After not following RonC on social media due to how he utilized the communication tool, I started following his Instagram.  And now that I've seen his beach house, and his other properties, I think he's having the last laugh.  It is a nice life that he has made for himself.  I sincerely doubt he would work on another show because he doesn't seem to need the income from being a staff writer.

That being said, I began to wonder which of his characters would survive into the next regime.  I would put them into separate categories.  We have legacy characters like Allie, Alex, and Johnny whose personalities have been defined by the current writing, but were already part of the cannon. Then, we've got Jada, Chanel, Paulina, and Leo who are all leading players created during his tenure.  And finally, we have people like Connie who seem designed to be short term players, because they serve a specific story. 

I know Leo has his detractors, and so I'm not interested in responses based on people's taste or desires.  But, I am honestly interested if people think that Jada, Paulina, and Chanel will be around two years from now (given that RonC has written well into 2025).

I think Paulina will at least stay on due to her marriage with Abe, plus I think the higher ups like having Jackée Harry on the show. So Chanel might stay on by default. 

Jada? She was essentially created because they like the idea of having a woman black cop after Sal Stowers' exited. I could see her go either way tbh.

I like the actress playing Jada, but I am slightly concerned that she'll be backburnered because every new regime seems to try to get rid of Rafe as their first order of business.

And with new Hernandez men on the horizon, he may not be necessary as a talk-to for his sister.

I also wonder if the Greene family will survive the change?  They seem vital to the current Abby story, but may not have long term staying power.

IIRC, AnnaLynne only signed a years' contract so I think her story was always limited. It was reported that she signed a contract in December 2023, so I guess it'll become obvious from social media if she's staying beyond that.

Slight tangent, AnnaLynne's raucous rugby player boyfriend Danny Cipriani's divorce was featured in the tabloids yesterday, and they only referenced her as a former 90210 starlet, so the tabs are ignoring DAYS press releases.

I recall that Steve Burton also only signed for one year, but it felt much longer.

It would be nice to have a new family in Salem, but I suspect most writers want the chance to start their own legacy from scratch, like Marland did with the Snyders on ATWT.

Is anyone else surprised that Sonja Alarr is still on staff?

Not that she should be punished for her husband's issues, but I thought she'd be gone by now.  Yet, she wrote Friday's script, when Gabi needed to flashback a third time to Connie telling her to cheat on Stefan.  As if, Gabi heeds the advice of her assistant that she has worked with for a total of two days. 

I guess we don't hear about it as often when staff writers depart, and last Friday's script could've been written in 1882 by the time it got to air.

    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
