From TVGuide's Soaps News:

Lesli Kay is a treasure and I hope that the powers that be at ATWT are smart enought to take this wonderfully talented actress back into the fold.

I'm sure Lesli Kay's farewell episode on BB as Felicia will be a real tissue-soaker!

I'll miss Lesli Kay, but in a way, I'm glad that they show is following through with their plans to kill off Felicia. I mean, who really, really thought that it would happen?

I have enjoyed LK's Felicia immensely ... I just never cared for LK as Lois on GH (the only show I saw her in). IMO and storywise Felicia does have to die. To have her do otherwise would be incredible and too unrealistic since we've been told her colon cancer has spread to her liver and stomach ... no one survives that prognosis. The story is a good one and well-written and LK has hit her scenes out of the ballpark with SF, JW, and JMc. Felicia before was never that prominent or important of a character and her last appearance (with the original actress) fell flat. At least she's going out in style.

Don't watch B&B and don't see why anyone does, with idiotic moves like this. They lure big name actors and actresses to the show and then axe within a year. ATWT should grab Lesli Kay back, or maybe another show, like DAYS or OLTL would grab her. She'd be a good Cassie re-cast on OLTL.

I'm glad they went for the good pay-off, even as a non-watcher of B&B.

I don't know about Leslie Kay as either Billie or Carly. Not sure she wouldn't be miscast.

Lesli Kay has been great on this show but I dont think she's all that that Id want to see ehr play recast to some of my favorite characters. I was never fond of her (hated her on ATWT and GH) but LOVED her here on B&B. Its a shame they are getting rid of her bc she has been a breath of fresh air

Leslie Kay is a phenominal talent and GH should be ashamed of how they treated her. I think she did well as Lois, but she would have been better as a new character (perhaps Lorenzo's lost love Sophie). B&B did a good job with her. They needed a powerhouse to handle the role and she's done it to perfection. I think she would be a great addition to OLTL as Cassie or AMC as either a recast of a character or a new one. Wouldn't it be great if she could be nominated for an Emmy for her role? I don't think she was, but it would be great if she could. I think the Daytime Emmy's should add a new category for short-term roles (like how Sharon Stone & William Shatner won an Emmy for their work on the Practice).

    • I realize I harp on this, but I think he spending is relevant.  She's not just buying new wigs. She's building a mansion, she's funding a sports complex, she's paying for operations for people she doesn't know, she's caring for Peaches, she's buying apartments. We saw ?her get ONE check for ONE million dollars. That's it. I may be wrong, but I thought they said she'd get a payment every 6 months. Regardless, she could not rule the roost on $1M, and the show is not doing a good job there. Pretending that doesn't matter? I can't do that.  All they had to do was add a couple lines about payouts and payments.  In other news, I would love to know just how much Anita was putting into that trust as well as what investment got her what has to be an incredible return.

    • I'm honestly surprised Nikki and Victor have not divorced yet... maybe their brief opening of the marriage did something for them.

    • It reminded me of what the Pollocks got away with all the time on THE DOCTORS: long ass flashbacks that don't really add anything to the scene except time.  Because, if you remove the flashback, what's left?  Monica finishes packing Alan's suitcase.  The end. Oh, well.  At least I got to see a young Patricia Elliott (ex-Renee, OLTL) in that Aim toothpaste commercial (not to mention, a shirtless James O'Sullivan (ex-Jeff, AMC; ex-Pete, OLTL; ex-Jerry, SOMERSET) in the commercial for One-a-Day vitamins, lol).
    • Well, I can't help but think it would've been written different with CB still there
    • I could've sworn FV let other people direct either here or at OLTL. I may be wrong. IIRC Kimberly is now very active directing multi-cam/sitcom work. I'd forgotten she even did Netflix's One Day at a Time.
    • IIRC MVJ said the million was just the first piece of what Leslie got or was already owed, something they did make explicit in dialogue but not too explicit. Still, I am past worrying about it. I do think they want 30-yo elder millennial Peaches in her Sophia Petrillo wig to be a point of pathos for Leslie. In theory I am fine with that, and don't dislike Peaches despite the jarring physical disconnect and need for a recast lol. But I do think they do a lot of B&B-style whizzing from Point A to Point C with Leslie on this kind of stuff - in one scene she is raising hell, in the next she is weeping over Peaches. There's very little transition to that sometimes that allows for the nuance, and that can be done much better and they can go much deeper with Leslie (and most characters). The newer/younger audience for the show may have less issue with this kind of quick change than we do.

       Thank you.   That was part of my reasoning as well. I think about the days of Kevin, Joey, and Jessica on OLTL or Lucky/Liz/Nik/Sarah/Emily on GH or the Last Blast Kids on DAYS or the Glow by Jabot kids, and it takes me back. Sure I started soaps due to the older cast with their divas, but I do like to see people around my age back then, too. Great memories.   So I love a good relatable teen tale. Bullying. Hormones for the Bad Boy. College choices and internal conflict. 
    • Thank you for the information.  I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released.  But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding.    I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it.  So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again.  She seemed troubled, to say the least.   
    • Boxer-briefs, huh?   Well...called it on Cane/Giggly Heffa hooking up so not surprised.
    • Do you have Addie’s first air date??
