Actor Christopher Cass briefly took over for Breen while Breen became suddenly ill. (This is the infamous "mid-love scene" episodes). But Breen returned to continue the role after he recovered from his illness.  Then a month or two later Neal was murdered and a distraught Scott disappeared shortly afterward.   Breen was on-air until at least June of 1993.

That is a great idea about Chuckie not actually being dead and the revenge plot from Michael Shea. The Dobsons probably would have loved writing all that mess too. Just add in Cricket getting pregnant again and John having a death feud with Michael. 

I remember liking Scott at the time. When I have rewatched parts of that period in the last decade, I still do, but that's more down to Breen's charm and breeziness than what should have been most important (his ties to Lisa and Tom). It didn't help that Tom was in the middle of a very heavy story at this time with Margo's rape and HIV scare. 

I didn't care for Wert at the time, but if the show had been in a better place and he had stayed I might have felt more invested. At least this time around he was more directly involved with Lisa and Tom. I just wish they'd had better plans for him. Pining after Sam and then scheming to get Rosanna's money - none of it interested me. Anything with Rosanna tended to be a nonstarter for me.

Cass mentioned how odd the timing was as he was appearing on Loving as a hallucination of Jack Forbes at the same time as he tempted on ATWT.

Sabrina had the makings of a bad seed daughter.  Remember she pretended to be Frannie in order to get with her boyfriend Seth...then she dumps Seth and marries another man.

And Claire Beck had played a more crazed and desperate character on AMC so she could have easily tapped into Sabrina's darker side.  For some reason, Marland refused to go all the way in making Sabrina the black sleep of the Hughes family.

1977 and 1979 episodes really highlighted Joyce's dark and demented side.  No wonder people in early 1980 were leery of Joyce...and if I recall...it turned out Joyce was faking the nice act and was exposed in 1981 before leaving town.

    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
