Y&R Stars (or any soap really) who don't get along in real life.

I wasn't insulted. I just do not know how to explain the discrepency!

Ashley has always been one of my favourite characters -- I think the first time I ever watched Y&R, she was in the scene (with Terry Lester)! That's how connected she is to Y&R in my mind. But I can see that the sperm-stealing damn near ruined the character. Ashley was actually a lot stronger and more with it in the 1980s than her nervous breakdown back then would suggest. Too bad the late 90s and 00s were spent continually revisiting that Victor/breakdown dynamic.

I was glad when B&B took her on and returned her to the Ash I remembered from back in the day. I thought Y&R might go the route of an Adam-Ashley affair when Chris Engen was in the role but, as we know now, that was far from the case. Sigh.

Some would argue that MTS has also played a dead-end character for a while but, see, I love both Nikki and Ashley and couldn't really bear the show without either of them.

As for Brenda Dickson and Jeanne Cooper, I think JC must know the real Brenda, underneath the fame, gold lamé, affected accents, marriages and (alleged!) mental breaks. Brenda essentially grew up on Y&R in the 1970s. I could totally see JC mentoring her as they both started getting SLs together. Brenda was such a fresh, soulful, unspoiled presence on Y&R in the 70s -- from what I've seen.

It's kind of a cool friendship! And it has not stopped JC from being close with Jess Walton, either.

LOL. I have nothing to add. It was something I heard second hand from somewhere that Eileen was fired because "the producer" had been sleeping with her husband or ex-husband or something like that. Well put two-and-two together(coupled with the fact that Jon Lindstrom had worked with Lethal on Port Charles) and that was my assumption.

Not just Jeanne, apparently. Thom Bierdz, as well, still appears to have a good relationship w/ Brenda Dickson, as well.

I realize the girl caused problems for Papa Bell and several of her co-workers on the set, but perhaps Jeanne and Thom put up w/ her (even today) b/c they knew that despite all the drama off-screen, she also brought the drama on-screen, too.
