JW was serving up some grande dame diva fierceness. Jill needs to be back full time and be Genoa City's grande dame. It's something that feels natural at this point.  

If only JG would use her. I'm happy he's been doing that well so far this week. Did you see today's episode? 

JW has made it clear her life is in Oregon now; she’ll only agree to recurring. I think that’s been part of the struggle to continue to write for her. We’re honestly lucky they haven’t killed Jill off, or erased her existence completely, lol

That's good to hear. I wasn't sure how adamant JW was about that these days.

 

But very true. Very lucky she has not been killed off or erased.

But no hair toss will ever match 1999 opening credits

I know is Jess’ preference but I will always blame MAB & Co for trying their best to ruin the character or write Jill off. 

Just beautiful!

 

Today Tuesday’s episode didn’t disappoint either with the Victor/Jill scenes and the Sharon/Phyllis scenes. OMG!

I didn't like Victor throwing her screw up son and health problems in Jill's face. Guess that's in character though 😅

We should absolutely blame MAB and Co. for chasing Jess off the show and marginalizing Jill. Jess has even said as much herself - she was ready to retire in 2012 after her contract expired, and she didn’t get the sense MAB and Co. had much value for Jill. MAB didn’t even try to keep her either or promise her a story either. 

When MAB was canned that year, it was JFP (who Jess liked a lot) who reached back out to Jess and asked her to come back - Jess agreed, but only on recurring as she had already packed up her life with her late husband and moved to Oregon. Her status has been the same ever since.

Oh definitely agree! Remember when MAB wanted to recast Jill with Mel Harris or tried replacing both MTS and JW with Genie Francis’ Genevieve character? Major yikes!

Same thing goes with Ashley Abbott….Bell loved writing for Ashley and had her recast twice. Meanwhile everyone who wrote out Ashley ended up getting fired shortly afterwards ie Latham, MAB & Co, Mal Young. 

And @Taoboi I should go back and snap up a shot of Eileen’s shot in today’s opening as well.

Personally I’d love to a divas only opening for one of these special episodes lol. @YRfan23 @Taoboi I’d say the diva opening should feature the classic trio of MTS, JW, and TEB first, throw in MS and SW, add CH, ZS, and AL for our modern ladies and close out with BM and ED. 😄

I remember it was very telling that Genevieve's last episode was Jill's return episode, they going/coming thru the same door. lol.

I would be down for that.

I'm totally down for that! 🥰

New costume designer confirms her work is not yet on-screen. She posted a pic in her IG stories of Abby in her wedding dress.

I’m guessing Ed Scott has been hands-on with the wardrobe department and had a hand in selecting a new Costume Designer when the last one wasn’t up to par, lol

Looks like her first credited episode as Costume Designer is on 11/18 (next Monday).
