You know what pisses me off about this Cane crap more than anything? The fact that we had to sit through 4 years of sh!t storytelling for this character that we cared nothing about, constant rewrites and identity changes, implausible character motivations (like him not admitting right away that he knew Delia wasn't his when DNA showed she was a Chancellor), an saccharine sweet awful coupling with the other most boring character on the show, and all of his crap shoved down our throats as he was on the frontburner during all of it. And for what? For Cane to be killed off for no apparent reason, all of which boiling down to some underground cattle shenanigans(!) in Australia. Cane and all of this will only be remembered as the one and only time a character was killed off a soap because of cattle.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I really don't care or mind that he's gone, but on the other hand, I'm offended that I had to watch this sh!t for years and all of it amounted to absolutely nothing.

Sometimes I wish that GH and Y&R would stop penning this rubbish and just turn the cameras 180 degrees on the backstage shenanigans and jealousies of their respective casts. Color me surprised that MF was once a scientologist!

A few observations from Monday's show:

-I like having Chance back. He's a nice guy who is *gasp* decent to the people around him and love and admires his mother. I think Nina should be admired!

-Feather obviously wandered onto the Y&R set thinking she was going to start shooting a Vivid DVD. She appears to be on the point of orgasm with every revelation. "Oh-oh-oh-OH-OHHHHHH Chance. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh God! Yes!" And I'm not sure why she is there and Chloe is not. Regardless of what a cow Chloe is at the moment, she had an extended relationship with Chance. He was a father figure to her daughter. They were engaged to be married. The actor is also the only guy with whom Elizabeth Hendricksen has any chemistry. Instead, they have Feather (with whom he had two rolls in the hay) at his bedside. WTF?

-Jess Walton and Tricia Cast = perfection. I love that Nina did this for Jill knowing how devastated she was.

-The scene with Jill and Colin just before they went to bed -- Colin is still shellshocked and in mourning but cannot show it.

-Lily & Daniel... yeah, it wasn't awful but the chemistry is gone.

-Billy as "caring father" juggling with baby Lucy's cold is just :rolleyes: As was his assertion that meekling "I can't live without a baby -- any baby" CrackToria was some kind of Mama Lion. For one awful moment in the shower room, I was worried that the two would forget the baby and start going at it. The toilet being the scene for so many of their "romantic entanglements."

-CrackToria must really be out of it if she asked Billy to promise never to die. Everybody knows MAB likes to plan for a legacy death twice a year.

-Team Jana! Kevin is an insensitive twat and honestly Jana should just take whatever money she can squeeze out of his thieving asss and steer clear of him and his wretched family of grifters. They just bring bad luck on anybody who marries into the family anyway (witness Lauren and every one of Gloria's husbands).

She said she tripped when she was being interviewed by the police, I think she said on ice can't remember

"I guess I tripped or something" I remember that much.

Re: Kevin being insensitive I just don't see it

I mean Jana is faking and has been scheming all along, actually I like her always have but in this case I'm glad he told her the truth

I'm sure she'll come up with something else to manipulate him.

Why have Chance or even Ronan when you can have Kevin.

That scene just shows how little time they spent with their other children. I can't feel sorry for them when they whine about not being able to be near Delia or Reed. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing Reed back with Victoria now that Maria realizes he was the kid in the Darth Vader commercial.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
