Eileen Davidson was pretty candid in a (long) video interview with Nelson Branco that her decision to leave last autumn was because she didn't wanna be tied-down to a full-time job anymore.    She added that if she'd been given better storylines, the decision would've been harder to make, but the decision still would've been the same.   She also said she'd be happy to pop in occasionally (non-contract) if the show needed her to.

 

She also said, when she was asked to return for the Jabot storyline and Kristoff's funeral, "I'm glad Josh took me up on my offer!"

 

(I think she has a better working relationship with Josh than with most of the others writers Y&R has foisted upon us in the past decade.   It was Josh's team who re-hired Eileen immediately after taking over from Lyn Marie Latham, who'd axed Eileen in 2007.)

I haven't been able to watch the shows yet. My heart just isn't ready. But that's a nice moment. I find it interesting though. This is the first time that Mishael has ever mentioned watching Dru and Neil. She's said that Phyllis was her favorite character and wanted to play someone like her, Nick and Sharon her favorite couple, and has mentioned wanting to be a Newman on the many occasions she was asked whether she watched growing up. I had thought that maybe when she watched, it was after the prime of the Winters/Barber family. After all, Malcolm Winters was everyone's favorite. Is there a viewer that didn't love him?!

I think that brief little moment made VR feel the things she had been fighting for were not in vain and did have a positive impact on young people of color watching the show. She and Kristoff and that group of characters resonated more than she could have imagined. I’m glad Mishael got to speak from a fan’s angle for a bit and I know VR was proud that the show had at least one popular actress of color in Mishael since her departure (but we know how that turned out unfortunately).

I guess we’re in GT’s final stretch of episodes? I will give her a ton of credit for committing to the material, even when it’s usually crap and not letting her personal feelings impact her work. She made Phyllis a human again, which was refreshing.

 

I just hope Stafford doesn’t let her personal feelings impact the character or her work again as it did during the last several years of her last stint...

 

EDIT: Looks like this is GT’s last week of filming per her Instagram. I guess we have her for a few more weeks on-screen. Interesting to see so many Y&R cast and crew commenting on her post - she seemed very well-liked by most on the show.

Oh...so this is what's been going on since I regularly watched last (pre-Hillary death).

 

Abby opens a restaurant. 

 

Hmmm...seems like the Summer/Kyle/Lola triangle got a bit of traction. And that necklace scene with the tension was interesting.

 

So this is Mia. DON'T LIKE HER.

 

Awwww at Devon taking off the wedding ring.

 

Too many sequins.

 

 

ETA: ASHHLEEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Another World Discussion Thread

      I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.

      What did you all think of Hogan/Patti compared to the stuff with Liza and Sonny? Did you buy anything about Sonny and Bela? Has a recast ever decentralized a character as much as Sherry's exit did with Liza? Or do you think that would have happened even if Sherry had stayed?

          I think the three comments pretty much summarize my thoughts. The green is not pleasant. I think I know where they were going with it, but it doesn't translate on screen.  The bar at Uptown is actually pretty good. It's my favorite part. I totally get it having an East Coast vibe. I used to frequent a place like it and while I wouldn't necessarily call it pretty...it was a bit Kitsch but it had a vibe. This place is lacking the vibe. I know it's not easy to hire extras, but even having a karaoke night in the background or live music would change the whole feel.  Vernon and Anita having breakfast there was a great idea. Another place besides the country club where they could talk. However, why were they using country club china at an establishment like Uptown. It just seems a bit confused. I don't understand what it's supposed to be.

      Add me to the list of people who like Tanisha Harper as Jordan I never understood any of the criticism of her, to be honest. She's gorgeous and she's solid in her role. Sounds like a soap staple to me.

      Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!   (Can you imagine what the synopsis for 2024/2025 will look like 50 years from now?  It'll basically just be a flowchart of who was the CEO of which unseen corporation, lol.)

      Leslie is extra but she's told the truth about what happened back then. They were in love, at least he led her to beleive they were. I never go the impression that she was crazy or a hot mess when they were involved. From the bits that we've heard, it seems more like she got bitter and jaded over the years but when they had their affair? She was all good   Ted shouldnt stress getting Eva anything. Like he just go her an apartment, no to mention a job. I think his continued attention and presence in her life mean more than material things he could buy   June definitely knows those kids. She was lying bc she doesnt want to answer what happened to said kids
