I'm ... surprised. LOL.

 

I flove me some Linda Dano so YAY but I also adore Sorel and am tired of the rotating Vivian's. Like others have said, if this were an actual recast that was long-term, I COULD get behind it. I'm assuming, like always, it's a pop in. 

 

It's Ronald Carlivati. I have no doubts. LMAO. It's also probably no coincidence that Jackee joins and then we get Linda as Vivian ... 

 

It is odd. I wish they'd just keep Vivian around. Enough with the pop ins. Especially when every other time they can't seem to get Sorel (or don't ask; I have no idea). I'm assuming if they did ask Sorel she doesn't want to do it with Covid, etc. Just a guess. Sucks but I'm willing to give Dano a shot as Vivian; I'm very intrigued to see her in the role, actually. Just hard to invest in because I'm tired of the pop ins.

Am I the only one who thinks Robin Strasser's use of the word 'beloved' is a tad bitter? 

 

I love Linda Dano, so although this recast is random AF given that Sorel is so closely identified with the part (though, with the pandemic, I can understand any hesitancy she would have with travelling, being on set etc.) I look forward to it. Linda is always watchable, so I am excited to see her onscreen again.

Bingo! I'm all for it. Sorel likely isn't interested in anything long-term.

 

And just a reminder to Uncle Ronald, Stephen Schnetzer played Julie's brother for a hot minute in a stupid ass plot ... 

 

And damn, just think about this. Another World has been gone for 21 years. Damn. The cancellation remains fresh in my mind.

I'd love to see someone like Linda Dano portray a more subdued, less campy version of Vivian.  IMO, that's the only way that character will have any staying power.  Otherwise, forget it.

I will never forget just how good she was when she started killing Carly’s patients and then buried her alive.

 

I wonder if the audience had an easier time forgetting how bad her crimes were because Carly wasn’t around anymore as a reminder.  Because she was a murderer.

 

I think Dano has it in her to play more subdued, but not with Ron writing it.

I think Allison Sweeney had something to do with it. She hired Linda to do a Hallmark movie with her last year and they're apparently quite friendly. 

 

I do believe Linda lives in Connecticut, but she is originally from California, and given the pandemic, it might be a nice break for her.

If Louise Sorel was unable/willing to return and this is super short-term, I'd skip it if I were RC.  I love Linda Dano but this is Louise's role at this point, especially for visits.  But since this is happening, I'm curious af to see how this'll work out!  I think Dano could do something really interesting with this part.  I'm especially excited to see her opposite Lauren Koslow.

 

Needless to say, this has to be better than Robin Strasser's turn.  I LOVED her as Dorian but that was a hot ass mess!

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

      Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.

      Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.

      Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

      BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this.

      Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.

      Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
