P.J.

I know Marland's handling of the affair and it's aftermath was more realistic, but there's always a point that realism turns tedious. And I think it got to the point where the audience was asking how much of Kim's reaction was because Bob was unfaithful, and how much of it was because it was Susan. Re: Scott---I thought he fit Andy perfectly. It would have been nice if TIIC had brought Andy back from time to time (if Scott had wanted to reprise the role), but they weren't really bringing anyone back for those kind of visits. I was surprised no offers were made after the cancellation was announced, especially when Julianne Moore came back. It would have been a nice nod to history.

'91---Kim is probably still moaning and groaning about Bob and Susan's ONS. Marland, God love him, did have a tendency to drag things out just a hair too long. It's weird...I know there were many Dans---but I always think of John Reilly when Dan is mentioned.

OMG...that opening! Cody ends up being the father of Cricket's child (Billy Ross, who infamously hit Oakdale to deflower Jennifer right under his cousin Bryant's nose, then never returned from Scotland). I had no clue he also trying to get with Barbara though.

ATWT still leaves a hole in my heart.

Ahh!! Cute little Parker and Will! I loved Hal's little red-headed army! Lisa's probably bitchy about Margo's affair with Alec Wallace. This is shortly after his hitman shot Eddie and briefly took Carly hostage. Alec dies I believe on NYE.

Yeah, I remember parts of Laura/Beau (Carolyn Clark had just finished the role of Leslie on GL) stuff. Not to spoil it, but Laura ends up kidnapping baby Chris. If I recall correctly, a lot of this played out during the writers strike, which by definition, did it no favors.

March to August?

Y'know, I don't think soaps generally did a "good" triangle. They always needed the clear "bad" guy foil, and that was John.

I would assume so. Or at least one of the more highly regarded soap actors to transition to writing. That synopsis isn't exactly the way I heard the story---I believe I heard at one time that Kim had set out to seduce Bob in FL. And I don't think I've ever heard of Jennifer described as "neurotic" or "unreasonable". LOL...if Franny was Bob's "middle-age" attempt at fatherhood...Chris was practically his grandson.

LOL...that is hilarious!

LOL...that's actually not....bad. A tad cheesy, but at least it wasn't shrieked/shrilled/over the top hammy. Sigh...I miss the Mona Lisa. And DAYUM, how freakin' gorgeous is Colleen? Ben H looks almost like a hippy with his "long" hair. LOL.

Not that I recall. Katie's lies/embellishments/behavior was excused morning, noon and night...other than her getting smacked down at the Endicott's. (I'm still cheering Mike walked out on her cheating ass, btw. Smartest thing that block of wood ever did.)

Let's add Martha Byrne to that list, while we're at it.

Eh...I didn't care. I do know there were a whole contingent of fans that got up on the cross like they were the only ones suffering at the time. I'm sure they would have been happier had Helen Wagner simply died earlier, so Goutman could use Nancy's death to fulfill his wrap-it-up vision.

I was going to say the same thing. He looks older than Bob there! He looks like the love child of the Fonz and Columbo.

Yeah, they had played the "friends" aspect of Bob and Kim for so long, it was a little weird to go "there" in the relationship for viewers who had only had it referenced for years, and not seen it. I always saw Dan as Kim's great love, not actually because I remembered it, but because it was continually referenced on the show. If not directly, by the fact Kim was Betsy's de facto mother for years and the rivalry with Susan. I had no idea IP intended for Kim and Bob to be endgame.

I'm the last one to discount breaking points (my last straw with Y&R was airing a recap episode the Monday of Memorial Day weekend, delaying the verdict in Nina's trial....but there were a lot of other things that pissed me off too---Cricket and her constant harem of men, Sheila overload)....but there had to be ten years between the affair and them marrying.

Y'know....I don't really hate the idea of a Bob/Lisa story. If you didn't watch during the '60's, you didn't really get to see them as a couple. Other than Grant, I really do consider Bob as Lisa's great love.

*sigh* My Carjack loving heart melts..... <3

I believe Eduardo was Damian's father's cousin. I'm not sure they ever specified the how and why of it.

LOL at freakin' Lisa shaming anyone for a child-raising related issue. She didn't even raise her own children! I do wish I had seen Lisa/Alma scenes. I think it would be fascinating to see Lisa and her mother.

Well....Lisa did bust up her mother's marriage to Michael Shea. He was a louse, but I'm sure Ellen didn't appreciate her mother being humiliated by the affair that produced Chuckie Shea.

And still smokin' hot, no matter what some GHbitchyfans say.

I was alright with Sarah too---and her relationship with Paul. The writing was the problem. (I still can't believe John Howard was ever hired---certainly not over Michael Park...) I didn't care too much for Mark, as he was the latest in a long line of Lily-defenders, but then again, I didn't hate him much either. (oh, the simplicity of life before the 'net...LOL)

I liked Wert. (and the TNG geek in me loves knowing he's Wesley Crusher's father) But he was no Joseph Breen. I think Wert could have worked in the role, but the writers simply didn't know what to do with him, and once Maura left, he and Yvonne Perry were dumped, while SC limped around and finished his contract in early '97. As one-note as SC ultimately proved to be, Rosanna/Mike weren't a ratings disaster for ATWT. Bringing his Kasnoff siblings was a disaster, but that wasn't his fault. BTW, S, that's one bitchin' banner. Flove two-thirds of it. LOL.
