Okay, Ima need Jesse to stop talking about "Hayward's slick AZZ" so often. We know that he's trying to orchestrate some kind of realization of a prisoner sex fantasy, we don't need to be reminded of it every time he speaks.

Angie's doctor is Dr. Belding. I wonder if he has a brother who's a principal in California...

Amanda is too good. Toooo good. My thirtysomething-year-old husband would not be playing with Legos all day.

You just know 90% of those ballots were sent in by the same 10 people.

Ten people? I think you're being a little generous there, marceline. ;-)

No, I sent flowers instead. A source whom I trust told me that's what persuaded John Conboy to dump Maureen Garrett and a few other old farts at GUIDING LIGHT and bring back whatshisface -- you know, the dude who played the prince of some island or some [!@#$%^&*] like that? -- as a whole diff character! I'm telling ya folks, it's all about the flowers!!!

We prefer to be called TrekkERS not TrekkIES. Please make a note of it or I will set phasers on kill and lock on your coordinates. And since I have been holding this back for years...

I prefer Trekkers also, but the late Gene Roddenberry said that it was "Trekkies" so it does seem a tad blasphemous to go against our spiritual leader. Always good to know there are other Trekkers on SON.

Live long and prosper!

Jesse is Lisa Turtle's birf favuh. :ph34r:

But seriously, how does something like "Zach Slater" even happen, no one under 35 caught that and said something? :lol: That name's better for some comical David Vickers-like wannabe player, played by a tool like Ty Treadway.

The AMC/SBTB connections are taking on a Da Vinci Code feel.

Say, you're not a member of the Philolexian Society, are you? Because, that's just what they do to me every time they see me.

I refuse to make connections between AMC and SBTB. It would hurt every bone in my body to do so.

So you don't want to discuss how Anita Santos Warner was last played by Natalia Cigliuti, who was on SBTB: New Class as Lindsay Warner ... and left AMC when Anita moved to California -- where fictional Bayside High is located? So now Lindsay Warner and Anita Santos Warner are somewhere in California!

Or... how Lucas Barnes was played by Richard Lawson, who made a guest appearance on SBTB: New Class as the father of Megan Jones, played by his real life daughter, Bianca Lawson?

I thought one of the script writers out and out proudly said to SOD how she came up with the name Zach Slater cuz she was a fan of SBTB?

It couldn't have been a script writer -- they aren't involved in such decisions. It could've been Chip Hayes, who named the "Zarf" character.

It was Chip! I know it wasn't McTavish because I remember finding it odd that someone else named the character... I suppose when you've been called Chip all your life...

In my opinion, he's in over his head. Young and Restless has more stellar actors and divas..
He's more suited for the fraternity house of days.
Cane is also an awful character. Chad was more in his lane.

David Hamilton looks like a poor man's Robert Reed with that 70's blow dry perm. Did David and Laura have love scenes? Ick !!! if they did. I like this original (Michael Gregory) version of Rick better than Chris Robinson's version. I recently read Gregory quit the show after the 1hour expansion. I always assumed Monty replaced him.
Robinson always comes across as skeevy and having read a bit about him offscreen it fits. I seem to remember comments that Charleson and Alexander didn't like working with. I could picture someone like Chad Everett playing a recast Rick at that time.

Why they still throw every man that comes on the show (even younger ones) at Phyllis for a romp I don't know. I can always set my watch to it if they're not related. It's a matter of time before she beds one of the Noahs someday. (She hasn't, right?)
This isn't 20 years ago and Stafford isn't Vanessa Marcil.

To this day, the reveal feels very anticlimactic to me. Here, we have a whodunnit that literally had the entire nation - if not the entire globe - in its' grip, and she's the one who turns out to be the culprit?

