Maybe Brad Bell will scoop her up as Felicia Forrester?

Joking aside, I’m sorry she’s being treated this way…. FV really is on the top of the  “s*it list” when it comes to toxic EPs and HWs

Or working his way to get there. 

 

Same.

 

Cuz she had built in storylines coming. It's like having a spoiler without wanting it. Almost. 

 

 

Well since online is beating the drum for cancellation already...ANYTHING could happen.  

 

I mean...I hoped all year since the PM arriving-as-HW news that Lucky was finally coming home along with Lulu...and what's happening on screen as I type.

Tuning back in after not watching for years I could not for the life of me understand why the show used her so sparingly. From the time she came over from Port Charles she has been one of the faces of the series and now she feels like a supporting bit player.

Lindsay Hartley popping up as a temp last week during very important scenes just felt like a bad sign, but I was expecting to hear she’d be a permanent replacement soon, not that KeMo would be dropped and the character killed off, yikes.

I remember that JvD rumor going around. And didn’t Zimmer allude to it in her book? I know she said Wheeler tried to guilt her into it by saying that very thing- if they don’t get cuts people will be going.

I am not a fan of Kim’s, but I 100% agree with her. First of all, they have a union to protect them. Second the networks have treated many actors like dogshit for decades, working these daytime actors into the ground for mostly their benefit. Third it is bad faith to even ask. I don’t care how much we love these shows, the people that work there deserve their negotiated job protections and money, no matter how much the ratings drop.

Wheeler didn’t just fire her because she probably had contract provisions about paying her out. Back then the bigger stars had terms to protect them from the generic 13 week cycle. Some of the top dogs had to be paid out no matter what the cycle of the show wished to let them go.

I see we're back to this again, like clockwork just like I mentioned on a previous page (I'm not blaming you for it at all, to be clear - I agree with you). I had plenty of criticisms of Zimmer in the Rauch years, but Kim laid out that story re: JVD and others very clearly in her book and it was always BS that they tried to blame her for the other exits. She had a contract and she stuck by it. No matter how much folks try to rep for Marley on Another World, she was the hatchet woman for those departures and she contributed heavily to getting GL cancelled, period.

Now back to Kelly Monaco!

    • I know Daphnee's back hurts, because she was carrying Maurice through those scenes! Still not loving the idea of replacing the actor, but he was giving very little.  Brandon's scenes with Leslie did not hit the way they were supposed to because I was busting out laughing.  One thing I enjoy about this soap is how it plays with the nuance of good and evil. Kat vs Eva and Anita vs Leslie. There are some things that Kat and Anita said that makes it hard to root for them and how the Duprees can be family over everything to a fault. It almost makes them come across as entitled and unlikely at times. And while what Lesile and Eva have done is wrong in different ways, you can see that hurt and sympathize.  Now, what I don't get is what Lesile thought she was doing expecting the Duprees to accept Eva with open arms. Honey, Eva is a Richardson not a Dupree. In the Dupree world, she's Ted's problem unless they choose otherwise, because there ain't a drop of Dupree blood coursing throught her veins (unless we learn otherwise in some twist). Ted is lucky if they don't disown his ass.   
    • I think maybe viewers needed a break from Aaron Spelling by 1985 or 1986. He had a series, Macgruder and Loud, which I recall, even as a young teen, getting TONS of promotion with even a post-Super Bowl slot, and it failed. Viewers probably were - as said here - tired of soapy fare and went elsewhere. But they must have missed him since, as we know, Spelling rose from the TV ashes in the '90s with Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place!
    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
