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?

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
