If she still has her license maybe they can bring her back. The current Llanview climate is much more open-minded, just look at how much Todd gets away with.

How about a story where she works at the hospital again and finds Larry Wolek, now a patient, being neglected and his medication tampered with, and she tries to find out why? This could put her into conflict with Viki, before they work together to find out the cause.

oltl1, I think Powell is back for

Thanks for the info CarlD2.

I also love your idea for Dorian and Vicki. And who knows, maybe they could find Brooke English there as well. Dorian could nurse them back to health and get her position back as Chief of Staff. This would upset Vicki because she would want Larry to get his old job back causing great friction between the 2. Vicki could then let Brooke run The Banner for her while she plans her wedding to Charlie. Kevin, Kelly and Joey would come home for the big event. Kevin would go to the Banner to see how things are running and he would become jealous that Brooke is doing wonders with the Banner and decides to stay in Llanview to "help Vicki with the paper in these rough economic times". Brooke could do a piece on the Llanview police department which would put her in Bo and Nora’s orbit. Brooke and Nora would become fast friends and they could stand up for Vicki at her wedding. Soon, Brooke would start to have feelings for Bo and ... Wow, sorry, I guess this is what invested fans do when there show hits the skids and has nothing to watch or anything good to talk about anymore.

I love all things Langston and Markko, but Markko at the pharmacy at the old lady was so lame and predictable. It would have been much, much better if the woman actually was talking about condoms.

[shameless]Jason Tam is so motherfucking erotic to look at.[/shameless]

I think I've warmed up to Jack. He comes off as over-the-top and divaish, and that's usually bad, but idk...it's an endearing characteristic that I hope they realize and keep.

Go head Langston, beat her ass!

Jack is a diva, but I love him. I think he and Shane are both good kid actors, despite some bumps in the road here and there. He's so spontaneous with the rest of the Cramers-Mannings. Most of the soap kids that age would freeze up if asked to improv. He doesn't choke.

I'll never believe Jason "Every Little Step" Tam is straight, but I do love him (and love looking at him). Pointless role or not.

Just finished today’s episode and I have only one thing to say. If OLTL wrote their adult characters as intelligently as they wrote Jack this show would be great again. McPain has been on the case for months and this kid put the pieces together all within an hour. Go figure.

Loved Dorian/Langston and their sex talk today. It was written very well. Scenes like today proved that their pairing is one of the best things Carlivati's created.

The kid playing Jack continues to shine. He was really good when he was yelling for Sam. You could feel his intensity.

    • Cat herself will be a stumbling block all her own as she vowed to Chad to stay away from him, thus redeeming her of her crime morally. Classic DAYS would have them gazing longingly at each other at Doug's Place or Blondie's, while Liz is serenading the room with a song aptly chosen to represent their feelings of emotional turmoil.
    • From what I just recently watched, they were setting her up to go into future stories. She was Emmy nomination worthy in the material I saw. If some viewers did not like her, the character could have been rehabilitated after that sick storyline. It feels like they destroyed a character for fun and then tossed her to the curb. Spencer had chemistry with everyone. I'm just retroactively angry on Spencer's behalf.  You're right about how Cheryl was often forgotten and pushed aside and I would take Cheryl over Josie. I think soaps need characters like Cheryl. Characters like Josie are way too common. Josie always got on my nerves.
    • CBS was back in third place in 1994/95. That was the season CBS lost NFL broadcasting rights which also cost them several established affiliates in major media markets. 1995 CBS was sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox, but it was an epic failure and CBS was once again in third place.
    • I tend to think that Chad will actually listen to Jen (this time). And that will be the next stumbling block in their relationship, which will open the possibilities for Cat to seek another member of their love triangle... To iterate my earlier thought, I am also not a fan of the person Melissa Reeves, but the character of Jennifer looks so chic this week, especially in comparison to Hope (and Gabi).  That blunt haircut is a winner.   
    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. Their connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters. All this talk of Jennifer being in the wrong regarding Cat is absurd. Jennifer is not being villainized in any way, shape, or form, she's just being allowed to actually be human, which adds odds to the obstacle of Chad and Cat eventually getting together. All inner conflict. Keep it coming!
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
