A- .GIF use, it would have been an A+ but Sammi is in it, tho she would be an upgrade as Kendull.

Are you stuck in 1994? Thats the only way you could even try to argue that we have an amazing, beautiful, flawless Actress in the role of Kendull. B)

That's great to hear Susan say that about Agnes, but I don't think Agnes was ever really pushed aside. Even under Frons (not that she would want to work under him) I'm sure if Agnes had asked to return as HW, she would have been allowed to. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if she was against some decisions (the way even sweet Aggie goes on about Pratt being just the wrong style for AMC speaks volumes) and her "consultations" were ignored.

The thing on The View that really drove me crazy was Babwa. When did she become such a [!@#$%^&*]? Last year she was condescending as Hell to Agnes Nixon, treating her as some archaic old frail relic, and now she seemed to be working hard not to all out gloat that The View was still on and AMC was dead.

Is the Joy interview online anywhere?

Yeah Agnes has always had SOME level of participation... How much they listen to her is another thing--or how much she even consults. But it's not like some soap blogs have implied that her returning in a more active role for the final months will leave her with all these characters and stories she has no idea about--

Baba has always been somewhat unpleasant to watch - I guess now she has just dropped the fakery. I guess it's not a big surprise if she's bitter, considering her entire career has been about negative views of women, from her tea-pouring Today Show start, to her representing the paranoia and fears of male anchors in the 70's, to her representing the parody of vapid "celebrity" interviewers, to her baby being popular mostly because it is a comfort to those who want to see women as ill-informed, petty, and shallow, a show where pseudo-intellectual morons rattle off incorrect and dangerous information in-between their butt-kissing and claw-sharpening. Agnes Nixon and Susan Lucci aren't perfect but can at least be content with their lives and careers. Baba will be remembered for asking people what kind of tree they are or for having a feud with Star Jones.

I don't know if I'm the only one who didn't know you could scroll pages with the arrows on the site. SMG also talked about coming back to AMC and her favorite memories...

On her favorite memories from working on "All My Children":

"My friends that I made: Kelly Ripa, Eva La Rue, Sidney Penny. I still speak to these women all the time. I made amazing friends, and it was one of the greatest training grounds I ever could have asked for."

On coming back for the finale:

"I'm waiting for the call. I would. I absolutely would. My phone is not ringing. I think it has to be more like a bartender or something because there is someone that plays my character now. She does an amazing job with it, and it is her character now, so I'd have to play someone else. I could be the UPS man!"

If somebody doesn't beat me to it I'm going to make an attempt to do this at some point this weekend. I have a DVD of it and a new computer, maybe that's all it takes!

    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
