So far, Anita and Patrick have daughters but where's Patrick Jr? There's gotta be at least one rat bastard smart alec son somewhere. Maybe they introduce him later?

She's not based out of Atlanta, so I doubt she'd be considered. Unless she's willing to relocate to Atlanta, which I don't see happening.

Well there has to be a rotten apple somewhere.

For many years, As The World Turns had a strong connection to Chicago. Many of the characters frequented Chicago on business and commerce. From what I remember (someone can correct me if I’m wrong) Tamara Tunie’s character Jessica Griffin, although the character was born and raised in the Bronx was living and working in Chicago when Tom Hughes recruited her to move to Oakdale to join his law firm.

MVJ is an active member in the WGA and “friends” with many writers she hasn’t worked directly with.

Why would the name "Jackson" be problematic for this show's core family?  Am I missing something?

[Vee]

I just figured maybe an abuse story was in the offing.

I would hope that even without Jesus's help, or Soap Jesus's help, either one of 'em, that with just a smidge of self-control, we could avoid, evade, misplace, or otherwise do away with our non-favorite misogyny-writing, in joke referencing, possibly retired to a beach, former Llanview, Port Charles & Salem resident writer, now & forever more.

This. I was pretty cool with a few things remaining as they were. This was one of them. The Jacksons sounded just fine for this show's core family. I was also fully prepared to embrace the name of Betty as well. I hope they keep the names of Patrick, Joseph, and Marcus at least.

They just announced three actors who don't live in Atlanta. Atlanta is now a major hub for actors. I don't think anybody will be turning it down for that reason. If they'll relocate to more expensive LA or NY, why wouldn't they relocate to Atlanta? Especially as hard as it is to get a job right now. Also, for Black actors in particular, I just don't see them making the location an issue. They have less opportunities and the majority of what they do have is in Atlanta right now.

If anything, Y&R fans need to be concerned about him being out of work. IMO, at least.
