WHAT THE F---K?!?!?! Im watching right now and I know I didnt just hear Carly say she wants to carry a baby for Jason and Sam. Wow, just wow. Cans oemone tell this BITCH, to MIND HER OWN BUSINESS? She's a desperate skank. She'd probably pull a Kendall and switch her eggs with Sam's so she can finally have that biological child with Jason, she's always dreamed of and then brag about her accomplishment in life of having 4 kids with 4 different men as if that's a medal to hang around her neck

yeah, i agree! i mean, i've come to terms that she's not ever going to have her own storyline. but if you're going to claim someone is on "recurring", then they should be on when a loved one they're extremely close to is going through something as severe as this.

Not to mention she is related to pretty much EVERYONE in this storyline.

It really is. It would be different if they weren't using her entire family so much. And it's not like Bobbie doesn't have good relationships with these people. She's always been super close to Lucky, Carly, Liz, Luke, etc. So her absence is just a giant WTF.

How much could it cost to bring her in for 3 or 4 episodes? They can manage to bring the actor who plays Max in for one pointless scene about him hurting his back during sex. A scene that added NOTHING to the plot...But they can't bring Jackie Zeman in for a storyline that truly calls for her presnece?

I will never get that.

But in an industry that is already so hateful and cruel towards women, why wouldn't they band together? it's not as if JFP and JZ are duking it out for jobs. they're doing different jobs in the same industry. they should be banding TOGETHER, not one screwing the other over.

Carly already forgot she nearly died from carrying Joss. There is no way she would be a good choice as a surrogate mother.

How they use or not use Bobbie is insane. I wish they would just say she is in France with Laura, this "recurring" stuff was just said to keep people from getting angry at the time.

I dont think she forgot at all. She knew exactly what she was doing. She was trying to manipulate Sam by preying on one of her deepest wishes, and thats a desire to have a child. She put the idea out and got the ball rolling, so in that regard, she accomplished what she wanted with that conversation. I dont see her being that giving to actually offer up her womb for Sam.

May I ask how old you are? Not to be mean, but your view(s) comes across rather "innocent" when it comes to the ways of the world. I'll be 32 this year (Jesus Christ!) if that makes you feel any better... Even though I'd rather pull my pants down and flash every last member and "guest" of SON and subject myself to points and laughter before I EVER say that number again.

But, no... what I'm saying is, what you're asking describes the epitome of self-hate in women AND men in positions of power. What they least like about themselves is the FIRST thing they target in others who exhibit the same qualities. That is just life. Showbiz is a very vain and shallow industry. People who run it most often perpetuate the looks/qualities/etc. of what they personally want for themselves in life. Jill Farren "I HAVE PITCH BLACK HAIR IN MY SIXTIES" Phelps doesn't WANT to see an aging 60 year old woman onscreen -- because she doesn't want to look at herself (according to my own theory). So, encouraging another woman who -- let's be honest -- has the same anxieties to succeed isn't part of her agenda. However, Phelps is in a position of power. Zeman is not. Zeman tries to make herself look more appealing to people like Phelps in those positions, and those people are like "No! We know exactly what you're doing! We won't allow YOU to thrive because it will threaten US!"

Simply put: There are women people who are terrified of plastic surgery because of its invasive nature -- and resent those who get it because they feel it's a leg up on what they have.

    • 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.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
