I'm on my phone so I can't link stuff, but speaking of Lucie Arnaz, there's a hilariously scathing review of her one-woman musical review in the Lucy article over at findadeath.com. I posted it once on another message board and somebody said I was probably Robin Strasser, ha!

On YouTube, there's a video of Lucy and Elizabeth Ashley in a panel discussion chat show, I forget who's the host, and Lucy is so zero bullshit almost to the point of being rude/unsettling with Elizabeth.

It's nice to see Susan making the rounds to promote "La Lucci." I wish I could've met her during her signings last week. I need to pick up her book soon.
I'll try to watch the Locher Room with Michael Bruno this week. LGBTQ stories are given more priority now but it really was groundbreaking when AMC did their story.

I'm really happy I found this thread because I genuinely like reading everyone's POVs. My depth of knowledge spans the late 90s through Jan. 2007. I only watched here and there afterwards. The filming on random streets in Jersey and storytelling didn't inspire me to watch.
I really like how passionate the posts are from the 90s, 80s and even the 60s and 70s. I've always been interested in the Roger Thorpe era and seeing how he became this iconic character, if his trajectory was similar to Luke Spencer and Todd Manning. And I think there was Marian Crane story about a crossdresser.
As for the incestuous relationships, I wish the writers had shown restraint. Reva was with two sons and a father. As mentioned, Bill was with two sets of mother/daughter. Olivia was with Phillip, Alan and I think Gus. Cassie/Josh bothered me more than it should have. Same with Tony/Michelle. Someone should've said "Enough!"

I’ve been enjoying having characters pop up in the middle of the episode too. It adds an element of surprise when you didn’t really expect them to be on that day. Also, we are finally getting a good variety of sets again.. I will give credit where credit is due. The storylines itself are still absolute garbage but I will acknowledge minor improvements when I see them

Yes, Ray was really innocent. Martin was guilty but pinned it on Ray and Ray was sent to prison.
Tim Lawrence was Clare Marshall's husband before she married Jonathan McNeill. He died in a plane crash that Clare witnessed.
Well, there was a little ambiguity left even at the end of the storyline, but the consensus was that Frank's wheelchair slipped on the wet pavement and he went off the cliff in an accident.

French Fan is correct. Ned Holden, Clare Marshall and Jonathan McNeill were the only characters to make the transition from the old show. Ned, however, was only on the new show very, very briefly. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe his last episode was when he went to the airport as French Fan said. I would have to reread the scripts to make sure. But I know he was only in five or so episodes before he just disappeared.

I wonder if her timed presence is meaning to convey that she will be THE IMPALER? I will cry in shame if this becomes the revelation.

I understand why people like Isaiah, but he does nothing for me as a character. I find him boring and it's not really his fault. Obviously the writers don't care enough to develop him.
In theory I would say he and Jordan would make a good couple, but I feel like that would be a ticket straight off screen. At least Kerr can act and is a stronger scene partner for him.

A side of Isaiah for now. ;)

To think, I was happy that Jordan was about to have a life with Isaiah and now...le sigh.

That was unfortunately never played during Rauch, who cast her as a soccer mom louder Kim Hughes. This was done to make Annie EVIL, but those kids should have been more attached to Annie, and wondering why they can't see her and why everyone gets weird when Reva and Annie are together. I never liked that sacchraney sweet Marah as she was all MommieAnnie one day and then screeching when Annie approached her. Now if she was a manipulative little witch playing both sides I could get into it. As they got older I thought both kids should be annoyed and embarrassed by Reva and always go to their dad. Kim actually COULD play subtex and the at should have been her enduring sadness that she could not connect to those twoas she would like(which is being the center of attention at all times.)
