Finola contract most likely was up and she negotiated a break. She most likely will be back on contract when her story resumes.

(sigh) I hope she returns with a decent story! And decent pay!

I don't want to see Anna's twin Alex. I don't wan to see Anna entwined with Faison/Peter/Nathan/Obrecht plots. I'm okay with Mac having raised Maxie, so Anna being Mac's sister-in-law and Maxie's aunt, but the Scorpio connection to Maxie is my limit -- keep her out of Faison family cr@p.

I don't want to see Anna loving or crying about criminals!

Anna Devane was my first favorite soap character, back in her first few years.

But I only want to see Finola/Anna as a STRONG vibrant intelligent kicka$s woman who fights for what's great. If GH won't do that, then let Finola shine elsewhere.

let me clear this up but Dom confirmed last night in a zoom that he was getting tested with Liz and ship name is Eldante or Diz. Ric and Ava floundered due to poor story planning and an issue with scheduling. They may get a revisit.

I'm of two minds. I'm very glad they're handling it in story (though I would make it a major arc for Laura going fwd leading to the end of her marriage and a new love interest), but I also hope they show those talking-head cast interviews.

I'm here for Dante/Liz and, hopefully, not a rehash of whatever Dante and Sam were. The writers just put them together without much story. I also still like Ric/Liz. Liz needs to be wooed, flown out and put into a mattress by the silver foxes of Port Charles this year.

As for the Luke tribute, I wonder if the show got Jonathan Jackson back for it. Even if it's just Lucky somewhere thinking of his dad. Lucky's character has become a disaster, but for a moment, he was so important to the canvas and the L&L legacy.

Because she's a Webber, Liz should be lead. So many popular pairings that she had a spoil of riches to choose from with all of them back in town SINGLE when she was SINGLE and the writers did NOTHING. Yes, I'm STILL bitter.

Such a no brainer that she is not featured even more.

FACTS. She really doesn't need Lucky to flourish. Just better writing/writers.
Very much love all of this. I think it's why Korte/CVE second year has worked so well because it has found a similar mix of this. Granted not in the way that I would like, but the pieces are there. Like you say, they really just have to be willing to make those tweaks. I would also add that it couldn't hurt to write romance (or even passion) like adults and not interchangeable juvenile teens. It's giving latter years OLTL but not as well-written.

And rightly so! Same for Genie. Frank...can stay pressed.

It goes without saying I agree with everyone in that last paragraph right down to Val. I feel that frustration. Even people who don't like Liz can see it from an objective soap POV.

Not All 'Soap' Writers Tormented New Yorkers By JAY SHARBUTT
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Most soap operas are taped in New York, and their characters and plots have much grief and woe, It must mean all their writers are tormented New Yorkers, reflecting the travails of Fun City. Guess again. Case in point: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Soderberg, head writers on CBS' "As the World Turns." They say they're quite happy. They should be. Their show is taped in New York, but they cook up its daily diet of angst from 2,800 mites away, working at their home in the pleasant, unhurried coastal city of Santa Barbara, Calif.
Soderberg only laughed when a caller suggested it must be awful hard in all that tranquility for him and the Mrs. to compose dally difficulties acted out in the frenetic, nervous hamlet of New York. "No, there's an advantage to it," he said. "We're more out in the world than you are if you're in the world where they make the show. "Very often, we'll say (to the show's, East Coast end), 'Please look out the window and see what the rest of the world is doing.' Sometimes there are little everyday things you don't see or do in New York." And, he said, the community In which he and his wife live "pretty much reflects everyday stories" of the sort going round and round on "As the World Turns," a show they've been lead writers on for three years. The Soderbergs have been writing for 30 years, and married for 28 years, but they only began writing soaps together eight years ago when they started as a team on "Guiding Light." How do they put together their New York shows from California?
Soderberg says it works this way: They create what they call "the longterm story," which charts the course of the plots, subplots, stars and lesser players for as much as a year in advance. Then they outline every act in each show, writing a detailed daily outline concerning what the day's plot and characters are up to, occasionally tossing in suggested lines of dialogue. As the show became an hour long opus last December, this works out to seven acts per show, 35 acts a week, 52 weeks a year. Wen the Soderbergs the only writers, this might cause a buzzing in the brainpan. But they have help, two other writing teams and Gillian Spencer, a scrivener who once acted in the very show for which she now writes. They work on the actual shooting scripts of each day's show. They're sent various plot outlines by the Soderbergs and write the scenes and dialogue. Then they send the scripts back to the Soderberg works in Santa Barbara for editing. Then, Soderberg says, each script is dispatched to New York.
He expressed amazement at how it all works out there when the shooting starts, "I don't know how they do an hour show each day." But he didn't find it strange that he and his wife write in Santa Barbara for a series taped in New York. He cited several other soap opera writers around the country who also work that way. A check with CBS disclosed there's even one head writer, Bill Bell of Chicago, who doesn't have to get his scripts to New York for taping. Of course, tins may be because his show, "The Young and the Restless." is taped in a place called Hollywood.

