Members Sindacco Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Thanks for posting. I actually liked most of Langan's stuff. What I didn't like was the Virtual Eden and the teens taking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Agreed. I would take anything (minus the tropical teentation) from 1999-2002 over what airs nowadays (or anything from the past 7 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Was this the time of the submarine sex or was that before Langan? I know at the time some were annoyed about the whole thing with John or Stefano being Hope's baby daddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 That was Sally Sussman-Morina. Well at least she was credit as headwriter but I believe it was during that time Corday and Langan pushed stuff on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 Annoyed, yes, b/c no matter who the father turned out to be, nobody won. Thank God Paula Cwikly & Peter Brash had the good sense to retcon that potential disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 I remember voting for Stefano to be the father. I stand by that choice to this very day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 And I actually remember saying, "Hope so needs to lose that baby!" ;-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 I thought it was worse every year of JFP's tenure. I read this issue at the time as a teenager and I remember being livid that they hailed that story. I thought they were desperate for something to compliment.

Members JackPeyton Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 me too! remember the promo "whos your daddy" with hope rolling around in bed rubbing her baby bump? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JtSmarts Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 Absolutely agree. The 2000-2001 era seemed so bad back then, especially on most of the message boards. However, it was definitely more "DOOL" than anything that has aired since 2006 (especially the Hogan era) and there were some things that Langan did get right.

Members soapfan770 Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 I sorta remember this issue and their reasons I think. Yeah that pairing was boring, the bad writing for the couple was a disservice to Tricia Cast and a waste of Francesco Quinn. It's no wonder they left in early '01. Susan Lemay played by a teenage Brittany Snow was great, I don't why Kriezman all but erased this. Both were bad, although their choice for Best was miles ahead of blind Reva and the doctor guy. I remember there was a lot good press about this but I didn't particularly care for it. The only time Katie really got a full smack-down and comeuppance for all of her stupidity. I can stand by this, because I remember ATWT turning into a good and watchable show in 2000. I pretty much enjoyed Sheffer's ATWT run for the most part until 2004 with the whole Pilar's return, Doc Reese, Cabot, Julia etc. whatever crap was flying around that awful summer. I too voted for Stefano, because having him be the father sounded a lot better. Plus there was rumors that if John and Hope were going be paired up, that Bo was going to sleep with Marlena and they would become a couple. And that repulsed me, because I couldn't see show's two biggest couples be turned into a quad. It is weird they chose Days as Most improved because it always seemed like it was getting worse until one day it finally hit rock bottom the island stuff and this: (Yes, I will always use any excuse to show off bald Chloe and Mermi ) I did enjoy a few stories from Days in 2000 such as Eric stuck between heaven and hell with Isabella, the Bo and Hope wedding, and I didn't think the plane crash was all too bad for the show but Days certainly didn't improve in 2000.

Members Gray Bunny Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 Bo and Marlena? That would be all types of wrong. The only coupling rumor I ever heard about Marlena was her and Dr. Craig Wesley. That would've been... interesting? But I think it would've come across as a fag 'n hag (not that it didn't come across that way with Nancy too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted October 30, 2010 Members Share Posted October 30, 2010 Heh never heard of that one. I think I remember reading the Bo/Marlena one sometime right after sub-sex and Bo the Mime. It sounds unbelievable, but at the time after those two stories had occurred I wouldn't have put it past them to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2010 Seeing Marlena on a Harley might have been interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted October 30, 2010 Members Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hey, she might've looked pretty hot... loved her hair and total look in 2000, with her hair grown back out past her shoulders and sometimes she'd curl it up... She'd still look like she was dating her "brother" though. He wears the leather jacket while she wears a sensible blazer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
