me too, but man that had to be one of the most bizarre turn in soap history that a character ever took. She was so sweet and nice in the beginning. Who would have thought, she'd end up the way she was. Didnt they make her Alistair's daughter and Sheridan's half sister? Who was her mother?

Yes Beth is Alistar's daughter, her mother told her before she almost slept with him. Her mother was Edna Wallace who took interesting turn as well. She ended up as a lesbian married to crazy Norma after years as a prostitute(who let her john's molest her daughter if I'm remember that part correctly)

Surely Gwen had her fans, but If what you say is true, how come you think most fans rooted for Theresa? Not to answer my own question, but could it be the way Lindsey portrayed the character? Even with the writing, most of what Theresa did throughout the series was well intentioned.

On a different note, JER's passing happend literally months after Passions ended. Who do you think could have continued writing the show had it continued as head writer, or who would you have preferred?

I personally think Ron C. would have been a good choice to write the show with his comedic style of storytelling.

My issue with Simone # 2 was that the actress didn't seem to understand the character at all. I really don't mean to be offensive here, but the Russells appeared to be the only black family in the lily white town of Harmony, New England, and here comes Simone #2 with a more 'urban flavor'. She seemed out of place in her own family.

This isnt the hospital but she slaps her in the house. So she slapped her more than once? Good for her! Grace was a disgrace as a mother.

God I hated Grace. She acted like she hated Kay, her own daughter. I lovd when Kay teamed up with Ivy to break up her marriage. I only hated that Grace never found out what Kay did. I wanted Kay to revel in the pain she caused her

Deanna looked nothing like the previous 2 actresses that played the role but I didnt notice till now that she resembled Grace more than any of them. I think it might be the hair color

Just noticed this.... I loved that line "bastard is the correct word for me just like BITCH is the right word for you".

I remember when Kay fainted at Charity and Miguel's wedding and Teresa thought to herself "hmmm I should have thought of that" :lol:

Yeah and Grace got on my f-cking nerves and dont even get me started on Charity! I was always Team Kay...lol

I didnt read soap news back then so you cant even imagine how pissed I was when Deanna Wright left and the new Kay came on.

Grace was so annoying. I did feel kind of robbed in the beginning when Faith was killed by Tabitha. I did want them to meet. The anticipation and build-up was great. I miss that Reilly. The painfully slow, methodical storytelling where EVERY detail is exhausted before you get a fantastic payoff.

I liked Charity somewhat but I was always Team Kay. I also feel like the constant recasting of core characters with hair models did the show NO favor in the end, poor writing or not. I lost a lot of interest in Ethan, Chad, Miguel with their constant recasts and re-writing. I thought Martsolf was overrated as Ethan. I think he's much better as Brady on DAYS. I feel like the men were almost always an afterthought to Reilly, except for the chosen few (Luis, Julian), which is why we got such shitty recasts.

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
