Also, I've heard that the show wants to go back to a time (look and feel) when the show had higher ratings. Thusly, they are bringing in the characters and actors from that time. I expect more returns and onscreen dynamics to look like it did at least 5 or 6 years ago before Pratt and Mal took a sledgehammer to it. 

We've truly gone down the rabbit hole if 2013 is what they'd consider the good ol' days. 

That said, i hope Sharon's bipolar-for-plot-device stays in 2013. That was the only saving grace of the last two years.

Karla Mosley is just waiting in the wings to be a new Lily IMO. 

She's a little too old for Lily though, right? It would let Mattie and Charlie's ages make more sense but otherwise, I dunno. She and Devon are supposed to be close to the same age. IMO, KM's Lily would clearly look the actual age difference between KM and BJ. And Neil wouldn't have been reasonably old enough to be her daddy unless they do a lot of retconning.

Yes, I certainly hope it is forgotten just as Victor's epilepsy and heart transplant have been.

Last time I saw Ryder, he was trying to kill Daredevil 😄

Ryder's last appearance on the show,  he'd broken into Victoria's house  - when she had an entrance way - and hid in the closet under the stairs, as someone was coming home.  As far as I know...he never came out of there.

Insert "Skeletons in the Closet"  jokes here.

[DeafAngelboy23]

I knew it! You’re back! Well deserved break although it’s unfortunate to lose a chance to do one more Neil scene. I know some loved... some hated... some don’t give a flying bird about her but you know what? It’s for me 😉

It’s no secret that I loved AMC more than other soaps so any chance to see former AMC alum is always welcome in my book. 

[Sake614]

But nuAdam is a good 10 years younger than her. It just doesn’t fit anymore.

[Toomuchsoap]

So, it's official then. I just saw MCE's tweet about her return. Oh, bother.

I could have done without her. I loathed the character and I could barely withstand the actor. I'm begging them to put her with whatever else male there is (just not Jack). Hey! Maybe she and Kev can team up and go on a crime spree together. Might as well. She's got absolutely zero chemistry with any guy I've ever seen her with. I loathed her with both Adams and she couldn't help Nick much - but no one has to my satisfaction (and that includes Sharon except when she was 17).  

[valleycliffe]

i don't think she is a very strong actress but then i think my dislike comes from when she played crazy annie on amc...loathed the character and actress there and i can't stand her on y&r either.

too bad she couldn't cut it in prime time..

Six but still, she's all wrong for this show.

[miamama]

Lets see:

Mal is fired and immediately ED reprises her role whenever needed, MCE coming back, DD back, GR back, KSJ had tweeted he would be back more as well before sadly passing, EB getting big story again, TEB (and likely CLB) filming lots again, nuAdam hired and filming.....

...but. Gina. Is. Out. 

The Gina Tognoni Variety Hour crashed hard didn’t it?

Lmao

Awwww, I like Chelz, gasping and all 🙂

[Toomuchsoap]

Chelseacon's entire backstory and was ludicrous. It seriously made about as much sense as Cane's ridiculous Australian cattle rustling father's crime family and his twin son cons. Is there anyone in America who seriously thinks there's a lot of surfing going on in Myanmar? (This is where Billy was disappeared courtesy of his FIL and his co-conspirator, Chelsea).

I despised Chelsea. I particularly loathed the fact that she was brought in because EB pitched a fit and decided that by god, he was going to have a go at Sharon like he wanted to do during Bill Bell's day, who told him to go sit down. Chelsea was a contrived character as a grifter-con turned Chelserella, who became a 500 pound ball and chain for Adam to drag around. Adam would never have given that lightweight the time of day. "Love of my life" my ass. I hated everything about her. I hated her breathless Valley Girl voice and her tacky schmattas. Bring her back and put her with Dickolas. They're soulmates.

This is really really nice. My fave is at about 4:55 when Beth speaks about the moment when Traci brings up the "My Beauty" thing to Jack (how hurt she was that John called only one daughter this). She said she waited 37 years to say it out loud. And she submitted it for round 2 of Emmy voting. 

GAHHHHHHH she has to win!!!! I love her so much and it was such a powerful scene.

Also Peter and Beth are sooooo wonderful and articulate and clearly adore each other.

Normally not a big KM fan (don't hate her either) but I really would be intrigued with how she'd play Lily and how she'd interact with the men on canvas. She's already played a woman re-acclimating to society after a prison stint.

That was one of the nicest things I've ever seen in a BTS sort of way.  Seeing the two of them talk about the show and themselves was an absolute delight.

