I've been noticing that. All I could think was yeah maybe to cut costs or something, or maybe quick re-writes since these scenes were taped a month ago around the time it was announced Becky Herbst got her job back. Maybe that could be why things seem so rushed? From what I heard the show had something totally different planned then what's currently playing right now. IDK. Let me stop speculating, lol.

Yeah, I think it was. We all guessed he would show up at AMC but didn't expect this long for it to happen. And when it did, D&D are fired! I hope Broderick brings back Fred Johnson to help her usher the show out.

So this all started with Whitesell getting the boot from Days, Sony places him at Y&R and boots Casiello, Tomlin picks off Dunn from AMC to replace Whitesell, and Gold replaced Dunn at AMC...what a soap opera. I wish Casiello the best but he was obviously axed for Whitesell. But now...where has Bloom landed...this Angie story and the Erica story have Bloom written all over them...remember she was at ABC..who else thinks she's penning stories for AMC?

Speaking of Lloyd "Lucky" Gold, I attended a staged reading of his newest play, "Renaissance," last week @ St. Thomas Episcopal Church in NYC. Not bad. I actually wanted to talk with him afterward about his play, but didn't.

    • Oh yes, that would be grand!  But Ken Corday will never allow that.  No executive-producer wants to hear people rave about how good his show "used to be".   
    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...

        New interview!! I was like Penny, aka Janet, and said, "That's the end???"
    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her own son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   The genius of Bill Bell -- truly.  
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride.
