Why did Sami and Chelsea hate each other? Skip to 7:48. Thats quite the heated exchange. Did Sami also hate Billie bc she calls her a whore in this clip. Its weird bc Sami asked Chelsea to be at her wedding and is quite cordial with her in the next clip. What happened between those episodes to get them to be so vile to one another? Or was this a different wedding? I cant keep track with Sami. Chelsea even insults her by saying "how many wedding dresses do you own by now?"

The first wedding was the 2005 "Stan" wedding and was written by Riley who just wrote Sami as hateful all the time. The second clip was right before the Sami/Lucas 2007 wedding and was during the whole Sami redemption arc therefore a kindler gentler Sami.

It seems JER really wanted a catalyst to push the Kristen/John/Marlena triangle in a certain directon and Tony was it. Thaao didn't really like what was happening to his character, and true enough Tony was acting out of character, Thaao I think even stated he started playing Andre around the time of Aremid, he seem to really feel Tony was losing his dignity as a character which I think caused tension between Thaao and JER.

JER also didn't like Victor much and that is why he was pushed out, again in less than a dignified fashion. I seem to remember rumours that John Aniston asked his daughter to beg NBC to get him back on the show.

This is all from memory so maybe someone knows more in depth.

The Tony of the early years and the one in the JER era seemed very different. It seemed like this became personal, with the way Tony was written when JER returned, and then some of Thaao's comments about him.

I thought the idea of having Andre as the one who did all that stuff was very good. Then they ended up killing Tony off again anyway.

Thaao started to play him more "Andre-like" when Tony arrived in Aremid. He also smoked which Tony never did. But from what I have read, Thaao didn't dislike the storyline. He called it a greek tragedy. But what Thaao didn't like or thought was hard was lying in a coffin in his last episodes because his mom and dad both died just a few days apart from each other. So playing dead in a coffin while mourning his parents must how been tough. But there was nothing personal with Relliy.

Then in 2002 he came back

Brash and Cwikly wrote that Tony fell into a coma and Andre was the one that arrived in Aremid.

Then in 2004 Tony was killed by the Salem Stalker and Thaao spoiled the story in some magazine. I think that was the moment that Thaao got an enemy in Reilly. During the Melaswen storyline Tony smoked cigars several times and Tony talked about how he cheated death when he framed John for his murder, Reilly ignored B&C's version of the story that it was Andre in Aremid. After Melaswen, the Castle and Iraq, Tony was sent to prison.

In 2007 Thaao came back but Corday felt that the character of Tony had been written into a corner and could never interact with the other characters in a normal way, so it would be just another round of him kidnapping or holding people hostage. Corday told Sheffer about Andre and that's how we got the big rewrite that Tony was put on an island in 1985 and everything since had been Andre. It created so many plotholes for the storyline in 1993-1995 and 2002-2003. If they wanted the psycho in 2004-2005 to have been Andre it would have been fine. He could have taken Tony's place in summer 2003 when Tony was in a coma but mysteriously disappeared when Bo and Hope were attacked as the fashion show.

AntonyDimera has uploaded something called "The Tony DiMera Project 1993-1995". I highly recommend it. He describe it as: The beginning of Tony's Godfather-esque fall to darkness.

Or... the beginning of a reformed Andre's return to villainy. However you wanna look at it".

Shortly after the reveal in 2007 Andre was killed off. Tony spent most of the time on the backburner before he was also killed off, in 2009. Corday told Thaao the death didn't have to be permanent and there was always a chance to come back. So far it hasn't happened. On Twitter, Thaao sometime sound like he wants to come back, and other times he sounds happy and has moved on. I personally would love to have him back. I want them to fix all the mistakes of the past when it comes to Tony and Andre but most people seems confused as it is already so maybe that would be too much for them.

It's very Irna Phillips. I guess at least he didn't kill Victor, as she would have done.

I don't have a lot of respect for Jennifer Aniston but I did like when she went on Rosie's show and basically said, hey, put my father back on the show!

