(I cut out the video since all you have to do is go to the last page to see it)

I agree with you. They just casually rewrite history without a care for how it makes the characters look. Has it only been a year since Phillip returned with a horrific butchering of his character, and not a care in the world from him about what he had done? And where was Phillip now? Too busy dealing with evil cattle rustlers to see his dying grandmother? Why do you use your show's history as confetti?? This stuff is pointless and somehow they think they need to become even more pointless. And I say this as a fan of Lauren and Jill. I'm sure someone who started watching more recently and has been trained by the show to not care about either of them will probably be even more annoyed.

They obviously think they are somehow "honoring" history with this BS, even though they just slap together a half-assed effort.

Yes, it certainly HAS been poulated by nice people. that's what we're bemoaning, the complete lack of good characters to balance out the bad. the good characters were:

Stuart Brooks

Leslie Brooks

Liz Foster

Brock Reynolds

John Abbott

Traci Abbott

Cricket

Amy Lewis

Olivia Barber

Paul Williams

Paul is really the only one left. And he gets bupkus for SL most times. He should be the TRUE hero of this show, not that wrinkled old bastard.

I love how people keep bringing this up despite the fact it happened almost 30 years ago and has since been rectified. We need fresher examples! :P

Anyway,

Jess Walton is a Goddess. There are no words to describe her. The fact that she was so heartbreaking despite awful writing and direction says it all. She never falters--never.

But why the rush? I mean, really. We have Liz's death and the reveal in the same episode? Pace yourselves, bitches, pace yourselves.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
