I've always felt Savage's Gwyn stronger and less tourtured than Tudor...

so not too believable as a desperate serial killer

Savage was more like the long-suffering but plucky heroine of '40s movies, while Tudor was more like the anguished noir lady of '50s films.

I can't see Savage playing those later stories. It's tough sometimes to even remember she was meant to be a mother. 

A few questions:

- who would you all have paired Gwyn with if you'd had the chance (someone she was not already paired with)?

- if Gwyn had not been the killer, what would you have done with her? Killed her? Sent her to The City? Or something else entirely?

Alex. The confrontations with Ava practically write themselves.

I'd move her to New York, but not necessarily for the sake of appearing on The City. Abril's died, and Gwyn gets one last link to Clay by becoming Tommy's guardian.

All great ideas. 

Alex/Gwyn would also be interesting due to the Clay factor.

Thank you. (I actually had to remind myself that Alex and Gwyn weren't a couple while he was posing as Clay.)

Alex and Gwyneth,

Jim and Gwyneth

Jim/Gwyn would have been a very interesting pairing. He was so strait-laced. There is also the whole corrupting a priest angle. Fights with Shana. And wasn't her father a minister?

Yes, he was (but I don't know if the show has exsplored their relationship father/daughter ). Plus Father Jim was really handsome !

Thanks @TheyStartedOnSoaps this looks oddly evil. Lloyd Bridges will rule over us all.

Thanks @NothinButAttitude never saw that special. Sydney should have tried an ASMR career.

A promo that was new to me (they got the date wrong - I think it's 1989).

Aside from the hair, and Richard Steinmetz looking hot, the highlight was the Clay-Stacey interaction. It's interesting to watch in light of what's playing out between those two in @Kane's recaps.

That AMC opening (shown at the beginning of the video) still feels like home to me.
