Umm.... I didn't introduce Devon into the subject. Look at post #5, I was strictly speaking about Jill's story line and Devon didn't even cross my mind. The idea that Devon should be in Jill's story was post #16 by someone else. I've never made a secret of the fact I'd like Jill to fill Kay's shoes.

Wait a minute, this is a brand new account not a regular fan. Is the egg, @leeit2, really Eric Braeden too? LOL! It appears the account was created to publish that one tweet, and @EBraeden just happened to be the first follower and re-tweeted that tweet to the masses. LOL! tongue.png

Eric must be upset with SC about something.

Chancellor isn't Jill's company & she has no business trying to get it away from Victor OR running it without the help of Katherine's relatives (Devon, Mackenzie, Tucker) or one of the Chancellor heirs (Nina, Phillip, Chance).

Since she's independently wealthy & wants to be back in the business world again so badly let her utilize her decades of business experience & build her own company.

Of course I disagree. Phillip 2 married Jill on his death bed to provide for Jill & their child. She deserved Phillips full 50% after his divorce from Kay.

Even though Kay had the divorce overturned and marriage declared invalid, there is no question that it was Phillip 2's wish Jill should get his part of the estate Does Jill have a legal right? No A moral right? YES She was married to Phillip Chancellor 2, and bore his only heir. Chance wouldn't exist if Jill hadn't produced Philip III.And if Katherine really became a better person she would make up for her wrongs in life and do what is morally right.

Kay MURDERED a man. Yes it was meant to be murder/suicide but if one survives it is murder.. Katherine Chancellor profited handsomely from her murder by getting 100% of CI, not to mention the 100% of the full estate. She knew full well she was going against the man she murdered wishes back in the day.

The Will wasn't good for Jill but it's even worse for the memory of Katherine. Katherine never made amends for anything, not even the murder. She was an recovering alcoholic,they make amends. I would understand the current Will if Kay was portrayed as the same bitch she was in 1973 throughout her life. But supposedly she became the Grand Dame, the voice of reason,, a better person, and someone who loved Jill. Yet her Will not only seems to punish Jill, but all the other offspring besides Devon. He is heavily favored without explanation. Her great grandchild not even mentioned? It's like she had amnesia about everything and everyone in her life before the MAB writing team took over. It's a horrible, nonsensical, ending to her 40 year story.

So in other news, I actually liked that spooky old mansion stuff with Justin Hartley and Kelly Sullivan going over her past with his doppleganger. That reminds me of some of the old gothic stuff on various soaps and they both did well. When you keep Sullivan in line she's not bad, though she did have a few unnecessary Popeye tics here and there.

    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. They just used her to drive plot. Her treatment is not atypical, as most characters on this show will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat.
