The more I see of Lindsay Frost's work the more I love it. It's a good thing I didn't see this stuff back then and I wasn't on any message board (I guess they were "bulletin boards" back then), as I probably would have spent too much time arguing with people who said she wasn't the "real Betsy" and she was boring.

I didn't realize until now that they revamped a lot of the hospital set, at least the sitting room, between this time and 1988 or 1989. Do you know exactly when it happened? Was it ever mentioned in the story?

Did we ever see the front room of Craig/Sierra's house again after Sierra left in early 1988? I can't remember ever seeing it when Craig was back or during the stuff with Ellie and Sierra. Maybe my memory is going.

I'm sure he was better than Howarth but the Sarah stuff seems like a bad idea to me.

Those scenes of Ellen must have been her last before Valente fired her. I had forgotten she was there till almost the 2000 year.

I thought John Howard looked like Barbara and James son. Just because he was pretty he wasnt taken seriously. I wonder if he has done anything since ATWT. I think he left showbiz. At least John to me looked the part not like Roger Howarth who didnt even look like his folks and was just awful in the role.

Holyroyd was great as Paul but didnt resemble either James or Barbara.

Yeah Bruder was put on recurring in summer 1995 and then showed up for a few appearances in 1998. One of the few things I can appreciate about the FMB era (along with bringing back Andy).

I don't remember Barbara having a lot of story with Paul when Howard returned. I guess there was some anger about Paul/Emily from her, I assume.

I believe Barbara approved of Paul with Sarah. I thought they were a cute couple but rather boring. I would have loved to seen this Paul with Melanie Smith's Emily.

I forgot about Bruder returning in 98. It's a shame Sheffer didnt bring her back full time in 2000.

Watching the Humiliation episode on the DVD release. Finally got it to work on my dvd player. The episode is 100 times better than what we saw from Goutman and Co its last years. The episode is better the second time around viewing it. Even though Marland is gone the main vets are still there. IF I remember correctly Lisa sued John for Edwardo's death. Then John came up with this plan to her back. I love how Lucinda is involved too. The Cal/Connor/LIly/Emma scenes are great as well. Always loved me some Connor. I liked her with Mark instead of Cal. I was probably in the minority back then on that one. It's nice to see Doug Wert again as Scott. And 2nd Jessica...JR....Everyone looks young too....lol... Also noticed Kim's darker hair.

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
