For whoever was asking about this, we finally know what happened to Anderson Manufacturing.
After Bob died, he left the controlling interest to Chris. The company got involved in the solar generator project which was sabotaged by Alex and Kellam and Jarvis. Kellam was then able to take over the company. When he was killed, Tod took it over. Eventually, Mary made a deal with Tod: if he sold the company to her, she would help him get Jessica, who he was in love with. Mary then ran the company again until she was killed by the Salem Strangler. In her will, she left the company to Phyllis and Melissa. This is where all those mentions of Melissa's shares came from. Phyllis then sold her shares to Tony and Stefano. Yeah, technically they were partners with Melissa ๐ After Stefano's "death", Tony sold the company to Alex. Eventually, Alex lost most of his money to Stefano and sold Anderson to Maxwell Hathaway. When Max died, Megan took it over. Megan eventually sold it to Linda. After all that plotting when she was married to Bob, Linda finally got her hands on Anderson ๐ Melissa, who was estranged from Linda at the point was so angry about this that she secretly sold her shares in Anderson. (Melissa was still a minor and Mickey was still managing it for her, so she forged his signature) And as a result, which such a large block of stock being sold for so cheap, the company went belly up.
Gotta tell ya, I was surprised at how many times the company changed hands before it stopped being mentioned.
The tweets about it have been pretty hilarious ๐๐
