Yep bringing Leslie back was all Passanate. HAH I hate to say it but all of this is making me look back on Pratt's work as not so bad in many ways... I do agree with Vee that the Rayfield stuff (partcularly when it was just him before C joined) was so souless and lacking in identity that it was perhaps even worse, Passanate's era was gleefully just bad. (of course the ghosts taking over Pine Valley thing happened after she ran away to ATWT and the show was left with no writer and with Jesse, etc, running around)

Yeah it was Rosa Gabriel was with--somethign Marcus didn't like

In later years I would get Carlos and Juan Pablo confused, as they were right after the other. I can't even remember either of their exits.

I guess Budig was angry, as they ditched any plans to put David/Greenlee together for the story with Carlos.

Bwahaha! I remember that! :lol:

It's funny how you can remember certain little random scenes..... but I guess that one was SO STUPID that it stuck in my memory.

Yeah, Bianca and Dog Boy were going to go for a picnic, I believe, and Erica comes in with a basket of food she said Coral prepared.

Gabriel opens it and goes ballistic because he thinks the treats resemble dog biscuits or some sh!t. Like he thought Bianca purposely made the food look like dog food to mock him. HA! :lol:

I'm going to do something people who make rather extreme claims like these tend to hate -- I'm going to ask for details to support your claims that that five and a half month stint was "soulless" and "lacking in identity."

And I mean beyond the typical "he added FIVE NEW PEOPLE" and "Carlos was a total drag!" While I didn't think it was top notch storytelling, I also didn't find it soooo distasteful. I found it tolerable which I don't think I would've been able to do if it was this "soulless" shell for those five months Rayfield and Cascio were writing. What I found soulless? Raping a lesbian woman and impregnating her. Three murder mysteries in three years -- one of which including torture. A slut with a heart of gold stealing her "best friend's" baby and leading her to believe that newborn died drowning after being swept away in a river after a helicopter crash. Things I believe trump Greenlee falling in love with a janitor in the "soulless" department.

Carlos was killed off. I believe this was when he and Juan Pablo were poised to become AMC's answer to Sonny Corinthos and his mob family, but...notsomuch. I seem to recall someone shooting at Carlos and Greens, but Carlos lingered on with injuries for a few weeks before dying. Simone was in the room when he started to die.

Sorta nerdy. He was Fusion's lawyer whenever Simone got them in legal trouble during the early Fusion days. They were sorta kinda somehow trying to see how he and Simone would work together (I remember them skinny-dipping at the beach once, or something like that), but he went away to Massachusetts. He returned during the whole Satin Slayer nonsense as a red herring.

He was never a major character, just someone on the periphery. Similar to Lysistrata Schwartz.

She is a trip. Apparently, Chuck Scarborough (her co-anchor) was diddling with his Blackberry and he missed the copy he was supposed to read, but yeah, the way she lays into that vowel and those consonants is priceless. There were also tabloid reports that she was regularly seen having a few *sippy-sippies* at Cafe des Artistes before the nightly newscast. She has a cameo as herself in The First Wives Club.

Yeah, I guess that was Rosa who I'm thinking about.

That is HILARIOUS about the picnic/dog biscuits. Ha, I can just hear Erica saying "Carl" (Coral). I know that's closer to the right pronunciation, but for years I thought she was referring to some big burly dude in the kitchen.

I have a vague memory of Kenny, I was in college then and relied mostly on my mom's recaps, but I looked it up and he was played by Adrian Rieder:

Is Terri Ivens biracial?

    • I wouldn't call Tomas' cuts a modern cut. They appear to be a slim/extreme slim cut⏤cut slimmer down the sides, with a higher armhole, which pulls up/out, depending on the fit of the person's body. Again, I feel like Ms Featherstone is buying to fit the wrong parts of the body; instead of buying to fit their widest parts (shoulders), she's buying things to fit their middle/waist (which is the easiest to ultimately fix without a complete re-cut), and it shows in the finished product. And the only reason it irks me is because I worked in suit sales for nearly ten years, and I notice these things immediately. The fashion(s) on this soap are miles ahead of three of the four others (I like the fashions from Y&R), but the tailoring is a choice, especially where the men are concerned.
    • There probably would have been a good chance they knew of him, especially with his ties to Spaulding and his being involved in so much scandal (meaning there would be plenty of photos and articles around they both would have seen), but I agree the mask was silly, clearly just a TV moment.

    • I think all the suits are fit too tight, except for Jon Lindstrom's. DC lawyers/doctors are not all LA fashion elites. Yes, maybe Tomas would have a more modern cut to his suit, but an established guy like Bill wouldn't go around looking like that lonely button on his jacket was ready to explode constantly.
    • I do think there's room for optimism, especially with Amazon making enough new episodes to last until December. There's still time for the various players to get their ducks in a row. Guess we'll know soon enough! 
    • I do agree it's better to just have people pop back into town. I never understood why Roger needed a mask on an island, when neither Fletcher or Alex would've known who he was. And the vine...sigh. Couldn't he have just been sent crashing through a window or something?
    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.
    • RIP Wayne Lewis.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
