I have started to watch CAPITOL from the pilot and Clarissa says in episode 28, that she has 4 children ( Tyler, Thomas, Wally and Gillian)...Some episodes later, I know that another McCandless son, Matt, will appear in the soap. I guess that the writers decided to add a new McCandless son to the story for creating new plots....It is very funny to see how a writer can change the story......

@Golden - The original Capitol bible (written in 1980) referenced six McCandless children -- Tyler, Thomas, Wally, Lee (who became Matt), Karen, and Gillian. Karen and Gillian were twins and the daughters of Baxter's late brother. I remember Karen being mentioned early in the show's run.

Yes!!! In the capitol webpage I have just found the C bible.... I am going to read it just now...Something similar happened to "Santa Barbara" with the Andrade family in 1984. At the beginning, there were 4 Andrade children: Olivia, Gabriella, Santana and Danny. In the episode 13, Rosa Andrade names her two other daughters...but they were unseen in the series

I don't know if it was referenced on air, but Lydia Hirsch once mentioned Karen and Gillian were cousins of the McCandless brood in her Q & A section. Someone had asked about one of the missing McCandless kids (maybe Thomas, who was briefly written out during the headwriter roundelay in the first year or two). Hirsch contacted TPTB and they mentioned Karen was a correspondent working overseas if I remember correctly.

Gotta love that John "Money is for Spending" Conboy. The '80s were made for a guy like him.

I seem to remember reading in that TWOP soap gossip thread that Billy and Kin shared a passion for something else.

I was surprised Donna Mills was there - I knew she was at that tribute thing to him in 1982 but thought that may have just been a courtesy. It's too bad he never got her on GL...

      Anyway... Kristen should have a prison lesbian story arc. And then come out and become obsessed with Marlena so we can move her on from the Brady nonsense. Is that secret room still in the DiMera mansion?

      I'm really liking Izaiah and Eva so far. And why can't I help but feel that something might happen to make Jessica stay in Fairmont Crest permanently?

      So Pam didn't create her? I thought she had the whole of 87-88. I'll look around, thanks for the point in the right direction.

      date: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Samantha, accept the fact you were in the wrong and do not deserve your digital devices. Do not like it? Go upstairs. Read a book. Do some knitting. Bradley and Martin's "we get it" to Tyrell was hilarious and absolutely a parent's thing to do. Loving a bit of history of both the Duprees (via Eva) and the Hawthrones (via Izaiah). So cute. Poor June. I am sure she did not purposefully mean to mess up; we have all been there working in customer service. Shake it off and keep on keeping on! Not twice a week for Vernon's cobbler order... Sharon must be using that as payment for their meetings. I appreciate that Ted still cares about the Duprees despite the end of his marriage to Nicole. Not Dana using Peaches' crisis as a way of taking Ted's attention away from a co-worker. Girl, do not be so obvious. Bradley is a man after my own heart with a simply divine chocolate milkshake. That is the way to go. Dana really needs to dial it back. Money will not buy her everything she wants and she will realise it soon enough. And I doubt Shanice is scared off by her idle threats, either. "With all due respect, Ms Thomas, this isn't a shopping mall." Oh, Dr Wilkes just owned Dana's arrogant ass. I love it. Wigs and personas? Okay now, Shanice ate with that read. I like that June assured Bradley that she will not replace him or Martin in the twins' lives. And that blood does not make a parent. Words never rang more true. Jessica reading Samantha was amazing. Dana would want to involve Ted. Her obsession is crossing beyond dangerous boundaries. Not Dana catching Vernon leaving Sharon's room at the country club. That is not good. Not good at all! Notes: Ugh. Not another breakdown from writer2. This week was going so well. Thankfully, Paige is an outstanding scriptwriter (one of this soap's best), and her words today are excellent. The food at Orphey Gene's does look bomb, so I do not blame any of the characters for uptalking it. I would eat there daily if I could. And gain hundreds of pounds, too. David Lami Friebe (Izaiah) continues to make me sick watching him, but he is nice to listen to. I still really like having June as the central person hub at Orphey Gene's. That familiar face you see when you walk in and have scenes. Dana wanting a second opinion means we could have an incoming doctor, right...?

      I am sure "no one cares" and it's not a big deal to some people, but this thread is full of certain posters calling out women's ages, their viability to have children at like 35, and their nail polish, but we celebrate everything Chandler Massey does and applaud any male shirtless scenes.  And then posters walk back being like it's just a joke and weren't serious lol.

      I'm so glad she's still on the show. Seems like she may have dropped a hint about the real source of conflict between her and Dee, too.
