A 1995 episode has been uploaded - I don't think it was already up.

@P.J. it's a Carly episode. I had forgotten she used to call Rosanna "Rosebud" - not in a kind way. So did I - not in a kind way. 

Mike/Rosanna always suck the life out of scenes. 

@DramatistDreamer This might be a little late for your ATWT enjoyment era but tagging anyway just in case.

I had also forgotten there was a redesign of the Mona Lisa, which does not look good (and it seems like the camera angles are trying to hide that). How long did the Mona Lisa last anyway? I think people were still going there in the late '90s but I can't remember after that.  

Some good Kim/John scenes here.

It's a shame Jeremy left (I know it was the actor's choice) as he was more natural and compelling than the usual generic models like those we got in 1996 (Ryder, Paul, etc.). It might have made more sense to bring him back for Margo/Tom conflict than that weird story with Eddie and his being fixated on Margo.

OMG---PROOF that Carly didn't know who Mike was when they hooked up. Haters retooled history insisting she did. 

LOL...I used to love Carly's snarky "Rosebud". And Tess calling Rosanna "Just Rosanna

Just Rosanna was a hoot.

I had also forgotten they used that very loud hair metal music cue with Carly.  I do remember the fiddle cue they use right as they're about to kiss.

The idea of looking for more reasons to prove how wicked Carly was feels like something Lisa would have been doing in the '00s.

I think all the ATWT sets in the late 70s, early 80s looked like that...it may have been a recycled set but I dont think it was supposed to be the same house Don had...interesting that they used the original set that Lyla lived in when she first came to town, I wonder if the ghost of Lisa Lorings bad acting haunted the set?

I remember Tess used to say 'Rosanna C' whenever she addressed her or introduced her to anyone during the summer of 1992 when Rosanna was a mysterious runaway.  I think Parker Posey getting a movie was why her character was quickly written out and then replaced by Debbie  as the heavy in the Hutch/Rosanna coupling.

I do think it was the same set at least.  I recently watched an episode that someone posted which featured Don and Joyce.  And the house they were living in looked identical to the house Lyla and Casey later shared.  And if (as you said) that was the same set Lyla lived in when she first came to town, then it makes me wonder how much time passed between Don's departure from the show and Lyla's arrival. I suppose it is possible it was not only the same set, but even supposed to be the same house. Who knows??   No big deal, but I do find set transitions interesting.

I was watching CNN's Have I Got News for You and in a game where they have to guess which of 3 facts is true about a person they had one about Parker Posey where the true item was that she had dropped out of SUNY Purchase to work on a soap. No one knew and both teams rejected the true item as "too believable". Then they played a short clip from 1991 of Tess sitting on some grass with a blond guy I didn't know who was talking about his father and a drainage ditch. Then the HIGNFY people made fun of the clip.

Nice to see that sneering anti-soap attitude remains...even with CNN's ratings in the toilet, the elitism dies last. 

That could make sense. I wonder if she's ever spoken about her reasons for leaving. I am trying to remember if they built Debbie up before Tess left. Sad to say, Debbie was nowhere near as interesting.

In her interview with Alan Locher a few years ago, Alison Rice shared that when Parker Posey was offered the movie, Posey asked ATWT if she could be allowed to take time to film it. TPTB said no and Alison remembers Posey saying, "Well this is a great opportunity and I'm not giving it up" and she abruptly left ATWT.

That is surprising considering Marland was still HW. He was famous for allowing cast members to do other projects while on WT. It must have been Caso that didn't allow it.

I didn't care for the character of Tess or Posey acting.

    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
