DRW50

I put all the 81 and 82 synopses I had in earlier pages. I just can't remember what Nola was doing at this point.

Thanks for finding that. Is it right before the story where a psycho raped her or kidnapped her?

Brandon Routh started on Arrow tonight.

Thanks. This is terrific. I thought I recognized the name Dick Gittings, so I went and looked - I think he filled in for Mark Tapscott as Bob Anderson when Mark had a heart attack.

I like how you have Kirkland and Charlie reacting to all the drama surrounding everyone else, not realizing the storm coming for them. Sharlene - wow. Sad. I wonder if this is also from her integration. That was something Sharly or Janice might have done. I like how Mitch still tried to support Felicia. Poor Michele. She's so isolated from her family and it takes DNA evidence for them to believe her. That must sting. It must hurt. Great cliffhanger as always.

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but Mandy Bruno and Rob Bogue wrote some movie with Eric Roberts and Justin Deas, among others. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3327432/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1

Justin's WIkipedia page is just a mess.

Dull Lily and that dull singing...she's OK, just so boring. Holden of value mostly as a fuckable preppy who does not speak. I love Lucinda but if I were Italian and someone kept doing that "whatta mistake-a to make-a" accent around me I would have said something. That weird sexy music when Damien is staring at the model of the new tower cracks me up. Is he going to get kinky when they leave the room? I could swear they used some version of Nadia's Theme when Holden is walking around. Neal <3

Jagger, if you want to see a little more of her ATWT run, WeLoveSoapsVideo (or something like that) has some late 1979/early 1980 clips. Oakdalian also has a 1978 episode with her.

I think that's the first time I ever saw the Laurence mother and daughter (Liz Keifer with all that hair! She was right to cut it). Is that Cindy with Paul? And some other woman I don't know. That Jill/John makeout session looked trashy. I'd expected something more glamorous. Terry Lester in a waiscoat = thank you. I guess this is when Paul was pretending to be bad (and that's why Mary was devastated)? Was Chris crying happy tears or sad tears? I keep wondering what Brenda Jill and Andy would have been like together. I really want to see more of Deborah's Jill and Katherine together. Deborah is much tougher looking physically than Brenda or Jess, although she seems to play the role more sympathetically. Why was Katherine weeping?

Poor Michele. This is turning into Vicky/Marley - Marley perfect, illness and trauma made her go bad, while Vicky became good. I felt so sad for both her and Bridget.

Andrea was beautiful, it's just that today soap people would say she was unattractive - she'd have to be a twig with fake lips and a bad bleach job. I wonder if they knew of the cancelation when they were filming this.

Season 10 starts tonight. They had a retrospective thing last night I didn't bother to watch. Don't expect a lot either way out of the premiere, but we will see. Meanwhile, Misha being Misha.

Great cliffhanger. Even with Vicky being in the wrong, you still have to feel sorry for her, somehow. Classic Vicky. It's been a while since we've seen Amanda. I'm glad to see Iris again too, getting some nice thumb-screwing in on her enemies.

Poor Michele. I wasn't expecting that. My heart broke for her. And Rachel and Carl are so caring toward her. Michele has lost everything. I laughed when Sharlene moved to get further away from John. All the tension between the family over Jake and Lindsay is just great. I'm glad you're including all these family moments.

That was a really beautiful conversation between Scott and Kirkland. Kirkland thinks with Scott giving him support, everything is now fine. When it's just beginning...

I love that bickering between Sharlene and Felicia. Great scene where Bridget starts to realize Michele is alive. You get all these little details and beats just right in every story. Nothing feels thrown together.

So Maggie is Cass' again. That will be interesting. Great cliffhanger. Your Christy amuses me. Paulina sure is a pushover...

Wonderful scenes all around. Can't wait to see more of Cecile's reunion with Cass. And I hope we get to see KC talking to Marley and maybe Toni talking to Donna, since they are in the same situation about the lies over mother vs. sister.

Matt's right. Mary and Don left town and returned for visits a few times. The last was in 1993.

I really really liked the conversation between Vicky and Marley. Such a nice bonding moment they needed. Most soaps today don't give a damn. And more intrigue with Joy. She's a fascinating character.

Such a shock to see Bob...and then a huge shock to see Cecile. I'd love to see Nancy Frangione and Christopher Norris working together. Huge shock about KC too. Reginald has more grandchildren than I can count.

I finally got around to reading this chapter. Wonderful drama all around, relationship drama that is about longtime distrust and secrets, instead of shock value or pointless conflict. I especially love Felicia's line to dark about how he likes to sit in the dark. And the moment where a drunk Jake tells Kirkland he hopes Kirkland has a happier marriage than he and Vicky do just breaks my heart. Great fun interlude with the strippers too.