I remember being amused when Josh and company's boat left Springfield for the island. I guess SF is on the coast now. 🤪

Y&R: Old Articles

Unpopular opinion, but I kind of liked Brenda's dismissive tone of voice as Jill when she interacted with those she didn't much care for. She didn't fly off the rails nor react emotionally.. she had a cold voice dripping with dismissive sarcasm that I thought really suited Jill. Jill vs Kay during her time as Jill was so much more interesting.
Jess seemed almost angry and totally un-Jill like especially in her interactions with Kay.

5-27

Honestly...I liked it. I think Judy Tate has won me over with her one-on-ones. I really thought it was a good episode. Except for two things.

I said it before and I'll say it again...this show stays with the narrative of Ted as Straight Man to Silk Press Sheila's craziness. If they want those two together (or doing what I mentioned first year which was Ted and Nicole in separate stories so we the audience get to know them only for them to return to Nicole/Ted/SPS down the line) so badly...just do it already. I didn't believe Ted when he stood up to SPS at the start of the episode and the fact that he did nothing after they were off camera at the press conference did nothing to make me believe him and his boundaries now.

I loved that we got some Smith/Richardson family scenes this episode. They really have been few and far between in those scenes. So I find them fun to watch. Meanwhile, that Martin/Ty scene was so unexpected and really resonated as a gay man. Not to mention it was a father and son talking about having sex for the first time. The layers.

And oh? It's good we are actually getting the fallout from Ty and Jessica sleeping together for the first time. A nice and relatable teen story. Let me say that again...a TEEN story. lol. Given that Ty and Jessica's growing rift has been a thing, but it fell into the backburner along with the cotillion, it's good to see it back upfront. I'm rooting for them to make it.

And we know I love seeing...THE HAVE-NOTS. I would have liked to see a little bit more of the tea. But still a cute little scene.

I'm not here at all for Ashley. And I was shocked to see Derek's dad. It's a shame he has never appeared before now.

That brings me to what I was not liking. It feels so slight because I really enjoyed the episode BUT...

I don't like that Jacob still doesn't have enough POV about Derek's death. In fact, he feels too adjusted. Compared to Shanice...where I see and feel her grief over Derek...I don't get that from Jacob. I don't think that is all on the writing, but the writing is not helping.

I actually loved the professionalism of the press conference (though I giggled at it being at the nurses' hub), but I didn't like SPS hijacking it. Not surprised. And then Cartoon Leslie at it again with Ted. Just ugh!!!

I was looking forward to a lot of the fallout from the plasma ring storyline. Among that was hostility between Jacob and Grayson, tension between Martin and Smitty over Smitty's role in the plasma ring, and as mentioned Jacob's POV. So the fact they are just brushing past ALL of it is just...no words. Especially if they are going to continue talking about the Impaler. And again...why did Derek die if they are going to do all of this?

Again...I enjoyed the episode, but I can't say the plot beats didn't bug me.

But to piggyback off this, we all speculate and articulate our ideas about how we would like stories to go all the time. Where it's here, another soap thread, or the Housewives thread. Heck, we have discussed quite a few situations with Kat, the helmet, and SPS's comeuppance since Kat let her black Veronica Mars side out last year, hoping for a courtroom to appear in sight. I don't see how that was any difference.

Mind you... @DramatistDreamer and I have discussed soap story ideas for years which is why we can make in-jokes about it now (like us discussing cotillion). Cuz that one I mentioned about Y&R was uncannily when that happened in real time. And haven't we alleged for ages about Josh Morrow ghost watching this board. Which whether he does or not...them camera angles DID change after I referenced them consistently when Nick was with Sally (and JM upped his fitness game in the middle of storyline). Just saying.

I like (when I get time) reading everyone's posts. After all it is a discussion board about the episodes and the stories within said episodes and the direction those stories are going. Okay...everyone, but the ones who know who they are and what they are doing. So I just had to put in my 2 cents rather than the usual scroll on by.

Optimistic me is hoping that the whole Bill/Hayley/SPS scene was groundwork being laid down for Hayley framing SPS for the poisoning. The only area Hayley has played her cards right so far is the way she dismiss SPS, refuses to engage with, and being the supportive wife to Bill to the point where even Chelsea and Naomi have to admit that... even Dani remarked once that Hayley finally had some good judgment not liking SPS.
Not only that, but SPS has shown herself to be reactive when it comes to Bill.. and she has motive for wanting to poison Bill.
