Yep, pretty much sounds like. The actual write-up is more about Casey's reaction to the situation (his not-favorite son status with Margo). A pal of Adam's, Riley, comes to town and Margo's all on that.

One, it sucks he's nothing more than fodder in the Nuke vortex of suckage. I didn't watch OLTL, but I know he's hot. Two, I know Adam's supposed to be dead, but on ATWT, that usually means a "surprise return" is on the horizon. Three, Casey's the only one left in town who knows Adam's an attempted rapist. Will, Gwen and Maddie all left. Casey's kept quiet to not completely shatter Margo's idea of her oldest son. The only reason Casey ended up in the slammer is because Adam planted a bond Casey stole at Will's, because Adam wanted Gwennie for himself. The other charges Casey faced in the robbery were dismissed/dropped, but the judge brought the hammer down on him for framing Will for the theft. I'm okay with TIIC finally dealing with that, so maybe Margo's sphincter doesn't go off every time Casey gets in some slight bone-headed trouble....but I think it would carry more impact if they'd dealt with while Adam was alive. Although, I kind of still think he'll pop up...it would be too sad if two of Hal's kids had died.

I wonder if anyone will bother telling Parker his half-brother's dead. Oy vey...I can start shaking my head now, knowing how a pretty decent umbrella story idea is going to be eviserated by the craptasticness of Pissy's writing.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
