I'm not blaming Neil, I blame the writer's or TPTB. MAB is the one who started limiting Jill's story, but she is long gone now. Katherine is gone now too, so there should be plenty of room for Jill  to have a little story. IMO TPTB didn't want Jill, or Devon, to have a company and that's why they gave CI to Victor. Sally has come along and opened it up for Devon, but not Jill. I'm saying there's no reason they both can't exist.

 

The writers, are relating them. Twice now Dina has insinuated since Kay left Devon the lion's share of her fortune that she must have had greatest trust in him. Well what does that say about the others? Kay didn't trust any of them as much? Why is it necessary to disparage Katherine's other relatives in order to build Devon up? Why would this even be in the dialog if they weren't choosing one over another?

One day, on this board, we're all going to hear from Chelsea's legions of fans and we'll all faint from the shock of it.  Just last night, I was told she has many fans, you know.

I guess we all have to know where to look. Now where's my microscope?

Of course they are related. Because without Katherine start up money, Neil will be begging Newman or Abbotts for a job. Now he doesn't have to do that until the next writers comes along.

 

But he's not a blood relative, but I'm happy he bringing Neil along because he respect him as if he was blood.

 No it's not, Devon is now a relative of Katherines, he's carrying on the Tucker side of her family. Jill carries on the Chancellor side, and her lifelong relationship with the Reynold's side and Kay. If Kevin was chosen to be Kay's son it would be the same situation.

 

Who's picking on who? I'm fine with Devon/Neil existing, but there's no support for Jill doing so.

 

 

Adam and Dylan's relationship with the Newmans is different than that of Nick & Victoria's. They have different mothers or fathers. Dylan wasn't considered a Newman because he was Nikki's child. Why is Devon different?

 

Devon has lot's of names, Hamilton, Winters, McCall, Henricks, and Harmony's last name.  Why would Chancellor be the most important to Devon? It was important to Kay because she loved and fought Jill for the man & maybe cuz she killed him. It was important to the Philips because that was their father/grandfather. And Jill because she loved him and had his child. It 's Katherine's married name but it's not like Devon was closer than her than he was with Tucker.

Of course, I know that. I remember on another soap board I used to frequent years ago, people used to call her a rapist. They clearly hated her. Chelsea's popularity picked up when Chelsea was paired with Adam and that popularity peaked when MCE was paired with JH.  It says a lot that Chelsea is supposed to be with Nick but

 Yes she is Adam's wife. Many of her fans on twitter have been asking for a Adam recast since he left. There is a place she has many fans I think it's Daytime Dish.

 

I also think TPTB have an interest in MCE. They were pushing promo pics of Chelsea and Avery on each side of Victor for years under JFP.

Chelsea and Nick get very little play. I don't think anyone involved with the show is enamored of that but JM. And he only wanted it cause of Chelsea and Adam's popularity and was hoping it give him some buzz. 

 

With respect to the spoiler, I had heard that. Wonder if it'll work for the 3rd time? I smell a disaster coming. 

 

Chelsea also has many haters on DD. But then that place trolls anything regular posters like.

 

Avery is long gone. I don't think tptbs feelings for Chelsea can be gauged by that promo.  

 

 

 

Mo, I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or not.

I' am being sarcastic! I'm tired of the same people complaining about Devon & that damn money. When other people just get pregnant or get somebody pregnant in a rich family. I never hear these people calling out they should get a degree. 

 

Chelesa got pregnant by Billy, Believe & Then gotten pregnant by Adam. Where her education?

    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
