I think Adam was made irrelevant as a character years before David Canary left. The capper was just Pratt's run, which repeatedly cuckolded Adam because Pratt loved Annie. (I guess you could say the same about McTavish and Krystal/Babe - it just bothered me more with Pratt as it was so ugly what they did to Stuart).

I would go with the Cortlandts as a family unit mostly because there's so much left to explore with them. I don't care about Cliff, but Nina could return, and they could recast Bobby (or hire Christian Campbell again), bring Sam in, Cliff and Nina's other child, Ross, a recast for Julie, Petey, and Opal still being a presence. They could have some new character come in to cause problems for them and it turns out this is Ross and Natalie's child, spirited away via retcon.

The Chandlers amount to:

Adam - not coming back

Colby - worthless

JR - horribly written for years, most popular actor in the role is leaving

Hayley - not coming back

Skye - a character whose history has been rewritten over and over, and a character who has, essentially, devolved into being Robin Christopher's ATM machine

Well, you can always recast Colby and Hayley. Colby just hasn't found the right actress and writing. And JR - well, life will go on without Jacob Young assuming for a moment the character lives out the week, which I doubt. Adam can do guest bits with Brooke pinch hitting. And Skye can always come back, if RC only would - you can say Rae was high and had no idea who was the father.

You could do these things, and I can see why PP would; I just don't think the characters are worth the effort. They failed 3 times with Colby and she represents very little with most of her family gone. Hayley mostly worked because of Kelly Ripa's personality and the times she got to play good story with Adam, and I guess Hayley/Mateo (ugh).

I will say if they bring Olivia Birkelund back as Arlene then I'd want a Hayley recast. I miss seeing her on soaps. She was just dynamite as Arlene. And you could bring in Tim too, since she was his aunt (sort of).

I like the idea of the Courtlandts and I never understood bringing on this boring Caleb character. I don't know why people are adverse to bringing back Nina and why it has to be Cliff who s not a Courtlandt. Petey was actually a win as a character, lots of people seemed to like him too. I tiotally forgot about Ross until I saw him on the Jenny and Greg wedding episode with Ellen at the Chateau.

Jumping back a couple of pages, with OLTL, Max and Gabrielle are the couple I enjoyed the most out of any couple that I ever saw on OLTL. So CarlD2 I agree with you on the heat issue. I haven't seen a couple on any soap in forever that was in that style.

I wouldn't be against bringing some Cortlandt characters back into the fold or even a Tyler or two if any exist. <sarcasm>

I didn't think he was that hot....lol...charming..eh...he was a dud as an actor. So no to him on another soap....lol

Tell me about it. He is like gum stuck on the bottom of your shoe that won't go away. He is one of the reasons AMC just died on ABC.

      Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.

      I figured because Kate received her cancer treatment at the hospital that she decided to “give back” by being on the board.

      Y&R: Old Articles

      Someone posted years ago that they remember Pamela Peters (Peggy) was having some sort of issues behind the scenes during the rape storyline and barely participated onscreen when it played out. Trish Stewart (Chris) seemed to carry most of the storyline along with Dick DeCoit (Ron) and David Hasselhoff (Snapper). I think the poster also mentioned that Anthony Hererra (Jack) said that Pamela Peters one day looked into the camera and exclaimed she didn't know what she was doing and walked out of the scene.

      Yes! I'm not at your point of not rooting for the Duprees, but they really need to tone down the self-righteousness. Some of the things coming out of these ladies' mouths is out of pocket considering all the skeletons in their own family's closet.

      Kat is still a privileged elitist. She hated Eva on sight because Eva didn’t bow her head to her immediately and continued to treat Eva like a stain on her overpriced shoes. I’d love to know if Laura kissed her ass and kissed the ring properly and knew her place below Kat in the general hierarchy.    While Eva has been deserving of most of the consequences she’s been reaping, the Dupree women can take several hundred seats with the way they behave towards others. The hypocrisy and posturing irks me more than anything else and it’s the same thing that irks me about all other prominent soap families who can do no wrong in their own eyes.   I’m not really rooting for any of these assholes except maybe Eva (who is by default the smallest [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] on this show), but I’m rooting against the Dupree family (except Nicole - she’s awesome) in general and I’m not sure that’s the goal of the showrunners.

      Kristian probably had a high 'Q' score-that seemed to mean a lot in those days. FC always brought unknowns in for the young cast, so her Days probably had little to do with it-just something that they thought might help. The producers probably had no idea who she was, but that 'Q' score would have been a factor. Otherwise she was just a pretty, competent actress as Ana Alicia, Mary Kate McGeehan, Kate Vernon etc had been.

      Finally caught up. I was really torn by Friday's episode. Naomi and Jacob were way too invested on who performed this surgery on June being she's someone they barely know. Also, this is a hospital in the DMV, a densely populated area with well-staffed hospitals. There's only one qualified doctor in all of the DMV? Oh no, not that doctor! Only Dr. McBride will do? It was strange.  Can we stop making the Casino a meeting point. First, Eva and Mona crossing paths and now Dani/Pamela/Doug/Joey. These folks don't seem like they just hit up the casino on a random Tuesday. Especially, one that is supposed to be some shady, seedy backroom. They need to end this casino stuff and repurpose that set. Ted and Dana read sooooo differently this episode. Why was Ted out here inviting this woman that just blew up his life, clearly is unhinged, and took 50k to a birthday dinner???? Did I miss something? His reaction towards Dana also did not seem angry or in disgust like the previous Ted. It didn't feel right. Whatever Bill was doing with his eyes when at OG's with Smitty.  The Good: Anita getting some story is great. Love to have her doing more.  Leslie is wild. She really just had Eva to hold onto Ted-ddy. Calling her daughter a whole souvenir and not giving 2 about her birthday. Although, I'm wondering if Eva's real birthday is actually earlier and that's why Dana/Lesile is so nonchalant about this date. She gave Eva a cupcake some time back and I'm wondering if that's to tie to this idea that Kat and Eva are twins.  Smitty is growing on me. He's got something to do.  I didn't love some bigger things in this episode, but there were some small things that really were so nice to see. Loved seeing Dani calling Doug over to join them. It really gave off this feeling that they know each other well and it was a bit playful like you would do with a friend. Similarly, I liked how Kat and Naomi and Jacob played off each other. "I was actually asking my hubsand." It gave off authentic family banter vibes.

      Jane Wyman had health struggles and was written out after the first few episodes. IIRC, she went against medical advice to film the final episodes of the show. I guess they likely did think Alicia was just there as some kind of eye candy for viewers and could be replaced. As mentioned by several people in the CBS primetime soap threads, Moonves and others brought a real culture of misogyny to the shows in the mid/late '80s where every woman was seen as replaceable. I didn't realize how many times Wyman's health had been a factor in the last 4-5 seasons of the show. Here is one example. www.falconcrest.org | Deutscher FALCON CREST - Fanclub / German FALCON CREST Fan Club
