I think it's debateable how well Cady McClain is doing as Kelly but she has been afforded more time to try to get her portrayal together than David Tom, who worked out the kinks much faster.

Seeing EH's Chloe knowing there was a systematic reason why she had no scenes with Burgess Jenkins tells me, we most likely won't see Chloe again as long as Burgess Meredith is playing Billy. Or they'll just age Chloe, I guess.

At this point, I think Neil knows but is willing to try to guilt everybody to get what he wants. Just like he knew Hilary and Devon had an attraction prior to his "seduction". But he doesnt give a damn as long as he gets what he wants. Typical Neil!

That's the only thing that makes sense. No way does Hilary not smell like Devon while Neil paws her like a lecherous old man.

No EP or writer would pair up two new actors on a soap. I don't care of one is a legacy recast character. No. Unless Sage is Adam's assistant that is his gopher around town, any association between them is a none starter. If Adam must have someone to do while he battles Billy and "wins" Chelsea back, it will be someone viewers already care about. My money is in Lily since Lane are set to implode with this Hevon affair coming to light. That will get folks talking since Lane is already very polarizing. Or maybe Mariah.

So you're saying that Billy is smarter than Kevin? Nah. I think TPTB realized that the optics of Chloe and now-Billy would be way off. Chloe has always been slightly immature, plays games and gives off a young-ish vibe. I can't even picture EH's Chloe and BJ's Billy together long enough to produce a child. Odds are that someone in production saw that too and decided to keep them apart.

I mean think of it, why would Y&R pass up a chance to have a scene with some suspense where Billy runs into Chloe and Chloe does whatever she can to mask her appearance or even if they just miss each other but almost run into each? Y&R didn't take that?? In fact, I think it was probaly originally supposed to be Billy then someone thought better of it and stuck Kevin in that scene because they knew darn well it wouldn't look right.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, that seems of touch in 2025. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
