That's a great idea but I doubt Steven Ford would return.

Oh, he'd return. I don't care what he said the last time he came back (he was glad to be back, but he can't commit long-term because his speaking schedule's so busy, blah blah blah). Anyone could come back if the price is right.

Not if I can convince Frank Valentini to take her on as the new Miranda Jacks, the fourth wheel in the Jax/Nina/Valentin/Miranda quadrangle.

So, NOBODY currently on DAYS is a front-runner for Victoria Newman?

Or are we just waiting a year for Gina Tognoni to be forgotten (NEVER!) as Phyllis so she can FINALLY get this role?

But, I digress...

Judi Evans IS Regina Romalotti, Gina’s long-lost daughter!

Here's where I'd make an exception to my "No more resurrections!" rule: Jaime Lyn Bauer (Laura) as B&B's back-from-the-dead Beth Logan. (Don't ask me how I'd make that happen.) And yes, I'd pair her with John McCook's Eric.

The Beth who died was a wax dummy.

Oh, wait...that was Taylor.

Oh, wait...that’s STILL Taylor.

Freddie Smith IS CJ Garrison!

If it brings back Patty Weaver, then I'm down for it!

You could say Gina gave birth to Cathy (sorry, but I'm not calling Judi's character "Regina," lol) while she was in prison. Obviously, Gina wasn't able at that time to raise a child, so she gave Cathy up to her and Danny's cousin, Judy, played by Gloria Loring (ex-Liz, DAYS). Judy raised Cathy while working as a professional singer in California. However, when Cathy recently became ill and needed a kidney transplant, that's when Judy confessed the truth about her "daughter's" origins.

Nope. He's on GH now, as a new doctor, who turns out to be Nikolas' fraternal twin brother. (But not before he almost goes to bed with Lulu.)

Frankly, @John, I don't care. That's for Patty Weaver and Wesley Eure to work out (or not work out). All I know is, I miss seeing Patty (and Gloria Loring!) on TV.

Granted, this would be a REALLY long shot, but if Y&R ever wanted to bring back Casey Reed, and if Roberta Leighton couldn't return for whatever reason, then I would try like hell to get Lisa Hartman Black (ex-Ciji/Cathy, KNOTS LANDING) to sign on. She's another actress/singer, along with John's nemesis, Patty Weaver, and Gloria Loring, whom I miss seeing on my soaps.

Sorry, Khan, but I cast Judi, and she’s playing Regina!

Cathy is Judi’s SECOND role on Y&R, though—Paul’s white-trash cousin who’s hot for Jack.

Lisa Hartman IS Dannii Romalotti, Gina’s OTHER long-lost daughter!

But I think we all know that Kim Zimmer IS Dr. Casey Reed!

Arianne Zuker as Sharon's long-lost half-sister (by the same daddy).

Yes, please!

And while we're at it, Greg Vaughan could return as Diego. He's too stunning to be left on the sidelines.

Nadia Bjorlin as Mac (no disrespect intended to Kelly Kruger). I think she and Jason Thompson would be fireworks across from each other.

They never used Jacob Young. Why would they hire Greg?

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.

It is very strange. They have insisted on having 30+ contract players for years now. If they had less cast, they could up everyone's episode guarantees, balance the cast out more. Like 20-25 would be perfect. Have everyone else recur.
If you look back at the history of the show, especially in the 1970s and in the 2010s, whenever the show was at it's most successful, it had smaller casts. Audience relate to the characters more, because they see more of them. In 2009 and 2013, the show had arguable it's most successful periods since the early 2000s (ratings wise that is). They had smaller casts and focused on 3 or 4 stories the whole year. That's what they should be doing at this point. Have a few umbrella stories, that last the whole year, and involve the whole cast. But again, before that, fix who we see on screen cause.....😬

I just wanted to add a thread where you can post classic commercials. Ones you like, find interesting, or feature soap actors.
This a quirky one from the early 70's. The actors look familiar. I like how the husband barely pays attention to her rambling about Oversauces.
A childhood holiday classic from 1986 featuring soap actor Greg Wrangler as Peter.
