Erica didn't find out until after she and Travis were divorced the second time and after she and Jack were going to be married. That's when Adam told her the truth. So technically both marriages to Travis were invalid. That's how I remember it :D

LMAO! I realized the same thing myself as I was typing out that word. I was like, "illegitimate...? People actually cared about that crap to that degree in 1991?"

I was 12 years old... so a lot of my peers were born to parents out of wedlock. It was the 1970's for God's sake. The decade of free love.

Well, they do in Genoa City, but that's for another thread.

I love the bantering between Adam and Erica, I really do. But I pray to God Pratt does not plan to hook them up again. Twice was enough, thank you. If Erica needs a new love interest, then hook her up w/ someone who'd be her complete opposite. A real beer-and-bratwurst kinda guy, if you know what I mean.

Yep and that's what Adam used to blackmail Erica into marrying that last time. He said he'd go to the press and announce Binks was a bastard and Erica couldn't handle that.

I feel the same way. What makes them work and makes them fun is that they are not in love and never were. I know it's unpopular on this particular board but I still love her with Jackson (ducking) though I do feel they need to write for him/them much better than that last jamokes did.

Back then the writers would keep a secret dragging out for years. It took Phoebe at least 5 years to learn her husband Langley was a con man named Lenny. I'm sure Wisner Washam and Agnes Nixon were waiting for the right opportunity for Erica to find out her marriages to Travis were invalid before "the writer" came in and revealed it.

I forgot that Opal doesn't know about that yet but I thought it was Palmer who paid him off.

Ok I haven't written much lately - I'm finally catching up - and I must say that the show is back on track! I'm really enjoying the custody hearing and all the Adam/Krystal/David/JR stuff.

And Erica is BACK. Been loving her.

The only drawback is Zach/Kendall/Ryan....but its now down our throats right now. And I loved Erica telling Kendall off.

Bobbie Eakes and Vincent Irizarry have been on fire!

I can't wait to watch Friday's!

I am glad you are back to enjoying the show :) I know you had been frustrated. I feel that "fog" that was hanging over the writing beginning in January, has finally lifted. I think the show is actually very exciting right now and back to what it was like in the fall....

If Pratt could just not talk to the press :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.
