God bless Susan Lucci. :lol: She plays Jane exactly as she does Erica -- as this ultra-feminine kitten of steel. But you know what? I love her for it. I love how La Looch *IS* Erica. Even when she isn't.

Gah.... Dixie. I don't know how I feel about this. I like Cady more than I like Dixie, if that makes sense. Dixie was kind of propped during her golden years on AMC, plus her insistence that she be paired with Thorsten Kaye during her last stint paved her way to the poisoned pancakes. I will be watching for her myriad hairstyles, though. That hair is the follicle world's answer to Meryl Streep and badly needs its own agent.

Sounds like I missed an exciting/interesting show today! Can't wait to watch tomorrow.

Re: Palmer. I've just accepted that any time a character sees the "ghost" of a loved one, it's just a hallucination or their imagination or, in the case of dead folk like Palmer, their souuuuuuuuul.

It's an angel taking the appearance of a loved one so the newly departed will step into the light without fear. When you walllllk down the rooooad...Heavy burdens, heeeeeavy load.</Della Reese>

Really people are we going to nitpick this? The show has been canceled. All bets are off. We've hit the ultimate reset button. Anybody can come back from the dead. Hell at this point Jesse and Angie's baby could come back from the dead. In four months, it won't matter anymore.

YES!

There was a little thing called going out with dignity that, now, seems to be questionable with dopplegangers running around and undead people making wishing stars in cells. The concept of "Anything can be done because we're gonna be off the air in four months!" is asinine. It's akin to a person thinking they don't really have to do their job properly anymore because they've given their two weeks notice. You may be done, but there are still other people invested in you doing your best work until you're gone. It's disrespectful, because now, by bringing Dixie (if this is indeed Dixie) back from the dead, you're opening up a whole new chapter for the Tad and Dixie fans that you aren't able to continue telling. The idea, at least I thought, was to close story -- bring the tale to an end. Not leave people wanting to know what's happened over the last five years.

I'll bend for anyone, even Ellie being pulled alive from that grave...lol, but not Josh. No. No. No.

Wasn't Maria a ghost too? It could all just be said to be in her loved ones mind. That she came to offer them comfort and what not. Personally, I don't think AN and LB are going to go anywhere near it. I think they'll just do the best they can to fill in the last five years, get T&D back together and give them their happy ending with Kathy. There isn't time for any thing else.

okay then how would you explain her greeting Palmer in heaven? Dont you think its best to ignore that without coming up with some convoluted reason to explain that away?

No she wasnt. The show made it clear when she appeared to Edmund, that she was merely a figment of his imagination

Okay this was all I needed to read. We're never going to agree on this because I totally believe in checking out once you've given your two weeks. Not intentionally screwing up mind you, but the last two weeks but when you're done, you're done.

As for the rest of what you said, we'll only be able to judge how this ends, once it ends. Everything on screen now is in a state of flux, so it's pointless to freak out over whether this is a "tweak" or not. Especially when we're talking about a five second scene last year where Dead Palmer "played" by an actually dead actor was welcomed to "heaven" by perpetually dead/undead Dixie. That scene was just a nice bit of fluff to acknowledge the connection between Dixie and Palmer. Not the GPS locator on Dixie's soul.

Sorry but that is just not the place to stake out the "going out with dignity" battle.

LOL! The unabortion sucked not only because it spit in the face of of a historical touchstone but also because it spit in the face of basic science. That's hardly an issue with ghosts and visions of the hereafter.

    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate 
    • This show is definitely not one to deserve the axe.  especially the New Year’s Eve episode was crazy wild! there is a place where u can download nearly all episodes from October 2019 til today. But they don’t accept new people. https://youtu.be/aD-IXEJjymU?si=19wtpwthSNYOe-4y   this is from this years winter break when the returned. I loved it
