They never used him anyway, which is a massive shame.

 

I still hate they ignore Andy. I can kind of understand it from a packed canvas type of deal but they're missing beats that could realistically have been played. I'd rather they ignore Jerry (which they seem to anyway). It's a bizarre choice. One hand understands it, the other doesn't.

 

I agree with John that Andy could have died (but they had to deal with Mark Sr.'s death as well as Roseanne's, to be fair) and Jackie 'erased' him.

Watching this old Roseanne interview (or what was there of it, anyway) I'm reminded of why she was so popular in those early years, in spite of all the endless tabloid publicity. It's a powerful interview. I'm so sorry about where she ended up.

Apparently he's going to go visit his wife on her tour of duty overseas (who I guess guested last season).

They've indicated they'll still weave him in for guest spots but he was basically recurring anyway, and I haven't watched regularly in several seasons - I do intend to catch up someday, but Disney/Hulu makes it hard when they remove past seasons. It's pretty wild it's had what seems to be a strong, long run. It is nice if jolting to see Dan and Louise/Katey Sagal, Darlene and Ben (who I always liked) and Jackie and her new beau who I'm unfamiliar with all married. And I think Becky back to college.

I miss the cool character of Jackie. I forgot which season she started acting all "bafoony". I was hoping we'd get the ol' Jackie back for the reprisal, but nope. Then there was an episode where Jackie was imitating herself to be a bird to get some whipped cream. Oy!

Yeah, to me, the character of Jackie was a very relatable character. I still watch 'The Conners', but it's missing something. It's missing a leading actress and Sara Gilbert (as much as I like her) ain't it. Jackie used to be a cool aunt, and in a way, she kind of guided Roseanne's kids to a certain extent. Instead, it's like Roseanne's kids look at her as a dope. That's not who Jackie was, or at least, that's not how I remember her. I think I started "tuning out" of Roseanne when they all went to Disneyworld. I think post-trip Disneyworld, I wasn't as invested in the show.

As far as the 'The Conners', I like their take on current social issues, but sometimes, it's too much to cram into a 30-minute comedy. And I don't like how everything is about Darlene. Do I want Roseanne Barr back? No. That woman is absolutely insane in the membrane. Has nothing to do with politics at all. It's all about being a decent human being.

      I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.

      Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.

      And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol

      But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.

      Y&R: April 2025 Episode Rankings

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?

      Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.

      The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
