I'm pretty sure Janet going crazy again because of that Sophie chick happened in late 1999/early 2000.

When Stuart was presumed dead after Arlene accidentally ran him over, Esther found him somewhere and they worked at a diner, I believe. She convinced him they were married. I don't remember what happened to her but Stuart ended up in Pine Valley and Arlene locked him in the attic and Marian found him.

At the time I thought they were setting up some of the characters at the diner to move to Pine Valley, but it never happened. Too bad...AMC could have had their very own Moelle and Gigi

HAHAH and they coulda torn down the Goalpost and done it up as a replica (actually I guess they stopped using the goalpost by then--and in the mid90s they were always at...MacKays? something--and then the dreaded SOS).

I do remember that story--somehow Marian was Stuart's Queen of Hearts or whatever which is what mentally reminded him
