Yeah---Brad's return was light on his previous antics, no doubt because they wanted everyone to forget that he was supposed to have been Jack's older brother, and not just the irresponsible freeloader Peck portrayed. There were a couple of snarky remarks when he first appeared (along the lines of that he wasn't surprised that Carly and Jack had imploded), and some veiled reminders when Carly told Brad she was sick. But certainly nothing that suggested Brad's role in the paternity reveal or how he'd blackmailed Carly into the damned marriage in the first place or gleefully spent Carly's money like it was water. Nope---he was simply Carly's victim. That neither Carly or Jack ever got to call him on his [!@#$%^&*] pissed me off no end.  *eyeroll* Nope---he and Jack fought over Katie. *puke*

 

As much as I normally would have liked Ro and Brad to acknowledge their "history" (as brief as it was), the thought of McClain and Peck trying to act as former lovers would have made me want to poke my eyes out. Between McClain's fluttery, stammering coyness and Peck's surfer-dude smugness, God knows how bad it could have been. The Ro/Mike scenes when she first came back with Collier were bad enough.

GAWD. Sheffer giving lip service to history was almost as bad as him ignoring it all together. Carly, Mike and Ro---with Carly and Ro either fighting over the past with Mike while also being driven by some kind of jealous snit about Craig  and  Carly pushing her ex-lover on her cousin Molly   *nails scraping on chalkboard*   All pretty much so Sheffer could write his wet dream of Carly screwing someone other than Jack.....UGH.

Does anyone know the addresses of the places in Oakdale, I always wanted to know.

 

Also when in 1991 did Seth return to ATWT?

 

And I keep reading that Andrew Kavovit left in 1991, but didn't he return in 1992 for Andy's wedding?

 

Does anyone know the exact dates of Irna's last stint as HW and both of Marland's stints?

I thought there was a place with a list of addresses used on the show, but I can't find it now. If you really want it---on Wikipedia, along with the biography of the character, it usually lists an address. Kim, Bob and Nancy's address was 10 Yardley Place, Oakdale (60324) and Carly and Jack's place was 123 Elm Street, Milltown (60325). Fairwinds (Paul and Emily's residence) is 100 Stone Ridge Road. Tom/Margo 724 Pinewood Lane. Emma's farm is RR#2, Box 600, Luther's Corners(61324) while Holden & Lily's is One Mile High Road (61324). I remember something being at 1 River Road, but whether that was Holden and Lily's little cabin or Lily and Derek's cottage that blew up, I'm not sure.

 

I'm not sure how accurate they are (I know the Carjack one is correct) or how far they go back. I tried looking up Hal's address (as he was still living in the house he'd lived in with Babs during their marriage) and they didn't have one listed. Katie's bio only gives a generic "Oakdale IL" address.

Andrew did return as Paul in Dec 1992 for Andy's wedding and stayed for xmas. As did the actor who played Duke but no history books mention that or The dark haired actress who played Betsy when David Stewart Died .

Andrew Kavoit came thisclose to being Stone on GH in 1993, so I wonder if he was ever asked back. Maybe if he was in 1996, we would have got good story?

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
