How could I forget OLTL's Karen Witter as the new Tina Roberts in the early 90s. Andrea Evans had a very memorable and popular run as Tina in the late 80s but had to leave abruptly when she was stalked. Finding a successfly recast could have been a difficult project but the show did it in the form of Karen Witter. She was great and fans loved and warmed up to her. Its a shame that after she exited the role, she didnt go on to do anything else in daytime

OLTL's Florencia Lozano as Tea Delgado. Im glad she's back on the show but its ridiculous that she went so long without any other roles. I thought for sure she'd have been picked up

Another World's Paul Michael Valley as Ryan. All he had was a day player part on OLTL a few years ago which is a shame

What did Nolan North say? I always loved Chris. The show never used him well. Now he does animated stuff.

PMV had a brief role on GL about 4 years ago but he has never gotten the success he deserved. He was so good he made it look too easy. Funny, yet also great at dramatics, and so gorgeous.

I forgot about Christine Tudor. I wish she had more luck after Loving. I think it was easy for soaps to ignore her powerhouse work because she wasn't a pretty young thing.

I loved Nolan North. I always thought it would have been easy for GH to move him over to that show as Chris or a new doctor. I also thought he would have made a great Jake on AMC. Apparently he isnt doing too bad for himself as he has a successful career as a voice actor

I liked Georgia well enough, she was OK. Mia on DAYS is similar to her, albeit greener.

I didn't really like Eddie. It was a non-stop ticfest with Eddie man. Man this. Man that. Too much huffing and puffing and anger. He drove too much story and as hot as Michael Woods was, I think having Alec + Reid on the show at the same time was too much. The show was very heavily focused on new characters at the time and it hurt.

Kover was actually hot as Chris, and he isnt my usual type of soap actor. I do however, thought that was the perfect opportunity to make him gay, as he gave that vibe off(which is funny as obviously now he is not gay, and he had great chemistry with every woman he was paired with) the only problem is they stuck him with that dowdy Abigail which totally desexed him, (and made him as said above look like a big perv.) I think he was totally beleivable as Chris Hughes a guy raised by Kim,and surrounded in his immediate and extended family with a group of strong women,such as Nancy, Lisa, Margo, etc. He came off as if he really liked women, and his relationship and protectiveness of Nancy was nice and different from most young soap studs.

I hated Jorgensen as Chris, not only did he talk as if he had marbles in his mouth, he had that think New YOIRK accent which was totally unbelieveable in midwestern Oakdale. (That overbite the kid had drove me crazy too, which was mean to say.)

Ugh! Tell me about it. She would have been great as Emily. I'll never forget how terrible Natalia Livingston's first scenes were as Emily. She was so terrible. Needless to see, she didn't grow as much either.

      Thanks @JAS0N47 for the 1973-1979 pre-emptions. Interesting that there were no Christmas pre-emptions 1973-1975 and 1978. Christmas 1976 was a Saturday and Christmas 1977 was a Sunday.

      Thanks @DRW50 for the video. I guess that is the closest we will get to pre-1979 Roger/Holly storylines.

      Yeah that's likely the case and it will all be awful.

      I appreciate your POV and ideas here. I don't, however, trust Josh Griffith to make this anything like a good story. My guess is that much of it will be off-camera and that we'll have to be happy with Mariah retelling the nightmare in bits and pieces. Meanwhile, Tessa will still be strumming her damn guitar with Daniel. Ugh. I know I'm negative about this show. I am hate watching with every fiber of my being, and there's nothing about it that's working for me. I never recall Y&R being worse.

Pomarico; and a pic of director Steven Williford whose photo caption says "J. Steven Williford".

      I think the gross ickiness is Josh Griffith's intention. At birth, Ian Ward stole Mariah from Sharon, so that Sharon knew only of the Cassie twin and not the Mariah twin.  Sharon gave up Cassie for adoption at birth, never knowing that Mariah existed. When Ian Ward stole baby Mariah, he had her be raised by a woman member of his cult. She grew up in his cult. Years later, after Mariah was an adult in Genoa City and had left him, he tried to kidnap her to marry him himself, I sort of remember some icky scenes where he had arranged a wedding, but she escaped or was rescued -- it was so gross that I chose to forget it, and I don't want to look up the details. Mariah is feeling traumatized/triggered by Ian Ward being in Genoa City several months ago, because he was obsessed with her, and he terrorized her loved ones, interacted with Tessa, and drugged Sharon, which ultimately resulted in the death of Heather -- causing the grief of Daniel and Lucy. None of that was Mariah's fault. But she was so horrified by what happened, that she feels she did something wrong that caused this hateful villain to continue to obsess about her.   Based on small comments that Mariah made recently, I think she feels completely worthless. I gather that when she was away on the business trip a month or two ago, all of what happened with Ian Ward and Heather's death just hit her all at once and she was mentally/emotionally collapsing, and just felt unable to call for help.  During the business trip she sat in her hotel room and spiraled more, feeling more and more worthless and afraid. Finally she started drinking at a bar, and that's when the creepy old man approached her.  By that point, she wasn't in her right mind, and started interacting with the guy.  Either she thought he was Ian, or she thought he was someone like Ian, and she would be *required* to flirt with him in a role play, and do what he commanded, almost like old programming being reactivated.  Or perhaps just simple self-loathing playing out. I don't know if the guy actually knew Ian or Jordan, or if he was a random stranger.  But Mariah's fear/loathing/subconscious chaos kicked in. And then... well that's as far as her flashbacks have aired so far. She can't bear to face the rest of whatever it was.  I gather that in the coming episodes, we'll (eventually) find out what happened next as we see more of the icky flashbacks. --------------- The rest of this post is only my speculation: I think that she felt like she was supposed to have sex with him but didn't want to, and may have tried to kill him instead. Or he r*ped her.  Or they didn't have sex at all, but it's all convoluted in her mind.  Something horrible happened but I don't think it was her fault.  If the man died, maybe she covered it up?  I really don't know, I'm just speculating ideas. At any rate, I'm totally convinced that this is NOT a conventional "cheating storyline" where someone willingly has sex outside their relationship. ----------------- This is basically Josh Griffith's obsession with dark storylines, creepy villains, and terrible writing of "mental health issues".

      The most we ever saw was on the "Roger years" tape.
