The Hillary flashbacks

Please register in order to view this content

. I loved Devon and Hillary so so much. 

This is the same town of idiots that didn’t notice Phyllis standing in front of them at her own memorial service because somehow a wig and glasses completely changed her face except it didn’t.

Someday I’ll really get to the root of why this show has made zero investment in the character of Noah Newman. I was reading the history/backstory of Audra Charles and it seems like her entire relationship with Noah took place offscreen? It actually could have been an interesting one for Noah. Even seeing this triangle with Adam, Sally and Nick, I can’t help but think it would have been more interesting if it were Adam, Sally and Noah. Putting casting quirks for a moment, because no matter who portrays him, the pairings and stories for Noah haven’t been good since he reached adulthood.

 I guess this show has really given up on cultivating a new generation?

One of the problems to me was that Noah and Abby were aged too soon.

Especially with Noah as his father had been drastically SORASED only 10 years earlier and there was no need for Noah to become a teen so soon. It just put 3 generations of the family -Victor/Nick/Noah all fighting for frontburner stories.

Then casting Robert Adamson who looked way too old for the role was another issue plus the overall reluctance to commit to Noah as a character.

The latest go round with Noah/Allie was puzzling as there was potential but they were so blandly written.

Obviously some BTS stuff saw them sidelined.

    • Yes, and by the time the 2000's rolled around Katherine was a saint and a dynamic business women. Hard to connect with the drunken lush isolated in her mansion of the 70's.
    • For once, I agree with Maurice.  AMC and OLTL had seen better days, IMO, but to assume that the audience would stick around for "The Revolution" or "The Chew" was pure hubris on the network's part.
    • It is funny to think of how the character of Philip II, and the recasting of Jill, really changed the trajectory of Kay.  One assumes she would've mellowed with time, naturally.  But, as someone who started Y&R @ 1986 (when Brad married Traci), I rarely associate Kay with her more venomous past.
    • At Santa Barbara I think she inherited a very strong structure. I also think it's the first time she exhibited the Peter Principle & was promoted just one step above her level of assured competence. If she'd stayed in Music Production I guarantee you she'd have more awards & also a stellar rep.  Oh, we totally agree then.  Betty Rea GL 1970-1996 & at 82 she died 12-23-99. Worked for the show for 26 years. Shorter time at ATWT. GL had no casting director from 1996 till 1999 when  Rob Decina came on board. (He found Tom Pelphrey at college in NJ.) he was 1999-2009, so bitter ender.  Jill GL 1989-1994, so I would guess that Betty was pretty tired & Jill just ran over her, which probably made her last years miserable because this lady was legendary! All years from imdb which CAN be wrong. 
    • I'm not sure I agree with that either.
    • I think the Ralph story was a one of those Kay redemption stories that came up every so often where she would vow to make better choices. I guess Ralph appeared at the mansion for work and was friendly towards Kay and Liz encouraged it.  There would have been a bit of comedy with haughty Kay attempting to relate to down to Earth Ralph. How it was resolved I don't know. Maybe as simple as Kay announcing she wasn't interested? Did Liz and Kay ever interact until Jill got pregnant/Phillip's death? I don't think so and at that point they would not have been friendly. Liz very much knew her place in dealing with the likes of Kay Chancellor.
    • i've never seen any videos of this ivan! if anyone finds any id love to see haha if anyone has any of the videos from the 1984 plots besides the couple clips on youtube i'd love to see those too !
    • @Maxim @draglover Character: Ivan Marais, assistant to Vivian Alamain. Actor: Ivan G'Vera from Prague. Jason47 has an old autograph here: https://jason47.com/days/autogvera.html
