PJ pretty much explained it with the Diego story. Not mention they stretched out for months, and once Emily stole Diego's body we kept seeing it around town, whether be in Emily's front passenger seat, the Snyder Pond, or in Margo's trunk. Making Kirk the killer was a really dumb move, and the motive was really weak. Angry that Diego double-crossed him on a business deal, with some muttering about Sam being blind due to Diego bombing Damian's plane...sheesh. Mark should have been the killer, out of revenge for Jones' murder. I could see why Kirk let Emily take the rap for the murder, but letting Margo and his own niece be arrested and imprisoned for something he did? That was not the Kirk we knew. Funny though Kirk was never tried for Diego's murder, when he was arrested if I recall correctly James Stenbeck shot him and then Emily stole Kirk's gun from the evidence room.

By the way, there was another dropped story around the time this was all unfolding. Remember how Mike and Lily were supposed to be the next "big" couple? :unsure:

Valetta? Do you mean Nancy's 80th birthday party with Ellen back as the special guest star that turned into ATWT's answer to Titanic? Ick!

Which also reminds back in '98/99 John and Lisa were supposed to get back together. Lisa was all set to marry John but when she got to the hotel room she found out that John had married Carly instead. After they divorced, John announced his intention to have Lisa as his wife by the end of the year...it never played out sadly. Not a very good time in ATWT history...

^^ugh...yes, I remember the first rumblings of the Mike/Lily hookup. Thank God Shawn Christain left...even though it was right in the middle of the Diego investigation, and he should have been a suspect.

I'm not sure the Valletta was named the Valleta when it sunk. But yes, that's the sinking I'm referring to.

And uggghhh, don't get me started on how MANY times the Carly/$50 million trust fund quest was re-written and the terms changed. When Carly left Oakie in '96, it was just that Mike wasn't the father. When Carly returned, she had to be married to the father, and it couldn't be Mike's kid. Then the deadline was added, and the baby had to be born before Jan 1, '99. And on and on.....

Ohhh...just remembered a Y&R one...the Vicki/Neil relationship.

As far as I'm aware, Olivia still considers it a rape. The show has never shown her saying it wasn't rape. They also have not made her out to have "deserved" what happened. What the show HAS shown is more of what happened before the rape, and the show has also shown Olivia forgiving Jeffrey. That doesn't mean it wasn't rape.

      Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!

      I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.

      Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.

      Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!

      Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.

      I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
