I'm very worried about where that storyline might be heading.

We are so merciless on these poor young actors, lol. I, myself, tend to be like the late Sam Hall. I get very annoyed whenever I see an infant or toddler on TV who is clearly looking straight at the camera or up at the lights. That's all we can really ask for. I'm not expecting Steve Burton to turn into Larry Bryggman. I just want him to try. Give the new writing team something to work with!

I truly believe the man just wants to be a Chippendales dancer.

All I really know about RFK Jr. is that he thinks vaccines cause autism, that wi-fi gives you cancer, and that the way to the WH is to let people record you pumping iron with no shirt on.

It'd be like watching "Good Times: The Next Generations."

To me, it seems a little strange for anyone, let alone for Anna, to recruit a former (?) mob enforcer for the police department - I mean, wouldn't it be the other way around, lol? - but, like @Vee said, I don't think Dex is long for this show, so whatever. I don't hate it.

I agree! I'm surprised MAB didn't have him running an all-sandwich food truck, lol. It is! Or, it would've been. To me, though, it was frustrating how the one, semi-wealthy African-American family on soaps had to run a bunch of Baskin-Robbins knockoffs while their white counterparts got to fry much bigger fish, running oil companies and media conglomerates. Especially when you had the real-life Johnson family IN Chicago running Ebony, Jet and BET. On the other hand, at least Sally Sussman had the decency to spare us all from "Marshall's Famous Fried Chicken."

You know you've messed up when Chuck Todd says, well, anything.

What if Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahey are about to pull a Josh Griffith and handle all the breakdown/outline-writing duties themselves?

I concur!! As loathe as I am to admit it, JER is EXACTLY who and what DAYS needed in '93 to "rescue" them from the bottom of the ratings barrel.

I wouldn't say he's "hot as hell," but he definitely has become a very handsome young man, lol.

There was a lot going for CAPITOL, especially when Peggy O'Shea and (later) Henry Slesar were writing it.

Why do I feel like you should be telling us this inside an empty parking lot, with your face obscured by shadows and cigarette smoke?

I'm sure the soap press would have criticized it, but at least Bill and Luke were cousins. I still don't know what, if any, connection Tad and Ted had beyond looking alike, lol.

AFAIC, Thomas could wait the next 1000 years until Hope is ready to marry him. He stalked her and terrorized her for months on end. He deserves to be left twisting in the proverbial wind.

Sorta brings new meaning to the phrases "hold the phone" and "off the hook." At the time, I loved watching the "Who Killed Georgie Phillips?" story. For me, it was the first time I was riveted by anything that OLTL was doing since at least 1991, lol. And I thought the climax, which aired in primetime, was particularly tense and riveting. In retrospect, however, I can look at that story and see the excesses.

"Unbearable" doesn't begin to describe that [!@#$%^&*]. It's become my "NIAGARA FALLS!".

Welp. I guess time's almost up for Gonzo, er, Gregory.

You know, I wonder what would have happened, had GH and ABCD allowed Tony Geary to keep playing Bill in addition to Luke. Obviously, TPTB knew Bill was a dud and wanted him gone with the quickness, but what if they had agreed to let him play both roles simultaneously all those years? Who knows? Maybe TPTB and TG wouldn't have taken Luke down such a dark path.

You're not alone there, @JamesF, lol. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about '90's OLTL! I'm sure @Vee in particular will look forward to reading them.

I agree. Plus, I think ABCD was reluctant to lose that half-hour to the affiliates. I can't recall how much time elapsed between the cancellation and final episode of THE CITY and the premiere of "The View," but I do remember that the latter series used one of TC's sets for several years. Curiously, she doesn't mention it at all in her memoir, which suggests to me that even Agnes Nixon had written off the show by the end of her life. Just as I'm convinced that Douglas Marland took his name off the show before exiting, because he knew the show was a dud, lol.

ICAM!!

Fingers crossed that Dee and Suzanne have settled whatever, alleged differences they had between them. (Like sands through the hourglass, ladies!)

I think @Vee hipped us all to the fact that Ron Carlivati's original plan was to reveal that Bill Eckert was indeed alive and pretending to be Luke before folks caught on and he and Frank Valentini changed things.

In retrospect, Brettschneider/Jason seems almost like a prototype for what Roger Howarth/Todd would become.
