Contessa Donatella

An argument between Ada & Nancy is something I did an edit for. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIjAI28pJx-/ I don't think they had something better planned that they either dropped or shortened. When I had that very brief Twitter DM conversation with Jean Passanante all she had to say was that it was "strange" which I certainly did not disagree about. Learning that she & Leah thought it was a strange story led me to speculate that the network alone wanted that story told & everyone else was just trying not to get sucked into some gaping hole. It was a shame, too. VW told me that they were getting someone to write romance for them. It wasn't clear to me whether that meant personal love pairings or the grand romance that life can be. The only thing good about Lumina, IMO, anyway, was the masked ball. Those costumes were amazing! Shawn & his merry band did all of the headpieces by hand. https://www.instagram.com/p/DFT8rG5OtnS/

Oh, sorry. I was comparing Sin Stalker to Fax Neuman & didn't realize we weren't on the same serial box. [cough] Sorry, too punny. Honest, I do not recall anything about the first 1996 serial killer. It was SO BAD that there were two!!! Not a problem to agree to disagree. I was very proud of the actors. Wasn't it that after the strike they chose to stay with Swajeski rather than go back to Pete? Stupid, short-sighted decision. Don't get me wrong. I actually like Swajeski but if it was a choice between her & Pete, it's Pete by a large margin. If I am scrambling what happened when I'm pretty sure someone will be along to clean up. 🙃😉

Well, look at that, it writes itself! See, I don't per se object to their vanishing TJ. I just want them to actually do it. If he's going away, which he must be, just say it for cripes' sake instead of just this not knowing nothing.

Both of those serial killers were written by Margaret De Priest. They were not both produced by JFP. To me the Sin Stalker was better because the shrink/killer was far more interesting plus the actor is sublime. Plus, it was a good Lisa story. She got an amazing final scene that was straight out of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.

I just posted my favorite JJ scene on my IG. https://www.instagram.com/p/DI7FFLeJN30/ DAYS, a blast from the past, 2013 & my favorite JJ scene, despite his not appearing. Still he made these donuts but they were not meant for the book club!!! This used to be a regular post on Twitter. Salvaged. "Stoned Book Club"

Absolutely! The not mentioning is so loud it's positively glaring!!!! How hard would it be to say Doctors without Borders?

Yabbut there are too many people already!!! A cast of 1000s, a cavalcade of stars, ... ugh. BLOATED! At least a dozen need to be cut before any additions!! But, if Molly is to have a new relationship let's have it be very regular. She & TJ were outliers. Possibly a minority rapport but IMO recasts Molly & Kristina have been perfection for what the characters were set to be doing.

1st things 1st, WELCOME! Now, I cannot parse who you're describing. Male detectives at this time include: Shawn, JJ & really a PI now not a dick, Rafe. NONE OF THEM are DiMeras! Plus anyone who was Johnny's brother could not be Chad's & vice versa. Chad is Johnny's uncle, different generations. Again, and still, not sure who you mean, sorry. We have consensus on very few things. Ron Carlivati, Leo, ... Theresa's wig, Ken Corday, ... I think that's it. Like most I am a huge fan of Eileen Davidson & so it took me a very long time to accept Stacy as Kristen. However, now, I give her strong support for Kristen & for Susan Banks but she has yet to get Sister Mary Moira's voice right. I still call Kat F'Abby/Kat for Fake Abby because that is who she was for so long. Kristen has more than one note. She wants Brady. She loves her daughter, little Rachel. She wants to know what happened to her mother, Big Rachel. She loves power & money & good food & drink. She's been in trouble with the law more than once. Oh, yeah, commentary on your couples in your sig: Otalia, YES but Olivia & Phillip were HAWT, so yea, but, hold up, Holden & Carly?!!!!! Sorry can't go there with you. Holden & Lily and CarJack.

One thing you have to remember about Jill is that she is a team player, first & foremost she is loyal. And, on occasion she says some rather wonderful things. "Script writing is the secret weapon of daytime. They paint the picture. A good script writer is everything." - Jill Lorie Hurst, 3-15-23, Locher Room chat room

With Cody I am afraid that it's be careful what you wish for. I say that because the last time they showed a lot of interest in writing for him we got that whole feel sorry for yourself thing. Truly awful.

You are very welcome. The people in them are Gabi, Stefan who is Vivian's son, Leo who is in everything, Dimitri who is the best looking hunk, Vivian herself, a random thug, Gwen who is married to Dimitri but her bestie is cheating with her husband, so there's that.

Thanks!!

Is that Ghost Dixie?

Absolutely no doubt about these romantic pairings: Frankie & Cass, Paulina & Jake and Vicky & Ryan. Arguably, all 3 best ever. None of you has listed the most important aspect of this time period & that is Anne Heche.

I actually liked the Sin Stalker. And, I also liked the reveal of the Red Swan. It made Paulina a legitimate Cory, proving that Mac was her father. How could something have been better? So, you're describing Fax Neuman except you've left out his murdering Frankie!!! If it wasn't Nicole who killed Jason then who?

@MaximHere are the 3 video clips. The dates they represent are from March 1992 & Sept/Oct 2023. https://youtu.be/BxBYJXyTwTk https://youtu.be/8XeXImw_7KA https://youtu.be/10FsVJjTun4

At ATWT Hogan Sheffer had that kind of arrangement. And, of course, at GL when Ellen Weston supposedly was a HW she, too, was paired with someone who actually could do the job.

So interesting.

The very idea of Ron boldly driving forward is ludicrous. We know what he does but we also know what he doesn't do. It matters.

I thought it was pretty close.

That Egyptian dust was my first thought.

I have this, the original, I mean. I have this. I have a clip that shows the opening credits & I have a copy of the full episode.

100% agree. But, now you've done it. What was the worst story ever told on AW?

Sometimes I am amazed that the show was even able to recover after May 1st, 1989, Doug's death. But the Red Swan was in a way a punishment visited upon the fans.
