Cady, is such a class act and such an immense talent! I enjoyed her for so long as Dixie on AMC and I must say Flip Fantasia was amazing too! AMC will always be missed but now I can start watching Y&R knowing Cady is there!

So happy to have Cady back in Daytime

I am so happy Cady has joined as Kelly. She is refreshing and a terrific actress! Hope she stays for the long haul! Sad about AMC but Prospect mishandled everything. But at least fans got one final chance to see their shows, something not every fan has been given.

Well I’m a fan of Cady’s and I had high hopes for ALL MY CHILDREN as an On-line presentation – even though I thought some of the episodes were weakly written. Prospect Park REALLY did not have their ducks lined up and I truly believe they didn’t grasp the concept of soaps. To say that fans are dissapointed with the way things turned out would most certainly be a tremendous understatement.
I wish her well with her new character and I’m sure she will do a great job with the role. As for ABC-TV, my opinion of them for cancelling AMC to begin with remains very low indeed –

I have never heard of one leading lady that did not enjoy working with PB the reason he is a professional!! Be very curious to see how their chemistry works

I’m happy that Cady is on Y&R now but i think if she had a choice she would rather be on AMC again.

I can only hope Phyllis comes back and shoots Kelly dead ..
I thank god she did not come to GH !!!
Y&R is a lot FF and new Kelly will add greatly to it..

There are the days I wish I owned the soaps, I would totally clean house LOL 🙂
And get MM/Adam and BM/Billy and MS/Phyllis back .. they are the best of the best ..

((we all know PP did not have enough money to carry the soaps on; it is what it is ..
they at least tried … I thank them for their effort ..

Hoping she will bring some life into the character. I get the character is grieving for her son but the character was so drab and lifeless under CW’s portrayal that I am hoping Cady will give her an spark, something to make her more interesting, yet keep the I don’t give a damn because life is crap attitude Kelly had, which CW played well and the only part of Kelly I have liked.

Anyone is better than Waltros!

Cady is perfect for this role. I really enjoyed watching her today. Still boycotting ABC. Very disappointed with PP. It is easier knowing that AMC is over than waiting for PP to do something. I don’t have to search the internet daily for news involving AMC.

That is exactly how I felt, that it was like the death of an entire family. It still makes me cry. I am happy to see some of those actors on the last remaining shows. It’s like seeing an old friend. Good luck to her! Looking forward to seeing her on Y&R .

Cady started so young and always handled her work with deep layers; she is a soap survivor, and certainly still vibrant. She has respect for other actors and balances team playing with her stand-out moments. How exciting that she continues to be part of keeping the genre alive, now on Y & R!

I think that I’m definitely in the minority in my opinion and many of you will disagree but here goes…………. I’ve never cared for McClain. I was a loooooooooong time viewer of ATWT and vividly remember Yvonne Perry, the actress who originated the role of Rosanna Cabot. I liked Perry alot in the role and was sorry when she left the show. I never warmed up to McClain in the part. It didn’t help that McClain seemed to come and go between her earlier role on AMC and playing Rosanna. I’m no insider but McClain’s shifting between the shows seemed to indicate a lack of commitment from her to either show. Moreover, McClain’s Rosanna seemed to disappear from ATWT at the wrong points in plots and it was jarring. I never invested in McClain’s Rosanna because I didn’t think the actress would on the show long enough to warrant it. She came, left, came, left so often that I think it seriously damaged the character. During the McClain tenure, the once interesting Rosanna became an irrelevant “tumbleweed” blowing through Oakdale. I associate McClain’s appearance with the serious decline that the once great ATWT took in its final years. Writer Jean Passanante and producer Chris Goutman didn’t seem to have a clue how to handle the show, downplaying its great history, introducing new/bland characters, and giving us plots that were boring and poorly executed. Moreover, there seemed to be a parade of ABC soap veterans parading through the show who were poor choices for recasts and did not match earlier actors in those roles (McClain = previously on AMC who came on as Rosanna; Marie Wilson = previously on Port Charles who appeared as Meg Snyder; Jon Lindstrom = previously on GH and Port Charles who appeared as Craig Montgomery) or who were introduced dull and annoying characters to Oakdale (Julie Pinson, previously on Port Charles who played the godawful Janet Ciccone). The new “ABC folks” on ATWT might have been tolerable if the overall writing was good but it was bad. Moreover, the writers focused on these new characters while long-appearing actors playing established characters were minimized and barely seen. (I vividly remember comments from 50-year ATWT veteran Eileen Fulton who, 2 years before the cancellation, stated that she wished the writers would simply give Lisa a fitting death on air if they could not use the character in a better manner). The situation was has tough to watch and, frankly, I think it killed the show. ATWT didn’t “lose” its audience. The poor writing and casting decisions drove it away!!!! Fair or not, I associate McClain with all of this and will never warm up to her. With Cynthia Waltros unavailable to play the relatively new character of Kelly, I wish the writers had simply written the character off of the show than bring McClain on board. From my experience watching the dying ATWT, I shudder to think what might occur to Y&R with Jean Passanante as a writer… Read more »

I did not like her today.
She doesn’t speak slowly or softly like original Kelly…and
other things about her, too, don’t seem similar.
I guess I assumed the new actress would have taken
her portrayal of Kelly on as more similar to the original.
Would have helped ease the transition to yet another
new actor/actress on this soap.

Isn’t that funny! I still remember Peter Bergman as Cliff Warner on AMC; and Cady got her daytime start on AMC! Best of luck, Cady!

Just read her TVG interview. WOW! I had no idea she’d gone through so much stuff. I didn’t watch AMC, though I knew who she was and who she played. Have new respect for her now. Wish her the best. Hope she wins me over on Y&R. I’m rooting for her.

I wish Cady the best but… hate to say I did not like her today.. maybe over time I will, sure hope so because sounds like she will be around for some time to come, CW is the best…IMO

Considering the mountains that Prospect Park had to move (in record time) and the crap they waded through with ABC, I really don’t appreciate any of the creative people criticizing the company that tried to save these 2 iconic shows. They should be applauded for the effort.
