I just think the character was doomed from the start. Sharon was the 3rd Dawn and there would be one more after her. For a show that rarely recasted characters, it was bizarre that this character kept getting recasted. It was probably better if the character never existed although I'm always up for another Quartermaine.

I don't care what happens on YR (outside of Tyler naked), but if SB coming to YR in any way shape or form gets MM the hell out of there, I will limit my

Cartini hate to 50% of my posts!

Case is lucky to still be employed and that Jill cares enough about the character to give her another love interest, let alone in the form of a very popular actor. Sharon Collins has left the building and that miserable slut needs to be written out!

Because Steve Burton is bloated and old and Khalil would look like a child compared to him. Not to mention neither one can act and I'm sure they would lack chemistry. And I also doubt Burton would join this show as a recast of a character who is one four times a month. Cane is irrelevant. I'm also positive JFP will have him make a big splash as his very own character and he will consult on how he should be written for.

Don't get me started on my Decker and Dawn love. I will never forgive Monty for killing off Dawn and sending Decker away. That woman was a blight on the show during that era.

As for Burton, I doubt anyone is consulting with him on anything. Hell, might not even still be on show in a year's time.

Indulging Geary's ego by letting him play Bill Eckert and then, proceeding to shove the horrible Eckerts down our throats. I will never the new young nurses calling someone a horndog and Monty boasting in an interview that she was updating the language. Horndog? What decade was she referring to? The only things that she did that I liked was finally getting Robert and Anna together, introducing Mac, and Paul and Jenny's romance. Other than those things, she practically destroyed the show in one year, the ratings already dismal sank like a rock.

If somehow MM gets the boot, he gets a tweet from me for sure! I don't care where SB goes, but I'd love to see his presence piss MM off. MM has been

shilling Sham for a long time and dares anyone to not like that revolting duo, so I welcome anything or anyone that shows his ass the door. Jill will do it too! She already made a recent good move in the hiring department by upping R Williams to contract. Time for her to get rid of that ego driven POS!

This new hiring is symptomatic of JFP's modus operandi. You know, a lot of posters I love and respect on here were pleased that Phelps got hired for Y&R, while I was extremely nervous. I still defer to them because I really trust their opinion and respect their viewpoints, but in my limited viewing of the shows that JFP has produced (AW, GH -- I exclude SB because Jill set the template there rather than tried to change it) have always been about Jill's TASTE, what JILL wants. Certainly not about what the viewing audience wants or deserves. Case in point: AW, which became some weird hybrid show with opening credits ripped from ER. Indeed, it became so hybrid-y that it seemed to fall between two stools and stand for nothing in particular. Everything that made AW stand out, different, special, stunning seemed to dissipate. It's very brand identity became mush.

Now when I watch Y&R, I worry that this show, too, will be leeched of its core identity. Not that she will kill the show -- MAB already did that. But those so-called little things (which are actually very big things to me) like sweeping camera shots, swelling background music, film noiresque lighting and fine, flower-filled sets will be jettisoned in favour of "modernism." Because JFP's take on modern right now actually looks very dated, very 90s and kind of boring.

I still hold out hope that Jill will surprise me and turn this show, slowly, steadily around. There are some improvements, definitely. No-one is rooting harder for this lady to succeed than me. But I wish she'd do a bit more research first on what constitutes the Y&R brand before hiring her friends and dumping everything, like only she knows what it means to produce a modern, forward-looking show? Nothing about Y&R right now feels like either of these things particularly, although Angell Conwell on contract is a small step in the right direction.

As for Steve Burton, I don't even hate him as an actor as much as others do. I just worry that this guy is too ABC, too GH for Y&R. Y&R should not have to bend just to accommodate his acting style or his attempts at an Emmy reel. If he comes on as a mob assassin, I swear I will have a fit. I am willing to accept him if he's willing to challenge himself by taking another role and working hard at it. If it means MM's nose is put out of joint than so much the better (even though I think Shadam are one of the few couples on this show to actually generate chemistry, wrong as that is).

    • Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has cross-referenced Spauldingfield's undated episodes with the German playlists? An angel has been uploading to the Soap Vault and it would be great to be able to date all those episodes. I have access to rename them, if anyone has a list.

    • It’s sad that all these fabulous soap writers who truly understand the craft are dead/going to die soon. I wonder if there will ever be a resurgence of writers who can carry on their legacy one day.

    • It's almost comical that it's okay and it's appropriate for you of all people to post Drake/John clips. Do you have no remorse at all?
    • 1991 included a segment "They Started On Soaps". 1991 included a Lifetime Achievement Emmy to P&G 1997 included a tribute to Irna Phillips. 1997 included a tribute to GL & its 60th anniversary.

    • BTG is fire!!! It has definitely found it's footing and has exceeded my expectations.  Wednesday's episode and the scene with Dani & Chelsea was everything. I wish my 13yo self could have seen a scene like that.  Dana/Leslie is absolutely nuts, but I love her. TMG, is just amazing, as is AM. All of the cast is improving and settling in.  I can't wait to see how all the stories play out.

