris on at all in that case. I don't like Hoff, but I know he is and was popular... my mother LOVED him. But Hauser??!!! He's so ugly he got to sneak up on a glass of water! WHY? They might as well have cast Ernest Borgnine! LMAO on Hauser. I'm okay with him, only because he did RAGE so nicely during the end of his marriage to Nikki. I liked Hoff a lot during the Snapper years. He DIDN'T have the gravitas or broody nature of Espy. But he was sexy as hell. Lynne Richter Topping was definitely not the Chris Brooks we'd come to know and love, but the whole Brooks clan was clearly on the way down by the time she was on. Plus she has the dubious distinction of being on Y&R during one of the WORST storylines ever. I'm talking about the 6-month period where Chris tired of living on a Resident's salary, and wanted new furniture. Her rich dad Stuart offered to buy it for her, but that was an insult to Snapper's manly pride. This cause a SERIOUS rift in the marriage, as it shone a light on what different worlds Chris and Snapper came from. Added to the mix was Dr. Jane Lewis (played by Mark Harmon's sister), who wanted Snapper, and so she kept encouraging Chris to take the furniture. A six month story about FURNITURE! I may be exaggerating how long it took, but it sure as hell seemed like six months.

Hopefully they don't continue to trash her and have everybody think so negatively of her. Yeah, but Houghton got fired during the LML era, and I think there must be some bad blood. Because Houghton's trial on B&B didn't last long AT ALL. How long? Maybe 6 weeks. So, I think it was just not comfortable to bring him back. Plus, there are sort of "pairs". Kerwin and McGillin didn't last long enough in the role of Greg to count. So then, really, you had two eras of Snapper-Greg. Espy-Houghton Hasselhoff-Hauser If you're going to bring on the one, you oughta bring on the other. Hasselhoff and Houghton never did a scene together...so they wouldn't have been able to invoke any kind of old brotherly chemistry. Of course, NONE of 'em ever had scenes with Walton.
April 23, 201015 yr Member Indeed it was four months: May-August 1981. I have just checked. I love you, FrenchFan The most unending drudge ever! It almost made the Reliquary seem appealing by contrast
April 23, 201015 yr Member The most unending drudge ever! That had to be MAB's solo period in 2008...
April 23, 201015 yr Member That had to be MAB's solo period in 2008... LOL. I thought Josh Griffith was rewriting her then, LOL
April 23, 201015 yr Member LOL. I thought Josh Griffith was rewriting her then, LOL Though I won't claim he has no responsibility, I see a lot of what was wrong with then show then now. You know, like forcing material that obviously doesn't work and trying to spin it off onto other stories. I mean, look at this Lauren/Sarah nonsense, which started out as Daniel's art story and then turned into a Deacon and Amber story... We already know Maria is not a trained soap writer and she only wrote a few SCRIPTS (not plotting, just dialogue) for B&B in the late 80's, and add in Hamner and Sheffer's worst tendencies (which are also apparent), we have the mess of a show we have now...
