YAY If Jill is back I'm going to start watching....again! I pray JG actually writes her into the story and she's going to stick around a little while. He did a horrid job with Nina all those weeks she was around. She was basically a potted plant in the Chancellor mansion.

Looks like Chance is alive. The background looks a little too festive for a death. Welcome home or welcome back Chance! ?

I hope they re-cast someone good.

Heinle doesn't seem to GAF and I'm kinda here for it LOL. Even she sees the show's writing is crap and there's nothing there.

 

Yay to seeing Jess Walton. My heart goes out to her. I had a feeling she'd probably start appearing more now. It's probably a comfortable and happy place to be.

 

They should have just kept Justin Gaston. No one would have cared.

I put my hand up that I tend to read a lot into things that may not necessarily need to be read into but...

Considering how easy it would have been to just swap Gaston in - who is not busy as far I can tell and married to a show actress - when it all went down AND how long they have taken to recast despite the fact Chance was obviously needed in the story they had planned, they really really must not have wanted to hire Gaston long-term for some reason.

It wouldn't surprise me if they decide to throw a 'celebrate Chance' party where everyone can talk about how wonderful he was/is - not totally acknowledging his death but holding on to hope. Hence the festive tone.

Sounds like the kind of cornball thing Josh would plot.

Perfect opportunity for Fr Devon to deliver one of his boring sermons.

Why would Victoria be there? Why hold it at the Gruesome Photobooth?

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Or they felt it would be poor optics (especially after they took heat on Gina/Michelle). But the lack of any long-term planning on Griffith's part is so noticeable. It's really shocking he's still head writing at this point.

    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
