Members DRW50 Posted December 22, 2014 Members Share Posted December 22, 2014 How awful. She's a very good writer, I must say. As for Tuck - love her, love her always, but even if she looks her age, she's still a little too young for that role. The idea of her and Heinle as mother and daughter is surreal even by Y&R standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 22, 2014 Members Share Posted December 22, 2014 The most shocking part of this to me is that someone like MTS didn't have a doctor and had a hard time finding a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted December 22, 2014 Members Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yes, this is the most shocking part of it all. How in the sam hell do you recast MTS with Jessica Tuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted December 22, 2014 Members Share Posted December 22, 2014 Jessica has been playing moms to young people of all ages for a while now - I remember she did that bit on DAYS as Chad's(?) mom, and then she had a great comic supporting turn in Super 8. I admit, I haven't had a regular doctor let alone a check-up in years and I probably should very soon. When you don't have health insurance, as I didn't for a long time, and you're working fast and furious you decide not to get sick, period. But I did get sick, a couple years ago, and ignored it in favor of work until I ended up dragging myself into the ER and going on an EKG, where they found out I almost had pneumonia. I also couldn't taste anything except a burnt sort of sourness. It was awful and I've taken better care of myself since, but clearly if someone as tough as Melody Thomas Scott can do it, little old me should go in and see someone just because.

Members quartermainefan Posted December 22, 2014 Members Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well, how many 50 yr old soap actresses are there you can call in the pinch and you know the show is safe and they can do the work? MTS is more like 60 but it was temp and if a soap can call in Joan Crawford to replace her own daughter this could work on a short term basis. There just aren't that many people with soap experience who know the work in that age range. Julia Barr I guess but she isn't blonde. Susan Seaforth Hayes is too old. Kim Zimmer perhaps. If you were the producer who would you call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 22, 2014 Members Share Posted December 22, 2014 Perhaps it's because it's "old news" to those people, but I'm sickened by the fact that not one comment expresses any sort of sympathy for MTS's medical nightmare.

Members JONNYSBRO Posted December 22, 2014 Members Share Posted December 22, 2014 Catherine Hickland would have been a good temp Nikki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted December 23, 2014 Members Share Posted December 23, 2014 She's also one of MTS's best friends in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 23, 2014 Members Share Posted December 23, 2014 I thought of CH too to be honest... poor MTS I'm gonna miss seeing Nikki for a while but I really want her to get better....what a nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted December 23, 2014 Members Share Posted December 23, 2014 TOTALLY agree! Her situation just reinforces that you take NOTHING a doctor prescribes unless you thoroughly read about it, and know all possible side effects, and keep a lookout for them. And at the first sign of them, get a hold of someone and find out what to do, or just stop the medication as long as you can without incident. We own a PDR and take nothing until we read EVERYTHING about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 23, 2014 Members Share Posted December 23, 2014 One of the problems is everything has a side effect. Still, when you are told something has that large a dose of steroids, you need to be extremely cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
