Where will the stars of AMC and OLTL go?

Yeah, I figured with her back they'd obviously capitalize on the Sonny/Brenda thing, I just wasn't sure.

I imagine alot of them will do theatre. Michael E. Knight for instance. I suspect he'll move back to NYC and perhaps do theatre. He's someone I've been waiting to hear reaction from.

I'm not trying to be rude, but honestly, I can't think of a single actor on either show who is hot enough of a commidity. Susan Lucci is of course Susan Lucci. And yes, I could see B&B courting JY. But I seriously do not feel that the remaining soaps are salivating over ANYone. Maybe one or two mercy hirings cuz that's just what soaps do, but for the most part I think they'll all just dip back into the big soapy casting pool.

You know, I just realized...there's such an absence of f!ck-giving on my part as far as the last four are concerned that I don't even know or care who will end up where. I'm gonna try to get back into B&B and DAYS one day, but I don't even watch them enough right now to know who could fit in where. I just hope Mimi Lockhart stays far away from Salem.

I have to say that 75-80% won't be seen on screen again or will only be seen until the next soap they land on gets canceled. Some haven't even worked outside of soap operas and there isn't a market for soap actors with limited to no credits outside a soap opera. The longer tenured actors can afford to retire, if they have managed their money right.

Yeah.... just think back to the desperate "Real Greenlee" campaign. If that doesn't tell you how valuable Frons feels Rebecca is to ABC Daytime, I don't know what will. Probably when GH goes Rebecca will join one of the replacement shows or he'll get her on The View. Wouldn't be surprised. Frons will make sure her career does not wither and die. As for the 50 or so other soap actors put out of work by the decision Thurs, they probably won't even get as much as a thank-you card.

I don't see Lucci doing any other soap. She goes back to NY and does whatever the hell she wants :) AM's hubby's loaded so they go back to NY also and she either does theatre or whatever. Mathison gets hosting gigs and the occasional TV movie and such. He's pretty good at the hosting thing so I see him continuing to be on TV in some form. Any of the older folks can afford to do either retire or wait between gigs as long as they managed their money right. Since there are not enough soaps around to absorb any real number of people, there is a large group of folks who probably will fade into oblivion.

    • The letter reading was very emotional, and Maeve really got to me too. I was a little worried because Vanessa doesn't give a speech at the funeral, which surprised me, but then we got the private letter reading and her true emotional reaction and I was satisfied there. The YouTube channel I watch these episodes on (if not on our Vault), also had upset commenters talk about how Nola's line about Henry not accepting her at first/seen as a gold-digger was totally untrue. It's sad the writers don't do their homework and give fans the respect (and the characters respect). And yep, Bill got up and spoke at the funeral too, which was nice.  I didn't even realize that was Sharon Leal until you said it!  I had to Google it. I loved Sharon Leal in Boston Public back in the day haha. LOL at your Reva/Josh ALWAYS commentary. What is RME though?
    • Leslie is an extreme liar and manipulator. I'm not sure what her point was in trying to convince Nicole she wasn't trying to hurt her. As much as Eva did help orchestrate the entire plot I feel like there was too much piling on. Eva never said she wanted to be a Dupree so Anita was extremely out of line for that comment.  
    • Thanks!

       That's positive and something to look forward to for sure, because you're right, 1996 so far isn't nearly as good as 1995. Ohh - what is Lonatrat?  Sadly you're probably right. I did feel like David was rarely seen once Marcus came on. That would have been an interesting spin, having Frank and Tina be teenage lovers and Dahlia really being his daughter. I'm getting the sense that Tina won't be seen too much anymore, as she just left Dahlia with Frank/Eleni as she's heading to jail for a while. I like the Tina actress too!  Her voice sounds a bit like Rosie Perez to me, which I love. I tried to find her online, but coming up empty. This was the only thing I could find about Tina Crede - a character snapshot video with clips and stills of her (randomly starting just before the 1:00 mark):

      That's wild that the David actor is nearly 40 here! Definitely surprises me.
    • 5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories. 
    • One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.
    • I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
