One of Y&R's saddest scenes. Jess and Jeanne knocked that scene out of the park. That they undid Philip's death was just appalling. 

There definitely were loud rumblings about Ed Scott and Kay Alden being in a feud about the character and one of them won (I suspect Ed Scott) and Donnelley was fired. After that, Diane stayed well out of the Newman universe and was attached to Jack & Phyllis. I'd never heard anything negative about AD (and she was invited to one of Jeanne Cooper's last birthdays which was hosted by Lee Phillip Bell) and although AD will always be my Diane, Susan Walters did a good job, and I welcome the character's return.

I haven't watched in a while but I'll tune in to see her.

That sort of makes sense but I have a distinct recollection that, at the time, because I liked the chemistry between them (and yes I was very much into MM's Adam, sorry to say), I thought putting them in each other's orbit, presumably to seek revenge or something, was full of potential rather than a door closing.

But I hear the logic for why it turns out it meant the opposite. They definitely were writing her down a spiral at the end - which I thought would have been an interesting storyline on its own right - and I remember her fight with Michael ("I am surrounded by snakes and you are one of them") as being a oh-no moment for me but her exit may have already been rumored by then.

 

Yes. Again why we were right away hating that story, long before we were reminded TB is not a good actor and the gay stuff. 

 

I am very eager to hear how they explain that way but I am even more skeptical of how they are going to explain the Keemo/Allie connection. It would make no freakin' sense for her to be Allie's mother AT ALL. 
Even if MW's Diane was a fake or something.
I really can't understand how they are going to explain it away. And will this impact Deacon over at B&B?

Oh, trust me, I adored Muhney as Adam; all others, in my opinion, have paled in comparison. There was potential there, but Arena was incapable of seeing that beyond her own self-centered vanity.

And I believe those scenes aired around the time it was announced West had been fired, so it was definitely a prelude to something happening.

I have no knowledge or opinion on it but SW is only four years younger than AD.
Maybe Scott was working at MTS' behest. While I have never heard any specifics, we have had more than a few hints from people in the business that MTS is not as sweet as she seems.

MTS has always come across as a not so sweet person to me, I’m shocked anyone thinks she was nice at all!

I will always prefer AD, because she had that chilly vibe that always just suited Bell’s Y&R, and also an edge.  When her Diane was upset or mad, it could be visceral.

      Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this

      This was late 1993, right before Roger is shot.

      Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).

      It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.

      Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.

      Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.

      That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.

      I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross.

      Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.
