I feel like she's not even on their radar. Maybe with Ron there ... but even then ... and she didn't really make too many appearances on GH when I think Ron was open to using her so I don't know if she's willing/able. But I don't know. I noticed she had a bit of a leg problem in her last time on GH. Anyone know how she is?

IDK what happened with Marnie Siatta. She is a Bell trained casting director who started there as an intern. Ed Scott brought her over to DAYS initially and she's responsible for casting some of the best younger actors Y&R has had. On DAYS they've struggled, but hopefully they get Ciara right. They also need to recast Claire while they're at it. Interesting to see Lani will be sticking around. I figured Ron would dump her.

I remember when Sal was on All My Children and people just raved about her and wanted her to be nominated for an Emmy. I don't know what they saw lol. I love both characters she's played and often the stories are interesting, but her acting is so bad it takes me out of it. I feel bad wishing she'd leave because I like the diversity (especially on DAYS which struggles with it), but I really wish they'd recast Lani.

The fact that Sal Stowers, Vivienne Giovanni and James Lastovic continued to have air time for more than a year is evidence of the true incompetence of the casting director and executive producers.  Imagine a Bill Bell or Gloria Monty or Paul Rauch keeping these three on the screen and often together?!  The people running these shows are not creative producers and I put Valentini in that group.  On Days, under Ken, you have Greg Meng who has been a corporate suit (not an artist or theatre person), Albert Alaar, a director.  Valentini is a published photographer and with small budgets he makes GH and its look very good, if you like the stylized version of a show.  Mal Young is the only one who has produced drama, written story, directed; and while he may be suitable to produce a daytime soap, he's saddled with Sally's "dull as dishwater" stories plus super poor casting choices (again made by incompetent corporate suits like McDaniel) who want to see Barbie and Ken Dolls who can't act on the screen.  It's unfortunate that Ron Carlivati is writing for Sal Stowers.  She is beyond awful and in no way should be taking up air time on a show that can barely hold on to 2 million viewers.

    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock
    • There was a huge outcry when we learned that JFP intended to off Donna.
    • Especially children who much more likable characters and are played by better actors

      It’s a worse idea than her wanting to become a doctor Well, some of us Italians do prefer trumpets and saxophones over strings
