Her last two years at the show were pretty much a mess (as well as other eras she's given), but I do think she helps give the show at its best, even with all her darkness, some sense of heart and community which I find lacking in RC's writing. For all her love of rape, she also usually plays it as high tragedy, unlike RC's comic highjinks, which sits with me better. And I think her pacing is much more consistant than Ron--Ron at his best has REALLY great ending moments to stories--when everything comes together you usually have a week of strong episodes there--but he isn't too far removed from JER in how he paces his stories (albeit much quicker)--he sets something up, then has a middle where they basically rinse and repeat the same scene over and over until the big reveal--in her best years (usually when guided by a strong EP or consultant), McTavish really did a good job at playing all the beats of a story.

I do, too. If PP were to bring back ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE just to tell the same kind of far-fetched stories that got them cancelled in the first place, then what would have been the point?

I like the OLTL castlist, except for the overwhelming whiteness (yes, I know they've only listed people who were previously on the show and are returning). I have to be honest if it's just an online version of the show, with POC playing second fiddle to the beige brigade I'm not going to watch.

I think people are overreacting a bit to the Destiny story. Granted, these aren't characters I know or care about and I admit it does have a bit of a Jerry Springer vibe to it but in the end it will come down to the acting and the writing. Maybe there's some way to turn it into compelling drama. People are getting worked up, positively and negatively, over what is basically a couple of paragraphs of trashy fanfic.

Or it can turn into a massive wave of misogyny and racism which pretty much brings us back to where we are now.
