Last bit of recapper info

Damn I love Kelly and her JE love! She didn't say by any chance if she and Jane share any upcoming scenes did she? Lusam recapper?

We were teased by the Tram fake spoilers this spring for when Luke left and they would be running the HS together!

No she never said, but we never asked either. But she seems to adore her.

Ah, Hooked, I love that! You are so good. This totally beats waking up to orange yesterday. JE just cracks me up. Consistently we are told she's funny and brilliant. And the hair... well I don't mind the current cut but they could do so much more with it. The "collar and leash" doo was great. She's looking too much like my mother these days to be comfortable for me.

You know, I'm starting to wonder if there is somethings TPTB know about aging actors that they themselves don't want to acknowledge. Anna Lee was removed from contract and died not long afterwards. I know the general feeling on that one was that her termination lead to an early death, but perhaps those behind the scenes knew something about her health and ability that the audience will never know. Same for the guy who played Asa Buchanan on OLTL. They accomodated his cancer and then brought him back, but perhaps it was just more than he could deal with and the works was adversely affecting his health. DOOL has taken a different approach with Francis Reed and kept her on contract but only brings her out for Christmas and July 4th (which she couldn't even do this year). Now Stuart Damon is having health issues and needs surgery. I'm guessing his back is bad since Alan looked incredibly stiff those last few years.

I think it's easy as fans to get up in the air about the replacement of vets, especially when they seem so calous in how it's done and are often talking about money being an issue. However these actors are aging and won't be around forever. Part of the profile for actors is to think you are God's gift to the world and without you things won't work (they have to have this mentality in the early days to survive that cutthroat field, so that I understand). But often as people age there is great denial that their bodies won't do everything they need anymore. These folks are getting into their 70's, 80's and 90's, long past the point the average person has retired. I know they do what they do because they love it, but what toll is it taking?

Perhaps TPTB were trying to be kind to SD two years ago, take the blame while he could still walk out in dignity. It didn't appear that way and SD certainly didn't seem to take it that way, but maybe that's what was truly behind Alan's death.

Every time someone new comes into soap land, they tend to say one of two things. It's either they are impressed with the calibre of the acting OR they talk about how fast paced everything is. If the directors have to do multipul takes because one aging performer can't do it as well, where do they draw the line between sentimentality and business?

Good theory but I 100% believe they screwed over Stuart Damon and totally blindsighted him. I know it was only throwing fans a bone to appease them due to pressure over his firing that we got ghost alan.

I, in no way, think they did him a favor whatsoever. I think he has had back problems for years. For as little as he was doing anyway on the show, I doubt it was taxing to his health, etc.

I just think it is what it is...complete lack of vision, complete lack of care for core families and what made the show what it once was, and ....oh shoot have to leave to go drive carpool and get off my soapbox!

Later guys...

Oh don't misunderstand, I think he was blindsided too and he certainly felt 'screwed over'. All I'm trying to suggest is that there might be a little bit of thought into some of this along the way. Not every vet is killed, some are still doing well (depending on the show, some better than others). And some do know when to call it a day (John Clarke, DAYS, and the one who played Audrey, just can't remember her name off hand). I also believe GH doesn't know what to do with it's history and are running in circles. I'm just saying it might not be as black and white as fans, rumours and magazines might have us believe.

So Miss Thing.. (yeah, I'm talking to you, Hooked); you give me grief about kicking up the dirt on SOC but you're rolling in it over on SD. Pot and Kettle much?

(Incidentally, vino is much better than OJ for breakfast, and my kid's French tutor is excited to get started immediately. Life is good this morning :P .)

Aw but the difference is I am commenting on TC's very well-known status of stealing storylines and whining and using his FOJ influence to get things changed the way he wants them...not spinning my wheels with fanatical fans!!! Channel that energy into your writing!!!!

So pot/kettle? Not so much! LOL!!! Okay maybe a little.

Maybe a LOT!!!

The kids have gone next door for their French lesson. I am such a happy mommy!!! It's July and they are willingly doing their school work - doesn't get better than that.

BTW, Hooked, I muck up all sorts of stuff on SOC. I've found many kindred spirits, just as you have on SD. Only advantage for you is that they actually know something. SOC is just a sharing of opinions. So muck away, my friend... we need everything you can learn.

