Thank you for this. I was a kid when all this played out so till this day I never realized that Janet was released from jail bc she took place in some experimental plastic surgery procedure. WTF?!? How stupid of the authorities to allow something like that for a convicted killer that was insane

Crossovers are a great idea in theory (and I'm talking all of them, daytime and primetime), but the writers usually aren't able to grasp the nuances for these "foreign" characters. 

That said, I wouldn't give a flying fig about some iconic left-sided curly-que either.

TGL: Slaughtering the majority of the fine, existing cast in 1983 and 1984, changing the show's style and tone, and basically cutting off decades' worth of history from pre-1983.

TGL: Amanda Wexler is Alan's daughter. No, wait, she's his sister! (An impossible retcon after what had transpired on screen.)

TGL: Brandon Spaulding is dead (we saw him die on camera). No, wait, he's alive, so ignore what you saw! TPTB do.

TGL: The patriarchs of major families all went fishing together decades ago, long before they even met or lived in Springfield.

TGL: Kelly Nelson asks Ed Bauer if Ed remembers Steve Jackson, Ed's former father-in-law, colleague at the hospital, and the GRANDFATHER OF ED'S SON.

TGL: Reva the Clone, Reva the Time Traveler, Reva the San Cristobelian Queen, Reva the Illegal-Immigrant Savior, Reva the Amish Amnesiac, Reva the Portly Sex Goddess of EVERY MAN'S FANTASY.

TGL: Harley, the super-heroine.

TGL: San Cristocrap never ends, and Bradley Cole gets rehired.

TGL: The Santos Mob, with a preacher in the family (Rev, Ruthledge was surely rolling over in is grave), a shoot-out in the Bauer kitchen (JFC!), and 587 weddings for Danny and Michelle.

TGL: Peapack. Springfield is morphed into a muddy and run-down looking Walnut Grove with inferior sound and video equipment.

Whew! I  need a break now, LOL!

I have you on Ignore but I saw this because it came up in a search. I posted both a link & a screengrab of the actor detailing that this happened. I did NOT tell a lie. Noel lied about me. Khan lied about me. You lie about me. But, me, nope, don't lie. Furthermore I tell no makeup room gossip.

Ron Moss cannot act...Drake Hogestyn is rough too, but they served their roles and made it work lol.

BIG FAILS... Y&R Phyllis as Sheila. Why? These characters had no history so how did that make sense? Maybe because Phyllis was the new Sheila in the 90s since Kimberlin went to B&B?  Why end the run of an iconic villain like this? Thank God Brad Bell undid this.

      Helloooooo, Gio

      I can finally say it: he looked hot today  And Vaughn was looking pretty hot too. Just what I needed after a long, annoying day  And the rest of the episode was pretty good too, especially Tracy/Brook Lynn. Seriously, Jane elevates every episode that she's in. She works so well with everybody. I was also impressed by Amanda Setton as well I also liked Rocco's nervousness/nerdiness at the party as well. It felt very real, and a little familiar too  Hope he ends up being ok.

      Fortunately she's got probably a good bit in the can already!!! LOL! I saw this item earlier in the day. I guess she was not on contract. I put this under spoiler space for you.

      Jason, can you give me those dates, pretty please? If so, I'll do an edit of her. She was such a delight.

      Sure, babe. I found those once when I was desperately searching for an Alexandra Spaulding dinner party date & I literally struck out everywhere else. We should throw a cyber party & invite Matt Smith & ChickenNuggetz* & whoever helps them with the Vault & Jason47 & Eddie Drueding ...

      My late mom remembered Jordan Clarke as Tim Ryan.. and she said he was vastly different than Billy.  She also said she remembered that Rita and Evie were more tangled up with Tim when both came on the show.. while he ended up leaving with another character.   Then Rita was moved into the Ed/Holly orbit taking on the scheming traits of Holly (this was around the time of the original Holly leaving), and Evie got pulled into Ben's orbit.. but not sure if this was during his brief relationship with Hope or not.

      Not Doug acting like people felt Dani might act during this Ted reveal.   Awww an Andre/Eva scene.    Oooo Silk Press Sheila and her crazy woman music.    MMmmmm...multiple cliffhangers!!!! Kat vs Eva. Nicole vs Ted.    Awww hell no!!! Not Silk Press Sheila confronting the Duprees. Anita might eat her alive. lol. And I was never so glad as to not see them. I was already annoyed at Vanessa/Doug interrupting the action. I actually might have felt a way about seeing them. For once. lol. I do think they were edited out though.   I mean...it's kinda hard NOT to look so      Ooooo I didn't think about that.

      Rest in peace, Ruth Buzzi! Laugh In was before my time, but from the clips I have come across on YouTube, she was a very funny lady. Prayers to her loved ones.