This is the best thing ever.  I love the relationship between the two.  But Beth is just such a star.  She should be doing public speaking, she is just a natural.  Thank you @miamama for posting this, it made me happy.

With the casts public reaction on twitter, her return will be interesting backstage. Especially with how she trashed them after she went to GH. 

Not sure why TPTB would think bringing someone lacking team work and is toxic to the set would be a good idea. YR didn't need her back as Phyllis. 

[basiltherat]

The whole problem with Phyliss is not Michelle vs Gina, but that we've been getting WAY too much Phyllis and we need a vacation from The Beastess.

Correct. Phyllis needs a break. Years-long, preferably.

Eh, GT lacked team work, as well, when she only wanted to work with Jason Thompson.

Clearly I should be shuffling paper today.

When that happens, I hit Twitter...

Speaking of which, I think I saw an item about some recently cast young male interest for Summer. This doesn't interest me, But the tweet had a screencap of a movie poster with a title like Psycho Stripper. No joke.

Apparently this is the most recent credit for the actor destined for Summer's amorous endeavours.

So, as I reach for the turban and my crystal ball...

I see assless chaps! I see a strip-off! Kyle vs. Who?

There’s a solid month between Gina leaving set and Michelle arriving. That tweet was funny to me because Michelle left in a huff and is generally kind of an ass. But she’ll get a warm welcome and plenty of promo action I’m sure. 

I hate the Staff but Gina deserved to be fired. And if getting her off show means bringing back MS I’ll suck it up.

Of the two MS is preferable to me. But what a choice. Gah.

Yep.  The only thing sexier than Dummer's desperate need for an emergency nasal lavage would be if she could yodel through that honker of hers at the same time.

Why then, she and ButtBiscuit could take it on the road!

Or tweeting: “people (heart emoji) Philly” attached to a poll within a day of her HW saying the storyline made the characters unlikeable and the pairing was dead.

Who does that???? This is your new HW!!!! Your boss!!!

But of course Gina had Mal lodged firmly up her ass so she could undermine/counter/challenge Sally as much as she wanted. He was the EP maneuvering for Sally’s job, which he promptly got.

Alas for “sweet” Gina Sally’s husband became everyone’s boss.

So she got a really swell farewell party.

I wish I could still find a GIF, video or picture of his character Nathan having a door shut in his face where he's crying as it closes. It was hilarious.

Oh, he's very popular,. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads, they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.

[basiltherat]

Mr. Johnson (ahem) has a VERY punchable face.  If he is for Dummer, I wish them all the happiness in the world off of my screen.  I believe his character is the dude Dum and Kyle are supposed to jet to NYC to see (and, believe me, I am SO ashamed that I somehow retained that information).

It's still done, but not anywhere near as often as it was when I was a kid.  Back then, they ripped the adenoids out when they took out your tonsils and they pretty much ALWAYS took out the tonsils.  In those days, the docs had a real eugenic approach to pediatrics.

Adenoids are part of the immune system, sort of a filter in the back of your upper throat to filter out irritants in infants and toddlers.  Usually, as I understand it, the adenoids shrink to almost nothing after the first 6 years so most kids don't have any issues.  I didn't mind having mine out because I got toys and ice cream.  Cheap date then and now.

What your mom said is exactly what mine would have said, too, about how Dummer sounds.  But I bet what she really needs is a decent antihistamine and a flea dip.

I used to love the Daytime Emmy awards when we had all the soaps. In the 80s, the CBS soaps won a lot, and it was so fun with the big hair. The 80s was truly a golden time for the soaps. 

[Gam2]

We spent our daughter’s first birthday in the ER with her running a 104+ degree fever and ear infections in both ears. Fast forward a year and multiple ear infections, strep throats and a seizure due to high fever. She had tubes put in her ears and her adnoids removed. Never had another ear infection or strep throat. Her hearing improved greatly according to the audiologist who took care of her. That was a very tough year as my husband was in Korea and I was home with a 5 year old and this baby. She’s healthy as a horse now so that’s all we care about. 

[peacheslatour]

I wish they had that tubes in the ears thing when I was a kid. So many ear infections. 🤕

Liking a tweet bashing a fellow cast mate doesn’t seem like something she would do. And Amelia didn’t seem to have a problem with Gina. And characters are fictional. I follow Gina on Facebook and Twitter and I don’t understand all the animosity toward her. I love Gina and I- listen to me, listen to me- can’t stand Stafford. I can’t stand her. I just can’t stand her.
