It's hysterical how so many people take speculation and rumors and make them facts. Most times, there are 2 sides to a story. Admittedly I am a big JFP fan. Met and spoke to her at length 1 time; private messaged her several times on Facebook and I do know 4 people who were office staff at SB and GL while Jill was there and 1 of them who followed her to GH. That's my history with JFP.

Kudos to Beverlee McKinsey! She stood up for what she believed. I've met Beverlee too, briefly when she was on GL. I was scared of her because of a tough reputation but she was a true sweetheart. But I think this so called hatred between the 2 is probably exaggerated. By that time, Bev seemed ready to stop working regularly. She admitted that she took a GH job in '94 for the health insurance and then she never worked regularly again so I think that if JFP was the only problem, Bev could have found somewhere else to work, had she so desired. But she didn't seem to want to work any longer, anywhere. In her infamous TV Guide interview, I didn't take it at all to be personal against Jill. Just to TPTB in general that someone beat them at their own game. Bev wanted to talk to Jill, but she was on vacation. I think that if it were truly personal against Jill, Bev would have just said screw it and not tried to talk to her before her last day. And didn't Bev write Jill a note? I know that if I hated my boss and could leave my job with no repurcussions, I surely wouldn't try to contact them or write them a note. I'd just think screw you,I'm outta here!

Robin Strasser is mentioned here. But no one has mentioned that on Robin's hotline, in her own words a few years ago, Robin admitted that she lied in the press about a situation with Jill. Robin publically apologized to Jill. I somehow don't think that anyone forces Robin to do anything so I do believe Robin when she said that she lied about Jill.

AT was unhappy with how JFP dealt with other actors, as well as where she was taking the Emily/Zander story and vocalized it fairly loudly to her. She was willing to stay on, but only wanted to sign a one-year deal while JFP wanted a longer commitment. That's how I've always heard it.

Cureentl its Jennifer Johns who was Y&R's costume designer for decades was FIRED BY JFP for her own FOJ. Jill really is a nasty vicious one at firing. I feel bad for Jackie she was fired by Jill during Christmas on her 30th anniversary and barely seen again. During the Monty/Riche ERA Bobbie was always frontburner and Jackie got amazing stories. Jill has always managed to help her friends but the ones she doesn't like they are out on there asses. JFP really is a witch hey the woman always finds a job and gets work LMAO. Whoever wuld have thought Jill would be crowed the highest paid EP job in the biz at the number 1 soap ousting a Bell. She is a cunning, tough bitch who had made it in the industry.

No.

If you're going to say JFP has been harmful to Y&R, you're going to have to make better arguments than "she fired the costume designer" or "she ousted a Bell". As Alvin said, Y&R has needed a new costume designer for over a decade, and this particular Bell (by marriage) was the worst thing ever to happen to the show and should never have had the job in the first place.

Aside from the music, I can't fault JFP for any of the changes she's made to the show.

Yeah for the most part Y&R's wardrobe has actually improved even though they need to stop buying some of that stuff in sample sizes. But wardrobe on Y&R for the past few years has looked downright tacky.

I wish she would fire the hair and makeup people next. They have been hit and miss for awhile now.

      I've always wondered who was writing the projections from February to July. And why they weren't credited as head writer.

      If Barbara overdosed on pills then I definitely think it could possibly be construed as an accident. Otherwise then I don't really see it. It could also be likely that Barbara was just simply forgotten about and faded into obscurity because she was left behind and it was the other Articulettes that became famous.  Also what I meant by earth-shattering was that Ted and Nicole's marriage is on the rocks and Martin, Kat and Nicole still haven't really fully forgiven Ted for what happened. Then again, maybe I'm just being a bit hyperbolic. I mean, Nicole still hasn't even decided whether or not she wants to file for divorce and actually I'm kind of surprised that subject has not been broached upon yet.

      Once again, Giovanni Mazza killed it. He's got a bright future ahead of him, and hopefully GH doesn't lose him as quickly as they lost Nick Chavez. And once again, Emma spoke for all of us. They really need to establish a stronger friendship between her and Trina. And, I'd find that the custody battle would be a lot more interesting if it involved characters that I actually liked  Clearly, the WSB needed a new honeypot, and who better than Joss

