But they could explore so many options with Adam trying to be good or at least act good without being written into a corner. I wish they would make him a suspect and somehow drag this storyline or have another one finish just in time for Adam's sentence to end.

But "medication has my epilepsy under control" counts as a 6 month story about epilepsy? When I think of an illness storyline, I think about the illness and how long it plays an integral role in the character's life, epilepsy was used as a bad plot point in this poorly conceived Jack/Victor story. This story wasn't about epilepsy.

I don't want this story dragged out...but I do want to see Adam have that internal war. DO NOT PAINT HIM INTO A CORNER!

Yes, he Xeroxed his face! Priceless!

I guess I shouldn't talk about LOVING the start of the Reliquary story???

Again, you're right....but there was still greatness in there...and I think they should "rescue" that story by doing it the way you mention.

Same with Devon's hearing loss. I have said before, I wear a hearing aid. I know how hearing affects every day...from the way I stand, to the way I react to my comfort in certain social situations. I'd love to see Devon play those beats. He still has that piece of crap on his head...so it is not too late to play it.

I wonder if we'll ever see Colleen celebrate Jewish holidays again??

I know, but if this storyline ends and he isn't the culprit, they'll still have to come up with something until his sentence is done.

Ummm... no. :lol:

There's really no need to see that.

What if Adam saves lives at the end of this...maybe at risk to his own?

Like, what if it IS Victor...or it is Walter Palin's mob (silly idea...but I'm reaching). And what if blind Adam saves the day, and get shot and almost dies in the process.

Then, I could see someone arguing 'he has proven he is decent...he has suffered enough...', and then we'll be past this blasted imprisonment storyline.

Alternatively, if they could just PIN THIS CRIME on Jack, that ought to help get Adam off.

When we talk about 'throwing Jack under the bus' (with the epilepsy story)...what about with the 'diary' story? I'd say that was far worse!

"sacred artifact" ?

I don't believe that Adam being the gaslighter paints him into a corner necessarily.

I don't think we're supposed to feel sorry for Chloe, but for some reason I do. I think we're supposed to be rooting for Billy and Mac to get together, but I'm really just rooting for Chloe to move on to someone else. I still think she needs to lose Billy. I think losing the one thing she loves and wants most in a way will be her paying for some of her actions.

I don't think she loves Billy. I think she "digs" Billy, and he is her "ticket". I don't think she is really emotionally involved.

I like to watch Chloe, but I feel nothing for her. She needs some bad things...to really suffer...and then she can become a person of character.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • 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!
