But he said he almost did something so horrible, so awful, which was heavily alluding to meeting the guy at the diner. Suggesting the two of them meet up at a sports bar. What could that have been?! Coupled with Rafe and Heather going, "Why did he f*ck us both and lie about it?" What else could that have been an allusion too?

We know this show has a history of stealing or poaching ideas from the boards or from eager fans willing to write bad fan fiction. Here's a direct excerpt from one of MarkH's posts, alluding to what I believe the show is planning to do:

The man with his son meeting up with Adam was so telling, IMO. Adam didn't want to have sex with the guy because his son would be in the room or potentially be a victim, the way Brokeback Clint victimized him. That's what's in Sharon's letter.

Forget Cliff Wilson! Hope left with Kurt Costner in 1997 right? Kurt will turn out to be a child molester who raped Adam. Since it was Ashley who got Kurt to stay in town Adam blames her for bringing Kurt into their lives. Ashley feels so guilty she breaks down but not before apologizing to Adam and forgiving/understanding his actions. How's that for you?

Remember that scene back when they were hyping Billy as an honorary Newman, not long after Delia was born, when Billy and Victor were talking and Victor trashed Cliff as a father? In the show's actual history, Billy died a year or two, if that, after Adam was born. So them rewriting that just to try to make him look bad does suggest they are waiting to do a real number on him. I always liked Cliff a lot :(

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, that seems of touch in 2025. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
