Ivy is a throw away character. There's no reason for her to return for the third time.

Bradley is such a hack writer who's run out of ideas.

I have a feeling Ivy was axed the second time and brought back after Bradley had no fresh story ideas.

I've never understood why they keep ignoring Jessica and Maggie in all of this. Even if they have to recast Jessica, I'd still bring her back. Maggie would also make more sense introducing this character, but this is obviously another last minute thrown together mess from Brad.

The only role of Barbara Crampton that matters is Y&R Leanna. Her runs on GL (granted I didn't watch in real time, I only saw part of it online) and B&B were thankless and wasted her talent.

So true.

Her run as Mindy was okay, miles ahead of her dreadful predecessor Ann Hamilton, but definitely nowhere close to Krista and Kimberly.

I did find it odd that BC and VI had a Nick and Mindy reunion on Y&R in January 2007 when Leanna randomly returned to interview David Chow about Carmen’s murder for a couple of episodes. Given the state of both GL and Y&R at that time heck I would’ve preferred both on GL just for the 70th anniversary as opposed to the Carmen/Ines doppelgänger crap. 

Maggie started out rough with that ridiculous trashy triangle with her sleeping with Dylan while he was on the outs with Jessica or something. She had a spark with Connor but Thudley just never used Connor to his full potential. Once Maggie married James and adopted Mary it was on. The famous fire-poker catfight between Maggie and Sheila and then Maggie becoming both emotionally and mentally unmoored herself in late ‘97 and early ‘98 was actually well received and acclaimed at the time, but these days is largely forgotten and ignored. 

SOD even made reference to Maggie’s fate here:

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
