It was one of Nicole's fantasies. 2:20

I loved Alex Marshall, such a great villain. I wish there were more of his early years on Youtube.

Yeah thanks for posting. I didn't know there was ever a question about who killed Andre. I thought it was obvious that Franco was the killer.

Yeah and in the end he got bad again, so I guess the circle was complete. Sorry don't know.

I was watching Nick Corelli's murder the other day and I felt like the writers treated him as an afterthought in his own murder storyline. So I was wondering if anyone who watched back then know if Nick's murder was originally supposed to be tied to Steve's death, with Jo being Nick's killer or if that was a rewrite? I thought Conrad Dunn was really good in the role but I guess in the writers mind, a pimp like Nick had to die sooner or later. I just wish they had done more with him leading up to his death.

I think he looks bad now. He's aged alot for the last three years or so. Though he did look like a young prettyboy when he came on in 2006. I would say he looked best around 2008. I wish Joe still had those thoughts about Stefano.

Why not? I like fight scenes with men over the catfights with women. That was at the end of the Melaswen story when they escaped the island. Most people hated the story, I liked some parts of it.

Thanks for posting all those articles, great read.

Not all of it. This is more of a "Best of Jude" clip and I didn't want to make it too long.

She was.

I really like that Digest article from June 1996. Thanks for posting!

Yeah there were rumors about Kristian Alfonso having problems with his gay porn past. Jeff himself denied that he was fired because of it and I believe him. Jude was not a long-term character. I think she was only headwriter for about 10 months.

I liked Jeff Griggs on DAYS. I thought Jude was a great villain who came on for a specific story and served his purpose.

DAYS 30th anniversary promo that aired in November 1995.

Here's a promo from the Aremid storyline in early 1996.

These last couple of weeks I've been watching some of my 1995-1996 DVDs, and while I love most of the stories and characters, John Aniston/Victor really was wasted. And this was long before he was fired in 1997.

Drake Hogestyn talked about that in an inteview a couple of years ago.

Thaao started to play him more "Andre-like" when Tony arrived in Aremid. He also smoked which Tony never did. But from what I have read, Thaao didn't dislike the storyline. He called it a greek tragedy. But what Thaao didn't like or thought was hard was lying in a coffin in his last episodes because his mom and dad both died just a few days apart from each other. So playing dead in a coffin while mourning his parents must how been tough. But there was nothing personal with Relliy. Then in 2002 he came back Brash and Cwikly wrote that Tony fell into a coma and Andre was the one that arrived in Aremid. Then in 2004 Tony was killed by the Salem Stalker and Thaao spoiled the story in some magazine. I think that was the moment that Thaao got an enemy in Reilly. During the Melaswen storyline Tony smoked cigars several times and Tony talked about how he cheated death when he framed John for his murder, Reilly ignored B&C's version of the story that it was Andre in Aremid. After Melaswen, the Castle and Iraq, Tony was sent to prison. In 2007 Thaao came back but Corday felt that the character of Tony had been written into a corner and could never interact with the other characters in a normal way, so it would be just another round of him kidnapping or holding people hostage. Corday told Sheffer about Andre and that's how we got the big rewrite that Tony was put on an island in 1985 and everything since had been Andre. It created so many plotholes for the storyline in 1993-1995 and 2002-2003. If they wanted the psycho in 2004-2005 to have been Andre it would have been fine. He could have taken Tony's place in summer 2003 when Tony was in a coma but mysteriously disappeared when Bo and Hope were attacked as the fashion show. AntonyDimera has uploaded something called "The Tony DiMera Project 1993-1995". I highly recommend it. He describe it as: The beginning of Tony's Godfather-esque fall to darkness. Or... the beginning of a reformed Andre's return to villainy. However you wanna look at it". Shortly after the reveal in 2007 Andre was killed off. Tony spent most of the time on the backburner before he was also killed off, in 2009. Corday told Thaao the death didn't have to be permanent and there was always a chance to come back. So far it hasn't happened. On Twitter, Thaao sometime sound like he wants to come back, and other times he sounds happy and has moved on. I personally would love to have him back. I want them to fix all the mistakes of the past when it comes to Tony and Andre but most people seems confused as it is already so maybe that would be too much for them.

It's from last summer when they did mini-clips to promote the "reset/reboot".

That's one of my biggest problems these days. Even if the storylines were good I can't enjoy them as much as I did in the past because of the cheap production they have now. There are so few sets and they all look like crap. I liked him as the sleazy bad guy, and his murder was the last good "whodunit" on DAYS.

Ron Paul. The others are just puppets that will continue with their illegal imperialist wars.