      Schenkel was a disaster despite being a nice guy. The show was doing fine I thought (and watched live) under Culliton/Tomlin but Schenkel dismantled the writing team and proceeded to oversee a merry go round for several months until they brought in Sam Hall to collaborate with Spencer.  Here's the writer changes from the AW homepage (fairly accurate too although Tomlin remained on the head writing team at least through mid February if not a little longer) Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin, July 1984 - January 1985 (In 1984, with Linda Elstad, Joe LeSueur, Lloyd Gold, Gary Tomlin, David Cherrill, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, Judith Donato, Samuel D. Ratcliffe, Frances Myers, Roger Newman, Judith Pinsker, Cynthia Saltzman, and Warren Hite) (In 1985, with David Cherill, Carolyn Demoney Culliton, Judith Donato, Samuel D. Ratcliffe, Frances Myers, Roger Newman, Judith Pinsker, and Stephen Wardwell) Gary Tomlin, January 1985 (With Samuel D. Ratcliffe and Gillian Spencer; Richard Culliton, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, Judith Donato, David Cherill, Judith Pinsker, Frances Myers, Roger Newman, Lloyd Gold, Cynthia Saltzman, and Elizabeth Levin) No headwriter, February 1985 - July 1985 (With Samuel D. Ratcliffe, Gillian Spencer, Caroline Franz, David Cherrill, Judith Donato, Richard Culliton, Fran Myers, Roger Newman, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, James W. Kearns, Elizabeth Tooker, Peter Brash, and Ted Kubiak) Sam Hall and Gillian Spencer, August 1985 - March 1986 (In 1985 with Jan Hartman, Elizabeth Tooker, Peter Brash, David Cherill, Richard Culliton, Frances Myers, Roger Newman, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, Todd Kessler, and Eric Rubinton) (In 1986 with Peter Brash, David Cherrill, Barbara A. Morgenroth, Fran Myers, Roger Newman, Carolyn DeMoney Culliton, Todd Kessler, Elizabeth Wallace, Donna Pode, John Boni, Penelope Koechl, Elizabeth Tooker, and Richard Culliton)

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      Finally got to the Thorne switchover in 1989. OG Thorne's drunk acting in his last episode was pretty awful. For a second I wondered if the performance was so bad Bill Bell felt he had no choice but to recast ASAP....until I remembered he was fine with letting Terri Ann Lynn vacantly shriek her lines for 2 1/2 years with no problem. Crazy that if SON was around in 1989 there might be a debate if Ron Moss was the 2nd best Forrester actor, rather than being the worst actor in daytime. Lauren Koslow finally had some decent material in August/September. Seeing Margo briefly interact with Stephanie & Caroline made the actress come alive. It seemed when the show started, she was there to mix it up with the power players, instead of being stuck on the B team with Kristin, Clarke & Mick (was the casting notice for this part a Kale Brown-type doing a Christopher Walken impression?). Anyway, the way Bill Bell wrote for her makes one appreciate James E. Reilly. Bobbie Eakes was a very pleasant surprise. I haven't had too much exposure to the character before. She was confident and watchable from day 1. I guess Rocco and Nick fell in love and left LA together offscreen.

      I wonder if Anita stole the spotlight at Barbara’s funeral in the same way Ms. Ross did when she arrived to Florence Ballard’s funeral in this over the top ensemble with cameras focused on her.

      Justice for Tracy, Sharon and Barbara! Anita is the real villian and she shouldnt be painted as the victim. The Articulettes was the dream of Barbara who founded them only for Anita to steal the group and throw them away when she was done using them for her come up.One of the worse things you can do to a person is ruin their reputation and Anita was complicit in having Tracy and Sharon basically trashed and blackballed, thus ruining any chance they had of bouncing back   I wondr if the public think Barbara's death was an accident but the sad reality is, she is likely forgotten as an unknown footnote in the Articulettes origin story.   Anita didnt do anything that would warrant jail time but she should suffer. I hope this story is really a redemption one for Sharon and Tracy whom have their names cleared and they are able to be celebrated and have their accomplishments to music history recognized on a grand stage. Right now, this has all been about elevating Anita's own self and reliving her on glory. She needs to take a back seat and do right by those women and honor Barbara's legacy. She's a part of black history and Anita erased her

      -- Good to see the (wading) pool set return, but they really need to do something with the static landscape outside those large windows. It looks so fake. -- Joss showing up at the pool because she's "working with" Dalton is all kinds of hilarious. Te WSB is special LOL -- Was Joss late for her court appearance because she was strutting around the pool in high heels and a bikini? Make it make sense. -- Alexis moves from one "She can do 30 years for this" storyline to another. What a lawyer. -- Maurice Benard had another really bad day. He's clearly reading cue cards in every scene and spends a ton of time looking at the ground. When everyone in the Gio story is making a pilgrimage to visit him like he's the Godfather, that's a problem. -- I am glad that Gio is going to the pool tomorrow.

      Holy hell, this episode... I had a lot of theories about what Anita's secret entailed, but I didn't think it involved this. What happened to Barbara was extremely tragic. Is that why Sharon is so angry with Anita? Because she basically holds her responsible for Barbara taking her own life? Wait, does Sharon even know? She has to know, right?  I can't even imagine the kind of ramifications this is going to have on the entire town, let alone Anita's family. What are they going to think of her when they find out what really happened between Anita and the other Articulettes? What is Vernon going to think? I doubt he's going to be too happy about what Anita did? I wonder if Anita is going to feel so filled with guilt and shame over what she did that she might even attempt to take her own life. People think that Ted cheating on Nicole and having an illegitimate child was earth-shattering? I think this is going to be even more so, or maybe on the same level as Martin's secret, (but we won't even know for sure until it's eventually revealed, whenever that is).
