I dont think its Sam propping at all. I think everyone has to take in mind is that its Amelia thats overexagerating this. None of the other characters are going on about how Sam is a hero. No one is even talking about anything she did back at the MetroCourt. Sam is trying to move on and she's downplaying it but Amelia keeps getting in her face about being a hero. She's the one thats spouting out that stuff 95% of the time and its not to prop Sam; its to bring her down for whatever reason she's out to get her

At first I was like "WTF did she do to deserve this?", but then I realized that it was all mostly Amelia trying to get back at Sam for something, clearly... it's just her plan to hurt Sam, I'm sure...

Mateo is alive.. We saw him alive and well in the hospital after the whole crisis was over...

she helped save them. Craig's original plan was to run in there shoot up the place, get what he wanted and then blow it all up. The idea was for the focus to be on the carnage so that he could make his escape. When Sam hit the alarm, she stalled his plan for at least 12 hours, warned the cops and bought them time to think up a strategy. Had she not done that, most of them would have been dead within the first hour. She is considered a hero bc she scaled out the window wearing the suit of the gunmen and risked her life to inform the police of Craig's plan. The cops had a shootout with the gunmen and they could have easily shot her when she escaped since she looked just like them, but she showed courage and put her neck on the line when she did so. It was a risky move but it was a brave one. Thats why I think some might consider that action heroic

Exactly. Its not propping at all, its just a set up for the big takedown.

And to me, Sam did do something major. I don't know about calling her an all out hero but at the end of the day, she managed to sneak out of the hotel when noone else could and warn the police. She risked her life. She didn't do it for completely heroic reasons though, it was about doing what Jason told her and her own preservation. But Sam did a major thing on the face of it, I thought the PCPD did a nice job of handling it and giving her kudos, at least Lucky and Cruz.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
