I wish they could bring Betsy back for a while and have a story where she feels closer to Alison than to her own daughter, who seems to have become some sicko who calls Craig "daddy" and has sex with him, apparently turned on by him actually being known as her biological father at one point.

There are things I don't mind about Lib's story. At least for once, a woman (even a teen) is allowed to NOT want a child in her life. I used to groan when Gwennie prattled on about her baby obsession after losing Billy/Rory/Johnny. The girl was barely twenty and OBSESSED with having a child right that minute.

At least it's dealing with the family dynamic between her and Janet in an honest way. Janet's been an overbearing, micro-managing TWIT when it came to her daughter's life (except curiously, when she let her "precious LibbyLou" go off and meet her father, a man Janet hadn't seen in years and had no real reason to think would welcome a teen into his life). And just as she's pretty much always done, Libby's stuck trying to placate her mother (and/or "fix" her mother's life). So it's nice to see Libby finally growing up and standing up for herself to Janet, her wreck of a mother.

SKEEVED out by Craig and Rosanna. As happy as I am with the thought of Craig out of Carly's life, I'm incensed that Rosanna's letting him back into her's. And her betraying Carly. I don't GAS if Carly's no longer interested (and I don't think she ever truly was), for YEARS Rosanna had issues with Carly for sleeping with Mike during their on/off relationship. And now she does this...with Carly's fiancee?

I floved the Hal mentions---even if I'm completely bored with Audrey "stirring the pot" and whoring her son out to get the money. Audrey is like nails on a blackboard, and I wish they'd ship her skanky ass outta town.

    • What AW stories do you think of as DOOLish? I mean AW, in a very positive way was KNOWN for its comedic elements. From Iris's maid, Vivian, to the naming of plants, to highjinks with Cass, Felicia, Wally & even Lily, plus remember Dee Evans & Tony the Tuna? In a way at one time DAYS had similar with Caliope & Eugene. 
    • Were those reasons to do with having younger children on set? Other shows seem to manage. The ageing up of the kids has been one of the mistakes the show has made.
    • I agree.  Lemay was supposed to start in early 88 and we saw some of the writing on the wall with character reference from the past.  Notably, the core families Frames, Cory, Matthews.  The stupid Reginald Love was wrapped up.  Not even a year later Mary was written out of the show along with Vince and the McKinnons who came and left .  The previous writers tried to introduce a new family that never aspired with the viewers.  1988 was focused on the 25th anniversary of show in 1989 and suspect why Lemay was asked to come back in 88.  Prior to 1988, the storylines were so DOOL stupid.
    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!
