Tbf, the montage last week with the vets remembering their kids as kids and seeing them all grown up with Nadia's Theme playing.

 

So at least one person.

But Susan Dansby just started consulting last week right? Has she had any influence yet?

TBH, I rarely watch this show on a regular basis anymore.

The montages were a nice touch but some intern could have looked up those clips. The credit more likely goes to the editors who pieced those clips together and inserted them into the appropriate parts of the sequence, along with the music cues. The detail needed to write a storyline surrounding how the characters deal with an unresolved issue from the past is something this show hasn't managed to do in over a decade.

I understand. I come and go in my viewing now as well. 

 

That still means (hopefully) there is an intern with some understanding of the show at least.

 

But I do agree with the last sentence. As much as I want this Faith story to rope around...well...I don't feel that will be how it will happen at all either.

Now on last Wednesday...

 

...and HAHAHAHA at the writers taking every opportunity they can to get TempChance shirtless or just in briefs. I have no complaints.

Sad that Jill is gone already. I feel like she would have stayed. 

 

I do like that Icy Victoria is back!!! That was something I liked under SSM and Mal Young and guess to see that JG appears to be going with it. Because I've always said that AH can do a cold bitca when given the chance. And I have no problem with her going after Giggly Heffa. 

 

I could be into the Theo (hey, Brittany!) vs the Abbotts storyline if I was not sure how it was going to end. But I like watching the Abbotts.

 

Sally is being wasted on one hand. But I need to see her scheming on the other.

 

Sad that it seems like they have rushed through the Devon/Elena/Nate storyline. Though it seems it might have legs. And Amanda is just off somewhere.

 

Had a spark of interest surprisingly in drama for Chelesa/Adam, but adding in Chloe/Kevin killed that. lol.

I would think Dansby had something to do with the anniversary week, but the show seems to have fallen back into its old patterned as soon as it ended so I don’t know.  Maybe that week only worked because they always do special episodes well. 
 

I *do* however think Susan Dansby is the next HW and will be announced in January or February. Y&R has a habit of bringing the next HW on as a Story Consultant and if not, why not just bring her back in her old position? Perhaps BLM and her Producing gig on Ambitions gave her more leverage. I have no inside info so I could be wrong, but that’s my speculation.

Yes, I agree. Just watching last week and halfway through so far, it has moments and people I either am interested in or could be interested in, but not as good as the week before it. And the old pattern...just ain't suiting me...meanwhile, GH had more fun for me and it is from the same time period I've playing catchup.

 

Ooooo...from your fingers to producers' brains. I would not mind that at all.

    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