    • I saw a new BTG promo during Watson tonight (Sunday May 11).   I don't remember what I saw (and I wouldn't say here on the nonspoiler thread anyhow). I know only that it was different from the "next on BTG" preview at the end of Friday's episode. If anyone catches the new promo, please post it on the spoiler thread.
    • I hope GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial I'd love to have Scott, Robert, Holly, Rose Kelly, Mike Webber, Blackie Parish  & Claudia Phillips return for the episodes
    • As requested by @BoldRestless the 1976 story summary of Y&R from the Daytime serial newsletter. I will post it in parts as it is quite detailed.  Pt 1 Set in Midwestern Genoa City, The Young and the  Restless, which premiered four years ago, is the story of the Brooks and Foster families. Jennifer and Stuart Brooks are, on the surface, the perfect couple, blessed with four beautiful daughters, but under the veneer of a first impression lie cracks in the facade. Jennifer had become dissatisfied with her marriage after the birth of her oldest daughter, Leslie, and had left Stuart with the idea of returning to her former fiancé, Dr. Bruce Henderson. After later reconciling with Stuart, Jennifer found she was pregnant with Laurie, and she has lived all these years with the suspicion that Laurie may be Bruce’s daughter. Leslie  has recovered from a nervous breakdown and is now a famous concert pianist, happily married to former Surgeon now newspaperman Brad Elliot.  . Chris Brooks is married to Dr. William (Snapper) Foster, and Peggy, the youngest Brooks daughter, is a college student. Jennifer recently left Stuart a second time, considering again a life with Bruce, but the discovery of a lump in her breast followed by a mastectomy for cancer has again changed her priorities.   Laurie, meanwhile, has been dating Dr. Mark Henderson, Bruce’s son.  Snapper’s mother, Liz Foster, had finally accepted the fact that her husband, Bill, had abandoned their family and had had him declared dead when he suddenly walked back into their lives, suffering from emphysema. Jill, Liz and Bill’s only daughter, was married to Phillip Chancellor, the father of her unborn child, just hours before his death. Phillip obtained a quick Caribbean divorce upon learning of his impending fatherhood and was badly injured when his now-ex-wife, Kay, meeting him at the airport upon his return, lost control of the car when he told her of his plans to marry Jill. After Phillip’s death Kay vowed to void his marriage to Jill and deprive Jill of |his estate. Kay’s son from her first marriage, Brock Reynolds, supports Jill in her claim, but Kay, a former alcoholic, cannot accept the idea of having lost Phillip to her former paid companion. Greg Foster, Jill and Snapper’s brother, is an attorney working for Legal Aid, where Chris is his assistant. Upon learning that her daughter Lauralee has become engaged to Dr. Bruce Henderson’s son Mark,Jennifer Brooks tells Mark she suspects he and.Laurie are half brother and sister. She explains she spent a week with Bruce after a bad fight with her husband, Stuart, when she believed their marriage was over. A blood test confirms her fears—Stuart cannot be Laurie’s father. Keeping what he’s learned to himself,Mark painfully breaks his engagement to Laurie and leaves town. Laurie is shattered by this, unable to understand what went wrong. But soon she begins to put bits and pieces together and confronts hermother, asking what she said to Mark that drove him away. Jennifer finally tells her daughter the truth and stands helplessly as Laurie turns to run to her father for comfort and suddenly realizes he’s not her father—even this her mother has taken from her. Laurie follows Mark to Cleveland and tries to persuade him that they can still be married—they need not have children—only to be hurt again when Mark sadly tells her their love would become dirty and they would wind up hating themselves and each other. Heart broken, Laurie agrees to let him go. Jennifer has recently left Stuart, due to growing frustration in her marriage, and had planned to marry Bruce, but discovery of breast cancer and a subsequent mastectomy caused her to reconsider her plans. When Stuart earnestly pleaded with her to come home to him and their daughters after her recovery, she agreed, but now her guilt over Laurie’s situation has caused her to waver. When Laurie confides the truth to her older sister Leslie, Les makes it clear to her mother that she finds the idea that Jennifer would think of returning to her father contemptible. But Brad Elliot,Leslie’s husband, warns her to hide her feelings or her father will notice and ask for an explanation.Jennifer gives in to Stuart’s wishes, and he welcomes her home as his wife again. Leslie has had two more piano-concert triumphs and basks in the attention of the music world, as well as that of Lance Prentiss, a wealthy industrialist who has been following her career with avid interest. Les invites Lance home to Genoa City, hoping the dynamic, handsome young titan of business can help distract Laurie from her heartbreak. With the birth of Jill Foster’s baby imminent, Kay Chancellor offers Jill one million dollars for the child —fathered by her late husband, Phillip Chancellor. After Phillip’s death Kay had the divorce ruled invalid and voided Jill’s marriage, making her unborn child illegitimate. But now, finally acknowledging Jill’s baby as Phillip’s, Kay tells Jill she can give the child the Chancellor name and social position, as well as the love she had for Phillip. Jill, torn by love for Phillip and his baby and the extreme financial need of her family (Jill’s father is dying of emphysema and needs a warm, dry climate), realizes that Kay can give her child everything he could need, things Jill could never provide, and agrees to Kay’s terms.  Jill’s son, Phillip Chancellor Foster, is born prematurely a few days later. Liz Foster, Jill’s mother, is horrified that Jill would “sell” her son to Kay, and Jill’s father, Bill, is horrified that it is concern for his health that led Jill to this arrangement. He would rather die than give up his grandson. But when Jill, who has avoided seeing her child, has to take physical custody of him in order to deliver him to Kay, she is suddenly unable to give him up.

