The character of Scott went sideways when it was discovered his portrayer, Joe Breen, was HIV positive. Breen left the role (or was fired) and never really thrived with the recasts, one of whom was Doug Wert. By then, Scott had drifted into the Rosanna/Mike/Carly triangle, was trying to leech off Rosanna, and blackmail Carly (he knew Mike had gotten her pregnant). Carly outsmarted him, but after that Carly lost the baby, Maura left the show to have her first baby ( who just graduated college, BTW) and they fired Yvonne Perry. Scott left town with her, and I believe the last we heard, Ro said Scott had helped her gamble a significant amount if her fortune away. I don't really remember Rick Ryan, but they brought the character back briefly in the mid80's and pinned him with selling baby Sabrina.

First...thank you, and don't ever feel bad about when you can get around to it. It is a huge time investment on your part. But in Easton's list you used Stephen twice. The doctor was Silas.

Yeah, the thing was it became a competition between Cal and Jarrod to see who could buy her the bigger, newer appliance. Sorry to disagree, but I've been in more than one old farmhouse, and the biggest inaccuracy was the room size. That kitchen was about four times the size it would've been.

Beau was the man Bob saw on the park with Laura, but he wasn't attacking her. The bible doesn't say why Beau ran off though. I can't completely hate the strike though---it ended up being the only time a guy actively pursued Iva. I must've replayed their first kiss a thousand times....

Yeah, I can look back and see his faults a little clearer---for better or worse, he rarely cut stories that weren't working, he relied a lot on therapy and eavesdropping. Although I think he did balance the show fairly well, there were times the sturm and drang made Oakdale depressing. But he was the best at creating an immersive, connected community. He mined history for story and didn't rewrite it to his purpose. Writers today couldn't compare. But even among his peers, Doug was special, and I think they knew it.

I seem to recall Peter Simon in leather points as Ian......but I will grant brownie points for finding a pic of Simon looking pleasant. His Ed was always so morose. TYMV.
