If you love them I bet you have the first CD. Have you read the credits? "All lead AND backing vocals performed by Nicole". It admits it right there :D I dunno I have little sympathy for the girls mad she gets all the spotlight

It makes NO sense. And the Cochran mention just made me laugh--NEXT time we have another pointless story trying to redeem Todd for being a rapist will someone mention this story in the same way?

Agreed completely

ME TOO but I think the last 3 years of the Rauch era SUCKED. S. Michael Schnessel as headwriter was completely incapable (I did liek Peggy O'Shea's work I wonder if she left on her own)... Margaret DePriest who had recently bene hired to help fix up AMC after slipping ratings in the late 80s was then hired to One Life and didn't she do the awful rap story, etc?

But it was not boring. That's the thing. Yes, it was over-the-top and silly; I knew that even as a kid, lol! But it was never boring. Which is a lot more than I could say for OL these days. A lot more. ;)

I thought so too....but I could be wrong.

I also thought it was Howarth's leg and foot that was shown on top of Marty's. Blue jeans and solid white tennis shoes. I can't remember from the original KAD storyline if it was Todd or one of the others that was dressed like that though.

I figured Lola killed her mother. I just didnt picture her framing Ray for it

The dorm scenes with Todd's 3 women has me on the edge of my seat. That stuff is good. I was shocked to see Tea shot but I kinda saw it coming. I really wish they hadnt have dragged Rebecca into this bc her part is unncesary. She really got Jack to go to sleep? Puh leaze. The boy would have found some way to run away or call 911 the minute she let her guard down

I think it was RC's plan all along to have Lola be the killer, but I remember people protesting so much months before the storyline was to play out. Was the Vanessa story poorly plotted? Yes indeed. However I don't think RC intended to keep Vanessa on very long, or let the Montez family become a new core family, like Malone triedto do with the Santi's.

    • 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!
