I was thinking would Maura west who is Ava on GH , Van Hansis who play Lucas on Gh, go back to playing Luke and Carly on ATWT. I definitely don’t think Jon Lindstrom and Tamara Tunie would leave BTG because they are main established characters and original characters of a soap opera that just started. Would Roger Howarth want to go back to playing Todd Manning. What do ya’ll think?

>...After moving past his early days in Salem, Diamont became a major fan favorite playing Brad Carlton on The Young and the Restless. But after decades on the show, lightning struck a second time when he was unexpectedly let go.

>“That was the day before Thanksgiving. Literally after 24 years,” he said.

>After that meeting, a moment came that would change his life. “I walked down the hall, went to up to reception, and I said, ‘Hey, does Brad still happen to be here?’ He said, ‘Yeah, he is,’ they said, ‘Would you tell him Don Diamont’s here? Talk to him for a couple minutes if he has time for me.’ And Brad was on the phone with Michael Menace, and he said, ‘Hey, Michael, Don Diamont just walked in. We’re going to get him to leave Y&R and come join us over here.’ He hangs up with Michael. Sit down, ‘Don, what’s going on?’ He said, ‘Well, your brother just fired me, and I’m looking for a job.’”

TIL Mr. Diamont was dismissed by William Bell Jr., the President of Bell-Phillip Television Productions. Some may recall that years later, he would fire his wife Maria Arena Bell as Y&R's Executive Producer and Headwriter.

I’m asking because, based on what I can tell from Electra and Dylan’s story from the teasers, Electra is engaging in a blatant quid pro quo. If that’s what happens in the show, and Dylan doesn’t sue Forrester for false termination, it’d not only be stupid, it’d be a missed opportunity.
Side note: Given that the show (probably) shot on location in Monaco for last week’s episodes, I know they can afford to construct a courtroom set, and soap operas can absolutely do courtroom drama engagingly. See Curtis’s trial on “General Hospital” earlier this month for proof of this.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I’m not saying that the show won’t do that, just that I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t.

Who thinks P&G productions should set up a channel to give us streaming of their soap shows. Would it not be great to start GL or ATWT from the beginning and watch these again on the "free" ad streaming services?

What exactly, is the point of Electra? I mean that in a very literal way. She literally does nothing worth while. She has no real story arc. And no, relationships and love triangles are not story arcs!

Yeah, she's kind of bitchy, self absorbed and entitled but in the most uninteresting way I've ever seen! She just eats up time on the show. Maybe I missed something, I don't know.

This is going to sound bad, but they could just put her in a bikini and take away all her lines and she'd be better on screen.

Another World is not really my favorite soap, but the show had its great moments. Here’s my list:

1. Linda Dano (Felicia)
2. Beverlee McKinsey (Iris)
3. Victoria Wyndham (Rachel)
4. Anna Holbrook (Sharlene)
5. Judi Evans (Paulina)

Honorable Mentions:

Anne Heche (Vicky/Marley)

Kim Rhodes (Cindy)

Alicia Coppola (Lorna)

With yet another villain dying and the police acting like she was a saint to be avenged rather than a known rapist and a record of multiple workplace bullying complaints against her, it got me thinking about the rules of soapland - there used to be one, unbreakable rule; you were only sure they were definitely dead if you saw the body, otherwise anything was possible. Not that I'm suggesting she's alive, but after Graham apparently breaking this one rule, I was wondering if you could bring any villain back from the dead to face justice, who would it be and how would you do it?

The crazier the better, please. I think we all need a laugh.

I never knew this channel existed until today. Currently showing Knots Landing