    • Yep! Very curious to see where this goes. 
    • I was confused too, but I think it was always a "tribute thread" (this one and OLTL's were created when their cancellations were announced). They just changed the show abbreviations to their titles spelled out, I guess to make the board just a little bit more uniform. I was lost, too lol
    • Well... I am. I think she's losing her initial menacing presence. Slowly but surely. I need the crazy dialed back. But as I said... this is very miniscule negative reaction. I am loving the show right now. We'll see how they'll continue after the fireworks. 
    • Oh, I am so looking forward to the reveal about Laura's accident, and Nicole and Leslie having a real one on one.
    • I'm not seeing that right now. I'm stepping out on faith and believeing MVJ will not turn "Silk" into a ridiculous caricature.   
    • One little... very little... tiny... minuscule negative comment. I was debating if I should care to say it... In some ways... Silk has been acting clownish... I think they need to dial it back, because if this continues with the current pace... she'll be worse than Sheila in terms of getting totally predictable and not menacing anymore. TMG is one hell of an actress... I just want to see a more normal and less clownish Silkpress in the coming weeks*months. We need to dial down the wigs too. It's becoming a funny caricature and we don't want that. Maybe we do, I'm not sure. I just like her more menacing and sinister than... "Hahhahahah what is she wearing today". That's a personal preference.   So far... I am okay with it... but I have fears this may turn into a really tired joke in the future. I want TMG as long as possible on my screen!  
    • Not really short-lived as GH went to color in 1967, so the blue background actually lasted about twice as long as the black background. You can see it at the very beginning of this set of clips from 1974:

      Also would like to put it out there in the universe, as I often do, that the wait for any AMC from 1972-1976 has been too damn long. At this point, it is the only long-running soap (10+ years) that has absolutely zero video clips from that time period online. We have either whole episodes or clips from every year of the show's run except those five, which happen to be the exact years when one of my favorite characters I've never actually seen, Margo Flax, was a major player. Justice for Margo, please.
    • Both EE and Corrie remind me of RC's OLTL, where maybe, just maybe, if we keep bringing up the past in cheesy, forced ways, the audience will transfer their positive memories of better days onto what we're giving them now. I used to love that kind of crap, but it became so constant and transparent with OLTL, not to mention obnoxious as hell. Like when they had KDP singing the Peabo Bryson theme over the opening sequence for an episode or two. I've been reading little blurbs about Sonia's exit, and they all mention trumpets as if the she had grown up and became a trumpet virtuoso. It's too sitcommy to me, just like Bianca being damn near 50 and still wearing the jacket and hoops. But then they like to introduce new young female characters and put them in a metallic jacket and hoops so that the audience will like them right away. Things just hit better when it's more of an "If you know, you know," type of thing. Like Max watching Stacey's plane leave in 2010 as Stacey gazes down at the Thames in reference to the opening sequence...just like when Phil watched Kathy's plane leave in 1998 as Kathy gazed down at the Thames in reference to the opening sequence. It's like the more "iconic" the original scene is, the less effective the later allusion to it is. B&B and Y&R recreating their first scenes were perfect because we don't get hit over the head with how incredibly iconic those scenes were to begin with.
    • Ted has been too-good-to-be-true-on-the-surface guy from the get go. It's always these guys that end up having a secret mistress with 2 children on the side or are secretly bisexual and sleeping with men while they wifey thinks she is living the dream. Even the way Dani was talking about them in the beginning... I knew it was coming. The show was hinting at it. And it came.  I have nothing against the show writing a second affair, when it's used to present this exact type of message. That the two sisters end up dealing with a similar catastrophe. I would have had problems with it... if it was not written the way it is. But I have no problems with it right now. And I love how the focus is not just on the affair, but on Ted's overall character. His dark side. And, no, you don't need to be a serial killer or a lunatic with a knife to be a bad guy. Sometimes just making bad decisions that end up hurting your entire family makes you that.   
    • Oh, really? I didn't see that at all. Ted's only been loving and supportive, even with this reveal I still haven't seen anything too dark from him. Shitty father and husband, sure. My one nitpick is that they could have accomplished that without having another affair though.
