Members lovely_m Posted October 13, 2010 Members Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm a surprised that Jason/Robin were in this category since I've always heard that they were popular. But then again Mimi Torchin didn't like them so maybe it's not a surprise after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 13, 2010 Members Share Posted October 13, 2010 That was agreat couple of episodes, but the one who really killed in my opinion was Lois Nettleton. Mrs Benson telling Tony a thing or two was great. I was so happy he finally got a little story. I cared!!! It was totally out of character for Palmer to be hording nazi gold though. He actually fought a nazi a decade earlier on the show. But I was happy he had a story and was even more happy it was a story where he wasn't so nice. At the time I assumed this was going to be his swan song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah I liked that story too -- not because it was in character, as it wasn't, but just because James Mitchell was such fun. I loved when he knocked Tad out with the metal briefcase. He and Jill also acted the stuffing out of their breakup scenes. I thought that the stuff with Carly and Bobbie was a big letdown, one of many Guza anticlimaxes. Bobbie forgave Luke almost immediately, for no real reason. Bobbie then rarely if ever had any meaningful scenes with Carly. She would often just cluck at her and then take her side sometimes but they never actually talked about their relationship. Virginia was killed off for NO reason. Carly just went back to being obsessed with Jason. The whole thing was a waste. Their last year together was not as popular. Robin basically lost all purpose in life other than being with Jason and raising his child. Jason gave up the mob to work at a bike shop. They had the same dull scenes over and over and were never going anywhere. Any special meaning the relationship had was taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted October 14, 2010 Members Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thanks for writing these up. Billie and Roman were lovers on Days? I didnt think that happened till Julie Pinson was in the role Whats the deal with those? Erika Page? Really? I couldnt stand Roseanne WTF? lol....I vageuly remember this. Oh I see it was written up above Was that the attic one? If so IA. Was that when he ahd a lookalike? I rememebr hating that story but dont remember what about its ending that made it so good How ironic bc 10 years later and they were still going at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 14, 2010 Yeah even in the writeup for the Taylor/Brooke/Ridge they basically said "for now." The Mr. Murty twist was that Liz and Lucky assumed her English teacher, Mr. Murty, had raped her. She held him at knifepoint and demanded he confess to her rape. He felt awful for her but told her he wasn't near the park that night, he was with his boyfriend. His boyfriend then came home and confirmed this. Funnily enough, Patrick Fabian, who played Mr. Murty, had, around this same time, appeared in the first episode of Providence as Melina K's fiance, and she caught him in the shower with another man. The Tad photo twist was at Brooke's trial for shooting Jim Thomasen. Tad took innocent photos of various Pine Valley children and with help from his old friend Alfred Vanderpoole, made it look like Jim had taken the photos. This helped convince the jury that Brooke was right. SPW says that Erika has "exotic looks" is "subtle," and gets her point across with "facial expressions and that slow, smokey voice of hers." Yeah it was the attic one. It was revealed that Roman and Billie had both worked undercover for the ISA while they were both in Europe trying to get over Bo and Marlena. They had a secret mission together and then viewers saw them having sex. The GH story was the Mac lookalike, yes. They said the best part of the end was that the story got Mac and Felicia back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 14, 2010 Members Share Posted October 14, 2010 Mimi Torchin pretty much doesn't like KMc so yeah I can see why Robin & Jason are on their, and bad story or not, their chemistry was still there. That kind of chemistry just doesn't vanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 14, 2010 I was never a big fan of theirs but at the time even a lot of their fans online, I remember them just being sick of it, especially Carly's involvement. It was all very dull and made Robin look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
