More than that, there really was a "Mary Jane Benson" whom Jack dated during his playboy days (but who he doesn't recall); but Shawn Garrett killed her and assumed her identity, post-gender reassignment surgery. So, Victor wouldn't have known that MJ wasn't really MJ, and that the real target of faux-MJ's anger was Paul (and by extension, Nikki)! He was only using MJ's connection to Jack to get back into town. But...wouldn't it be weird if Shawn-as-MJ actually fell for Jack, and vice-versa?

Yeah, but we're assuming Shawn is all woman now!

Ah, the plot thickens! Yes, I can totally see this happening. Victor played for a fool, Paul and Nikki in mortal danger, and Jack falling in love with a guy in a woman's body. MJ would definitely try to resist Jack's charms, but then Jack will grown his hair long again and do that hair swoooosh/wave he used to do, so MJ will not be able to resist any longer!

He would so be, bless him. What is more, I think that Jack could discover remaining hints of Shawn's genitalia after a few nights of passionate sex... Covering herself, MJ will lie that it's two different tumors and will have them completely removed by a fake doctor who will get paid to lie. Naturally, the doctor, Dr. Osumakimati (for diversity, you see) will then start blackmailing Mary Shawn and it will all lead to terrible murder and Jack going to prison for a crime he didn't committ... only to find himself as Victor's biatch, who is once again in jail because of a crime he didn't committ. Or did he?

Exactly! I think that should be a two-week beat in the story: MJ's fascination with Jack's perfectly coiffed, shampoo smelling hair. A whole new dynamic in their (already sick) relationship!

Of course we're friends! :)

I promise to never call you the 'C' word ever again! It's sad how many times I've had to promise people not to call them the 'C' word. The 'C' word is horrible and demeaning. Hehe...

Actually, the doctor's name is Kennedy, and he's played by Pat Harrington, Jr. (aka "Schneider", from One Day at a Time)

Oh, and as for Ashley's gaslighting? That's Gina Roma. [A] Nobody eats at her restaurant anymore, leaving her w/ too much free time; and She's sick and tired of Victor chasing every other skirt in town while she sits at home, alone.

I, for one, cannot wait for the sequence when she kidnaps Victor, locks him up in the wine cellar underneath his basement, and serenades him w/ "(The Theme from) The Rose" over and over again.

And the dude whom Paul and Nikki learn was the original prison doctor who performed the gender-reassignment surgery? Lyle Waggoner, from "The Carol Burnett Show".

Yes! Gina! How stupid of me not to realize! She has all the motive in the world!

This is the stuff Emmy wins are made off!

It's a whole world of interrelated characters out there and Paul learns that in the harshest way possible!

Naturally, Gina will soon realize that this torture of Victor is not enough, so she will get all Danny videos and songs and play them on a loop too. It will all end in Victor having sex fantasies with Danny.

    • I like that this episode highlighted the ramifications of what Eva and her rotten mama did. They were so focused on Ted and Nicole, not even realizing that other people would be affected. Eva thought nothing of what she did to Mona bc she was sure no on would hold anything against her but Mona is right in that they ruined her reputation with the Duprees. They dont blame her but they will likely never trust her judgement again. She has to walk by them feeling the guilt and shame that she'll never live down bc she unknowingly played a role in the hell that was unleashed. Not to mention the trauma and trust issues she no has bc she genuinely viewed Leslie as a friend   And poor Laura nearly died when she had that car accident and then had a heart attack and infection bc she was poisond. She's been recuperating for 3 months. She missed her trip to Hawaii and no idea what impact this has done on her relationship and her own plans but no on was thinking about that.   Eva and Leslie need to be made to feel like ish bc this was bigger than just Ted and Nicole
    • On May 12, 1989, the Dynasty series finale aired.

    • Understand your point.  But I usually see Reginald's mustache twirling villainy as ultra campy bordering on comedic (albeit unsuccessfully).  And upon Reginald's exit, most of the overt camp/comedy seemed to cease. And although I'm aware camp and comedy are not exactly the same thing, I tend to throw them together anyway -- especially when discussing soaps.  You are correct, Mary was not played for laughs.  When I used to term "let's play everything for laughs" I didn't mean literally everything or every character was comedic. But TPTB put so much effort into comedy, it did tend to eat the show for a few years (again not literally). I'm just expressing my perspective on the topic, and lots of folks probably disagree.  That's cool. People who like comedy on soaps tend to defend it, and folks who don't like comedy (or think it want too far) tend to criticize it.  Whichever side of the fence one is on, it sure didn't help the ratings on AW. 
    • Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...
    • You may be a casual watcher, but you got SO much right.
    • I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.
