Eileen and Stephen were love interests on Santa Barbara too, I think. I remember Branco hyping this when Nichols was hired. Of course they were love interests at a time of falling ratings and cancellation...

I said some similar things elsewhere. Total agreement. I'm okay with Hasselhoff I guess...but he's doing a bobble-head thing with his neck that I don't understand.

Liz was a feisty woman who constantly berated Jill with tough love. "Now daughter...", she'd begin. Having Liz come on sickly (dying?) totally impoverishes the value in having her come back. And this is the second time they've saddled her with sickness.

Older viewers spent the better part of a decade knowing and loving these Fosters. Now we don't even get to find out about Chris? Jennifer? Or if they had other children?

I haven't seen Thurs show, so it seems there are some beats I'm missing. I continue to believe that Lauren's referencing of being happy as an only child is where this is headed. But it sounds like it is going in another direction?

I totally agree that time is not being taken with this story, and that's killing what was already weak.

Uh-oh. Has Maria sent Chris TO THE LAKE, too?

Honestly, the only ridiculous thing left for Victor to do is use his brute strength to deflect a meteor hurtling toward Earth.

Oh, [!@#$%^&*], I gave away next week's big cliffhanger.

    • I think the arrival of the Spauldings (Alan/Elizabeth/Phillip) caused the erosion of Sara's character on the show since Elizabeth took over Sara's place in the whole Justin/Jackie story.  Sara's brief marriage to another deceptive man sounded like it paled in comparison to the previous deceptive man story that she had played the decade beforehand.. and it was probably done because of the whole Alan/Jackie/Mike/Elizabeth cluster that took off story wise.   I know the show had introduced Brandy, the woman Justin cheated on Jackie with... but I don't believe she lasted more than a year.. and didn't make much of an impression. While the Dobson's were good at writing/juggling multiple characters/stories.. they weren't perfect though they did manage to make use of characters not in the front burner like Sara, Ann, etc. I do know that Sara/Adam looked to be starting up at the end of the Dobson era with a jealous/regretful Barbara looking on.. which played out during the Roger/Holly rape story and Hollys prison story.   I don't know if Marland was as inspired by that story when he took over
    • If you ever make it to the Paley Center in NYC (fka Museum of TV and Radio), in their viewing room, you can watch Days 1/1/73 featuring Denise Alexander as Susan. It’s her last month on the show before switching to GH.
    • Overall I was impressed with this week and fall out from the revealation.  I am looking forward to seeing the Nicole/Dana showdown next week.  I do wonder if June is going to be tied to Hayley.  
    • I thought Adam and Sara got married? Although I do not remember any mention of her when Adam returned for Blake's weddings. But MA certainly got the short end of the stick storywise, as Marland's obsession with therapy reared it's head. 
    • Didn’t Meg Bennett return to SFT as a writer in the last few years. I always wondered if they tried to get her back as Liza.
    • Millette Alexander got the short end of the stick once they killed off Joe. The Justin thing was a non-starter. Then she was briefly married to Alan's corrupt lawyer and HE was killed off. She was paired briefly with Adam and that ended because she believed Holly over Roger about the rape. Definitely, Marland had zero interest in her except as the therapist for the many, many of his female characters who needed therapy. It's not odd she left the show. One of the rare 1978 episodes on YT shows Alan going to Cedars for a physical check-up. He ends up with Sarah as his doctor. In between making mysoginistic comments about women doctors, he also openly flirts with her. It's very obvious they were chem testing Sarah and Alan. It's a really good scene. Bernau is both obnoxious and charming and Millette is amazing, trying to be pleasant and profesional without rolling her eyes at him, but at the same time maybe a LITTLE bit attracted to him. An interesting what-might-have-been. So it appears the Dobsons were actively looking for someone to pair her with, they just never found the right one for a long-term story.
    • I'm happy to read whatever you provide, @Paul Raven.
