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.

    • 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.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
