Well, Alexis clearly needs more friends then.

I think it's because CH has an injury so Diane is mostly out?

I wish Alexis had a better talk to than her assistant to be honest.

Lol. Probably not, but I think Ingo and Nancy were both for it at the time.

I think they took the patch off because it was starting to hinder SN's eyesight in real life or they were worried about it or something. That could just be an excuse since he still wears it now.

I feel like Jax wasn't very committed to a type like Sonny is. Well, actually his type is probably woman Sonny dated mostly. Who did Riche want Jax with? Chloe? She vetoed Alexis too, IIRC.

To me the actress that played V looked very similar to Miranda right down to the hair.

Yeah, not sure everything that happened with Lark. It looks like she's struggled with mental illness as well. I really liked her on Days. She has a real charisma about her. I do think she and Jonah were boring and kind of wanted him with Sami. Weird, I know, because he was way too old, but he was always so kind to teen Sami. I am not exactly sure if Jamie was ever meant to be more than Sami's friend. She had a crush on Lucas and that's sort of her only thing she has of her own plot wise. It's odd she disappeared one day never to be heard from again. I do always wish when Lucas randomly reappears he's somehow found Jamie and they are together lol. The whole Aremid spinoff genuinely sounds like a horrible idea, tbh. I can't imagine it would have worked. As far as V on GH, I actually think she would still be on if she was cast in the FV era. Popping up, recurring for 10 years, doing some comedic work, wasting budget. I really did like V. She just feels like a wacky Frank character that lingers forever.

I feel like V started as a last minute replacement for Miranda so Jax would have something to do when Sonny/Brenda were together, but Vanessa stayed instead of leaving with Mo like planned. V lasted way longer than her shelf life, but I didn't mind her. She was fun, got her happy ending, and that's that.

Yes she was Wendy on Days. I think she said daytime wasn't the right pace for her. The character of Wendy lingered for a while with a couple of recasts. Her intro was actually interesting with her being homeless and having a child. ETA-wiki tells me she was let go from B&B for refusing to play sex scenes due to her religious beliefs. She's a Jehovah's Witness. I...actually don't think Tyler was wrong about that lol. I think the Nadine character was way too quirky and not in a fun way. A really obnoxious way.

My recollection was that Drake was for the Kate/John pairing and Deidre was not very happy about it. It goes back to an AOL chat or something lol with Lauren and Drake that was very pro the John/Kate pairing and had a few answers that seemed like Drake liked being in a different/new relationship. I read it years ago and it wasn't bad or anything, but I could see how it could get fans of J/M riled up. It seemed slightly disrespectful to Deidre and the J/M legacy. I remember it being noticeably icy between Drake/Deidre onscreen for a while after that. It was obviously part of the storyline, but it felt different. Whatever, they seem to get over it and were fine by the end of the Alex North story.

Thanks! That's what I thought. It was left open ended and got murkier with the Stefano's essence/Steve thinking he was Stefano plot, but basically everyone was pretty sure he was dead just not positive.

@dc11786 I always though SJB's firing was more financially motivated as well on Days. I never thought it was personal. They dumped Carrie, Austin, and Jack (which may have been personal lol) at the same time. I think Madison was popular just not popular enough to keep with Eileen returning and the story pivot they were about to do with Brady. I don't doubt a lot of jobs SJB have been tanked by Moonves and her accusations, but I am not sure if it affected her on Days.

It was completely erased. I am not exactly sure why. I haven't heard Kate mention she and John were romantically involved in years. Weren't they engaged? Lol. There were rumors years ago the whole pairing just ended up causing issues with fans, backstage, between Deidre/Drake, etc., so maybe it was easier to forget the whole thing? I believe Koslow in particular got a lot of hate from J/M and Marlena fans so she literally may just want to never mention it again lol.

Like @AbcNbc247 said Stefano apparently faked his death, so I guess those remains weren't his? Don't know who they belong to. Some poor random person lol? I feel like it's very confusing. Hope got off the hook at the time because Stefano reappeared, but I think it was Shane? or the ISA posing as Stefano to help Hope.

I did lol. I don't think Horan and Ingo had much chemistry, but Brenda would even get the best lines in scenes and Miranda would look sad. I remember Brenda was mocking the love letters that Jax sent Miranda years ago and said enjoy sleeping with those letters while I enjoy sleeping with him and Miranda just cried. Give the girl a comeback line at least lol. The whole thing was probably slanted against her at that point. But even Lily got better disses in. I did think Leslie Horan sort of sparked with MB in their scenes as weird as that sounds. I don't know the show needed to pick a road with the character. Mac? Jax? Cassadine relationship? Sonny/Brenda/Jax quad? Everything was all over the place and she then left town never to be heard from again.

I think the show wanted to keep Duhon until he became too difficult and JMB complained. I believed Logan might have been the original killer, caught on, became Scott's son, Lulu's boyfriend and then the show just ditched him when it was too much trouble. Again, Coop should have been Julia's son or Brenda/Julia's baby brother, but no. The show never even mentioned they had the same last name.

I said most! I was not including James in this lol.

Oh, yeah. I can remember that scene. Honestly, Dylan Cash is annoying af, but he was better than Wiley, Scout, Avery and all the other kids we have now mostly.

Should have killed red headed Michael instead.

Yeah, I don't see much long term potential for Miguel after Lily dies, which I can see the argument to at least keep him on canvas until then, but Riche was very good to him and let him go do his thing instead. I am not excusing Ricky's acting. It's horrible, but I do think he said he wasn't terribly comfortable acting in English yet. Clearly he was very fluent although I think he said he had trouble picking up some nuances in scripts. And let's be real. All jokes aside he probably had the most chemistry fighting with Mo in Spanish lol.

I wouldn't say he had a strong entrance either. He was a hospital orderly, a bartender, then a singer. Idk, they seem to just want to put Miguel in different places for no reason (except the singing). It was clear when he started with L&B that there was going to be a triangle with Brenda/Sonny/Miguel. Then the show backed off and said Miguel had a long lost love that looked like Brenda. Idk, once everything fell apart and Brenda/Miguel were together you probably could have used him through Lily's death. At the end of the day Jax turned out to be the much better option so all's well that ends well.

Maybe? I wouldn't count him though. I don't think there was much hype for him tbh even with the Menudo fame. Ricky asked to leave to do Broadway, so it's not like the show dumped him. I would put him in the same category as Lily. Not very popular characters that reached their conclusion.

No. The first one probably lasted the longest.

Ha! This is the answer. You never would have went after Leticia the nanny as your first victim though. She was way too inconsequential. You would have killed Carly for real, which (I think?) was the actual intended victim. You would never be so sloppy!
