    I know Coronation Street did one that I really loved with Deirdre and her daughter Tracy during the Charlie murder story.

     

    Y&R’s special Wednesday episodes are awful. I wish Patrick Mulcahey were writing for a show because he’d knock a two-hander out of the park, even if the show itself was a stinker.

    I hated the Charlie murder plot. But this was an awesome episode.

  2. I've been rewatching Archie Bunker's Place. The last time i saw it was when it originally aired. And i was a small child. I'm in S3. I like Billie and Gary. And Archie's Puerto Rican love interest Katherine. I noticed Archie's can be very bigoted like he was on All in The Family. Other times he was more progressive in his views.

    I think he would have had a character like Leo, but I don't think he'd be as garish, for lack of a better word.  Again, he would have made us understand what made someone like Leo tick. 

    For example, I could see his Leo coming from a poor background - the product of a dysfunctional family, with an abusive father who kicked him out of the house when he was still a teenager after learning his son was a "f****t." 

    And I could see it being revealed that Leo was then taken under the wing of an older escort/gigolo/con artist, with the strong implication that the two had had a sexual relationship.

    Would all that have helped us LIKE Leo better?  Maybe, maybe not.  But at least we would've been able to empathize with the pain and isolation that has motivated him his entire life.

    Under Doug, Leo wouldn't be so trashy and bitchy.  He would be sophisticated and urban. With no clown suits. We would see lots of therapy scenes with Dr. Michaels. Lisa would take him under her wing. Lisa would regale Leo with tales of her bad girl days. We would see what makes him tick. Through voiceovers/flashbacks and therapy sessions.

    Yeah. I watched Reilly-era DAYS as much as anyone, but of all the long-running soaps, I find I have the least connection to DAYS. Yet when I stumble upon ‘80s supercouple-era DAYS, it’s so much smarter and richer than I’d expected. That’s a soap that I might have cherished and not just watched for high-calorie, low-nutrient sugar rush.

    I love 80s supercouple-era DAYS as well.
