I kinda zoned out when Erica was giving out advice becase how she let Bianca skate on the whole having a baby with her sister's husband without telling Kendall. I guess I'll be waiting on doomsday for Bianca ever to get reamed by mommie dearest for that one.

Having ten marriages either makes her an expert or a moron for giving love advice.

Ten? Surely, Erica's been married more than that. Let's see: Erica Kane 1)Martin 2)Brent 3)Cudahy 4)Chandler 5)Roy 6)Roy 7)Montgomery 8)Montgomery 9)Chandler 10)Marick 11)Marick 12)Montgomery. That's twelve.

Oops, forgot about the one after rehab to Larry Fortenski. As usual. :rolleyes:

UPDATE: Silly me forgot that, once upon a time, Adam sent Stuart in his place for the divorce (why, only the Lord knows), thus rendering marriages no. 5 through 8 invalid. So, legally speaking, Erica's been down the aisle only eight times. And if you give me a minute, I'll figure out how the rest, save for the one to Jeff Martin, were invalid, too.

As much as I would love to blame "the writer", this was not rewritten history: Adam did send Stuart to divorce Erica circa 1984. We saw him tell Stuart it would be a game and poor Stuart had no clue that is was illegal. That happened long before "the writer" joined AMC.

I've been having internet connection problems this week so this is my first post. I've been loving AMC lately.

Bobbie Eakes has been really rocking! I also loved Erica with Adam in this episode and with Ryan earlier in the week. It's nice to see her comedic side being so well utilized. The Erica/Kendall scenes worked well for me because Erica was coming from a place of concern for her daughter rather than pimping Zzzzendull.

Of course, darling. This is indeed the land of Good Guys can murder, steal, frame, tamper with evidence in muder trials and get away with it and never expect to be punished.

David, however, accidentally drops a flask of horny juice into a punch bowl a decade ago, and people never forget it.

Then I stand corrected...

...I just find it odd the show would go on, letting both Adam and Erica have several different love interests for years, and then "Hey! Wait! Remember this?!"

I mean, I know it's prone to happen... I'm still waiting for Opal to find out Erica paid off Tom Wopat to leave town seven years ago.

Yeah, this is a rare, RARE case where a soap had some foresight!

I actually thought they were going to do this with the Bianca stolen baby storyline and have Miranda be Babe's daughter for the next 10 years and then have the big reveal. But no, it doesn't work that way. :lol:

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