        haha you did good explaining all that. So basically Monday's episode is gonna be what was suppose to be Friday's episode. Even though CBS and PPlus uploaded Monday's Aka Friday's show before they deleted it? LOL
    • I do mean those two, but when I download them, the Chris from Greece version is from RTL with subtitles and starts with a doctor greeting Stephanie and the rsclassicfanfanforever version is from Videoland, no subtitles and starts with Tawny and Becky? Sorry if this was already discussed. Is the Chris version merged with another episode? That one is longer.
    • B&B episode Episode #9521 (Season 38, Episode 162) was scheduled for Thurs. May 8. It was officially preempted, although some areas saw it, (Some areas saw the Steffy/Finn/Monaco rerun on May 8.) cbs.com and PPlus had 9521 (S38,E162) uploaded on May 8, despite it being preempted from that date, and they never took it down. B&B officially aired #9521 (S38, E162) on broadcast CBS television on Fri. May 9. B&B officially postponed the next episode #9522 (Season 38, Episode 163) to air on Mon. May 12. cbs.com and PPlus had #9522 (S38, E163) uploaded Fri. May 9, despite it not airing yet on broadcast tv until Mon. May 12. cbs.com and PPlus still had the early upload of 9522/S38,E163 available on their websites for about a day and a half, LOL,... (even though it doesn't air until May 12)... and then they finally removed it from their websites.   ALSO... at the same time as removing 9522/S38,E163 . . . .  cbs.com and PPlus fixed the website label for #9521 (S38, E162), which had displayed as "May 8" but now correctly says "May 9". --------------------------- Meanwhile, B&B in Canada "ctv.ca" Canada uploaded #9521 (S38, E162) on Thurs. May 8, because they didn't realize at first that it was preempted in USA. Eventually ctv.ca Canada deleted the early upload of S38,E162. But then... "ctv.ca" Canada didn't re-upload #9521 (S38, 162), even after it aired in the USA officially on May 9. And apparently they were afraid to upload anything new, so for a couple of days, the most recent episode available  on ctv.ca was Wed. May 7,  #9520 (S38, E161). Finally  "ctv.ca" Canada uploaded *BOTH* of these: #9521 (S38, 162) (USA official airdate Fri. May 9)... And #9522 (S38, 163) (USA official airdate Mon. May 12)... listing it as as Monday May 12 and it's still on their website. --------------------------- Meanwhile, B&B in Australia: "10play.com.au" fast-track Australia seemed to know what to do. They waited until 9521 aired in USA officially before uploading to their site. They haven't uploaded 9522 yet. (I don't have access to view Australia episodes, but I can see their menu. I kept checking their website multiple times over the past few days, and I saw the thumbnails and episode descriptions.)  ------------------- That was extremely confusing for me to type up. I probably made some errors. LOL.
