It's a blank space on my side.

The facts speak for themselves. He stayed with her for decades and got her pregnant multiple times (she clearly didn't withheld sex then). No one forced him. All the other marriages combined are not enough in duration to even compare. Also, he could have seen the light and been in the tunnel if this was just about death. Showing Stephanie was more than that. It signified that no matter what, she will always be The One. If Donna or Brooke were his true loves/favorite wives, he could have heard them urging him to fight. Lots of fun with the honey jar waiting for him on the other side of the tunnel. He'd come back for that, trust me. It's unfair to judge a marriage by its last years (when Stephanie was much older and had already given birth to five kids), compared to young, opportunistic women who wanted his money and status most of all and were willing to fake it till they make it. And also... Eric thrived with a controlling woman. He needed a strong female to fix his problems. The others were there to boost his ego and a healthy ejaculation. Just think about it - while with Stephanie, he built a dynasty... with the others - it crumbled. I can't forget that he lost the company right after his time with Brooke.

I absolutely looved seeing her in that outfit. Give me big buttons any day! ❤️Typically, they style her in a way that feels overly domestic for my liking. I was also thrilled to see her waist accentuated... it was long overdue. The more elegant silhouettes truly suit her. Overall, she appears so much younger in both vibe and appearance compared to a year ago. There were moments when she seemed almost like a grandmother figure when I first began watching. Additionally, the presence of the older man beside her (Sloan) makes her appear even younger. This is particularly flattering and a drastic change from the usual bulged-up hunks in their 20s and 30s pursuing older women in soap operas. I appreciate that Viki's attraction to Sloan is rooted in intellect and character. It's a type of attraction that no amount of oiled muscles can compete with.

She absolutely does. 😊 And you are exactly right... This is right in the first episodes of the repeats. December 1967.

We need this revival right now.

This just makes me happy.🥰 Thank you! I don't plan to stop soon... (at least till the material keeps on being this good.)

I'm scared it will be a task too big for MY Copilot. Maybe it's because it's on MY computer... but he or she seems to be very stupid and needs to be constantly corrected... to a point where I usually say - I can't tolerate this anymore and the AI starts apologizing. LOL. But I'll try and see if it can come up with anything that is not hideous. 😂

This actually made me tear up... Thank you @gimmetoo for posting. Here is a little clip I cut of Margaret when she was playing the role of Mrs. Berger in The Doctors. Episode4-Dec71967_edit.mp4.24bb95296cae3b6d89606ac90eaf761d.mp4

Oh my God... how beautifully you describe this woman... or should I call her... a bad cliche.

@BradleyBell - bish, read this and do as we say - we want THAT scandal NOW!

All of the wives except Stephanie cheated on him during the show and they had quite the short runs when it comes to "marriage". If he enjoys his wives f-cking other men then there's a whole genre of pornography that deals with that fixation. But the fact that none of these marriages worked and right now he's just parked with the jerk-off machine Donna, because they are resting the character... says A LOT. Stephanie had flaws, yes... and sometimes she would be angry and cold and that would frequently be in response to a man who prefers young women to her and who CHEATS on her (remember the Lauren fiasco)... but she's also the one that at one point he called a soulmate. I can't find the exact episode, but I do remember it. She's also the one who he saw while he was dying... I mean... he didn't see Donna giving him head or Sheila's massages... while he was dying... he saw Stephanie... Stephanie. Your so called 3rd favorite wife.

I asked my Windows Copilot to make an updated version of the 1992 OLTL one.

Can we make this AI replace Brad Bell as writer of Bold? 😂

She's happy because once they are married (Lope) she can have her accident with Liam... 😂

You've got to be kidding me. She (Stephanie) had nearly 30 years of history with the man before the show even began. When a marriage is 20-30 years long... it's considered AN EXTREMELY successful marriage. Tell me does Eric have a longer marriage with ANY other of these women? That's a rhetorical question - he does not. Brooke was just a younger woman/mid-life crisis... (who f-cked his son while married to him), Sheila was a psycho who stalked him... Quinn - a dollar store version of Sheila... and... Donna is his erectile disfunction medication. Please explain to me how Stephanie, the woman who defined this man's entire life is his 3rd favorite wife. There is a reason he always came BACK to her during the entire show while she was alive. And yeah... we know he craved younger women for sex after a certain point, but that doesn't mean we can erase history. Also... Stephanie's portrait should be in the house she raised her children in.

This reminds me of me in 2025. Replace the cat with a dog and the Falcon Crest intro with OLTL and I'm there. 😂

She has disgusted me from her second or third episode. That STD act grew increasingly tiresome as time went by... the scenes felt dumb and cartoonish and then the predictable descent into mafia... really boring. In her current condition... I don't take her seriously at all. She's like a joke I have to endure till the good parts are back.

The second one makes the soap appear like something horror-thriller themed. I kinda like it though. Hehe. And the first one is like some National Geographic series about Earth. I like them for what they are.
