I hate it too. A sensible writer would have Summer mad at Sharon for at least a 2-3 month arc and forgive her [b/c Sharon was mentally ill], but I doubt it. Summer [alongside Victor and other Newmans] will lead the witch hunt against Sharon. rolleyes.gif

But a part of me is hoping that it comes out that Sharon didn't switch the results in Summer really is Jack's. I'm over paternities switching every other damn week. It's played out.

There is no way that Sharon doesn't get the rap and the heat to go along with this paternity switch story. However, I do feel that if Phyllis/Jack is the intention for a long term pairing then it makes more sense to tie them together with Summer. I always thought that Jack would be her father in the end anyway. But MAB just couldn't tell MS no when it came to being paired with JM. I still regret that the pairing lasted so long and changed the dynamics of the show the way that it did.

Besides the big yell when she woke up...LOL...she is playing Phyliss more subtle...I loved the previews for tomorrows show with Sharon saying how do I look..and then GT saying fabulous...or something like that.

With GT as Phyllis, no way it works with Aunt Jack. The Summer switch (and fortunately we knew it was a false switch from basically the beginning) will hopefully payoff. I do hate that Sharon is going to be pinned under this - potentially so many steps backwards after getting Sharon back to more of the character she was meant to be rather than the mess the writers of the past decade made her. Perhaps, we'll be surprised and she will emerge stronger by accepting responsibility for her actions and trying to make things right. If she gets all defensive and tries to cover it up or blame someone else, it won't work.

    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.
