Abby is the only Abbott-Newman kid whose existence has some kind of meaning. She should be driving story. I always thought that MO's Abby would be much better in a vixen role, getting involved with a married man and ruining his family. Think Kimberly Simms during the Roger/Alex drama or a new -less fragile- version of Ashley with Victor and Nikki. 

I couldn't stand DG as Cane, but I could see Abby in a very dramatic affair with him during his marriage to Lily. 
It's a pity that Y&R has no idea what to do with the Chancellor mansion. Jill should be living there. Alone.

Abby's character has no meaning or discernable character core other than 'stupid blonde.' Ordway is not capable of being a lead and has had endless failed stories. She should be written out for a minimum of five years. Just being Victor and Ashley's daughter is not an excuse anymore.

I wish they would've done the Mindy Sue Lewis inspired storyline a few years ago. Abby works best if they actually tap into her corporate side. By getting her out of owning restaurants like she is Lisa Miller Grimaldi from As The World Turns. Have her go back to Newman to contend with Victoria and Adam for the throne of the company. But we know JG rather have Victoria being her only employee.

People are bamboozled by her bloodline. There is nothing there and there hasn't been since she was first SORASed. She has no personality beyond being a joke and every storyline she's ever had has ended in miserable failure. Melissa Ordway has the range and depth of a pet rock.

 

I know who fucked to give birth to Abby. I know how much potential she SHOULD have. It doesn't matter. She doesn't have it now. She's been onscreen for what, over a decade? And everything has been a disaster. The actor is bad. The character is nothing. Countless legacy characters in daytime (hello, Sarah Webber) have been deemed radioactive with far less airtime and exposure. There is nothing you can magically retool here on a dime. Abby needs to go away for a long time. Move on with your lives!

This!!! 

This!!! Nick has no purpose but to play video games with Phyllis and try to convince Sharon they need to be softer on Faith. Nick... that didn't work when you were parenting Cassie in the last year of her life. How about meeting Sharon halfway with Faith. And Nikki is Miss Ellie from Dallas now.

That, I most definitely agree with. Perhaps when one of the Phillip Chancellors come to visit, they stay with her. Maybe even Nina.

The show can have a long-running gag that Jill always invites Nina to stay at the Chancellor mansion when ever she's in town. Then they start bickering over some minor quibble, (or a larger issue-could be Chance, e.g.) leading Jill to complain that she doesn't know why she keeps inviting Nina back, leading Nina to chide Jill about them being family. Jill rolls her eyes, knowing, deep down, that Nina is right.

She could even look up at Katherine's portrait/picture, convinced that the old dame is laughing at her, and gives some response like "she is not like me, and I am not like you!"

      Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.

      OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.

      It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.'

      And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.

      @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

      Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.
