Setting aside a general distaste for the story -- I was sitting here wondering how long Erica's doppelgänger Jane story lasted?
Also, how did it begin? What was the setup for Erica to have a double?
Fixed. Thanks for letting me know. DA's passing truly saddened me. More than many of the recent passings. I was holding out hope we'd get one more visit before she passed.
Made even dumber with that Blake/Alexis chokehold, followed by the following season when Matthew resurfaced. WTF?
There’s good reason I have skipped from Season 5 straight to Season 9 on a couple of my Dynasty rewatches lol.
And Chase was supposed to die, but somehow they talked Foxworth back into one more season. They probably shouldn’t have at all.
I was just going through the vault and watching some random episodes from 2001, then 2006. Sigh. What a different show it was back then. It makes me so sad that it’s barely a shell of its former self. It was always so multigenerational. There were compelling stories for all generations without having to sacrifice anything to make it work.
We are exactly the same.
Ashland Locke at least had potential until JG decided to ruin that as he’s known to do with just about everything. It’s clear Sony and CBS don’t give a [!@#$%^&*].
Considering Naomi/Jacob are helping with June... and that she and Jacob have a complicated history with Hayley.. there is more soap opera potential having June and Hayley being related.
This is the downside of the show having one huge extended family... anyone not related to the family are boxed in a corner (i.e. Ashley/Derek, Tomas, Hayley/Bill).
If this were a 30 minute soap, I could understand the one family focus.. but this an hour soap so we best be getting a second family and/or characters not connected to the Duprees unless through work/romantic.. etc.
That guy also abused Beth (the one Lizzie killed), which the show probably should have done more with rather than just giving her a split personality and having her do whatever the plot demanded.
Thanks @slick jones I should mention that someone on the comments for the Ryan's Hope video with Susan Marie Snyder said the episode must have aired in July 1985.
Those photos of Denise Alexander are lovely. The one with Denise, Leslie Charleson and Susan Brown got me emotional. We were so lucky to have them for so long.
It's just an absolute mess, and at this point, I genuinely do not know if anyone could turn the ship around. It feels like we're too far gone from what would be familiar for this soap. Genuinely.
