In retrospect, killing off Joe and T.J. were big mistakes, if only because the Werners might have helped to fill the void left by the absence of so many Bauers.

Presuming, of course, we ever have free and fair elections again.

I agree. Unfortunately, I think that (Sara being deceived by a murderous fortune hunter) was a storyline they wrote too often for her. I mean, didn't Dean Blackford also attempt to murder her for her dough?

I think that was the climax of the Lee Gantry storyline? IIRC, Lee had married Sara for her money, then conspired with the housekeeper, Mildred Foss, to kill her. Lee had already killed Miss Foss and was about to do the same to Sara in that attic before Joe Werner rescued her, thereby causing Lee to stumble backward and fall from that attic window.

Trust me, the man is too squicked out about S-E-X to get any ideas. His idea of foreplay is the spaghetti scene from "Lady and the Tramp."

He'd probably react the same way any 13-year-old heterosexual lad would. Right up to and including the car wash fantasies.

It's like what Suzanne Sugarbaker said about Tippy Badminton: "If the sun came out, the top came off! If the sun went down, the top came off! If the MOON came out, the top came off!" It's been three decades of looking at Cameron bare-chested and with that odd, third nipple; and frankly, I'm sick of it.

Seriously, Omar Sharif and Julie Christie wore less clothes in "Doctor Zhivago" - and they were in the frigging snow!

I mean, if anyone's good at pretending to be a tree stump with organs, it's Mr. Once and Future Christmas Movie Hunk. And yes, I agree, anyone's skills in the bedroom would decline with Tzeitel.

[!@#$%^&*], I totally forgot about that, lol.

Okay, but... Plot Twist #1: Drew came out of his locked-in syndrome some time ago and is actually faking his condition now. Plot Twist #2: As he confesses later to Willow, he became impotent as a result of the stroke and his subsequent illness, but watching his wife screw another guy actually aroused him. This leads to a very kinky story about Willow picking up random guys and Drew watching and recording every encounter from the closet, and then having sex with Willow himself later. (Don't look at me like that, I got the idea from an episode of "City Confidential").

Poor Sally Struthers. I don't know which was more humiliating for her to do: the "9 to 5" revival, or those correspondence schools commercials. ("Do you want to make more money? Sure, we all do!")

Dream Scenario: Chase and Willow finally do the do. But Chase turns out to be soooooo boring in bed that Willow begins ghosting him at every turn, even faking measles at one point to avoid having sex with him again.

If that's the case, then no one on DAYS should ever hook up again.

And I'll take Valentin, because as long as Billy Joel is out of commission....!

Neither can I, lol! As Rose Nyland once said, "Hubba hubba zing zing! Baby, he's got everything!" (He also got a raw deal when he was on KL, but that's for another thread). I hope it ends with BLQ taking away his video games.

In the past, I've worked with people who were associated with the PP guys; and at the risk of telling tales out of school, your coke references...? Not that far off the mark.

I guess I pleased the gods with my ritual sacrifice. I mean, yep!

Maybe it's because I've watched too much of Donna Mills on KL, but I have to wonder just how pure PP's motives were in bringing back AMC and OLTL. Did they really care about servicing all those disenfranchised fans, or was it all just some shell game (or tax shelter, or dummy corporation, or whatever you want to call it)?

Unfortunately, I don't think she was alone. We know already about Norman Fell's suspicion that they delayed officially cancelling "The Ropers" on purpose in order to avoid bringing him and Audra Lindley back to "Three's Company." But Joyce DeWitt has talked at length about the misogyny she suffered at the hands of NRW, right down to not even being told the truth about whether they had planned to spin off Jack (which they did, with "Three's a Crowd"). Dave Powers, too, talked about how Jenilee Harrison in particular suffered during her time there, as she was thrown into a very tense and awkward situation with no experience or support from anyone. And even though I still think Suzanne Somers (and her husband and manager) overplayed their hands in trying to get her a substantial raise and part ownership of the show, I do believe how NRW and ABC responded to those demands - not just firing her, but reducing her final appearances to cameos (taped on a separate set and then inserted into episode tags, without a proper goodbye scene) in order to "punish" and demean her, and then suing her or threatening to sue anytime she played a character that even resembled Chrissy Snow a little bit in subsequent pilots for other networks - was juvenile. (Again, I'm not saying they didn't have good reason to fire her. I just think they could've been more professional about it). Ironically, that isn't how the show's creator, Stu Silver, intended the show to be. He created "Webster" as a modern-day Tracy/Hepburn comedy for Alex Karras and Susan Clark, who had a deal for their own show with ABC. Then, Emmanuel Lewis impressed ABC executives with his appearance in a Burger King commercial. IIRC, the network snapped him up immediately, with the idea of creating a show around him. Instead of creating that show for him, however, they decided to add him to "Webster" - or "A (Whole) New Ballgame," as it was dubbed originally. Naturally, Karras and Clark were upset by the network's decision, as what became "Webster" was not what they had signed up for; and for a long time, there was tension among the three, until someone (forget who) basically told the grown-ups in the room to stop taking their frustrations out on the child. (Besides, I doubt a show starring just Karras and Clark (and Henry Polic II) would've lasted beyond a half-season anyway, lol). As did "Mama's Family" and (God help us) "Out of This World." But, like I've always said, the bars for quality and for success were much, much lower for first-run syndication shows in the '80's than they were anywhere else, lol.

I agree. 9/11 and its' aftermath sowed the seeds of chaos, confusion and division that have held this country in their grips ever since. In every sense, the terrorists have won.

Which is why it pisses me off to no end how shabbily TPTB have treated her over the years; because, IMO, she, and not Gloria Monty or Douglas Marland, is the one who saved GH from cancellation.

Oh, if only she knew, lol. Because, with David Groh, it's a safe bet that the story will end in either heartbreak or violence or both. (See: "Rhoda," "Murder, She Wrote" and "Law & Order," lol).

And that was just off the top of my head, lol! There were tons more men on several soaps - not just GH (still love me some vintage Stuart Damon!), but AMC, OLTL, GL, DAYS, Y&R - that I found to be incredibly sexy. Not just because they were handsome, or because they were in good shape, but also because they were self-confident. (In many cases, self-confident to the point of being cocky, which brings up all sorts of personal issues that I need to discuss with a licensed therapist, lol). But @Vee and others here are right: JS/Chase comes across too often as a manchild, trapped in a sexless marriage (to one of Tevye's daughters) that makes all those rounds of Doctor you played as a child with your next door neighbor's kid look like Emmanuelle by comparison. Which is why it confuzzles the hell out of me as to why anyone would want Willow - even Good Willow - to get dicked by that boy. I mean, seriously, make that make sense for me, lol.

Well, the drugs were bound to wear off sooner or later.
