Members Forever8 Posted July 19, 2022 Members Share Posted July 19, 2022 Maybe Melanie would be short-term? She could be just here for Phillip's reintroduction to the canvas. I don't see the need for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 26, 2022 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2022 Well if Molly DOES RETURN as Melanie, Looks like it's short term https://tvline.com/2022/07/26/law-and-order-svu-molly-burnett-cast-season-24/#more-1234852641 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted July 27, 2022 Members Share Posted July 27, 2022 I don't know her history with spoilers/casting news so posting this in the rumour thread, but Marcia Howell on Twitter posted that Tamara Braun (Ava) is out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DynamiteKiddo Posted July 27, 2022 Members Share Posted July 27, 2022 Ava is such a flop but I still think TB is one of soaps’ best actors, so this sucks if true! I’d honestly be fine with them trying her as Taylor again—back during the big 2011 “Reboot,” I totally disagreed with them ditching her… her Taylor becoming a CarlyLite was terrible, but she was a blank slate character that could’ve gone anywhere. It would’ve been better than Sarah Brown running a global corporation above Horton Town Square. Anyway, I read a spoiler that Kristen is shocked by Rolf’s new experiment… I’m afraid we’re getting Stefan’s “essence” implanted into Jake’s not totally dead body. Lord omg! Lol! I’ll be thrilled to keep BB, but if this is the case—how stupid!!! Also, I’ll be shocked if Molly Burnett returns. She’s been successful in primetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 27, 2022 Members Share Posted July 27, 2022 That's probably why Tripp is back. Ava is probably leaving with Tripp. Tamara is a good actress but I never cared for Ava. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted July 27, 2022 Members Share Posted July 27, 2022 That's been pretty much confirmed to happen. I don't get what the purpose of killing off Jake was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted July 27, 2022 Members Share Posted July 27, 2022 Seems like a big a reset, and so far none of it is working. The show is hallow, but it kind of felt that way before all these exits, it's just more obvious now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted July 27, 2022 Members Share Posted July 27, 2022 How did I miss this thread before? I am possibly Molly Burnett/Melanie's biggest fan here. I would love for her to come back. As far as TB leaving, oh well. I like her so much as an actress, but Ava is useless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted July 28, 2022 Members Share Posted July 28, 2022 Molly Burnett is joining SVU. Unsure if you saw that or not... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted July 28, 2022 Members Share Posted July 28, 2022 Yeah I saw that! I just figured it would be short term if she came back. You know Days. MB could have filmed something months ago and won't even air for a few more months. Honestly, with Stephanie coming back as well she basically would fill the same sort of role with Phillip anyhow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DynamiteKiddo Posted July 28, 2022 Members Share Posted July 28, 2022 So I think Melanie started really annoying and ended really problematic, but there was a sweet spot in the middle of her run that I thought was really successful… I thought the Philip/Melanie/Nathan/Stephanie quad was fire! It was formulaic and unoriginal, but I so rooted for Nathan & Melanie and Phil & Steph were perfect spoilers (I was dying for them to scheme together to keep Mate apart and eventually get back together themselves)… it was very Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas-esque. But right when the story climaxed once Steph was exposed for switching Parker’s paternity results, we lost JKJ, SH, and MH! It was the biggest letdown, and Corday obviously really interfered during the last leg of Dena 2.0 in 2011 because everything on the show changed overnight in early ‘11. But then Melanie languished with Dario and then Chad (she also got moved down like a generation) until TomSell came and centered SO much story around her in MB’s final month, which was crazy. And we can’t forget the showeating terror of her retconned family with Maggie and Daniel. And then her very limited 2015 return was wasted on Brady & Theresa/Kristen. So even though I think MB is lovely (she was great on Queen of the South!), I have Melanie whiplash lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
