If I was to compare BtG female rivalries to the best of Bill Bell, I'd say Dani/Hayley would be Katherine/Jill and Kat/Eva would be a mashup of Caroline/Brooke and early Olivia/Dru.

There have been four adult Adams since the 2008 SORAS, and Mark Grossman has lasted the longest (7 years this May).

I haven't seen the 1983/84 episodes in a long time, so I can't remember if we saw Sue Ellen and Peter in a love scene or in bed together. I don't think anybody wanted to see that though.

Re: 1994 Alan casting, I'm pretty sure Jill had a friend in mind for Alan but the friend was either not interested or not available. I ruled out Nicolas Coster as he was on As the World Turns then and Jed Allan as he was recurring on 90210 then, so the friend I think Jill wanted was either Roscoe Born or Lane Davies.

I don't believe 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing. Despite Hotel finish at 9th for the season and being the highest-rated rookie show, I don't feel it was a breakout hit. 1983/84 Aaron Spelling hit factory was Dynasty (3rd), Hotel (9th), The Love Boat (17th), T.J. Hooker (below the Top 30), Matt Houston (below the Top 30), Hart to Hart (final season), Fantasy Island (final season).

BtG letting us know its not grandma's stories from 1986.

Kat needs to be knocked down a peg or two. Nicole needs to be reminded that she kicked Ted to the curb.

Eww. No wife swapping please.

That, plus budget mode.

Josh Griffith needs to go.

Jibre Hordges has been working out too.

Dallas was always the most male-focused of the CBS primetime soaps.

JM can't be an overgrown frat boy forever.

I had totally forgotten that Jason Thompson 10th anniversary was this year.
