Definitely loved seeing the old Steve again.

I still say this story is not his or Kayla's. A new obstacle? Sure. The actual mechanics of the story work for them, or would if they were being played out less isolated (like they have in very few instances), but honestly, we've had now three men by the DiMera family turned into mercenaries. It's not fair to fans of any to see someone else fill a role that's not really theirs.

The way I see it, someone should have been interfering with his remembering. Considering that he was being a liability to Lawrence Alamain (and nameless anyone else's who could have been involved. Victor comes to mind, but I don't know what he was up to those days. Mostly doting on Isabella, I believe.), hid remembering should have been not wanted at all. I would have liked to see the tarot cards be use as a key to keeping him from remembering, as they were introduced as an integral part of the story early on. Now, it's laughable. He remembers, and no one seems to care. That is absolutely lazy. Why the hell did someone arrange his death for? Defend the show all you want, this whole execution has sucked. Thank all that his wonderful for Stephen Nichols, and to a lesser extent, Mary Beth Evans.

I think we should have seen Mary Beth on the show long before Stephen. The characters were developed in isolation, and therefore, not really developed. All Kayla could think about or breathe was Steve. No. Are you trying to tell me she has existed for 16 years? How did she successfully raise a daughter who's not nearly psychotic, or manage to become a doctor? I do believe she never got over Steve and that she never dealt with it. But it wasn't played the right way from day one (and we all know who to thank for that).

I apologize for the rant. :lol:

I was a little bored but it was a pretty good show actually.

Highlights for me were Kayla/Max and Steve. Loved Max with personality. Poor Darin. He really needs to be used more.

And yes, Stephen Nichols saved the show. He's just pure brilliance. He is amazing as Steve.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.    
    • Like I said competing organization But this is not what I want to happen.
    • Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.  
    • Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions. 
    • Another episode with Chandler uploaded.
