Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 19, 2021 Members Share Posted January 19, 2021 That's a great print promo. Hard to imagine any media outlet paying this much attention to promote a daytime soap for a print ad. Production companies do this in the trade magazines to promote their Oscar contenders but short of some miracle, I think we're past soaps ever doing this again. '89 should have been the last time we saw James Stenbeck, when Paul shot him, unless there was a damn good story to bring him back. The one that brought him back over a decade later wasn't it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 20, 2021 Members Share Posted January 20, 2021 @DramatistDreamer agreed considering Marland was gone and by 89 James was played out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 20, 2021 Members Share Posted January 20, 2021 I get that Stenbeck was originally meant to be a goner in '83 but his return in '86 was done so well-- probably the best written and executed return of a character that I have seen on a soap. So, I get that the temptation was there for another writing regime to bring the character back but by the end of the 90s, the writers knew so little about that far back in the show's history that, honestly, they should've just left it alone. The last regime to write him, wrote him as a complete caricature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Bauer Posted January 20, 2021 Members Share Posted January 20, 2021 I couldn't agree more. They should have left him dead back when Paul shot him. And I really enjoyed the character/actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoria foxton Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Holden was rocking that mullet. Soaps back then were so good at creating an ambience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 21, 2021 Members Share Posted January 21, 2021 There's an episode from 1988 that features John Hensley wearing only tighty whities with his package very visible plus Robert Tyler completely shirtless. Lord Marland.....faints... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 21, 2021 Members Share Posted January 21, 2021 So I guess that was the Marcy before the blonde one, who got married to Linc? Funny how some names get repeated- I almost said the "first Marcy", but to me, that would be Marcy Thompson who was portrayed by Marisa Tomei. I'd like to see more scenes between Susan and Lyla. I was on and off with my viewing of this show at this time and no doubt missed conversations between the two about being in a relationship with a younger man. Lyla's relationship with Cal does not seem to be of the kind that has permanent possibilities. I wonder whether it was always intended to be for a finite period of time. I really hope someone can do a vlog or livestream interview with Parker Posey about her time on ATWT this year. Any interview with her that I have seen or read has never been boring. I am going to say something that might be shocking and many will, no doubt disagree but, I don't hate Courtney. Is she overwrought, melodramatic and whiny? Yes, but she was deeply insecure and had the character stayed on the canvas a bit longer, she would have matured to the point where she could've played a more useful role especially seeing as Andy never married or had a solid relationship after she left, which imo, diminished his prospects for longevity on the canvas. Lily and Roseanna found a place on the canvas, I think with more work, Courtney could have too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 @DramatistDreamer I never hated Courtney either. The poor girl has been reviled on this thread. I only hated her during the very end of her run. When she was very unreasonable and nasty towards poor sweet Andy. Totally agree with you about Courtney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
