Hello everyone,

I just wanted to start a thread of our favorite Dixie memories. I'll start out with mine:

-Tad rescues Dixie from Oak Haven

-All the weddings

-Tad and Dixie in the woods with Ted

-Dixie's return right after Holliday's blew up

-Dixie slapping Tad to let out the anger of him cheating on her

-Finding out that they were pregnant with Bess

And so many more...

-Tad proposes to Dixie in the chicken suit.

-Tad and Dixie's reconciliation in Napa Valley.

-Tad sees Dixie after the Holiday's explosion.

Many more, but those are my Top 3 (I could go on forever.. hehe).

Wow, too many to choose! But along with what has been mentioned in the above posts, I'll add a few:

Tad realizing that he loves Dixie way back in '89.

Tad asking Dixie to run away with him while they were both in the hospital in '89

Napa reunion

Tad and Dixie locked in the bathroom together at Cortlandt Manor

Dixie proposing to Tad to "make an honest man" of him

Dixie hijacking Tad on the plane and having her way with him

Sigh...pretty much all the T/D scenes I've ever seen them in!

I always thought it was ironic that Dixie was bumped off a day before the one year anniversary of Josh's ressurection.

Kylie do you have any Tad/Dixie moments you would like to share as your favorites?

Hmmmm, a favorite T&D moment...I liked them all before David and Dixie. I think one of my favorite moments, and probably because it was the first time that I saw them (that I can remember anyway)...was after the Holiday's explosion. After all the smoke and people were gone and Tad was just sitting amongst the rumble. And then all of the sudden they panned to the doorway, and there's Dixie. Who walks over to Tad, and without a word he laid his head on against her stomach. I understood the T&D lure at that moment. :wub:

Now that was a good moment! McTavish did not do a whole lot of things right in 1998 but she did well with the Tad/Dixie story

I can't think of anything not already listed, but my favorite moments include:

The "Tad Test" when Dixie finally realized she loved him.

Tad proposing in the chicken suit.

All the weddings.

Tad rescuing Dixie from Laurel Hill.

Tad seeing Dixie after the explosion.

Dixie slapping Tad for cheating on her.

Dixie telling Tad she's pregnant with Bess.

Ha! I thought of you when he showed up.
It only took him 7 months to run out of money. He and Jacinda really need a class on budgeting blackmail gains.
Yeah, I get your point. It's a shame both these stories are happening at the same time. It makes Lulu look like a weird helicopter mom that won't let her kids do anything even if she has valid reasons. The show has written Lulu poorly and tried to make her the heavy in almost every situation since her return so it's not surprising.

True, I remember in the beginning that Bea had a much harder edge (and was shown sucking back beers with Floyd). You could understand a little bit why Nola was embarrased by her origins. Later, it was more like she was unreasonable in her disdain for her family. It is a shame they lost their edge.

It's kind of throughout the entirety when he talks about manliness (and comparing himself to that of Bill Cosby), etc., and how he tried portraying Ted's love for his wife, and how manliness is what needed to be shown. It was multiple comments kind of equalling why he left the role. The 'host' of that 'interview' kept jumping from one point to another point. It was all over the place.

He never discusses exiting BTG. He talks about how BTG opened doors for his career but nothing about his exit at all. And the interviewer doesn't ask at all.

The issue is his description of his self-described "manliness", and how he thought women viewers respond to that ... but all of that is alongside the homophobia he expresses.

Some text-based soap websites have typed up and posted their summaries of this interview, in which they state that he says he'd never portray a gay character because his portrayal wouldn't be believable to the viewers, and that it would be better if gay actors got such roles. People hurriedly reading those unclear summaries might buy that as a support of gay actors and representation. But it's not that at all!
If you watch the video, there's more * emotion * in how he says that, making it obvious that he's homophobic.

Is there a time stamp for when he talks about exiting BTG? I skimmed but couldn't find it.

Marland would totally fit into that because his main strengths was complicate and complex plotlines with characters sometimes taking a backseat (His Guiding Light was worlds different in subtle ways to his predecessors the Dobon's (husband and wife team).
Bill Bell on Y & R also was very much into plot with character sometimes taking a backseat... and also he had a trusted co-head writer by the name of Kay Alden that did flesh out the characters (i.e Victor Newman, Jack Abbott, etc).
Brad Bell has no business being a writer... but he's actually in the plot realm and not the character realm.

Perfect example was the Doug/Vanessa/Joey story that had both of them slowly becoming ensnared in Joey's web with Joey using their addictions (gambling for Doug and Sex for Vanessa) to his advantage. Doug's 'death' with his son coming to investigate were the last episodes of Guza's stint and all of a sudden the son was sent back to school and Vanessa is now becoming pathetic without the cunning glint in her eyes that we saw in the first 150 episodes or so).
The Hayley bombshell was a great way swan song for Guza's stint. but the aftereffects have been a bit lackluster with Hayley since episode 151 with her making such careless mistakes (no way would she be eyeing Jacob's brother in plain sight, nor talking to Randy in public, nor being overly insistent on Bill drinking a special tea, etc)... and now this random chick that came out of nowhere.

I never really thought of the similarity. You're right, they are very similar early on.
Early Bobbie is also similar to what we know of Charlotte Bauer.
Beyond GL and GH being such different soaps, and the huge popularity of Luke, I think the biggest difference between the siblings is how quickly the show pivoted Nola away from a seedier world. Even after Bobbie was "redeemed" (which took much longer than Nola's redemption), her past was never truly gone.
Marland's choice to make the Reardons so nice outside of Nola also meant there was less backstory to mine compared to the Spencers. You had Ruby, who was kind, but also razor-sharp, a reminder of where they'd come from. Nola had Bea, who was the stock sweetie pie mother.
By 1982, Nola was moving away from most of the foundation of the character, and there wasn't very much left by the time Lisa Brown quit the show.
They could have brought some of that hard edge back in her second run, but it just never worked out, due to terrible, terrible writing from start to finish.

You’re welcome!
Hahaha Bell’s words on Kurt Costner has always explained everything I need to know. I’m sure Bell was very familiar with McCloskey’s previous work and in his head it might have worked, but between Bell’s admitted struggles and McCloskey being saddled with a lackluster terrible recast it was all DOA.
To this day I still believe TLW deserved that Emmy wayyyyy more than Stafford.

I had to laugh a bit when Amanda was rubbing perfume on her cleavage. I guess she wanted to smell nice in case Chris wanted to motorboat.
Mary Frann was also in the Tang ad with Florence Henderson. Polly Holiday (from Alice) was in the Mon in the Stove Top ad.

-- Ted gifted Shanice an electronic bird feeder? This guy has no game. None.
-- The hard right turn moving Leslie away from Ted and towards Marcel makes no sense to me. This just feels like another dropped storyline in a sea of dropped storylines. She was OBSESSED with Ted and now doesn't even mention him.
-- BTW, is Allison gone? Or will we return to her around May and hear some people say "Oh, these writers are so clever!"
-- Is Greg Vaughan going to recur the same way Cady McClain recurs? Because if that's the case, there was no sense signing him.
-- Still waiting for someone to explain Eva's complete outfit and jewelry change from one scene to the next.
-- It's sure looking like Bob Guza's departure is a big loss.
