If I was Nicole... Caroline should already book her plane ticket out of the country.

Yep, that moment saved the episode for me.

May he rest in peace.

Another World - December 29, 1988 Christmas gifts leading to trouble. This is the first episode, maybe since I started watching this period (late 1988 - )... that... really underwhelmed me. I don't know if the past episodes were TOO strong and I got accustomed to that amazing quality... episode after episode. My husband was also falling asleep and I had to tell him to pay attention couple of times. This, of course, was meant to happen... sooner or later, because it's impossible for every episode to be 10 out of 10. So let's begin. Shall we? Lisa (who I like more and more) wants to leave the police and work as a paralegal. She wants something new to change the horizon and create new connections and walk new paths. It's a healthy way to mourn the loss of something (Jamie) by starting something new. She asked Cass if she can assist him in his legal business. He consulted with Nicole, who was open to the idea. Later Lisa visited her aunt Felicia and they talked about letting go/dealing with/processing the past - something that Felicia clearly has problem doing. Prior to this, Mitch told Felicia that he attempted to contact her father in person - she was relieved that Mitch and Cass didn't succeed in their plan. I didn't find her reaction completely believable, even thought she may be acting like she is okay, but bubbling inside. If it was me, I would have freaked out... hearing that my husband is trying to get someone from my past out of the shadows. Sam was going on and on and ON... about how Amanda shouldn't be going on the fake dates... Again - I get that he's a macho guy and he is jealous and etc, but he isn't an idiot, is he... and he should know that this is only work. His reactions are over the top, he's acting like Amanda is cheating almost. Jesus! Then we had too much and too long of Amanda explaining herself why she needs to do it, after we already heard that same monologue yesterday. I hate repeating in soap operas, especially when it's stuff that was said in the previous episode. Didn't like that scene. Oh, and I nearly forgot - Josie and Mathew caught up with them on the skating rink. Amanda lied that the guy who she was on the fake-date with was her high-school friend or something. Caroline is still eyeing Cass as her potential lover. Her Christmas gift (a strange statue) got Cass to let down his guard (if he even has one) and they shared an intimate moment playing on one of the machines in Cass's office. Just in time for Nicole to see them... all close and personal. That was the highlight of the episode for me. I still... would not rate the episode too low, because the problem was not bad dialogue or melodrama or anything cringe... It was just not a strong or a stand-out episode in my opinion. This is purely subjective of course. My husband agreed that it was kinda boring. I missed some of my favorite characters. Amanda and Sam went on too long about the same stuff. Caroline and Evan annoyed me. I am beginning to dislike them. Overall - 5/10 Favorite moment - Nicole catching Cass and Caroline enjoying their time together. Another World - December 29, 1988.mp4

I love this scene. I've loved all Harding Lemay episodes I've seen.

Would love to know more too!

If only the VCR had become more available... just a decade earlier... We would probably have the entire 70s recorded by a fan on VHS.

I am so stupid. How did I not think of following the storyline in the summaries... Just by the dates of when the actor first came in. I will do this later this evening. Thank you for reminding me what to do. I have ADHD and sometimes the most obvious answer escapes me.

I searched in there but only found a character description that stated who he killed and etc. I probably didn't search the right place. You, however, and the other people in the topic filled in the blanks and now I have a general good idea what this controversial storyline was about. I was crazy about not knowing what it is.

Thank you a million times! Now I finally know what happened. All my searching on Google... gave nothing substantial back.

My husband bought himself a tea machine and now I have to suffer through him making me cup of different type of tea every few hours. I will pee myself from so much tea I'm drinking that I don't even want in the first place. 😂

Excuse me? This has me shook. Who was the head-writer that did all of this?

Not all who appear intelligent... are. 🤓

Ah that AI at it again. Every time it gives wrong info. 😤 I am still looking for more info on the Sven storyline... So if anyone has any... Please throw it my way. Thank you in advance, people.

Dayle Haddon dies in carbon monoxide leak One of my personal worst fears in life - Carbon Monoxide poisoning. This is so horrifying. May she rest in peace.

For some reason I am still waking up an hour after coming out of bed. I can't process I'm not sleeping. Must have woken up during some deep sleep moment. I feel like a moody puppy. I still haven't had anything to eat and every noise annoys me.

Thank you so much darling. The amount of information that came up when I googled last night was so little at first glance... that I decided to ask you guys and I'm happy I did.

Just saying "the neighbour Kevin was afraid of" and I instantly remembered him... Got goosebumps. I will also do my research tomorrow. Thank you for this information.
