During their confrontation, Lucinda scoffs at the idea that Lily's adoption secret could've had anything to do with Martin's suicide - she blames it on McColl as though it's an entirely separate issue. I thought she came on blaming Whit McColl for ruining his business. It's Iva who suggests to her Martin could've had another reason. But you'd know better than me.

I haven't seen any of that in a long time to be honest - I don't really remember when that aspect was written in.

If I remember correctly, the reveal of Lucinda not being Lily's biological mother came during her rivalry with Whit McColl, as she blamed him for her husband Martin's suicide over blackmail involving that secret. 

 

I do think it would have still been a surprise to viewers about Iva and Lily.

 

Yvonne was fired by John Valente. 

 

I'm glad Yvonne was fond of Marland but I thought even his material for her was poor.

 

 

That's surprising, as I think she was gone by the time Ben arrived. I remember reading at the time there was no long term story plans for ATWT - maybe it was a last minute firing.

 

So was there any interesting gossip that was hinted at? It sounds like the whole thing was poorly done so I won't be watching.

Peter tested with Yvonne. She said they were going to paired as a couple but the recycling of writers squashed it.

 

There was a lot of Liz Hubbard talk. Everyone knew they would have to be at their best opposite her. Allyson mentioned how Liz told her what a great job she did during the Walsh takeover storyline. Allyson said she was stunned by the compliment because Liz rarely gave them.

 

Tom mentioned how he'd love to make Liz be on her toes during their scenes. 

 

Michael Morrison was mentioned. How he was loved but had a lot of demons. 

 

How Kathleen would initiate ever new male cast member by showing her boobs to them..lol

 

Yvonne mentioned her firing along with Allyson but Alan stayed away from it. I wish she would've continued spilling things. She did say how the writers didn't know how to write female frienships.

@Soapsuds thanks for the rundown. I appreciate it. She is right about the female friendship aspect. I think the only one among younger women in that era was Julie and Emily.

Allyson also mentioned her first day and how she didn't like the way her hair had been styled but said nothing. Dan Hamilton was directing and asked the actors in that episode if everyone was happy about everything. Allyson spoke up about her hair style and it was changed. 

 

Allyson mentioned how she always viewed all her performances which most actors didn't do. I believe she has all of her episodes stored. She mentioned posting some of them. I wish she'd post the Walsh Enterprise takeover story since it's never been on YouTube.

 

Scary.

This reminded me of the fan Allyson had who sent her scary mail saying she was married to him and then left him. She talked about it in the reunion.

Grammar has a sad and scary history of violent acts perpetrated against family members too.

I'm sure her dad got some big time triggers after hearing about this. I'm glad that Spencer will be OK.

Bumping this up in case anyone missed it on Friday.

I had a huge crush on Jay.

Just admire the beauty..

 

Here he is with Kirk. I think later on in this episode or the one after this he appears shirtless😋

 

 

Breck lives in Wyoming. He has a Facebook account. The pic isn't recent but couldn't find any newer ones.

I am not even going to ask what he is doing in a gladiator costume...but he still looks good. I have to laugh at that pouty shirt open still of his.  I always liked him as he looked like a cute normal guy you could do to school with..not a fitness model.
