Well, I’m probably gonna hate it… but if it helped lead to Ron’s firing, I can overlook it

I’m surprised there wasn’t any cross promotion lol

And no more multiple characters being played by the same actor over and over again. If you absolutely have to recast a character, bring on someone else who hasn't been on the show yet.

Who knew that Ari Zucker would make it SO easy to see her written out?

[carolineg]

I don't think writing Ari/Nicole out was easy per say, but that was a good conclusion.  It's "easy" to give her a happy ending with Eric, but there is years left of story to play.  

[Taoboi]

As I was watching recap, I was wondering if they were doing that so thank you for mentioning that.

 

So just to be clear...they have finally gotten to the part of their filming schedule where AZ exits and Nicole is leaving with ERIC? They gave her the happy ending. Is GV gone gone? Because my Ericole heart would not at all mind that.

I heard rumors that

But with the way that today was written, it seemed like he’s leaving too. And that Ericole was finally getting their happily ever after

@AbcNbc247 thanks for letting me know. Let me see if I can see those scenes online then.

After years of will-they/won't-they and times they were about to with one or the other actor leaving, I would like to see those scenes.

LMFAO.  She is NOT one of the best actresses on the show.  She's a terrible recast as Theresa, most of her run as Theresa has been slightly passable and sometimes terrible with only a couple of episodes of her entire run as Theresa where she has been good.  This is the most ridiculous recast in DAYS and daytime history.   When Theresa goest to prison, hopefully, she is off the show, and we don't get the played-out pathetic whiney Gwen back, she overran her course.  I will say her acting as Gwen was much, much better than her poor job as Theresa. 

Agreed.  If not already gone, axe Emily O'Brien and IF Therea is brought back recast, or maybe Jen Lilley could return.  I would also recast Ben Weston, IF he ever returns, maybe with the original actor Justin Gaston, who was great as Chance on Y&R.

Keep that serial killer off canvas forever.

[AbcNbc247]

What a decline from yesterday.

If this is what we’re in store for, for the next few months, then it’s no wonder that Ron was fired. 

Literally the only thing that interested me was Johnny/Chanel. I had a feeling that Johnny was gonna end up working for Body and Soul and as stupid as that is, hopefully it could lead to a good storyline for him and Chanel. Between that and the aftermath of the miscarriage, there’s a lot that they could do with them. 

Maybe the new writers will bring Ciara back to Salem… as a grieving widow

And have her accuse Andrew and the ISA of having Ben killed. 

[Contessa Donatella]

OMG! Toups, you are flying in the face of the majority of the fans. Well, fans always disagree, so that's okay. But to me EOB has had two chances, both failures. Obviously she is not at all best at anything on this show, IMO. 

I watched yesterday twice. RARE. My rose is clearly Nicole & Eric. My thorn is that damned soap within a soap. Put up with it for months last year. Now they want to torture us again?

Eric & Nicole told so lovingly, lots of flashbacks, nice music under it all, almost a montage, and FINALLY kisses, touches & love-making. I posted to Scott McKinsey telling him congrats on the episode. Also rare.

I definitely wanna give EOB her flowers and kudos for portraying Theresa. It wasn't easy, and heck from what it appears it wasn't her choice either, but she made a valiant effort in trying to play a vastly different character, moreso than alot of actors who have been put in her place (I'm looking at you Michael Easton and Roger Howarth). While at times I was left wondering how her predecessor would've played it, I can't say that EOB ever phoned it in. 

[Khan]

I'd bring back Ben, but only to revert him to his former, serial-killing ways.  Then, I'd kill him off.

Ben Rogers should never return as a character, EVER!

If she did come back, I suspect a recast would be in-play for anything other than a guest appearance.

[carolineg]

I have always thought EOB was a good actress.  She was just given two horrible characters to play.  Theresa is a decent character, but between the wig and the awful writing, EOB did the best she could.
