Mortgage gotta get paid and lenders don't care if the check comes via Brante or Mackles! And it would appear that V has lost all of her veto power. However, I'm gonna wait and see. While I won't be laughing at Brenda because this is a crock, I'll will be dying in that when V has to play ball its in such a heinous way. I've always hated the way she dictated stories!

For my friends here who are Brenda lovers, I hope for your sake this is false because this is not good soap. This is "throwing a character under a bus for a pet" soap.

Hopefully with this makeover Sabrina will at least look more age compatible to Patrick.

Her hair has looked better lately. I'll give 'em that.

Man, Brenda looks to be totally trashed with this spoiler. I'm not even her biggest fan. I'll wait and see for sure but just ... I guess it's Ron's "soapy goodness" at it's finest.



And said character appears very sporadically (I know, he's techincally guesting) but then today bugged me because they don't use him much, yet call him to film one episode where he spends the entire episode explaining to Lucy about how he won't be in town (I.E. won't be used for the next month). It just all felt so LOL to me when I really thought about it. I'm glad they at least addressed his upcoming 'we're not using you right now' disappearance.

I became an even bigger Finola fan after seeing her on the show. She just has a great personality. I thought this whole bit was cute:

 

How come the cake that Katie had for them looked better than the one they had on set?

Well, I was giving RC my unwarranted shadow of a doubt but... just like my darling Andrea says, mortgages (and face jobs) gotta get paid. Oh, well. If it happens, I'll "cackle" to myself... I dislike, with ferocious strength, almost everyone that would be involved and/or affected by this rumor.

Well, true.

I had a rant ready and forgot about the

. LOL.

EDIT:

LOVED Finola on 'Katie'. Such a great personality. It's also nice to see Kelly with a lot more life in her lately, honestly. She seems to look very happy and healthy and looks GREAT.

Just watched this week's 4 GH episodes back to back, and all I have to say is, wow! This soap in on top of its game. There were so many moments that pulled at my hear strings (Rachel Ames, Elizabeth and Nikolas, the Quartermaine "Reunion).

But I am also so happy that they are giving the returning vets substantive scenes. I loved the Jax/Brenda fight today. It felt like 1996 all over again. I love how excited everyone is to see Bobbie: her daughter, Maxie, her best friends. I love that Lucy, Kevin, and Mac get so much time to be old friends again. I am so impressed that these guys who during the Guza/Phelps days would havebene glorified extras with throw away lines are actually in the action.

Only down-side really has been Luke and Laura. The acting in their scenes has been so stiff. There is no feeling of great romance. It has been so contrived. I don't know if it is the storyline, the writing, or the acting, but this has not been the Luke and Laura reunion I thought it was going to be.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
