te.

is zach tinker going to show his penis in this since it's on peacock?

i assume that the subtext about this "movie" is will finally topping sonny x

It's Will writing a movie and if it's realistic it would mean a lot of EJ nude scenes.

Maybe they did the tampoon-in-vodka trick on Brady.

To be fair, I'm not sure it was an attachment to Roman per se, but an underlying obsession with having a "happy family unit", which makes sense since her whole family life had been in turmoil at that point, ultimately spending an undisclosed amount of time living in Colorado being raised by relatives.

Again, isn't there a thread for people who just need a wank? Either way, DAYS started airing episodes from 1993 where I live in 1997 (it replaced daily reruns of KNOTS LANDING - called JR'S BROTHER; it left us at the cliffhanger where dipshit Val finds out her babies are alive); it quickly became one of the highest rated 1PM shows airing because of the amazing plots. I remember skipping school for it and visiting BETH'S DAYS PAGE to find out what would happen next! Good times, good times.

100%. And it didn't really give a long-term impact since sleeping with her husband and getting pregnant with his child did the whole bitter enemies thing either way between Abby / Gwen. Add that Laura could've been useful in this current Mardevil mess.

To be honest, I didn't mind them putting Bill to rest since all the long-term actors have passed away and unless they wanted to invest with a recast (which could always go either way) there was little point. Killing off Laura on the other hand was epically stupid.

Sami remains the crown jewel in JERs creation.

Pretty much - I don't care what the rules are as such, it just has to be somewhat entertaining at this point.

It helps that Ben doesn't have a long history with John (they've barely interacted) + it plays into the stroke John had which led to him having outbursts. So it's not completely out of the realm that Ben would believe her and even think it was possible because of above factors.

They're keeping Sami at the Horton cabin? Pretty sure Sami can just kick a wall down at this point to get out then. I assume it's Lucas that's kidnapped so we can get more Lucas / Sami trapped scenes.

Great that they're adding back a bit of the Horton house - I guess it's that Peacock money at work?

Well, it'll be Duke the bears fault for dressing so provocatively and being available if she does.

I guess we could hope for a Kate Mansi / Marci Miller situation where Ron finally ends up writing the character more in line with the original portrayal once he's seen the OG actress in the part. Like other people have said, ED's Kristen was never psychotic or most of all that impulsive (like stabbing Victor). Insane, yes, psychotic, no.

I think they might be saving his guaranteed appearances now that Sami returns?

I think that was the issue - it's not wrong re-visiting it, but they couldn't have everyone be THAT naive again; the first time around it sort of made sense because no one knew how far Sami (and Lucas) could go, but the second time around they really should've had a hard time with tricking people. I mean, even Ron had people being clued in that Sami and Lucas were up to something this time around.

I think the character just quietly moved out of town. Not sure if it happened on screen or off screen between seasons (LR died June 1992).

I guess Vanessa on Love of Life is a major one here. She never had children of her own, but step-children I guess.

I think they were always going to be rather short runs, at least Our Kind of People since Monarch was always coming. I guess if OKoP had somehow been a huge hit they might've shuttled off Joe Millionaire and put Monarch on Thursdays though. Big Leap is dead as a doornail, but I'd say a season 2 is a toss-up at this point for OKoP. Really depends on how Cleaning Lady and Monarch performs.

Melrose Place's original idea for the season 3 cliffhanger was that Kimberly was supposed to kidnap Sydney and fly a small plane into the building - because someone then crashed a small airplane into the White House lawn in September 1994, the idea was nixed. Of course they then went with having Kimberly blowing up the building and then had to delay the explosion to the fall because of Oklahoma...

We've discussed Mike's problematic SORAS-ing a few times in this thread, but either way, he's infamous for being SORASed in the early 70s to a late-teens/early twenty-something and then remaining vaguely "twenty/thirty-ish" through out the 70s to the 90s when he was finally paired with Carrie and rode off into the sunset. Roark Critchlow did reprise the role in June 2010 so they haven't forgotten about him as such, but I think due to his messy history they kind of end up ignoring him.

Has Rafe had any real personality traits though? I don't think I've ever truly placed Rafe in a box as such... more that Sony/NBC/Corday likes Galen Gering and likes to keep him around. He's an odd utility character that normally wouldn't last two weeks and here we are over a decade later.

Oh that ending was sneaky.

Nothing will ever top Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story. If she even tries I'm sure Deidre will have her booted from the show.
