Yes!!!!

I love them together, but I do wish we could see them once more. (Of course, if I had an ABC soap revival we'd also see the ghost of Gwyneth Alden some Halloween, so...)

Loved loved loved Robert Bogue. It was weird when he began showing up in major video games, including doing the physical model work in addition to his voice. (Both he and OLTL's Doris Belack were in the last two Grand Theft Autos!)

She appears to be happily married with a sculptor daughter in Arizona. I'd kill to have seen Lorraine again on AMC 2.0, preferably reunited with Charles. (side note: Do not ask me about the teen scene Halloween trip to the ghost town of Corinth I'd write if I had an ABC soap revival to myself.) Rush also apparently had a recurring role as a doctor on PC in '98 - I do not remember that at all and would love to see it.

One of the greatest scenes of the LM: Ava's monologue to Alex (timestamped below). I don't know if this is her last day or not; I hope not, as I feel the reasons for her to end the marriage entirely vs. leaving town are still too thin. I don't know how they'll transition from this to Alex and Jocelyn. Also, from the climax, which I feels bears out my theory on the killer, along with other recent pieces including one in the above with Neal Warren - they know but have mentally distanced it; it's not DID or blackouts, they've always clearly known it is them, but the lines are psychotically blurred. The killer never, ever speaks or mentally identifies as "Trisha". Trisha is just a mechanism. Some great stuff with Angie and Lorraine, too. Frontburner black story!

This... seems like the rantings of a crazy person. This seems like some fetish fantasy this guy wrote up.

We've been talking about it a lot lately in several threads, including this one and the Loving one. The black canvas and its central force in story on LOV '95 is consistently amazing to me, even more now than when I was watching as a kid bc on today's soaps, 25 years later, it'd never happen. I just wish we could see Elise Neal's character, a young schemer who I don't remember and who was killed off as a rushed rewrite in '94.

Geoffrey Ewing is absolutely wonderful in the later episodes of the Loving Murders playlist with Maggie Rush as Lorraine. (I Googled her BTW, she's still beautiful) I know they brought Lorraine onto The City and gave her a cool pairing with Roscoe Born and said she and Charles broke up bc he was on the rebound, but I like to think they're back together.

I'm glad Jesse seems to be doing well. He looks better recently. He was always the only J.R. I really liked, though I grew to accept Jacob Young and Ryan Bittle. JY's stories just sucked (though unf, his recent IG is hot).

Making my way through the curtailed S4 - it only got half its season completed (plus tonight's animated episode, previewed above) due to the pandemic. Max being back is lovely, though I keep expecting a shoe to drop in his and Penelope's renewed romance. The pregnancy news for is intriguing. I wonder if Alex's hair is due to another role Marcel Ruiz took before filming - it seems to be lasting past Halloween.

He's just the best. So hot, too.

Laurie Heineman can be seen as Sharlene in the mid-70s episodes from Eddie Drueding that ended up on YT a few years ago. I don't know if they're still there, but I DLed them long ago.

What happened with Hicks?

Just ban permanently.

@DRW50 - check this out. These run for a week.

@marceline we're waiting for you on Rampgate!

LM 67-68: The reactions to Jeremy’s death are gutting, particularly Ava and Angie, who knew him best. Randolph Mantooth is heartbreaking as he struggles to bridge the gap with Ava - you can see why this might be her final straw. They’re such a good couple, I wish we could see them together again once more. Jeremy was always a lovely presence for me even when forced, so dashing and gentle. The deep callbacks to his AMC history with Angie don’t end there - Gwyneth says at the end of the episode that she got a call from Erica Kane about it! The convo between Jocelyn and Ally about her rape accusation is very good and very educational even for today, but unfortunately it illustrates the mistake of doing this unseemly subplot at all. The Charles/Lorraine stuff, with him so vulnerable and broken and her strong instead, is lovely. Her passion makes Geoffrey Ewing soulful. I liked her humming their song as he slept. Jesse as the spectral hitchhiker counseling Jacob sounds like an Agnes thing to me, but who knows. (She had to be behind Williams’ return.) I wish we could see it. Did Jacob arrive in February or March? Charles says Angie made him wait three months for her to marry him, and by July they were newlyweds. I still don’t know how to read some of the killer’s reactions in recent episodes prior to Jeremy. And I’m still surprised they left Trisha like this unless they intended to lure her to TC.

LM: The cave in with Ally’s kid and Danny is a full on Event that def feels like Linda Gottlieb who was apparently involved in '95. It is redolent of her Al/CJ down a well anniversary episode on OLTL in 1993, it has most of the cast on the scene just like OLTL, and there is a whole show-y film element with Frankie’s microphone picking up Danny's voice blasted to the entire town. An excellent setpiece which leads into the pretty racy Jacob/Angie lovemaking, and Jeremy's epiphany.

I don't, but I'd heard a bit recently. Awful.

Malone was on by end of August, I know that much. Jason Webb turned up then. This is Joey Thrower as Kevin. Malone and Gottlieb kept the Larry/Viki relationship and his closeness to the family; Viki calls him "Uncle Larry" to Joey. Michael Storm's last appearance, a recurring stint in 2004 during Malone's heart transplant story for Viki, kept that. I always appreciated that.

Richard Cox is incredibly hot as Giff Bowman; I know him best as one of the killer's terrifying avatars in the infamous Cruising, so seeing him on a soap and having to place the face and voice was something else. Was he brought in by Munisteri? He should've hung around vs. Jeremy, though Jean LeClerc was always charming.

It scared the [!@#$%^&*] out of me when I was a kid. I knew something was very wrong with the Victor Lord myth way before they started doing those disturbing, Twin Peaks-esque dreams of Viki's with Victor and Sloan, and I had a feeling I knew what it was (I was right, but at that age I didn't really articulate it). But when Viki turned into Tommy, went apeshit, called Dorian an ugly bitch and threw her down the stairs I was terrified. I didn't know she'd had DID so I just assumed Viki, who I liked a lot, had gone completely insane. Like the LM, I haven't seen the full DID story since '95. A ton of it is on YT now but I'm not sure there's any organized playlist.
