Ok! Back to my meeting with John Silva! :D Well he is still very good looking in person and a VERY nice guy! He was staying at the hotel for a wedding. He said that recently a woman came up to him at the airport and asked him why they didn't follow through with pairing John with Nina. He said he was stunned because that was a story they teased for 6 episodes. He couldn't believe that somebody would remember a specific story that only lasted 6 episodes.

On the subject of why he isn't on the show anymore, he said he was married to Rhonda Friedman, who has been a producer on B&B forever and when they got divorced she didn't want him there so he was gone. He said thats why you never see him when they have those anniversaries and events where he would likely show up, it is intentional. I told him that the Bell's are basically shut out of Y&R now so now would be the perfect time for him to return. He seemed shocked when I got him up to speed on things. He'd heard of Maria Bell writing the show and stuff, but didn't realize where things were now.

How interesting and cool.....:D you are so lucky!!! :D

I think it's great that he is still recognized, I would've told him I was hoping they paired him with Nina too.....and also asked what it was like to work with Tricia, Lauralee, M.Damian, M.Corbett, Jeanne, Jess, and even Kimberlin.....did you get to ask him about any of his old co -stars Chris?

I find it a little silly that his ex would keep him from staying on the show, not that I don't believe him but there must be more to the story.....

Rafe should have been a relative of Silva's maybe his nephew....that is if the show ever really cared about extending his family or following through with a gay story.....(Rafe competing for Harding with Kevin!!!.....haha just kidding....)

Watching the Lorie/Victor scenes, it would have been intriguing to see what could have happened had JLB just taken a hiatus rather than leaving the show. I think her Lorie would have been a real force for Nikki to reckon with. VM is also so subtle yet on point in her scenes. I do prefer McCook as far as acting in the Lance role, though Cole is better eye candy. I remember Cole from several appearances on Charlie's Angels.

    • I absolutely love the idea of Krista Allen being on the show. I wouldn't saddle her with Jen though. I'd create a brand new character for her. She could be a diva who lives Beyond The Gates and is gradually seen at the country club. Then I'd do a slow roll out where the Duprees don't like her and her family because she is part of the first white family that "infiltrated" Beyond The Gates. Then slowly...and I mean slowly...expand Krista's character's family as a rival to the Duprees as some have said the show should have. A younger son to mix it up with Chelsea/Kat, a daughter to maybe run for office against Martin. Krista Allen could easily be a great matriarch for a rival family.

    • They said Kate was on the board too.  I am confused if that's all new developments or we always knew that.  I really have no idea why Kate would be on the hospital board.

Then in a brilliant moment she invoked the words of Claire Labine, said by Rosalind Cash as Mary Mae Ward to Stone, near death, a now very famous quote: "Every moment of my life, whether filled with joy or with pain, has the potential for grace realized. Whether it's an opportunity to learn, or whether it's to make a connection, or whether it's to find love which you didn't think existed, these are gifts from god & to throw them back in his face is something unthinkable to me." 
    • That would make sense; he is to DAYS as the Quartermaines are to GH, in terms of the hospital board. If only DAYS had a hospital worth being a board member of.

    • I think Arielle Prepetit is great, but I almost wish Naomi had been Nathan and Jacob were Jacqueline (shades of Tom and Margo). We’d have another Dupree son, and the idea of Bill being a disgraced role model for his male lawyer son would have a different resonance around masculinity and generational trauma, especially since we already have Chelsea for the female Hamilton daughter POV. Just for the balance.
    • I actually like Alex/Gabi.   I didn't mind JJ/Gabi, but I agree JJ is a bore.  I am confused as to why Brady is on the hospital board?  Something to do with Isabella, I assume?   If Rachel is the shooter the recast makes a bit more sense.
    • @FaulknerI do agree with you about the male characters. I feel like I've been overlooking that because a female-driven soap has been so rare these days.  They have some relationships they could build upon but not nearly enough. The male characters for the most part don't have any friends or family to help develop them. This is also part of the issue with having only one main family.   
    • I still suspect they won't show a kid holding and shooting a gun. I think she stabbed him, and then someone else shot him to cover it up.
