Even into the 90s, Ernie Anderson was still doing the voiceovers for the local news here in the Cleveland market (where he was based before going out West). I remember once his unmistakable voice was heard on an episode of Sister, Sister as the twins were watching TV. "Stay tuned for South Central - it's Full House in the hood!" LOL

khan, you're right about Sammy Jo/Stacy. I stand corrected!!

After two years I'm finally watching season one. It's absolutely great, the only downside being Matthew. He has no chemistry with Krystle or Claudia and just plain doesn't fit in. I don't mind Lindsey. She's just as neurotic as Claudia and I love it! But Matthew and that oil rig nonsense is a waste of time. I simply don't care.

Steven and Fallon are at their best here in season one. I can't believe how much they destroyed them. Steven and Claudia's affair is intriguing. Its too bad her marriage to Matthew is boring because it's the only downside to the story.

Only other thing bothering me is Blake randomly raping Krystle and the two minute non apology he gave her unless I missed something?

A few years back on Dateline NBC, Ted was shown the Jump The Shark web site with his listing . You could tell he was hurt even though he put up a front.

I miss that web site so bad. Those message boards gave me hours upon hours of joy reading all the outrageous and nasty comments about shows and actors. One of the funniest and most active was the My Three Sons board where they trashed Dawn Lyn who played Dodie. Dawn got wind of it and she got into some serious brawls with other posters. The site owner highlighted Dawns comments in red to confirm that it really was her.......LOL

Just started Season 6. The so-called "Aftermath" is just as bad, if not worse, as I've been told. But, then again, nothing about DYNASTY is ever good past season 3, so....

The worst stuff is probably Blake being present for the death of the second of Steven's lovers, clearly disapproving, only to come on the next scene, having changed his mind and accepted Steven's 'values' for absolutely no reason whatsoever, Krystle managing to fend off a rape from Yuri by slapping him and looking at him sternly, Warnick (the obvious placeholder for Alexis) supposedly being so powerful but dishing out NO consequences to the completely insubordinate prisoners, Fallon managing to get Miles Colby to ask her out just be existing and, dear God, Krystle crying in her cell, literally saying out loud that she's waiting for Blake to save her.

Rita/Sammy Jo are bad but at least fun to watch, in a trainwreck sort of way. And a bit funny.

The only interesting part was Krystle discovering that Galen is indeed alive. You know, that showed the revolutionaries had half a brain or something. Although they're terribly polite. They talk about executing everyone but never do it and let people walk all over them lol And seeing Miles for the first time on screen. DAMN, that man is hot.

On the other hand, the whole episode was almost worth it when Warnick propositioned Dominique and offered her champagne, to which she replied: "I don't drink with assass-INS" laugh.png I mean, I nearly died. Best Dominique moment EVER.

Yes, the show had started to fall apart by the seasons 5 & 6. They introduce the Falmonts and it seems like they are written out quickly, except for Ted McGinley's character. Kevin Conroy who plays Bart Falmont has been known for the last 20 years or so as the voice of Batman. Conroy had previously been on Another World and Search For Tomorrow.

The fight between Bart & Steven in the gym is so camp. They fight and then collapse and look at each other all dreamy.......LOL

    • Leslie having the nerve to show up at the Dupree House was pure insanity. Bill being revealed to be more ruthless than anyone would have thought was a good development. I have to imagine that will change Dani's view of wanting him back. The whole reveal was well done and Trisha Mann-Grant owned those scenes. That was most definitely material for an Emmy submission reel.
    • I agree, all the Guys Tux were nice. I like how they differ from each other and all stylish in a way. Awe, same. Can not believe I actually have enjoying a current daytime soap. Rewatching these episodes over the weekend as a jump back into Ryan's Hope and Santa Barbara. Agreed! Exciting times.

       And it was pretty dope we didn't know that tidbit before the reveal.  
    • yes I thought of the Renee party... But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans. I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025. But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead. That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.
    • Well, good that they showed Vanessa though I wish she was there.   Lol. And here comes Naomi. AND an explanation from Jacob.

      She is diabolical! Remember in this scene she offered Martin a brownie which seemed so random? In this episode its revealed that when he was a kid, Ted used to bring him to a restaurant where the waitress would give him brownies....that waitress was Leslie. She was playing games and trying to jog his childhood memory
    • Yay!!!!!! And made it ON TIME, TOO!!!   And this is giving DAYS reveals circa late 90s already.
    • Bish what? I was not expecting that, I was for sure expecting him to go after Nicole (He still can). Looks like Leslie put her out! I love these new developments, Eva Dorian Lording her way into Fairmont Crest. My good sis better trap that doctor.
    • It should be in its synopsis on the DVR description of the show.
    • Well, in a way DAYS "Renee Dumonde DiMera Threw a Party & Invited Everyone & Then Told the Whole Town Off" if you see what I mean. She definitely pretended that she was throwing this shindig for a pleasant reason while she KNEW her real intent wasn't pleasant AT ALL. And, everyone in Salem was targeted by her in this way.  I mean it was supposedly a celebration of her engagement. But, that is not what happened! I think it checks off all your boxes. And, before today I would definitely have called it "singular". There was nothing like it. Now, there's something not only similar but possibly .... more far-reaching? I was just struck by a thought. When MVJ was tasked to write a catfight, she wrote the best catfight that has ever existed. I'm not sure but what if she's done it again?!!
