Dang, how'd you know she wrote those lines, Kenny? And if so, INCREDIBLE!

I think I remember her saying she added the line about Sami liking (whatever that was) in her tea or coffee or whatever. And from that ALONE I thought she was a genius. She really does need to get snapped up, ASAP.

I know because she was credited as scriptwriter of that episode, LoL.

I saved the lines on my computer.

Oooooooh. My GOSH, you must have quite a collection of "Days" stuff on your computer. All the screencaps, YouTube bookmarks, apparently scripts, the "men of 'Days' " pictures (ahem), and the list must go on and on! I used to have a similar collection for "Passions" on my old computer. (I'm STILL pissed I threw that thing away before finding a way, back then, to keep the incredible E/T duet "Kiss Me," even if it was in RealPlayer format!) Ahh, the Web site ET Passion...THOSE were the days!

I do have quite a bunch of Days stuff. Tons of tapes and DVD's. Over 24 hours straight of "Possession" on DVD. I have probably 150 soap magazines from the 90's to now, in great condition in boxes in the closet (mostly Days covers). And yes, I do have a few scripts, LoL. It's interesting to read the notes written in handwriting along the side ("play this scene lightly... will be used as flashback in later episodes..." etc. etc.). Last script I bought was from Captive Island storyline in 2004, but it's just a copy of the original. Lots of fascinating stuff in a script that you wouldn't expect, right down to how long each commercal break will last.

Oh, my...the flashback thing, was that a JER script? lol. If so, it'd totally make sense. He probably knows in advance which scenes he'll flashback to a thousand times before they lose their worth (and in some cases, after!)

Thanks for the answer. I figured it was something like that, but I also figured some people would assume a Big Brother senerio, so I just wanted it spelled out.

I'm going to be pissed if Y&R fires her the way NBC did. I've read some of her quotes and she's probably not someone I'd agree with politically, but it annoys me that people just hear Osama's name and freak out. I think [!@#$%^&*] should get the chance to take her story to the audience and let people make an informed decision about whether she's too "dangerous" to be writing for a soap. :blink: Has she done Oprah? I think she would be better off if she could lay out her story on that kind of platform and then she might be able to work openly.

    • Anyway...they literally mentioned the secret room today on Days and yes, this show needs a Kristen lesbian story lol.
    • Yes, they did a 'premiere' of Maggie's death episodes at the ArcLight theatre in Los Angeles, arguably then the nicest movie theatre chain in the USA. Plus, Suzanne and Deidre were in a ton of scenes together during this time. Whatever happened between them happened after 2004.
    • There are episodes with Jenny (Mary Ellen Stuart) that she was in pre-writers strike.. and I know that she lasts until at least August 1988. It's a shame that the show didn't try pairing her with Rusty since the two had more chemistry than she had with Ross and that he had with Rose.
    • Was that when she put on the"Slut of Springfield" red dress and made a complete ass of herself at the CC, so of course Alan fell madly in love with her on the spot?
    • Oohh...now I'm not sure. Long did come back in '87, didn't she. She broke up Ross and Vanessa almost from her first minute back. Van and Ross are at the Country Club when Josh dumps Reva. And Reva dramatically drapes herself on the CC stairs. 
    • Glad you enjoyed watching. Yes, Michael seems like fun. I am always interested in more of these niche talk show appearances.
    • Thanks for the tag @DRW50
    • 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 don't know.  The animosity seems to be more recent than the mid 80s.  When Maggie was a victim of the Salem Stalker i remember reading an interview with Suzanne where she said they aired the episode(s) surrounding Maggie death in a theatre and made a big deal about it.  Suzanne was very upset about being fired and Dee comforted her and said that they were making such a big deal about it because it was Suzanne/Maggie.  I cannot find the article but I will keep trying. That said Suzanne's comments on Soapy about how some of the female cast members treated her during her illness was disappointing to hear to say the least.  
    • Anyway... Kristen should have a prison lesbian story arc. And then come out and become obsessed with Marlena so we can move her on from the Brady nonsense. Is that secret room still in the DiMera mansion?
