One of these days, that hack is gonna learn to keep his ass off social media.

I'm watching the first episode of "Secrets of the Chippendale Murders" on A&E, and guess who shows up in archival footage? That's right: Brian Starcher (ex-Hank). Unfortunately, he was clothed, lol.

Or they could have realized that it was a stupid story and wrapped it up immediately. A soap has gotta do more than drop names and reference histories, though. It's gotta do so in ways that are meaningful and don't insult the memory of those names and events. Otherwise, why bother? That's just another way of saying, "If you think you're so much better than those hacks, why don't YOU trying creating and/or writing a soap?". Trust me, if people on here really wanted to, they would, and whatever they'd come up with would be ten times more entertaining than what's coming from the idiots who are currently being paid to do it! Good point!

Mealor looks toasted in that screen grab.

If ZT sticks around, then they'll have to split up Sonny and Will somehow. You and me both, lol. Marlena's been possessed by the devil twice. She, of all people, should recognize when the devil has leapt back into her grandson. And please tell me Ron Carlivati was not inspired by a certain, former First Lady's infamous jacket.

That would be B&B's answer to DYNASTY's "Moldavian Massacre" and SNL's 1985-86 season finale.

IMO, Patrick Mulcahey's stuff (the "special" episodes and the regular ones) literally prolonged SANTA BARBARA's life. Otherwise, that show would have been a goner much sooner than it was.

I love the fact that Gary's "death" had real, emotional impact on everyone. If that had happened during the Lechowicks' tenure, it would have been treated as just another plot point, with their customary shits-and-giggles. As far as storylines go, the Wolfbridge storyline was pure adrenaline. You knew something exciting and sinister was going on, you just didn't know what, lol. In a way, watching it was like being inside a speeding car where the wheels are in danger of coming off at any moment. It's a miracle that everyone made it to the end.

Alice and Heather Grant were just two characters who were all over the damn place.

Because, that would take more depth than Ron Carlivati is capable of writing. (I realize my hero, Douglas Marland, would want me to be more encouraging toward him...but I can't, Mr. Marland. The guy is a dreadful writer.) If this were still '70's DAYS, with either Bill Bell or Pat Falken Smith head-writing, we might see a story where Craig IS conflicted between his newfound sexuality and his lingering feelings toward Nancy. Instead, Nancy has been retconned into Craig's longtime beard, which is cheap, ugly and dishonest, given their portrayals in the past.

The "Genoa City Slasher" tale Must. Happen.

If the idea was to have the devil tempt Craig through Johnny (and his "gorgeous" body), why not just have the devil appear (as naked Johnny) to Craig in a dream? The devil can enter people's dreams, you know! It would have made much more sense than that scene at HTS.

I feel sorry for their unborn child (who is still slated to be abducted by the aliens upon its' birth). Can't say that I blame him. I'm hard pressed to think of any man, gay OR straight, who'd want to be caught in bed with the likes of Leo. (Craig has obviously been brainwashed, so he doesn't count.)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'd much rather see a story where Tony and Anna encounter a homeless teenager or "tween" and welcome him/her into their home. For Tony and Anna, it'd be finally having a family of their own; and for Anna, especially, it'd also be an opportunity to enjoy those formative years that she missed out on with Carrie.

Every time I see that spoiler, I just get mad all over again. As much as I love seeing Thaao and Leann again, their story is beyond contrived. It's flat-out country dumb. So, what happens if/when Craig (and Leo) succeed in getting Kayla booted from the CoS position? Do they reinstate Marlena at the hospital? Will Nancy oppose their agenda (even if it means hurting Craig)? And why does Leo REALLY want Craig to go after Kayla's job?

I remember that scene very well, lol. How appropriate was it, though, to have Garry Marshall play the "network guy" who utters those words? In the '70's and '80's, his sitcoms were the very definition of "peppy" and "cheap."

I think the ongoing crisis in Ukraine has also played a role in Biden's rising poll numbers. We're seeing what's developing over there (and in Russia) and many are realizing how extremely close we are to having it happen here as well.

There's your big twist: Jill Foster Abbott is taking over B&B...and Brenda Dickson is playing her.

I dunno, I found it sterile, for lack of a better word.

That was the resolution to the Wolfbridge Group storyline, when KL tried combining '70's conspiracy thriller with '80's primetime soap opera. At the time, I'm sure it was very exciting to watch every week; but, in retrospect, I don't think it's an easy story to explain (although, certainly much easier than Empire Valley!) and it was probably a bit beyond KL's scope as a more middle-class and character-driven show than DALLAS or DYNASTY.

He certainly would have been an improvement over Kale Browne, lol. GL: Michael Zaslow (ex-Roger) and Maureen Garrett (ex-Holly). It's always weird to talk about their chemistry, given Roger and Holly's history. But MZ and MG brought so many emotional layers to Roger and Holly's relationship. You never had to work hard to give them material to play, because it was just THERE.

IDK why - because I know now that's not exactly what happened - but this was always my impression(s) of Julia's periodic returns when I was growing up and watching this show on Friday nights (and later, reruns on Lifetime): Julia: Hello, everyone! I'm back! Everyone: Oh, Julia, it's so great to see -- Julia: Okay, I'm going back to the convent! Take care, everyone!

I really enjoyed AMC's 20th Anniversary Special (1990). The premise was so simple: just a gathering of AMC's longest-serving cast members on the show's oldest set, reminiscing about good times and bad.

That IS sad to hear, @SFK. IMO, nobody dressed the characters on AMC (especially Erica!) better than Ms. Luiken.

This is true.