As The World Turns Discussion Thread

Well, it's been a long time since the entire story unfolded, and I still can't recall or make sense of all the twists and turns...sigh...but I'll try, lol.
Basically, Rosanna, who is married to Craig at this point, wants a baby. Craig, however, doesn't want a baby - I guess, because he had just lost Bryant? - but to appease his wife, he arranges for an adoption.
Rosanna learns that the adoption (of their son, whom she names "Cabot") was illegal and that she has to give Cabot back to his biological mother, who lives, offscreen, in Canada. Rosanna dumps Craig and leaves Oakdale (and somewhere, in the middle of all this, Rosanna falls in love with Paul Ryan, too).
In the meantime, Rosanna gets back in touch with Cabot's bio mom, who tells her that she could have Cabot back, but only if she convinces Jordan Sinclair to marry her. (Don't ask me why, lol).
So, Rosanna does just that: she cons Jordan into marrying her. It's only AFTER they marry, however, that Jordan learns he is Cabot's biological father. (I think this is also when Jordan learns he, himself, is James Stenbeck's illegitimate son, but I'm not sure).
Rosanna panics when she learns that James is Cabot's paternal grandfather and abducts the baby. James, in turn, abducts Cabot and Rosanna and leaves them to die in a burning building. Someone - Jordan? Paul? - rescues Rosanna, but the baby is presumed dead. Jordan annulls his and Rosanna's marriage and leaves town.
Barbara, who had crossed over to the dark side with James, plots with him to implicate Emily in some bizarre scheme to drive Rosanna crazy with the suggestion that her baby was still alive (which he was, James had rescued Cabot from that fire). Rosanna agrees to dump Paul in exchange for getting Cabot back. Rosanna leaves Oakdale again.
Some time later, though, Craig finds Rosanna (and Cabot) someplace out of the country. Rosanna is devoted to her son, but realizes that she has to give up baby Cabot for adoption again, or else he'll always be in danger of being taken by James Stenbeck...
...which, I think, led us straight into the Jennifer/Gwen baby switch, but whatever. I mean, all that drama over a child that ended up being given away anyway, and a baby drama that led us only to yet another baby drama. No wonder I ended up on antidepressants, lol.

She was born in 2005 so she'd be 20 year old. In soap years, I would keep her at 20. We can't make Erica a great grandmother. It's too soon 😛

A plotline they really should do as some sweeps event at this point. Halloween II's empty hospital will never not creep me out.
I've always said KT is incapable of playing deep nuance or much earnest pathos and recent events have borne that out again.

I still remember the gloriously outspoken HBS letting that info out in an interview. IIRC Nora was at a funeral and she didn’t know who it was that died or why Nora was there. I know it has gotten even harder.
This is kind of a hybrid version of the way that most films work. But the problem is the volume of material and so many stories that they clearly often just cut out the little character bits and details to keep it pumping. And as I said, sometimes it’s more noticeable than others. And it’s a talent schedule thing. Which is also why sometimes they give the lines to a performer tangentially connected to a story because of a schedule issue and they go with who they have. Mostly supporting, not the lead part of the story.
As far as the directing credits go, I have no idea. I know that many of us speculated that several scriptwriters listed per day showed they had to credit from the several scripts they used, not sure what’s up with directing.
On to the actual show. I see a lot of complaints about Dante. He is very hard on Gio. But the son he raised just got charged with felonies and locked up, there was vital information they did not know, and he has the last trauma with his part in Michael going to prison. I also think this is pretty typical soap conflict behavior. Do people watching now really want all these characters to be perfect and never have conflict? For GH this part of the story is mostly about actual human feelings, although heightened for soaps. It’s how I feel about Drew too. We need conflict in this show! There was a several year period recently where everything was generic and genial and boring- I don’t want to go back to that.
And people can miss me with Britt defending. She’s up to her eyeballs in something shady and she isn’t capable of playing any layers that make it seem like her hand is truly forced. Yes her medication. But that scene with Emma was ridiculous because poor Britt.
Also- all those extras for a debate and voting booths, and the hospital is practically abandoned. There was more staff in the Haddonfield Clinic in Halloween 2 than GH these days.

Today on the The Young and the Recurring...
The opening credits featuring Lauralee, Beth, Tracey etc
It says something when the guest list was basically recurring players. To think that might be the last time we see Tricia. But she nailed it giving Cane what he deserved. Just wish she's go with a more flattering hair color-that dark brown is too harsh.
Patty/Gina still looks good.
Why was Diane there? A throwback to her and Cricket being Jabot models?
Phyllis was even more intolerable than usual-she just comes across as pathetic. And poor Billy Flynn looking like 'this isn't what I signed up for'
No Lucy-is the actress unavailable?
