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.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
    • I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
    • I believe they said 27 sets. We have not seen that many maybe around 20. Perhaps they meant they have space for that number. I would like to see another meeting place -maybe a restaurant that could fit in b/w Orphy's and the Country Club. Casual but classy. Jacob/Naomi need a living room and it would be good if Vern/Anita had a smaller study/library so they're not always in the same room. I guess budget plays a part. For example, maybe the plan is for Jacob/Naomi to get a home down the track when they become more prominent. I really hope that outdoor sets come into use. A terrace at the Country Club or a few shopfronts-a park maybe. Speculation re June. I would go with a Hayley connection as she needs something else to do apart from whining to Bill. June could  provide some conflict cos I don't see Bill being that interested in having her around. He could try to buy her off, upsetting Hayley or she could overhear/uncover some dirt on Bill so he's forced to keep her around. The parents of Tyrell/Samantha can be held for down the track along with the mystery of Andre's parents. The advantage of a new show is that there is so much from character's pasts that can be used. An ex for Vernon or Anita and various relatives to come out of the woodwork.
