Finola's performance is odd to me - part of it is down to the usual poor editing which assumes viewers have ADD. The only part I was into was when she was watching Anna and Emma. Tristant Rogers did a good job overall, sometimes it felt fake, sometimes not.

I thought KA did a decent job today. I have to admit I laughed a little every time Duell kept pursing his lips. It still seems like Starr is an afterthought in the story.

For some reason this Kate looked like Barbara Garrick today.

The Patrick/Epiphany scene was the highlight of the episode. Not sure why more care was taken on this than on parents mourning their child, but maybe they're big Sonya Eddy fans.

I thought I was the only one who thought of Vimal when Helena mentioned her discreet laboratory, lol.

Really loved this episode, overload of emotional scenes so it was tough to take everything in at once, esp. Robert learning about Robin's death. On a side note, Patrick/Epiphany really got to me.

You know what I'd love to see if Ron decides to bring the Qs back to their full glory? Brook Lynn being recast with Amanda Setton (formerly of OLTL/recurring on GG) in the role. While Adrienne Leon was fine as BK, I much preferred her as Colleen 2.0 on Y&R. Setton would definitely breathe new life into the Qs as BK, IMO.

From KA's Twitter

Sole fans-Trust me,I LOVE&will miss Starr&Cole.But don't blame @carlivatiron ,Not his fault that both of our Cole actors r unavailable lol

I know this is a tragic storyline,but it's VERY well written.There're great obstacles&triumphs ahead for Starr to encounter. #sry4starrsloss

Thank you for being constantly supportive. I just wanted to help ease the pain by telling you "business" wise why Cole isn't..well alive.lol

There was a perfectly valid reason to have Cole offcamera without killing him.

I don't expect her to say anything else, she's just toeing the line, but the only reason to kill the character off is shock value.

Uhhh..., If they wanted Cole, they'd have Cole. But that would be a transplant story opposed to an integrated one. I don't think it has anything to do with either Cole's availability. They just want to put Starr with Michael, as simple as that.

Yea but they could've done a triangle for a while and had Cole lose or something or go back to jail. Besides, Van Hughes made it sound like Cole wasn't dead. It's not like KA can flat out say that. Interesting she didn't say anything about Hope, though. That's where I have the biggest issue with it.

I think Cole dying and her having a new love of her life as an adult vs. her teen years with Cole is supposed to juxtapose Robin with Stone and Patrick, especially since they both grew up on their respective shows.

If that was the idea then I don't know how well it came across, as the two stories seemed so distant from each other. To someone who doesn't know her, Starr would just be nothing other than a twit who fell down and is Michael's latest salvation.

I agree that they definitely could have done a triangle at first, but a. that's probably not "shocking" enough of an entrance in their eyes, they want to start with a "bang", and b. here's where I can believe that the actor wasn't available and they opted in any event not to recast. I too believe that he and Hope will be back, I just wonder what kind of cockamamie story they'll come up with.

Just my theory given the timing of Robin's demise and Starr's entrance

Oh I'm sure they always planned on the stunt but if I were to defend RC's choice to do so, I would've said "It's not like he could do a triangle since Van was doing Broadway."

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
