I had forgotten there was a Mitch Beck character on AMC. How long was he around? Was he in a murder mystery? Was there someone else named Denny?

During a party for Mac, the serial killer sneaked into the Cory house, killed all the lights, locked the men in a separate room, and then terrorized the women.

Ugh. Even reading about this story offends me. No offense to Mac but I think Rachel and Ada would probably kick a serial killer's butt before anyone else.

I always thought it was odd that a serial killer going after women for sin never seriously targeted Rachel or Felicia.

Poor Quinn. Yet more wonderful treatment of a minority, longstanding character. I remember hearing that after her murder, AW told Digest that they had no idea people would be so upset about her death. Pathetic.

I never knew Tony had to operate on the man who killed Tania. I know Tony became a self-righteous jerk later on but I still preferred the "nice" Tony to the psycho who was destroyed by Luza to prop Jason and Carly.

The beginning of B&B, and some of the best storyline's from Marland's As the World Turns (Frannie/Sabrina, Lily's parentage revealed; 1986 and 1987 were probably the best years of that show). Thanks again FrenchFan!

How was Ralph Ellis's time as HW of Loving regarded?

I know Ellis was respected for his work as an Associated Head Writer on GH in the early 90's during the early Labine era, and I've seen his name in some 70's ATWT writing credits. I'm interested in knowing how he was as a HW.

Those AW synopses are about up to where Soapnet started running them. No wonder the ratings weren't hot when the episodes started with one young woman remembering her horrific rape and the murder of her parents and another woman having a nervous breakdown as she confessed that she was a prostitute. Maggie DePriest does us all proud

Terry and Tiffany were puzzled by Dusty's trans-like state of mind.

So Zarf wasn't the first then...

Josh broke the news to Reva that she won't be able to have any more children.

Yeah, that took

Pete said he'll move to Malakeva with Pamela

So that's what happened to Pete O'Neill. They never mentioned him afterwards did they?

I had never heard of this Cyndy. What was she like? What happened to her? I also don't know of a Geoffrey. I knew Kate and Patrick worked together but didn't know he was her ex. I thought the first Patrick was kind of hot.

Ugh I forgot that they liked the obnoxious guardian angel character for Vicki, Virgil so much that they tried to bring him to Llanview as Gilbert.

Philip and Jackson rescued Chelsea and Alan, who were held hostage by Warren. Warren was arrested for murder after he admitted to Alan and Chelsea that he was Paul's silent partner in the art scam and that he killed him after he double-crossed Warren. Warren tried to frame Alan for Paul's murder because he blamed Alan for the long-ago death of Warren's wife, Lesley Ann. Christine left town after Johnny told her to get out of his life forever. Alan paid Warren's bail after Warren agreed to stop the hit man who was hired to murder Philip. Everyone was relieved when Rusty responded favorably after surgery to remove a bullet from him. Alan and the police pursued the hit man, who made an attempt on Philip's life after Warren lied that he called off the hit. The hit man escaped death when his car plunged off a bridge into the river. Reva nixed H.B.'s offer to help her find out if Kyle fathered her baby.

Ah the infamous and completely pointless whodunnit reveal where Warren Andrews of all people turned out to be a cold blooded murderer.

Ugh I forgot that they liked the obnoxious guardian angel character for Vicki, Virgil so much that they tried to bring him to Llanview as Gilbert.

To think that's the only story Marilyn Chris had in about 12 years.

HAHA what about propping up her nephew and Becky Ann or whatever
