Members Sapounopera Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 It would be very interesting to see Jill turn into the Kay she first met in the seventies. Married to a younger man, bitter, drunk and mean to everybody. Involved in a triangle with her husband (a young lawyer) and a beautiful assistant (perhaps her niece Jennifer Foster) Someone should rewrite her paternity though. It's insane.

Members KMan101 Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 I agree. That would be great. And yes, please someone rewrite her paternity. She should be a Foster. Period. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 I wouldn't even touch Jill's paternity at this point, just drop it and forget it ever happened. And totally ignore that they've made her a f.ucking Fenmore, and I would hardly have her share scenes with the interestingly irrelevant Lauren.

Members KMan101 Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 Im all for them just ignoring it and eventually just saying shes a Foster again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 13, 2012 Members Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'll go along with another retcon for Jill's true paternity as long as it ends with the revelation that she's really Bill Foster's daughter by a mistress or ONS. To me, that's the only explanation that ever would have made sense under the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm only aboard a retcon of Jill's paternity if it's done upon her return. As if, Jill walks into the Chancellor mansion, Lauren's having tea with Katherine and Jill hands her the keys to Fenmores, a big cheque and declares that, while in Australia, she discovered her true parentage. Then, YES, let's have Jill become what I think she was meant to be from Bill Bell's mind: the next Katherine...needn't be a weak drunk like our Kay, but bitter and raging and desperate to be loved, only to be scorned by her younger friend...and then to seek revenge and feud. Brilliant. I've always believed the point of Kay/Jill was for the storyline to go on till one of them died, for the other to realise what a sick, symbiotic relationship it had been and that with the death of one, the other had lost a half of themselves...I'm no fanfic writer, but I have a scene in my mind of the day Katherine dies and it's EPIC for Jill.

Members y&r_fan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 However unpopular this may be, if Jill's parentage is retconned again I want her to go back to being Katherine's daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CSF Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Umm... yeah, no way, its just not okay at all! Jill Foster Abbott needs to be the Jill Foster Abbott Bill Bell created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Exactly. Jill being Katherine's daughter decimated both characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Jill and Kay being mother and daughter was something I had always thought would happen. I'm just surprised it took 30 years. I think it added a nice new dimension to their relationship. IIRC, Bill Bell was still Senior EP when the mother/daughter reveal happened so wouldn't he have had to approve the storyline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 The only dimension it made to their relationship was that it destroyed it. Bill Bell was in the throws of Alzheimers when that storyline aired. His title was in name only. It was Jack Smith's storyline from top to tail.

Members Sapounopera Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Having Jill THINK that she is Kay's daughter, be there for her during a stroke and then discover that she was wrong and keep up with the lie for Kay's sake would be much better. Then when Mrs C discovers the truth she becomes furious with Jill and a new chapter begins. But watching them having tea together and Jill calling her "Mother" was horrible.The Foster part of Jill made her much more interesting and connecting her to Lauren was the weirdest idea ever.

Members CSF Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 It was in title only. It happened 2 years before he died. He already had Alzheimer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Paternity stories with 60 year old characters have always been ridiculous to me. What's the point? Jill is too damn old to have her paternity changed so many damn times in such a short span of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
