There's something about Matt Borlenghi that I don't trust or like:

Matthew Borlenghi

I agree. I may not have made the 'notable alumni' list, but I agree whole-heartedly. Funny that if I had not quit my role as Brian, Kelly never would have met Mark and so forth. I am profoundly saddened to see the show, and all those jobs, go away.

Matt Borlenghi

You should be on that list.I was watching when both you and Kelly joined the AMC family,and loved Brian and Hailey.

Since both shows have a relatively short amount of time to wrap things up, I think a montage akin to the finale of Six Feet Under's (minus the death part!) where we get glimpses of a lot of old favorites would be great. For example, instead of cramming in a bunch of scenes with dialogue or running crusty flashbacks, flash to Ellen and Mark walking arm in arm on vacation in (fake) Paris, Daisy and Nina laughing and cooking in the kitchen with glasses of white wine and pics of Cliff, Bobby, Michael, and Bonkers clearly visible, Enid, Marian, and Mary Smythe doing lunch (Marian's free! Mary still exists!), Tom and Livia gushing over Terrence and An-Li's baby they just brought over, stuff like that... you can capture a lot with no dialogue at all. I'm pretty confident we'll see Joe and Ruth, Adam and Brooke, angel Dixie with her newest 'do... it would be nice to get even a glimpse of some other old faves.

It's blowing up in the most unexpected way, and I am loving it. I love how the general consensus is that Frons is a rat bastard. I love it. LOVE IT. I don't carrrrre that the shows will still be dead and still be gone. I just love how this gigantic spotlight is being shone on them one last time, if only for a moment.

This was from Matt Borlenghi from a few days ago, before cancellation.

Am thinking that I might be done with acting, and just stick to developing and producing tv shows... Yup... Might just be done with it...

It's like, ok, why are you telling us this? To feel sorry for you? :rolleyes:

This may be too lofty a position to take--but what Frons doesn't get is that soaps at their best deal with human issues and problems in a way something like the Chew never could. My mom has said she helped come to terms with her abuse cuz of Vicki's 90s DID ordeal. I can think of many of my own issues, like coming out and dealing with past history, that the shows have really helped me through. I can think of many other instances--people grow, I think, from drama, and not from watching people tell you in an hour how to eat, and some host showing a woman who lost weight.

Even a grim story like McTavish's Erica intervention got both of us a lot closer. No episode of Oprah would have done that. What I find most insulting is that Frons claims that he's helping more people with his new shows.

    • Really? But it was sooooo unrealistic. At least they found a legit reason for him to not run (SilkPress Sheila ain't no punk or joke...lol).
    • 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.
