It was set at the local University and involved the lives of the wealthy Alden/Forbes clan that ran it. The Slaters were a professor/ Dean, his abused drunk wife and his sexually abused daughter. The Donovans were middle class...Doug, a teacher, Mike, a cop, and Stacey, a college student. The Vocheks were a religious family, Father Jim and his sisters, Merrill the television reporter, and Noreen, Mike's wife, a nurse, also middle class. Then there was Coach Bristow and his cheating wife.  The original stories were to revolve around the college and it's scandals...

He was, yes. His jokes were getting a bit off-color for daytime TV at one point...

 

It was interesting that the Loving question they got was about when Lisa Peluso would be back. It reminded me of when someone here said that during Lisa's break they got so many calls and letters they had to start announcing that she would be back.

He can get all off-color if he wants too. He is so SEXY! It is criminal that he isn't acting today! I have to add that Walt Willey was looking pretty handsome too! Sucks that no other soap has offered him a role either. I miss his face on daytime. 

 

I am not surprised that fans were worried about Lisa Peluso returning as she was a successful recast. From what I've seen, I enjoy both her and Roya's interpretation of Ava. I didn't know that Kate had cancer though. I hope someone post clips of that story. It seems like a very touching story. 

 

Speaking Loving, another end credits clip has been posted:

And sitting with his legs wide open, like he knows it...

 

I've heard it was good, as was her husband Louie's cancer story a few years later. I wish we could see it. I remember an article when the show was ending and they interviewed various cast members and she joked that everything was life-affirming for Kate - even cancer.

Thanks. First time I've seen Larkin as Clay. He was very good. They disowned Clay so many times yet it still has an impact. And I was surprised they still remembered Rick by this point. 

 

The woman who plays Carly seemed to be a very good actress. 

 

I don't know that guy with Louie.

Thanks. I was so glad they uploaded a full episode and seem to have more.

 

The show had such a good younger set at this time. It's always hard to reconcile Amelia Heinle in these years to the living corpse of the last 15 or so years. 

 

PAS was just adorable.

 

It's tough to watch Buck thinking about marrying Stacey, not Gwyn, when Gwyn would go on to kill her...

 

Can you believe those sets? Better than anything on a soap now.

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab the episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). The full HD version of ep.3170 is on YouTube channel:

    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....
