I remember there was this Turkish soap opera that was very popular couple of years ago... Very high budget, a lot of their biggest stars... And the main antagonist who was poisoning her husband the same way Hayley is doing... finally after realizing the tables are turning on her... her time running out, invited the entire family and poisoned them all at the same time at the dinner. The episode finished with all of them falling on the floor dead or dying with a very dramatic music. Of course not all died, the leads survived... I'm just saying... we don't know if Hayley is not a fan of Turkish soaps. 😁 P.S. And here she is poisoning her second husband... in 1 try. Hayley needs to take a lesson.

I had to check their wiki to see how old they are... and my jaw dropped. That's how it's done. And yes, nothing too much or fake looking.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you @DRW50 ! ❤️

These people don't age.

I saw some Reva/Annie scenes and God... this is some addicting to watch stuff. I don't know for how long the show kept that feud fresh... (I left off in late 1993 and never came back). Does anyone know when Reva comes back to the show?

Of course she will... and then she'll have her Alexis Carrington year where she rules the entire community. Hayley is not someone they should let go easily. Marquita is a diamond in the rough. Any sane person can see it. They need to keep her. I'll part with 10 other characters before I choose the Hamilton Widow! ❤️

I was just watching... and chileeee... Sloan knew where to find Viki of course. I SWEAR he is the male version of Brooke Logan. THAN MAN never stops till her gets what he wants. AH! I'm getting excited again.

That is a great idea, actually!

I would cut off Vanessa if they don't plan to do anything more complicated than the current one trick pony that she is. She's a very boring stereotype of a ... that needs more nuance. They need to dive more into the conflict with her son.

I would cut Tomas and then I would revamp Ashley. Jen Jacob is pretty mid level actress, but she doesn't bother me, as much as the writing for her character is very annoying and repetitive. IF and that's the worst case scenario type of thing THEY NEED to keep Tomas, because who knows why (in the business there are million reasons why an actor can't be fired lol)... AT LEAST tone down the AMOUNT of dialogue. Make him undress more and flex his muscles and keep that mouth shut.

I would do anything possible to keep Marquita Goings as long as possible. She is an amazing presence and the character is viral on the internet. The week after the twist revealing her true nature... was if I'm not mistaken the most watched since April or something like that. There are plenty of ways to keep her and to write her in a way that can open new possibilities. I mean... people have killed or poisoned others on soaps and stayed for decades. I would tone her down at some point after the culmination of the poisoning. The show needs to tone down the villains, because they do appear cartoonish. Not that I don't like them... but they are not THAT deep, and it's pretty evident.

@soapfave06 Tina's past lives scenes were cringe. I didn't like them what so ever, but thankfully they moved on from that too. These first months have messy moments... Also... not sure where you are watching the episodes from... if you are on youtube, know that some of the episodes are in wrong order as I recall... So some of the missing sequence may be in the future episodes, just dated wrong. I had that issue for a day or two, but then managed to figure out which episode comes after which and I filled in the missing pieces. The domestic abuse storyline gets more interesting as time goes by, when Viki and Megan are finally involved. Then we have a pure GIRL power moment will all the women of Llanview coming together against the bad guy. I won't spoil, since I don't know how much you have seen. Oh and yes, the Jake and tormentor scenes were another cringe, that I didn't like. I was at that time confused as to what this show is... I was hating certain aspects of it... but thankfully all this cleaned up with time and it got better and better.

Somewhere after Sarah came back. So that is probably after December 1991... More like early 1992. He's just a hottie that stirs things up from time to time. 😂

I'll buy everyone virtual champagne if Tomas gets written out. My fear is they will keep him to terrorize us.

From your lips to Gods ears chileeeeee

I think in a similar manner... Andrew became a safe place for Cassie after she got dumped by Bo. He's that male figure that women are drawn to after/during trauma. The guy in the intro that comes to save you after you trash your life with someone that has a nice smile or a nice butt. P.S. I still believe the reverend had more chemistry with some of the guys on the show (Hey, Dr. Jonas... with that cute earring), but of course they didn't go there. Just imagine if Andrew and the psychiatrist were involved. I can picture the cover of the Intruder "Scandal! The man of God and the therapist!" with a tabloid photo of them making out. But let's not get carried away. 😁 Now... about him and Cassie... At first that relationship felt a little forced to me, but then it grew and grew to a point I started believing it. They added even more nuance with making Cassie's mother have a crush on Andrew's father. Only on soaps! And now with the dark cloud of bad Marty hanging over them, I think the potential is there. They've been testing Cassie and Marty for a feud and I'm here for it.

That's how I perceive them - Kevin - late teens... Jason and Leanne - early 20s, Joey - 13-14. Stephanie - late teens too.

I loved how contrasting the relationships between Andrew and Megan and Cain and Megan were. Cain was opportunistic, parasitic even, and yet she felt that attraction... Like a moth to a flame. While Andrew was like her safe place, a warm looking little cabin in the dark of the woods. The two men were absolute opposites and I loved seeing Andrew fall in love with her slowly while she was using Cain to self destruct in a way, after her condition deteriorated. If the actress was not going away this could have been so interesting. To this day I love how Andrew still hasn't forgotten Megan. Her photograph still in his drawer.

Ooooooo....now I can totally picture this. Even though... Tonja's Alex gives similar energy when she hasn't taken her mood stabilizers. 😁

At 0:57 - NO LIFE TO LIVE. 😄 @DRW50
