AH gets along with everyone, is a team player, and never bad mouths the show too much.  Never mind that she is totally wrong as Victoria...this just goes to show that fitting into the company culture/being a team player trumps being the right performer for a role.

I actually like that Victoria doesn't know how to handle a teenager since as far as we know she was a hands off mother. Heather Tom would be acting the hell out of this story. But considering all of that, why isn't he at Walnut Grove? She should be throwing her money at that school and at a driver so she doesn't have to deal with Reed. That's something that would make the story feel true.

I feel like Chance is needed for pairings. What are they going to do with Chelsea? I don't see the point of her anymore. If Chloe's going to stay she can't stay with Kevin. Mariah, Abby, & Summer are single. 

 

I loved Nina, I be fine if she picked up feuding with Jill at any time. It's not too late for me.

And that's the sad part about it.

AH has become the new and improved Joshua Morrow....her pairings never work. I haven't seen one pairing she has had that worked. She is an awful actress with zero chemistry with her male co-stars.

I would never compare Amelia to Joshua. Many hate on him but I find him a legit good actor with charisma who fits the role of Nick. And he's had chemistry with multiple people, even Lauralee Bell which was an odd unexpected chemistry test. Amelia struggles with everyone. I hate that they fired David Tom due to her when he was firing on all cylinders with literally everyone else.

I like the idea of it too (and your suggestions, why the hell isn't he at Walnut Grove? Genoa City High sounds fake (yes, I know, it's all fake)) but there's no story here. She reacts like he showed up on her doorstep with a served head and she just can't deal.

 

I have no idea why they're trying to write Nick and Victoria like your typical frazzled working parents.

      Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.

      That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.

      Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.

      I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.

      I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

      That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.

      Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

      Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
