Was the minister on Another World? He looked very familiar

Why the heck were the freshman allowed to go to the prom? Thats something for the seniors. This was like any regular dance. And they had the prom at the school. Most HSs rent out a place

Brody just happened to have his navy uniform at work? Um okay

That navy uniform means Brody needs to start stripping. Then again, he strips every day as it is.

The minister was David Forstyh, ex-John Hudson, AW. I think back during JFP's reign of terror at OLTL, he claimed she offered him a job, but he turned it down, because he was so tired of hearing rumors about how close they were.

Why are people complaining about Brody's uniform? I don't care whether it made sense for him to have it work; I'm glad he had it! He can be an officer and a gentleman with me any day!

(Oh, God. Did I just say that?)

My school upgraded them downgraded. We had our prom and homecoming at the civic center my sophomore and junior years, but they decided to have it in the gym for my senior year. Ugh. It wasn't that bad, though...they utilized the space real well, and we also used the hallways adjacent to the gym for stuff too, so it worked. That thing that was on OLTL today was a hot mess.

It was no worse than Starr finding that prom dress, getting dressed, and fixing her hair and make-up in less than 5 minutes to go to the prom. Even funnier, they went to the prom when 'her' baby's body is supposed to be exhumed later the same evening. :lol:

But come on.....since when are exhumations scheduled for at night?

Nope.....Natalie said they should tell Bo that it should wait a few days for everyone to think it over some more.

Bo got a call from a judge while at Jared's bachelor party, and then told Michael that the judge said it could be done tonight.

I'm glad to see Powell back but is anyone uncomfortable with how it's handled? Carlivati has said he wants to remind viewers the rape wasn't all Todd but was these other characters. We get it. But Powell is always this sacrifical lamb of sorts--initially we had him be the one who was fully peer pressured by Todd into participating in the rape and the only oen to show full remorse. Yes he was still guilty but it made the whole issue more multifaceted not to just have the "bad guys" invovled in the gang rape but to show other sides.

Then they started to build up his character and then in one of my least fave stories of the era we had that STUPID serial rapist storyline (which felt very exploitive) and it turned out Powell was the rapist--this was all done to redeem Todd way back when of course as he discovered it.

Anyway I felt that ws an awful end to a character with potential and sent a weird mixed message that no one who did a crime could ever truly feel remorse. But whatever. Now he's back and he's some serial killing MASTERMIND. First of all apparantly none of his family EVR has visited him. Even Vicki, Vicki who forgives Todd for *everything* never once visited or worried about her family member Powell? Seems out of chraracter to me. And I dunno... nothing adds up for me. I like seeing him again but that's about it.

    • 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!
