I must say AL has been stiff and awkward in her scenes ( I liked her much better as Colleen). Am not feeling JMB at all, she only looks as if she can be Luke and Laura's kid. CD (wow am learning the cast names)I dunno, I see some potential there but I don't understand why they have Michael running around interupting everybody's sex scene I don't understand the connect. I guess somehow the story is suppposed to come full circle on "Carly" who by the way is still not my Carly. I like LW I see where she tries to be enteratining, but this is not Carly in any sense

The connect is Michael was raped in prison. It's been established through tacky dialogue with Max (who was gonna go out and purchase a hooker for Michael for his 18th birthday) that Michael is a virgin. So his first sexual encounter, being an extremely negative one, is being juxtaposed with examples of consensual, desirable sexual encounters. It's showing his inability to be comfortable around the idea of sex.

Oh, joyous day!! An LW supporter who still acknowledges -- like LW or not -- this is NOT Carly!! :D :D :D

Oh Ok didn't know he was raped guess I have to do a bit of digging,/ I missed that detail....

Yeah Carly was never this confident about being a b!tch, she mostly reacted and showed teeth but theres was always vulnerability. She wasn't tough in the way that LW depicts she was tough in a softer way (if anyone else can make sense of that)

Oh one of those things huh? :rolleyes: Are we smelling a rewrite?

    • That works for me. And/or Dani could be in with a fast crowd and got involved with something shady and Bill came to the rescue.
    • I think judging from synoses of other shows, that the summaries are roughly in the order they played throughout the year. So Kubeck returned to a more crime theme. Maybe now that EON was competition they wanted that audience? Re Jameson Parker, the story goes that he was not pleased that TPTB wanted to tread lightly with the Dale/Ellen romance and he was taken to task over some improvs he added re touching Ellen in ways considered too 'racey'.So when his contract was up he quickly moved to OLTL as Brad.
    • I don’t think it was intentional. Because if it was, I imagine it would’ve been mentioned in one of those ‘Welcome to the Neighborhood’ specials that aired. 
    • I mean, soaps are a world were 5'2" Eva Longoria can be a runway model...
    • I wonder if Michelle Val Jean even considered this. It seems so obvious to many of us.  If they want the Dupree name to continue, Anita and Vernon need at least one male heir.  Two would be even better.  Do you think Val Jean may have written it this way intentionally for some reason?  
    • Agreed Anita and Vernon definitely needed a son or two.  The Duprees are the core family, yet the name practically doesn’t even exist anymore.  Some slot machines would be nice

    • I would have it come out that Dani was pregnant with Naomi while her career was still on the rise, and the idea of a Dupree having a baby out of wedlock would be scandalous, and Bill, who was starting out in his career, received pressure from Vernon/Anita to do the "honorable thing" and marry her and in exchange Vernon promised to help his new son-in-law out with his legal career. 
    • Dani,

    • Dani as a model never sat right with me, especially when some of the cringe dialogue was saying she was a rival to Naomi Campbell. Not trying to be mean or disparaging against her, but in no world would Dani/Karla Mosley's looks have ever have been accepted in the real world and ultra competitive high fashion modeling industry - certainly not 15-20 years ago. I get this is fiction, but come on...
    • Thanks @Paul Raven really appreciate this.  Did Parker Stevenson leave Somerset for OLTL, or was he written out by the show? The Ellen and Dale story seemed to get a positive response, at least in some quarters. Maybe that was too much for P&G. I didn't know about any stories Ellen had after the relationship ended so I'm glad to know a little more now. Seems like almost every woman on the show had to have some tie or desire for Julian. I assume this is not written in chronological order, but I notice we got from many typical melodramatic soap stories to all crime stories.  All this focus on Carrie, Vicky, Heather, etc. reminds me of how much the show seemed to cycle through heroines compared to how they settled on Julian. Who was the long running woman who got focus? Ginger?   I didn't realize this final headwriter was an unknown. I wonder if Henry Slesar may have recommended him? Or knew of the real him? Somerset had already had a long run for a soap spinoff, but I wonder if the show would have been renewed if Lemay and Rauch hadn't agreed to try their own soap...or if NBC/P&G were just done.
