That might be the best scene they ever aired on Texas!

I thought Gabi said she knew Theo since he was in high school. Not they were in high school. Unless I misheard.

Ok that could me watching. 😀

If Stephanie accidentally kills Jeremy I am done with Days again.

I believe the original concept was set in the antebellum period.

I wonder if the Days writers have watched Wes Craven's Chiller. This Lexie story could take an interesting turn.

I finally finished my Texas rewatch from the beginning. I am as sad about it being over as I was on December 31, 1982. Once it found its footing in the fall of 1980 it was an entertaining show. It had great, unique characters, a talented cast and so much potential. I believe that if the Corringtons and Paul Rauch were given another year they may have been able to get the ratings up. Although Guiding Light and especially General Hospital were incredibly tough competition. I was surprised at how much I liked Paul Rader’s stint as Head Writer. I did not enjoy Pamela Long’s first month as HW but her second month had a lot of heart and she gave Texas a beautiful ending. I have never seen an interview with her where she explained what her long-term story outline would have been. I would be interested in hearing her plans. The discussions Vicky and Reena had about Mr. Brandon cancelling her shows and replacing them with cheap games shows were brutally honest. Didn't expect that. It is mind boggling that Lisby Larson (Paige), Alexandra Neil (Ruby), John McCafferty (Billy Joe) and several other actors never found another successful role in daytime. Their work on Texas was Emmy worthy. I had only ever seen David Forsyth on Anther World so I was pleasantly surprised at how charming, sexy and playful he was as TJ. I know the first few months are slow, but I encourage people to rewatch from the beginning. Get to know the characters and their relationships and watch the show improve.

I thought the rumour was Suzanne stayed friends with him after the break up and took his side. I’ve never heard about an affair.

According to IMBD Mark Lenard also played Judge Fred Billings.

I am loving this discussion of AW's early years and all your memories of watching back them.

Me too!

I just watched Jennifer Runyon on Guest Star with Peter Ferriero. She was even more lovely than I hoped she would be. RIP.

I’m so sad to hear this. I loved Jennifer in every role I saw her play but especially as Sally Frame. For me Jennifer and Mary Page Keller were equally great as Sally.

If she was recurring in this episode she would have appeared after the contract cast not before some of them.

A few years back I read the first year recaps. Janet and Susan were very close and it made Liz jealous.
