Right. If anything, I definitely think it would've eventually led up to a Clyde Weston murder mystery (again like Curtis), and Kate being one of the suspects. Oh well, just another one to add to the massive list of dropped stories on DAYS.

It seriously seemed like Jordan/Ben/Clyde were going to be a Austin/Billie/Curtis redux under Tomlin, but Jordan/Ben/Clyde intentions changed each writer that followed.

So it's just going to be a male cast only? LOL Appears that way, and wouldn't put it past Ron 😂

Same.

Good news, but can we give Ron the pink slip before the 60th anniversary? 😩

Its funny how the show decided to go this route with Nicholas's exit, instead of simply having him go to jail for Hayden's shooting (which will never be resolved). The show could have had some meaty scenes between Spencer and Nik before he was shipped off.

Ron is trying to pull a "Xander" with the character of Li. He thinks he can find success a 3rd, 4th, time (seeing as how he's down this type of thing with other campy/psycho villains).

CW's Nina and MS's Nina are basically two different characters. I can't accept CW's Nina as the same woman who tried to steal Ava's baby from her womb.

Dex is giving me Ford Brothers from OLTL vibes.

AW: I never got the feeling this was much of a family oriented soap (Though I started watching around 92/93), but more about those who come into your life friends/lovers, become your family. It was more about friends and romance than family. Felicia/Cass, Ryan/Frankie, Rachel/Felicia etc. etc. Guiding Light: Also started watching around 92/93, the show was down to earth and about community, family, and friendships. Warmth was the tone of the show. Y&R: Cold. Sharp. Thrilling. Dark. Witty. Lush set designs and score. B&B: Light. Flashy. Scandalous. When Sheila was wreaking havoc in the mid 90s, it could also be dark. DAYS: In the 90s was more of a longgggg drawn out romance novel. Later in the 90s it was more of romance mixed in with comedy.

Sure reorganize/restructure the writing team if you may. Honestly I would love to see the likes of Slater end up at DAYS (which probably impossible). But being a Executive Producer/Head Writer/Breakdown writer? And you aren't even capable of being a half the writer that Bill Bell or Harding Lemay were? 😂 This is going to end badly.

^THIS

I'm interested in this flash forward, however the lead up to it is the least of my concern, what about after Christimas 2023? I really do think the show will lose steam or seemingly meander in trying to properly play all the proper beats once it's revealed who was killed. We'll spend all of 2023 working up to the murder mystery, and then spend all 2024 playing the aftershock of the murder? Yikes.

I've always been puzzled as to how vastly different the Dobsons are at ATWT and SB, (maybe GH too) compared to their time at GL. I can't help but to think maybe Allen Potter had something to do with their success at GL.

Now these are the returns that we've been asking for. I just may tune in ....

GL: The Great: Amanda is the daughter of Alan and Jane Marie Stafford. The Good: Dylan is Billy and Reva's son. I really liked Pam Long's second tenure on the show, and the team of writers at the time made sure to hit all the right beats with this one. The Worst: Amanda is not Alan's daughter, but his sister.

So Carly is smack dabbed in the middle?

DAYS has tried to do this at times, with Victor's butler Henderson and Anne Milbauer stirring the pot at the hospital, it was a half @$$ attempt, but an attempt no less in the last few years/decade compared to other shows.

🤣 It really does.

I think under Curlee/Demorest, Hart was used more as someone who could propel characters such as Roger and Blake in certain directions. Blake no longer being her daddy's sole child, whose approval he often sought and which she would use to her advantage, and Roger constantly trying to prove himself to Hart that he could be a decent human. It became more apparent Hart had a short shelf life when MZ and SS departed and with the constant recasts and revolving door of writers. I recall there being a scene between Reva and some of the natives of SC back in 1999, who were black. From that point on, most of the extras for the SC scenes were white. Typical Paul Rauch MO.

Wow, I can't believe I missed the posting of the episodes from 1980.

Successful ATWT: The Montgomery's from the early 80s. Lyla, Craig, Margo, Cricket.

I think it says a lot about the show when I tune in for big reveals like the Nina/Willow, but tune out suddenly after the reveal episodes because I know the follow through and the right beats will not be played after the fact.

Neither did I? lol

Out of all those exits, I wish JvD had stayed (Wheeler should've sacrificed Bradley Cole's salary to have Jerry stay). The rest I could've cared less about. But looking back, it was a slow but steady exodus.
