buffynut July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 I'd never seen JPL before, but it seems he was well liked in his previous role(s). So maybe there's a character he could play these days, but not a leading man type. With all his ticks and smirks he'd need to be cast as comic relief. 2 Link to comment
Rick Kitchen July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 The people over at the GH threads are horrified at the thought that JPL might go over there with all of the other OLTL stars. 2 Link to comment
Revlonred July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 I'm a little sad, because JPL really, really amuses me. I just like to see what facial expression/tick/ridiculousness he comes up with next. He is one strange dude. I want to send him a bottle of exfoliant. And I want an explanation for his hair. 2 Link to comment
Kitty Redstone July 8, 2016 Share July 8, 2016 It was evident after his first few days that JPL wasn't a good fit. That it took TIIC so long to figure it out and do something about it is yet another thing wrong with this show. 6 Link to comment

Rick Kitchen July 11, 2016 Share July 11, 2016 So I was trying to find out if Eileen Davidson was still on Y&R, or would she be eligible to be behind the kidnapping of Tater Tot, and according to Wikipedia, she signed a new contract in June of 2014 with Y&R that gives her an out to return to Days. It actually says, "On June 17, 2014, it was announced that Davidson had signed a contract to return to The Young and the Restless. Subsequently, Davidson revealed that her Y&R contract was for two years and that it included a stipulation that she could continue doing Days of Our Lives in the future, as well as having the option of taking a break if work became too hectic" Just sayin'. 3 Link to comment

She was so much interesting as a kid under Sherry Anderson...I loved that woman, she knew how to make heroines interesting and complex.... Edited July 22, 2016 by Apprentice79 1 Link to comment

I didn't see much of the time when Jennifer was with Daniel, (they were just breaking up when I started watching 2 years ago), so I don't have the hate for her like some of you do. I also don't understand what Ken Corday has against the supercouples. At a time when ratings are falling, they should do anything to try to bring viewers back, and getting the supercouples back together would be a start. Jennifer needs Jack. Adrienne should not be marrying Lucas, she should be with Justin and they should be front-runner characters. And then there's Hope. I realize PR wanted to leave for good, but throwing Hope into this ridiculous triangle, and making her a cold-blooded murderer is making me dislike Hope in the way some of you seem to dislike Jennifer. And not in a "love to hate them" way. 3 Link to comment

DisneyBoy July 24, 2016 Share July 24, 2016 I rather liked Eve and Justin....and sadly, Adrienne doesnt bring out the best in Judi Evans, which is weird because she's awesome... It's the bad writing, I'm sure. As for Hope, Aiden 1.0 was a great new partner with story potential for years. They f---ed him up for Rafe, which will fizzle out fast (I hope). 2 Link to comment
WendyCR72 July 24, 2016 Share July 24, 2016 I, too, get Peter Reckell was done (As much as I hated it), and as I said in another prior post, if this was at a point where characterization was still a factor, as well as a slow build, I would have been fine with Hope in a new romance. But the writing (being generous, calling it that) is now shit, characterization is nonexistent, and there is no build anymore. Add in that the head hack clearly wants her desired pet with Hope, and it all reeks. Fair or not, Peter Reckell's Bo lost Hope in a time where the writing allowed him to have other romances that gained great success and popularity without disrespecting his past with Hope. (Of course, RKK would later take over, yet he still - thanks to characterization, writing, and pacing - made it work with both Carly and Billie. (Backstage is another issue.)) In the end, I'll be unpopular. I LOVED Peter as Bo and he will always be the definitive Bo. But he was recast once. With writer laziness, his backstory is fixed and assured and already built in. Find a non-pervy (meaning not RKK) replacement and go forward, since new romances with blank slates for Hope just are not working. It may not be KA's fault, but her post-Bo era versus Bo's post-Hope era happened in two very different soap landscapes. Roman was successfully recast (with Drake; should have stayed as such in hindsight) and even Mary Beth Evans' Kayla was a recast, though very few probably recall that now! (Even Kim had temp recasts.) Sure, a recast could suck and he could fail, but I think there's more of a chance for a glimmer of success if just because of the history versus the likes of Rafe. (UGH!) Just my buck and a quarter here. 4 Link to comment
JBC344 July 25, 2016 Share July 25, 2016 Wow, so happy to hear that Anna is coming back. I wonder what her story would be. There is no way in hell she would be with Andre.

Adrienne's characterization has not been good at all..They turned her into a judgmental shrew for Wilson..However Disneyboy, you missed out on Adrienne's introduction to the show years ago. She came in at the end of the Stockholm storyline, which I am currently watching. It seemed like she was going to be a crazy ex of Steve's, but, it was a red herring..She was his little sister..lol It was great and Judy Evans was so wonderful in her original run as Adrienne....I loved her friendships with Kayla and Kim. Her romance with Justin was divine. I loved their Greek wedding in Greece..The show actually went on location to Greece..I still remember her meeting Steve face to face and the reveal that she was his sister Adrienne was chilling...Steve asking her if they kept her, referencing his abandonment by their mother Jo at the orphanage with his baby brother Billy a.k.a Jack. Adrienne was such a fighter, fighting to bring her family back together, fighting with Justin to keep him from being corrupted by Victor's evil influence..Dealing with her rape by her dad and killing him..Fighting with Anjelica for Justin's love and coming to terms with her inability to conceive a child...Not to mention, dealing with the consequences of her affair with Emilio and losing Justin..Original recipe Adrienne was so great..The Johnson family coming together was so great, so complicated and compelling..My favorite family on the show after the Bradys...

I loved Mimi because out of all the teens I related to her a lot and thought Patrick was gorgeous til the writers then ruined that character and made him a Dimera henchman. I'm still pissed Patrick wasn't the daddy to Ciara, I felt the writers coped out big time on that one. They could had played on the history of Bo/Caroline/Victor/Shawn, but the show/network went back to status quo and I say this as a big Bo/Hope fan. Bonnie was funny and Judi Evans handled the material well, now I don't miss the character, but I found her entertaining and showed Judi's range as actress. But that's my opinion. ?
