IIRC, Jason was there for Robin Strasser's return, and for her breast cancer storyline, too. In fact, I think he was the one who discovered the lump in her breast during sex, but I might be wrong.

Should OLTL bring back Jason? Sure! Any excuse to bring back Wanda Wolek would be fine w/ me. :-)

Robin's Dorian did work with Jason when she first came back to the show. They had decent chemistry if I remember correctly, but Malone and Griffith didn't know how to write for Robin' Dorian at first. Their version of her came across as weak and needy so the story didn't work for me. It wasn't until a year or so in to her return that they hit their stride with Dorian by telling the "Lord of the Banner" story which led to Dorian standing trial and being convicted for Victor's murder, David coming to town and producing fake evidence to get her out and then posing as the lost Lord heir which was Todd. Dorian then seduced Joey to get back at Vicki but ended up falling for Joe. When Vicki found out the truth ES and RB shared what I consider their best work together in Vicki's DID story. I would rather see a Joe/Dorian redo than a Dorian /Jason redo. With her relationship with Clint and their shared animosity under her belt and her history with Vicki, that would be a much more entertaining story IMO. Imagine if they were to marry. Vicki would be Dorian’s mother-in-law. How funny would that be?

I've always wanted them to try Joey/Dorian again, but none of the actors who have played Joey since NF have been able to have the maturity needed to be with Dorian.

I can imagine Frons would also freak out at an older woman/younger man pairing, unless it's some "Cougar" nightmare with a heavily Botoxed 35 year old having her way with a 19 year old who looks 30.

Talia's dead and nobody seemed to be too torn up about it. I FF'ed all the GiReStaSchuy crap.

Of special note: WHOA at Charlie getting all passive aggressive with Viki! Didn't see that coming at all. I am glad they worked out the issue but Viki seemed kind of turned off after he got uptight with her. I've never seen that side of Charlie before! It was upsetting, LOL.

And you're likely to see it again, I think. Because, either Charlie's hitting the sauce again, or they're looking to do a emotional/verbal abuse PSA w/ Viki, w/ a big, splashy whodunit for November sweeps.

DearGodinHeaven,

Please do not let Rachel fall in love with her client Cole.

Thank you, amen.

Love, SFK

Did anyone think it was a little strange the way Dorian said, "What would make anyone want to kill that very attractive police officer"?? Was that like a Valentine to BAB? And the issue of Talia's looks aside, since when do pretty people not get murdered?

Yes, that's exactly what happened, he felt the lump when they were in bed and Dr.(!) Dorian was in major denial and refused to see a physician at first. I agree with oltl's assessment of Robin's return, it wasn't super strong at first and she really hit her stride with the Lord of The Banner/murder trial/David and Irene's diary/DID stuff. I think RS kinda resented that she'd suggested Dorian getting involved with a younger guy a la Cher and boytoy on the back of a Harley during the end of her first run only to see them go ahead with such a s/l with EP. RS really got the tail end of the Jason fling.

    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • 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!
