Members Paul Raven Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 I don't like the idea of another long lost child that the mother never mentioned - or the 'I was told my baby died' or "It was so traumatic I wiped it from my mind'. Yes, and without Dru there, what would be the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 I don't wanna listen--does she mention her time at OLTL at all? Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 It doesn't. But, I suspect the ultimate game plan was to recast Dru eventually in order to have a reunion between mother and long-lost (and previously unknown) daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 And yeah and that would fail with a recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 31, 2020 Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 But, think of how thrilling it'd have been to have Bern Nadette Stanis on Y&R as NuDru? Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted June 1, 2020 Members Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hilary as Dru’s daughter wouldn’t even make sense WITH Dru around. The only secret baby story I’d want to see with Dru is making her John and Mamie’s daughter, but that’s a story that would’ve needed to be done in the 90s for the full impact.

VanessaReardon Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Alright. I’ll bite. No, except that Erika Slezak and JFP truly love and admire each other. They got along fabulously. Edited June 1, 2020 by VanessaReardon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 1, 2020 Members Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) At GH I feel Guza & when he was there, Pratt called all the shots while JFP was a figurehead . Pls Frons was probably always a vote for them. GH under Phelps/McTavish/Shapiro was more balanced and still utilized vets Edited June 1, 2020 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted June 2, 2020 Members Share Posted June 2, 2020 I guess the trade is that it was more balanced but the writing was awful under McTavish. So we saw more people but nothing they did was interesting. Guza has the talent, he just doesn’t want to write for the characters I wanted to see. If anything, I thought they kept more people in motion when Pratt was there too. His first big story was even a Laura story (as problematic as it was), plotted before Genie quit. First one that revolved around her since Lucky died. Yes, Sonny, Carly, Jason (and Sam) were on all the time, but we had so many other characters getting real story then too. Once Pratt was gone that dried up. Again, not that Pratt was writing great stuff, but when he was there most of the canvas was in a story of some kind.

Members mikelyons Posted June 2, 2020 Members Share Posted June 2, 2020 JFP got along with the movie star's daughter. Shocking. Of course she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted June 2, 2020 Members Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) All this JFP talk just reminds me of all her rebranding attempts. Everyone stop saying THE Guiding Light. It’s now just ONE LIFE, etc. That AW opening was a primetime level opening. That’s about the only great thing I can say about one of her tenures. My show-GH, also never really recovered from her tenure dismantling the Quartermaines. Alan is my Maureen, and the mistake was just as grave and detrimental.

Members Forever8 Posted June 3, 2020 Members Share Posted June 3, 2020 She also fired Laura Bonarrigo on Maternity Leave. Can you say Lawsuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
