Doubt Sullivan's character will go nuts. I hear that when JFP didn't get the green light for Sully as Phyllis, she created Sage just for her. She'll be contract 2 weeks into the role.

No JFP wanted Gina Tognoni it was unanimous. It's no secret Gina's audition was given a standing ovation. JFP loves Kelly but Gina did better on her audition but yes Jill loves Kelly so she created this role for her. Sullivan would have worked as Phyllis she's a dynamic mover and shaker but Gina was the right person

I guess he could steal some of Devon's money in a business scheme or something. But Devon is a billionaire so I don't see Neil taking it all. And he would need to do that for it to hurt. Besides that would just come across as petty. They are father and son. Not business rivals or even funding brothers.

Exactly. This desire to have Neil go berserk with revenge doesn't make any sense to me, especially if one knows the character & who he is, but I guess the show is so boring that anything to shake things up could help.

After all, we might as well prepare for the f-ckery that will soon descend on Genoa City. ph34r.png

Oh, I have seen worse expectations than Neil going berserk. I saw some people on SOC hoping for Victor to hear about this "horrible thing" that Devon has done to Neil and Victor making Devon pay by taking all his money. Victor getting involved in this to protect Neil's honor by taking anything from Devon is the most asinine thing I have ever heard! As if Victor would care about this. As if Neil would ever condone or allow such a thing. But as you said, action is action.

This is way Hilary is being written. The way she's always running to see Devon, you'd think she would've been relieved after Neil mentioned wanting a divorce. She had already had a night with the man she truly has feelings for, but no she's begging Neil to stay with her. I really HATE the way these writers have chosen to write the Winters' characters. We aren't going to see any other woman constantly telling Devon she has to see him, and wants to be with him. Then turn around and beg Neil to stay with her. If She's not slapping Devon, she's kissing him. I'm getting bored with the headache of her back and forth with the father and son. Devon would be better off moving on with a woman that can make up her mind.

This story hasn't made sense since Hilary slept with Neil and they had to explain the relationship as "daddy issues" because viewers couldn't understand the attraction. Not sure why writers are insiting on Neil being involved with Hilary. But it seems dictated from above. Resulting in a poorly written story lacking consistency and any rational motivations for Hilary. She is a plot point as opposed to a real fleshed out character.

Neil asking for a divorce by pleading with his wife to leave him because he is blind reeked of punk ass loser. Who would leave someone after that? Why not say "this marriage is a mistake and I want a divorce"? Then you have dumb ass Hillbot begging this man to remain his wife. That was not the problem. The problem was which flashback they chose to show in regards to how Hillbot views Neil and this marriage. She didn't beg to stay after thinking about how the family would turn on her because of the affair. They had this bitch flashback to when Neil gave her the ring, meaning she truly loves him. I lost my damn lunch after watching that filth!

Come on in, Chucky! I'm sick of this bullsh!t!

They want the audience to believe Hilary loves Neil and the pairing is viable. And yet still, no one believes it. They have twisted this story to the point of breaking it to make Neil and Hilary a rootable pairing and Neil a rootable character. I also think that Neil and Hilary are the pairing TPTB want. It has been written that way from March. I am just waiting to see how much farther and longer are they willing to go in pursuit of it. I am sure the end result will be the total destruction of Hilary AND Devon resulting in Hilary being sent off canvas along with another one of Neil's kids. Such a waste.

Sorry folks..Not realistic to pick Devon over Neil..Devon could leave the show today and I would not miss him..And even though Devon was Kathrine's grandson that she knew for 5 minutes, made no sense for her to leave him billions.

      Well, she just said "ladies" on the show but she didn't specify they were fellow actresses. It could have been some of the women behind the scenes of the show. There was a lot in the interview that wasn't clear to me.

      Now would’ve been a great time to get the next A plot going, versus Bill and Katie and Steffy and Liam rehashing the same BS about Luna we have been hearing for weeks.

      I feel it could benefit from a focus on one of their three A stories or a solid B plot. But right before the turnover from Guza to Thomson, outside of all things Dani...there's nothing too A story-ish going on. Still entertaining for me, but it's noticeable that there is not a main story with other B/C stories going on. It's just...a bunch of stories going on.    I do hope the build to Winterfest and us actually seeing it THIS month will get things moving again.    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

      GET THAT HEFFA, NOSY NURSE!!!   I'm sorry to see Smitty and June coming to a middle ground. It seem like that tension would be between them for at least one more story arc. A writing change?   I'm sorry but I love the teen unit of Ty, Samantha, and Jessica (and Rocco, Danny, Charlotte over on GH which is what today is reminding me of). I'm a sucker for soap teens. lol.

      I really hope Laura doesn’t get reelected. She doesn’t deserve it. Imagine her campaign staff, freaking out at the Metro Court as election results come in while she’s hanging out with Sonny.

      Thanks for that. It was great to see her in an interview. She's very likable. Although it was somewhat confusing. What new soap is she talking about going on audition for in 1973. Was it The Young and the Restless? Is it just me or did they never even say the name of this soap opera? Days wasn't new in 1973 and there was no "Jack" with three daughters on The Young and the Restless. What soap are they talking about? The editing around that part was weird and choppy. I felt like there was a chunk missing or something. And I'm not sure why she was saying she got colorectal cancer from HPV and said it's because she never got the HPV vaccine but then said she's never had anal sex. I'm not a doctor but that didn't seem to make any medical sense. I don't know. Maybe I'm tired. It just seemed like some of this interview didn't make sense.

      If it helps any, the last script cover from the Elman papers that I have is from episode #3,736 airdate November 15, 1977. Writers are the Hollands with Frank Salisbury.

      B&B really does look incredible. The lighting and the polished sets have made a significant difference how visually appealing the show is now.

      I found the problem with the Labine era was that the show lost some humour when the Labines came on and it could be dull. They also didn't seem to understand some of the characters. As others have said, it looks fantastic in comparison to the next regime but I just remember boredom being the primary response.
