Patti was trying to play the fan game that Zimmer and Newman were so adept at.  She started her own website and she got the Suzz fans (as they called themselves and believe it or not there were people into the those two..probably not many but Patti was trying her best to create a Jeva...) going nuts, even sending her kids gifts..it was incredibly inappropriate. Anyway, on a message board people were complaining about Jeva's airtime and the dumb strorylines..(remember, these were the days where Kim and Robert were off for two days in a row they complained about being back burnered..) Patti, trying to cur favor or just thinking she was helping jumped in and started to argue with the posters...(as if Kimmer ever needed ANYONE to fight her battles... and she always knew people bitching were people talking) eventually telling someone to "BITE me,'' which apparently helped to lead to her firing or at least she was out of the good graces of Rauch and Madd and no one stopped Labine from writing her out.

Wasn't Beth in the Sampson girl contest?  She had always loved Beth likens daughter so maybe that was the reason?

 

In the 80s, Jeva were front and center...but so were other characters and stories.  By 1998, only Jeva got airtime..and any other character that got airtime always tied back to Reva.

Excited to see Sherri too!!

 

Re: D’Arbanville drama. I was glad Selena’s lost Santos spawn never popped up(as the show did another Santos member at that time). I thought I had something on the Bite Me mess but this was the closest I had from 10/30/2000 SoapNews:

@Paul Raven, I'm trying to recall this correctly, since both things happened in the same year - I think Lynne Adams decided she wanted to leave the show, so Leslie Bauer was killed off. I think the Dobsons decided to kill off Joe Werner to free up Sara on the canvas (because they were going to pair her with Justin Marler), so Anthony was written out. I might have that backwards?

    • Hopefully they can expand some of the sets again. I watched some 04/05 episodes and forgot how much more grand the production used to feel. I wonder if YR will be staying put or going there or somewhere else as well.
    • DAYS posted the recipe! https://www.instagram.com/p/DKiMVZvuZje/ dayspeacock June 5, 2025 Tomorrow is National Donut Day! Here’s Alice Horton’s famous recipe! #NationalDonutDay #Donuts #Recipe #DOOL #Days #Daysofourlives #TBT Ingredients: 2 eggs 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of milk 5 tablespoons melted shortening 1-teaspoon vanilla extract 4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring 4 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 stick butter, melted Cinnamon Sugar In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating constantly. Stir in milk, shortening and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the wet ingredients, mixing well. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes to one hour for easier handling. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Roll out or pat the dough on a lightly floured board to a half inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter. Place the doughnuts and holes on the baking sheet, one inch apart. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush each doughnut and doughnut holes with melted butter and roll in Cinnamon Sugar to coat all sides. Makes about 36 doughnuts. Cinnamon Sugar: 1 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, blending well.                                                                                
    • "Jordan and Robert have the best brother chemistry. " They certainly did!  And that chemistry worked no matter who served as the protagonist in a given scene or story.  A shame that a full-blown story was never developed for those two.  Wouldn't have needed to be adversarial, either.  Maybe a serious, unexpected, long-term outside threat, business or personal, to one of the brothers with the other coming to his aid.      
    • Meant to come back to this!

      I was able to find most of them. I am not sure if you did 1974-1977 but I did not find it in the 70s thread. This is an amazing resource for EVERY soap.  1973 https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/41800-ratings-from-the-70s/page/78/#comments 1973 more research https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/41800-ratings-from-the-70s/page/80/#comments 1973 Update https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/41800-ratings-from-the-70s/page/82/#comments 1978 https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/50145-ratings-from-the-80s/page/135/#comments 1979-1988 https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/50145-ratings-from-the-80s/page/115/#comments 1989  https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/50145-ratings-from-the-80s/page/122/#comment-1876530 1990-1999  https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/58300-ratings-from-the-90s/page/11/#comments 2000-2004  https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/58300-ratings-from-the-90s/page/58/#comments
    • Mrs. H used the donuts to distract from the expensive jewels that she hid in the walls of her kitchen.  Now, it all makes sense...

      I thought a smart cookie like Caroline Brady would've had the chance to hide a bauble of her own from her dalliance with Victor.
    • They need to get rid of the ugly pizza set. Thanks for the info!
