I think she tried to electrocute Hope, but Larry killed her by accident

Yes, Megan was the other daughter. She was also Bo’s ex-girlfriend

Tbh, I think it was just writers not doing their homework, not studying the history of the show. How many people working on the show probably didn't even know that Stefano had not one but two daughters in the early 80's. Some regimes were more concerned with creating new characters who turn out to be Stefano's long lost children. I always felt like EJ should have been Renee's long lost son. Instead of SORAS-ing the hell out of Susan's son with Stefano, he could have been Stefano's grandson and they could have had EJ torn between his loyalty to Stefano and his love for the mother that he never knew, whose murder was the result of Stefano's schemes. Plus, that would have put him roughly around the same age as Sami

I've heard about for years. I'm so glad somebody finally posted it. You're welcome. And yes, it was Margaret DePriest, co-writing with Sheri Anderson. It seemed MD was a big fan of serial killer storylines. Well, I'm pretty sure Days was the first to do a mask storyline, so you did got to give a shout out to Ron for mining that history. But yeah, the whole idea is pretty stupid lol. I know all soaps insult viewers intelligence but a mask storyline definitely takes it too far. I wish more of Renee and the triangle were available to see.

Here it is, everybody. Renee's Swan Song! I can't tall you how long I've wanted to see this scene.

Thanks! I was recently watching the episodes on YT and I thought they flowed through perfectly. I didn't even know I was up to the post-strike episodes until I noticed Bill Bell's name in the credits again. The only other soap where I've seen a large chunk of strike episodes was Another World, and with them the decline was very noticeable.

Who was writing the show during the 1988 Writer's Strike? It didn't seem like there was a decline in the quality of the writing at all?

My family did too. Days and AW were my first soaps. I was only 3-4 years old at the time but I have so many clear memories of both of them. I actually lived not too far away from the studio that AW was shot at when I was little.

You can thank YouTube and the AWHP for my pre-1995 memories of AW lol. The first time was when he held her hostage to get Mac and he ended up shooting her. That episode is posted on YT. The second time was when she inhaled the poison dust. Carl didn't want any harm to come to her then and was only intending to kill Mac, but from what I've heard and read, the situation just got out of hand.

Yes. He almost killed her three times. You could say the first two times were accidents and that Rachel was just collateral damage, but the third and final time in 1991 he hired someone to kill her because he was worried that she could implicate him in Grant's shooting.

Carl, the villain had to be redeemed. Just like today, the bad guys get propped up while the good guys are destroyed. AW took it to the extreme though. Instead of a woman falling in her love with her rapist, they had a woman fall in love with the guy who tried to kill her lol. Luckily both actors and characters were talented and popular.

Nothing really efficient, especially for the not really well known actors like Rhonda Lewin. Your best bet, I think, are the plot synopses on AWHP.

Here's the link to the 1986 playlist

Practically her entire run is available on Youtube

Felicia and Wally didn't crash into Tops. They crashed into Tallboys.

According to Alice's character page, JC's last day was July 25th. Susan Harney assumed the role on August 25th

I've been binge watching for a while, and I have to say that Nic Coster and Louise Sorel had amazing chemistry, some of the best I've ever seen. I love Lionel and Augusta, they were so great together

Yeah, March 28th, 1975 was their last day. Mary died in that episode and Steve died off screen in May. Lemay was lucky that he was a talented writer, otherwise his choices might have killed the show.

I agree, so all I'll say is not only was it a stupid decision to let BP go, but an extremely stupid way to write her out as well.

Yes, Pat ended up being one of Cecile's biggest targets, apart from Iris. And I do agree that the whole "poor Pat" story was a little funny at times. I would've liked to have seen Pat really take on Cecile and fight for her reputation.

I think after Cecile found out about Iris' scheme to break up her and Jamie in order for her and Dennis to be together was when Cecile became so conniving.

So many years have passed, so many things have changed for students in high school from then til now. Because of that this revival has a better shot at being a lot better then Saved by the Bell: The New Class

I think he knew and he just didn't like that she, George Reinholt and Virginia Dwyer weren't going to adhere to his style, and because of that and because the show had been doing so well in the ratings at the time, he was able to get rid of them. He was very lucky that he was a talented writer and he had the talents of Victoria Wyndham, Doug Watson, Beverlee McKinsey, etc. to work with, otherwise the damage that he did would have been even greater. They were definitely his pets but they were great actors. We, as viewers are also very lucky that Lemay liked Connie Ford, Beverly Penberthy and Susan Sullivan, otherwise he probably would have tried to get rid of them too.

Always loved that Steve and Alice scene. Sometimes, I wish soaps still did scenes like that

With how all over the place it was, I honestly don't think so. 1980-1981 was good, imo. But 81-82 seems like a disaster.
