Upon reflection, I think you're right, their chilliness toward each other was more recent. She said women on the show in 1984 were not supportive and she still stays away from them. She seems friendly with Susan Hayes so Deidre is the only woman still around from those days, though I guess Kristian Alfonso and Leann Hunley could also qualify. And it might be someone long gone but who is still present in Suzanne's social circles.

I'm so glad she's still on the show. Seems like she may have dropped a hint about the real source of conflict between her and Dee, too.

Maggie's husband Mickey and Marlena's husband Don were law partners and best friends, and Maggie and Marlena got along famously.

They were indeed close at one time – Suzanne played herself in Dee's "Never Say Never" TV movie, supporting Dee on her surrogacy journey.

Maree is not "my" Marie -- that would be the dearly departed Lanna Saunders -- but I'm awfully glad she continues to pop up. And I'm thrilled that today featured some clips I've never seen. I loved action hero Tom Horton breaking the glass doors into the office where Bill and Mickey were struggling, and seeing a young Susan Flannery. She looks fantastic.

Yes, I didn't like most anything from that year, but it was a treat to see (what was left of) the Matthews in that Christmas video. But I know at the time I didn't like Linda Borgeson or Jennifer Runyon, and I wasn't happy with a Pat-Brian pairing, either.

It was staged very strangely because my impression was that someone tried to stab Alex.

AW: • Rachel taunting Alice about Steve: "We had a love you could never know." • Practically any scene between Vicky Wyndham and Beverlee McKinsey • Rachel saving Mac in St. Croix • Dennis and Jamie discovering Rocky's dismembered body beneath the floorboards of the Cory boathouse • The sound of Olive Randolph wailing over the end credits after she discovered that her husband killed her lover

They were all effective but Paul's is the one that got to me most. Christopher Sean has the same ability Drake Hogestyn had –- to make me absolutely believe that his character cares deeply for his onscreen family and friends.

Going back to the Reilly days, so many Salem residents have killed, tried to kill and/or threatened to kill people with virtually no fallout for them. It's bothered me for decades. With the new writers, it seems there might actually be actual consequences to Xander's violence this time. I hope it's not resolved quickly. Paul and Linsey both did a great job today.

Oh, no. I came in at the tail end of her Susan Martin run on Days and instantly loved her. I started watching GH because of her, not the Luke & Laura phenom. And though I thought AW wasted her as Mary McKinnon, her talent and charisma was still on full display. Thanks for the memories, Denise.

As a PR person, she's undoubtedly written zillions of press releases and presentations, so I don't find it that much of a stretch. But it sure did come out of nowhere. I don't know if any soap has done particularly well with a book plot, though, so I'm apprehensive of where this will go.

I think she remained quite popular with fans even as the show limped to its demise. Didn't Brian Frons once get upset because the Carl-Rachel romance garnered the most fan mail, beating out the hot young couples NBC wanted to position as the "stars"? She was certainly the main reason I kept watching until the bitter end.

Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea that was her. I have a hard time seeing the resemblance to her earlier self even now.

Get rid of Susan and the show gets rid of me as a viewer.

I like her, too, it's unfortunate that her story (such as it is) was so ill-conceived. I imagine the character will be back at some point with Alex's spawn in tow, probably in conjunction with Chloe's biennial return. I think Alexann Hopkins will have gone on to greener pastures by then, though. Yes, this seemed pointless. And I hate that Kimberly is given another medical crisis -- even if it is off canvas --- to usher Theresa off. I really liked yesterday's suggestion here that it's Drew, not Shane, we've seen the past two days. But, alas, I don't think that's the case.

This tune still runs through my mind all the time. For me, it’s the most memorable of all of Marty’s great pieces. RIP.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to a "street carnival" in tiny Horton Square. And the idea that a such a thing would raise enough money to save a hospital from bankruptcy is almost as outlandish as a latex mask changing the height and body shape of the wearer.

That tiny apartment looked bigger than any current Days set. I was impressed with the size and scale of all the sets, though I don't think they were always well served by the direction. That will come with time, as the directors get more comfortable with the environment. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw, given the current state of daytime TV. Not surprisingly Tunie, Davis and Duplaix are the cast standouts, but I think some others have promise, too.

Indeed. I think the show had some wonderful and charismatic Black performers through the years, in roles all the way from Peggy Nolan through to the Burrells. They were just never very well served by the show.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time Ron performed character assassination on a returnee. (I'm looking at you, Diana Colville.)

Chad told Leo that the paper’s checks to Lady Whistleblower were deposited in a Rochester bank.

Wow, she still looked great. I really liked her, I hope she’s doing well today. David Bailey was very boring, especially compared to Sam Groom, his predecessor as Russ. I really only have vague memories of him on AW, but I remember being excited to discover him post-AW on his own syndicated series, Police Surgeon. I did find Michael Ryan oddly compelling even as he played a frequently overbearing, chauvinistic and — thanks to his pairing with Olive — stupid man.
