As alexisfan explained earlier, Jesse and JR's spots were switched for at least one set of photos. I didn't say they were being paired by romantic couples at all, as well. It was mentioned that placement was likely random, and I said they're at least being paired by family with a few exceptions therefore it wasn't a reach to say some placement is from initial storyline drawings (romantic, enemies, teams, high school grouping).There may be no storyline indication in placement, I'll give you that - but the placement was clearly not completely random (families).

As for Jesse's movement...

It's not too soon, really. A lot of things tend to be pre-determined before they start. The writers have come up with ideas. Those ideas can certainly change and probably will change determined on how things and chemistry play on-screen.

Finally caught up on this thread! So many thoughts... Jane McIntyre DOES strongly resemble Vincent Irizarry. I'd love for David to have more family in Pine Valley, so I'd welcome the addition of a sister. I don't think she has to be a twin - maybe Charles Hayward had a one night stand or something before he killed himself, and the woman got pregnant?

Also, if someone's getting naked on AMC, I'd put money on Heather Roop (Jane). If you do a google image search for her with safe search off, you'll get a screen-cap of her completely nude with some oddly-dressed guy doing her doggie style. It's from some film she did a few years back.

I didn't recognize Jordan Price with the darker hair, but she looks good. I can't wait to learn more about Celia.

The actor playing Peter Cortlandt actually does look a bit like James Mitchell through the eyes, so I can see why he was cast. I hope they haven't completely done away with Petey's geeky side.

Lindsay Hartley looks kind of sickly in that pic with Jordi and Vincent. I wonder if Cara's cancer is back?

If Marissa is dead, I'm crossing several areas in the hope that it wasn't JR getting his target. They can write that she was chasing after JR in her car and drove off a cliff by accident if they want her dead.

JR's already nearly killed Babe, Kendall, Spike, Jamie and Bianca by accident or on purpose. I'm sure there are more I forgot about.

Maybe she can play Trey with a sex change? Trey was/is David's brother.

I remember that. The person actually wrote that letter to, I believe, disgruntled fans, outlining all of the "amazing" things they'd done to try to appeal to viewers and that it wasn't their fault the shows' ratings were sh!t and they were cancelled. They gave us Shop the Soaps! They did Fun in the Sun weekends! They sold perfume at Wal-Mart! They added Latino characters to attract that telenovela audience! I remember she was quite proud of all that nonsense.

I just watched the 2002 episode where Kendall and Bianca both go to court for Bianca's drinking and driving. The storyline in that ep is bookended by scenes of Chris, Erica, and Bianca at Erica's old house (including the cliffhanger scene of Trey preparing to set Bianca's room on fire), and GOD, if we could get a set that looks half as open and spacious as that house, I'd be one happy camper. We know Erica will be back as soon as SuLu can do it, and Bianca'n'em are gonna need a place to stay, so might as well say that Erica bought a house in the meantime and Bianca's staying there while Erica is out of town.

Okay, so far we have...

Bianca - scared her off a balcony

Kendall, Spike - threw a bunch of construction material on her thinking she was Babe

Babe - drugs

Jamie - lead pipe beating

Amanda - ran her over with a car

Dixie - shot her in the arm while aiming for Krystal

The homicidal streak needs to end.

    • Same This show can be so frustrating to watch because of the awful one sided writing.
    • It was quite interesting. Drew is seriously grossing me out. I know they'll never get rid of CM, but this brewing up to a good murder mystery.
    • But their scenes are always fun...given whom HW name is on the top that day.
    • I had to hit FF the minute he showed up on the screen. It's too much.
    • Oh, yes! It's Nurse Ball Week, isn't it?   Lord give me strength...or apparently a good catfight going by the above.    
    • It's still dragged though. Nina and Carly's fight was good, and although it was intensely weird, I actually paid attention to the Curtis and Drew scenes.
    • Dante STFU!! Gawd this Gio hate is so forced. Dante blame your idiot son! He's responsible for landing in the hospital.
    • I think Steve and Chase (with Adair) are dropped fairly quickly into John Whitsell's run as EP. I didn't think Tomlin wanted those characters out especially given how much effort was put into resetting Chase, a character Tomlin didn't create, and Adair by placing them at the paper, testing Adair with Ryder, and then having Chase discover Estelle was alive. Steve got an actual onscreen goodbye, but Chase and Adair later go an offscreen exit to San Francisco or somewhere else in California.  They chem tested Steve Kendall and Suzi in September, 1983, just as Elizabeth Swankhammer started as Suzi. Steve saved Suzi drowning in a lake on location. I felt that Suzi / Steve was meant to be the post-Suzi/Warren story with Stephanie possibly manipulating Suzi and Warren to keep both Warren / Wendy and Steve / Suzi apart. I assumed the plan was (at some point) Stephanie / Lloyd. Or it should have been.  I don't think Bela should have lasted beyond the circus story. If I had to sit through some sort of triangle, I would want to see it end with Bela dead. Even in a bad recycled plot, but ultimately I don't think Bela had any real story potential and should never have been paired with either woman. Under Mayer/Braxton, Sarah became more conservative and judgemental over the course of the last month or so of their run. I don't think Tomlin's version was as layered from what I remember.  @DRW50 I think Conroy lasted a full year June, 1984 - July, 1985. I always assumed he left, but that was just speculation. Phillip Brown's Steve just seems to have disappeared.      Cook played Lloyd's first wife and Steve's mother, who was named something other than Estelle, in a flashback sequence to reveal the secret that Martin was Steve's father. She had a name other than Estelle at that point. This would have been fall of 1983. 
    •   Vanessa is bordering on nasty ho territory. Normally I agree with you @Soapsuds but not on this. Dani opened up to Andre about her insecurities since the end of her marriage, and Andre listened and supported her. Their booty call hook ups are so turning into love.
