this is legitimately amazing, but too bad the writing is just not there to support their ability. Look at what they did to Colleen Zenk. Yikes. And like I was saying, Camryn Grimes is an outrageously talented actress and she is doing her absolute best with the material she's been given but the story is just SO DUMB (embarrassing, really) even she can't save it. 

There are 247 people on the planet with the name "Bacall" with 191 being in the United States. Lauren Bacall used her mother's Romanian surname of "Bacal" but added an extra L, so it's likely most people actually with that name co-opted it from Lauren and it has no real historical distribution for the most part. It gives fan fiction for the writers to use that name.

It shows!

To be fair, it's still not as bad to me as that Genie Francis joins Y&R promo.

What confuses me is where Tamara and Roger previously worked together. Was it on GH? I was not watching the show for her stint.

She'd be better in the role of Carly today than she was at the time as she has more of a weathered (in a good way) look that I think fits Carly more than the aggressive PTA parent look.

I tend to agree. As soon as I hear the name I think of Lauren Bacall, and nothing on Y&R for a long time now compares to Lauren Bacall.

I believe they did briefly, and I think they shared some story during the terrible "Franco has been uploaded with Drew's memories of his past life and thinks he's Drew" plotline (Kim Nero was Drew's old flame from his youth and the mother of his son). But I couldn't bear to watch virtually any of that so don't quote me.

I do think Tamara looks great but this whole situation seems sad. I would take her back as Carly at GH (even if I prefer Sarah Brown, and LW has always done a good job) but that is now unlikely to happen based on scuttlebutt about her last run.

Thanks.

A shame about her last run, although that seemed like a mess even just reading about it, and I guess Frank doesn't forget.

I don't think there's much love lost there (especially if it was true she was initially approached to reprise Carly, then got shafted and discarded). But Frank has mended fences in worse situations.

Roger Howarth hasn't been relevant since 1993. He has been an albatross since then.

Same.
