Poor TJ.  Molly/TJ were finally going to get a story and Haley Pullos had to mess it all up.

As far as DT, I agree there were missed opportunities in the past for his character and chemistry was ignored to pair him with a Black actress.  I don't think he's underutilized now.  In fact, he's over utilized IMO.  I honestly don't think DT and BK have much chemistry though, but there are many white couples on the show that have no chemistry too.  I hope the new regime will take that into account.

Exactly. Curtis is given the lion's share of story despite the fact that he's the least dynamic character and actor.

If Mulcahey has any power and if MVJ is truly back, my desperate hope against hope is we'll finally see a real Ward revival on the canvas. I remember JFP and Guza patting themselves on the back in the soap press over adding Annie Ilonzeh as Maya (and promising over and over to add her sister Zoe, which never happened) only to do nothing with her and to let her dip for a primetime gig and fizzle out for months. Imagine Steve Burton's (admittedly very weathered) face if they brought back Keesha.

Totally agree. They need a new Spencer. NAC just wasn't working for me once he got so high and mighty. All his scenes became Emmy reels. The overacting and fast talking was just too much. Trina needs a different Spencer when he comes back. And please don't cast for someone who is over 6' tall.

Of course! We all saw the turtle dove figurine laying in the water. RME

In my opinion, there doesn't need to be any rule that male or female actors should be taller/shorter than the actors who portray their romantic partners; and there doesn't need to be any rule about how much any height difference should be.

I like that actors in pairings sometimes have unconventional differences in height.  It's more relatable to real life.

He certainly would not be the first or the last incredibly talented & good-looking young person with a vocal, active fan base, to develop an ego & an attitude & to want to jump ship & leave long before their contract date & well before they ever booked a second gig. Some people will see this while others may not. It's an old story. 

I imagine it is 99.99% sure that he had no knowledge of anything going on at the show. He would have no reason or rationale to not want to work with new writers.

    • The thing with Martin (for me) is that he should have been Anita and Vernon's kid. I honestly think he would have been fine being an older or younger brother to Dani and Nicole. It also would have made his relationship and kids feel more realistic. A handsome salt and pepper late 40s/early 50s congressman who settled down and adopted kids to fit an image for politics. Not that he didn't want this lifestyle but it is what he needed to do to get ahead. Also, we don't often get older characters playing LGBT roles not just on daytime but across most media. It would have been a refreshing take. As an alternative, Sam and Ty could have been Martin's kids from an earlier marriage a la the NJ governor that was outed. We could have also seen parallels between Vernon and Anita thinking back to how they handled Martin coming out compared to the way they accepted Chelsea.  As for Martin being Nicole and Ted's kid, I do wish in this case he was not tied to a marriage and kids, so that he could date and sleep around like any other character on a soap.  Yeah, I didn't get it...but what I did get is that girl is a bit crazy like her mama.  Vanessa and Joey talking about the poker table...get these people off my screen.

    • Unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show should have reunited Billy/Vanessa at all until the final stretch of the show. When watching the 1989 episodes when both Vanessa and Billy return after being off the show... I liked that Vanessa had moved on from him and that the show was hinting at her wanting to reunite with her first love Ross while looking down at Nadine for being the one Ross was dating.  And I loved the twist where Billy and Nadine teamed up to keep Vanessa/Ross apart.   This was an interesting concept that sadly the writers dropped with the show deciding to make Vanessa pine over Billy between 1990 and 1993 when they finally reunited.   To me, Vanessa pining over Billy seemed out of character. At least once Billy was carted off to prison in 1994... she and Billy divorced and stayed divorced until the final months when they finally found their way back together.  During the years when they were divorced, I liked that they had maintained a friendship and connection.. with viewers (like my late mom) wondering if they would ever decide to make it work again. I wish the show had tried that with Josh/Reva because by the time of the final episode when they rode off into the sunset, I didn't care because we'd been through the make up and break ups between them for over 10+ years by that point.
    • I break down the primetime soap era (start of Dallas to end of Knots Landing) as  Up to Spring 1982: Building the foundation. Fall 1982-Spring 1985: Peak. Fall 1985-Spring 1988: Tanking. Fall 1988 onward: Off the rails plus budget mode. Of course individual shows vary and I've broken down each show in their threads.
    • I’m ready for Portia and Curtis to divorce and get it over with. Portia cheating with Isaiah would make for a fun love quadrangle with Jordan.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this
