Though this is about "Days of our Lives" - Actress Lisa Rinna has written her autobiography, and writes about the living hell she went through working with Robert Kelker-Kelly (Sam - Another World) Lisa Rinna Says Robert Kelker-Kelly "Made My Life a Living Hell" “Behind-the-scenes we hated each other,” Rinna wrote. Declaring that Kelker-Kelly was “horrible to me,” Rinna mused of his behavior, “I’d go so far as to say [he was] verbally abusive. He was passive aggressive, manipulative, and played weird mind games,” she alleged, adding, “I had to work with him every day, often half naked to do love scenes. If I didn’t do what he wanted, he’d give me the silent treatment.” She characterized the actor as “a ticking time bomb” and revealed, “I never knew when I arrived on set each morning if I’d get nice Robert Kelker-Kelly or dark Robert Kelker-Kelly. He was unpredictable and it was exhausting.” The actress confided, “I regret that I stood up to Robert, because I was too young, and I was not willing to make waves at my awesome new job … I still lacked assertiveness and self-confidence when it came to men.” She then asserted, “If Robert Kelker-Kelly was in my Housewives orbit today, he never would have gotten away with his behavior.” While the tension between her and Kelker-Kelly had a negative impact on Rinna’s DAYS experience, she praised her female co-stars, including Kristian Alfonso, who returned as Hope (or “Gina,” as the amnesiac character was known at first) in 1994. “Kristian and I commiserated and looked out for each other,” wrote Rinna. “All the women on DAYS did.” When Kelker-Kelly was fired from "Days of our Lives", Rinna and co-star Kristian Alfonso were given their “own full-time security detail.” Rinna told readers, “I wasn’t worried about physical harm, but NBC had to cover their ass. We had rent-a-cops parked outside our houses and trailers for three weeks and were driven to and from work.”

Sometimes, for whatever reason, people simply leave the reservation. Something clicks in their mind, and they transform into a whole different person. We all have loved ones who did exactly that. I believe that is what happened to Liza. It defies logic to be so close to your mother and then abruptly cut off all communication overnight. While no one truly understands the dynamics of any family, I find it hard to believe that Susan could be such a bad mother that Liza would disown her in this manner. Persisting even after the death of her father. Thank goodness, Susan has Andres. Or else she would be all alone.

It was more than being the "third" wheel in that storyline. Larkin Malloy had already played a storyline with Maeve being pregnant with his child, and Reva being on the outs. The storyline being pitched to him would be Reva being pregnant, and not knowing who the father was. Kyle or Josh. Larkin Malloy felt he had already played that storyline, and wasn't interested in doing it again. That is what he objected to, being stuck in the same storyline.

Because Alan is such a fan of "World Turns" and said he avidly tuned in during the time of the Kasnoff Brothers, it was puzzling to see that he didn't ask Alex Walters about his working relationship with Alyson Rice and the Mark/Connor/Cal triangle. That was a very hot storyline that caused plenty of controversy. In addition, the Alyson Rice/Susan Batten switch was not addressed. I would have expected those two topics to be at the forefront of the interview. I suspect that Alex Walters requested not to discuss Alyson Rice or the storyline as a condition for his appearance on the show, for reasons unknown. (Maybe he doesn't remember specifics about his time on ATWT and didn't want to look like an idiot in the Locher Room?). It is highly unusual for Alan to refrain from discussing past storylines or the prominent actors a guest has collaborated with.

If they were going for a Marcy Walker/Robert Newman romance, it would've made more sense for Marcy to play a recast Morgan. As that that was Marcy Walker biggest complaint, her character was not tied to anyone. Nor did it have any backstory. If she was Morgan, that character had a history with Josh and was connected to both the Bauer and Spaulding families.
