Does anyone else hate what they did to the Dee Stewart character in the late 70s? When played by Marcia McCabe as a teenager, she was often very humorous sort of like the Katie Parker character on Guiding Light.
Then, probably during the destructive Dobson years, she was suddenly God's gift to men. Ian died while having sex with her (seriouslly?) and John Dixon and James Stenbeck obsessed over her. And then there was romance with Brad Hollister and triangle with her sister Annie. Between Dee and Brad, I don't know which one had a more "wooden" delivery.
This period was definitely a low point of the series imo.