    • GH 1976 Pt 5 Cam portrays the betrayed-and-long-suffering husband magnificently, telling Diana that emotional infidelity is as bad as the other kind. He then broodingly tells Diana that if he’s found gone over the balcony of the penthouse, it won’t have been suicide—Leslie will have pushed him. Or, more likely, she would find a less obvious method. But he can handle both their problems, he assures Diana. He reaches for the phone and in moments arranges for a plum job offer for Peter as a psychiatric consultant at one of Cam’s West Coast companies, with a lucrative salary to go with it. When Diana assures him that Peter won’t accept the position, Cam insists that it’s up to Diana to see that he does, for the sake of her marriage. After a harrowing night with their patient, whose suicide attempt followed the loss of a baby, Leslie breaks down from both her patient’s agony and her own. But, as she tells Peter, she has to see Cam and end it now. She confronts him in the apartment and tells him that his actions were designed to take Laura from her and his complete disregard for her feelings have ended their marriage. Cam insists that he found Waverly out of love for her, which she doubts. But he  manages to convince her that he’ll sleep in the den, |so she won’t have to move to a hotel. He hopes this minor concession will give him time to make her realize what she’s about to give up. But in the morning he sees that she’s still adamant as she tells him things have to be his way or no way. Ironically, this is the day Men and Women Magazine hits the stands with their cover feature story “A Unique Medical Team,” with Leslie and Peter on the cover. Diana, badly upset at Peter’s overwhelming concentration on Leslie’s problems, commiserates with Cam, who points out that the article “makes them sound like they’re married!”  To Terri’s relief, Jeff is finally able to overcome his resentment of his brother and makes up with Rick. He reminds Rick that it is he, Jeff, who is the winner he has Monica, and she loves him. With Rick back on surgical service, Monica decides to specialize in surgery. Jeff is hurt when he learns that Steve has approved her transfer to surgical service, as he feels that Rick’s surgical success magnifies his own failure as a surgical candidate. To compensate, Jeff deliberately fondles Monica whenever Rick is around, as if to remind him that he won in the long run. But Rick can only suppress so much, and when Monica loses a young patient and cries in his arms, Rick kisses her with great passion and confesses he never stopped loving her and wanting her. Monica, in turn, explains that she fell in love with Jeff only out of her grief over Rick, and has never stopped loving him. Monica is frantic when Rick tells her they can’t hurt Jeff and he’s moving out of their apartment because he can’t sleep twenty feet from her and his brother without someday having the situation explode and destroying Jeff. Heather Grant, a young girl who followed a General Hospital intern to Port Charles after he told her he was a doctor on a singles’ cruise, sees the answer to her determination to “better herself” when she recognizes Peter from the magazine cover and learns that his wife has just lost her baby-sitter. With references her mother helped forge, Heather gets the job, and immediately she promotes a live-in position by claiming her mother will insist she go home otherwise. Peter, initially reluctant, comes to see the advantages and agrees. With her emotional problems solved, Audrey decides to accept her friends’ advice and look to the future. She goes to Steve’s office and tells him she loves him. To her joy, he replies, “I’ve always loved you, and never more than at this moment. And this time we’re going to live happily ever after.” But their happiness is shattered when, moments later, Steve falls down a flight of stairs and suffers an occipital skull fracture and internal injuries. Audrey,constantly at his bedside, knows she never stopped loving him but just didn’t realize it. Steve comes to after twenty-four hours, but finds he has no feeling in his legs and can’t move them. Dr. Marriner, chief of neurosurgery, finds that Steve has a fracture of the seventh thoracic vertebra and surgery is almost impossible due to the risk to the spinal cord. Explaining that these things sometimes heal themselves, he suggests that Steve accept confinement to a wheelchair for a year, to see what happens. Audrey optimistically insists that their wedding will go off as planned, but Steve informs her that he won’t marry her unless his full functions are restored, including his ability to perform sexually. Since Steve was a good friend of their father’s, Rick and Jeff’s relationship is totally restored in this  crisis, leaving Monica to feel that their closeness shuts her out. To keep them both close to her, Monica begs Rick to change his mind and not move out, but he assures her he’s not a masochist and won’t subject himself to more of this for anything. When none of her machinations can prevent Rick from leaving, Monica decides she’ll find him an apartment and set it up as a love nest for the two of them. Cam has to fly to New York, as embezzlement has been discovered in his corporate books, and Cam is shocked to learn that his right-hand man, Mac, is the culprit. When Cam fires him without severance or recommendation, Mac warns Cam that he will someday get his just reward. Cam, angry and bitter, arrives home to find Leslie packing to leave him for good. When he accuses her of never having been a real wife to him, Leslie retorts that he too is admitting there is no marriage. Furious, Cam informs her that she doesn’t respond to patience and gentleness, and then he rapes her. Afterward, he forces her down to the car and shoves her in, driving off toward their mountain retreat. When Leslie begs him to let her go, he tells her he never relinquishes what he owns.He explains he’s going to make her ‘into the kind of wife he wants and she will respond —in ways she never dreamed existed. When she asks  if rape is part of his instruction plans, he savagely replies, “If necessary.” In terror, Leslie grabs for the wheel, and they struggle as the car, out of control, crashes. Leslie is later found dazed and in shock, wandering in the woods. At the hospital she is able to remember enough coherently to send the police to the area. They find Cam dead in the wreckage at the bridge. When Peter tells her Cam is dead, Leslie immediately blames herself, claiming that she killed him. Peter reminds her that she was in the hands of an evil and dangerous man.
