I hope they start posting the episodes consistently and of higher quality like B&B, especially if they plan to do 1993-98. It would be amazing to get some consistent 80s, 90s and 00s at the same time

This makes me wonder if there are any other success stories similar for other performers?

It’s very interesting how under utilized she is in the original run, and a great example of mining the past when they brought her back. I do wish they had done more with her though.

I believe hat is Greg, Talbot’s son. Talbot had just been arrested for killing the son of Pat with Karen in the car.

This was a great interview, I wish we had more of these and they would take the time to go in depth of the details

I wish I could see these scenes, I am loving all of these old articles!

Based on recaps alone, after maybe the Mark Toland and Rachel drama the show was moving slow, even the baby Kevin kidnapping arc moved slow and perhaps had little stakes? Long term you could see how this paid off, the show was firing writing wise by 1978, but it is with the same writers.

This is probably the devastating truth, unfortunately.

So disappointing they couldn’t appease Doris Belack, I love everything I have seen of her Anna and it would have balanced out those extreme cast losses around this time if they had simply allowed the clause

This was a great read and appreciate you sharing!

I was just thinking yesterday when I was scrolling through social media. In the random clip, someone’s grandmother was critiquing her decor and offering advice in a comedic way. We can’t even get simple everyday scenes like that but we get the same dialogue day in and day out. It can’t be that difficult to add some everyday life in scenes and the few times they have done it, even if the episode is blah, at least it feels real.

@Vee I am so happy you’re getting through 1991 and starting 1992, what a great read! I look forward to seeing more thoughts, this was an era I avoided for years and is now one of my favorites.

Thanks for the tag, this was amazing to see!

Welcome back!! These were reviews were missed!

Thank you for continuing to share!

I can’t believe they had Reva in the climax with Holly! I mean I can, but I can’t. I wonder if Blake and Holly will have any pay off scenes and look forward to seeing what they do with Holly in coming months.

I’m glad I’m not alone, I’ve seen bits and pieces of all of his runs and this is the first time I think he’s on fire, too bad it won’t last long. Props to Thom for making it work merely on his own presence.

Is there an overall consensus on Carlo Hesser? I will admit I have never really understood the character outside of Thom Christopher giving great performances. He’s there to avenge Johnny, gets away with drugging Viki to make her shoot Megan, languishes with a niece and now he reappears courtesy Alex in the Scarecrow mystery. I have to ask because Carlo and Alex meeting after she frees him is PERFECTION and knowing this is headed towards his murder makes it even more pointless and I know his Mortimer, 1996, 2005 and 2008 runs are not well received.

Thank you for sharing this, I am looking forward to reading it!

I wish I had that much self control, I tried previously to force myself, but after have so many golden episodes in a row I couldn’t take it.

I’m almost done with February. They were on a roll for SIX weeks straight but I finally discovered my fast forward button when Tina and Cain suddenly began hogging up the airtime of two or three episodes in a row. Their comedy is not for me. Cassie and Alex seeing each other for the first time at The Palace Hotel was a letdown although I was happy to see Cassie stronger. Maybe they were showing how over it is all Alex is; Jason/Stephanie/Kevin/Marty all converge at Rodi’s and party it up, which was nice, and I got to see how Jason and Marty are together, I had NO CLUE Marty all but (couldn’t tell) slapped Kiki from the chin or that Kiki was truly shown to be this much of a hot mess; Blair has told Addie that they must keep secret that Dorian is her sister as Max is questioning Addie’s hatred of Dorian; Hank has already shared scenes with Bo, Troy and Sheila, and clearly he and Troy do not like each other. Wanda has met a possible love interest in Ralph Love! I fell asleep to January 1997 which was owned by Todd and Blair’s custody battle and Antonio on the run and then going to court. Antonio was perceived well in the 90s and it was the 2000s that brought him (and every male character) down? I was a little shocked that Bo and Hank came off so giddy to get him arrested and saw him as guilty. Hank and Alex also had scenes of him forcing her to resign….oh what could have been.

I’m so jealous 😭

This is epic hahaha

I believe he was after, the prior Miguel wasn’t too bad. So we could group him in with the second Paloma 😂

Oh that’s fascinating, I hope to come across it someday. All of his intro scenes have been with her and my eyes immediately dart to the tv.
