Man, that sequence tears me up to this day. GL had suffered extraordinary losses in the past, but there was something about losing Maureen that was difficult for many to take.

I think some will admit they've been conned and still not care. "At least we had a real American in there for a change," they'll say, "and not that atheist pinko commie peso Hillary Clinton (and her Perry husband), or that Muslim who wasn't even BORN in these United States!"

I actually had forgotten that incident. Which shows to go you that mass shootings are becoming entirely too common in this country.

Yep. Let's be honest: if someone were to target the GOP's richest donors in one of these tragedies, they would be all on gun control legislature the very next day. They care only about their damn pocketbooks.

Well, if it's true that Marcia McCabe finally dumped that s.o.b. she called a husband, then I say good for her. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Marcia (and for Sunny), and I believe she could do so much better. Now, if someone could get her to return to acting full-time....

It's common to paint African-American men as gun-happy gangstas, but I think it's the other way around. When a Black man gets angry enough to kill, he kills the person who's made him angry and leaves it at that. But when a White man get angry, he sprays bullets all over the neighborhood and kills innocent bystanders in the process.

B&S sounds more like a prime-time miniseries than a daytime soap opera. Whenever I read these articles about them, in fact, my mind conjures up images of Fifth Avenue shopping montages set to Debarge's "You Wear It Well." Picking the right name for a soap opera is almost an art form unto itself.

Yeah, I've read somewhere that the storyline w/ Vargas increased SFT's ratings by a half-million. Unfortunately, many checked out, or checked out again, when the story finished.

Was that the entire cast at that time? Shouldn't there also be Alan and Elizabeth (and Phillip)?

I still think my idea of Rick Bauer nearly dying and reuniting with his birth mother, Leslie, in Heaven was a good idea for GL's finale. Just as I still would like to have seen Phillip reunite with Elizabeth (in the flesh) and with Jackie (in spirit).

Dear God, did anyone "get" Becky Lee in the '90's?

The "Salem Stalker" storyline was nowhere near being DAYS' finest hour.

This is the kind of story, by the way, that I would have loved to see on daytime BITD.

As much as I loved watching Erika Slezak, Robin Strasser and Kim Zimmer in the same scenes, I have to admit that, IMO, Slezak and Strasser often overshadowed Zimmer. Maybe it's because Zimmer hadn't been on OLTL for as long as the other two.

IA. I believe there was room enough on GL for the Bauers AND the Spauldings AND the Marlers AND the Norrises AND the Thorpes AND the Reardons AND the Chamberlains AND the Lewises AND the Shaynes.

I wouldn't have minded Armand Assante as Rico. Especially because it was during the mid-to-late '70's and you had big-name, high-energy and decidedly ethnic actors like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino playing ethnic roles in iconic movies like "Dog Day Afternoon" and "Taxi Driver." Assante brought some of that to TD and to daytime; and having him portray Rico, rather than Mike, would have better exploited that quality. But I don't think I could buy Chandler Hill Harben in ANY role. IDK why, but he doesn't captivate me as a viewer.

I'm just glad they never had Dr. Bob go through some midlife crisis and marry a girl who was barely out of diapers.

If nobody else needed to sing the ADW theme song after Aretha sang it, then why did the producers have Boyz II Men come in and redo it for the last season?

Oh, well. He made his bed, etc.

Which was okay by me, since she was handled badly from day one.

I'm not going to lie or exaggerate: ever since I've heard about Manafort and Cohen, I've been downloading Pointer Sisters videos on YT like a mofo. It just seems appropriate to bring out Sister Ruth, Sister June and Sister Anita to help me celebrate!

Unfortunately, having Beyonce do the tribute would have re-opened old wounds.

Now I know why I've never liked roller coasters.

This is like "BlackKklansman," but instead of the KKK, you're infiltrating conservatives, lol! Sadly, though, I don't believe the GOP will ever take Russian interference seriously. If anything, they see it only as something that works in their favor.
