Soon after RFK’s assassination, Bell wrote a letter that was published in Variety discussing the way Hollywood portrayed violence in tv and films.

Robert Scott Wilson posted this to his Instagram today.  I guess some CIN Stan’s have been harassing him about his girlfriend, lol.

Watching the 66 episodes has ne wondering about Floy Dean/Laura.

I guess it was Bill Bell who was unhappy with her portrayal?

Ted Corday had hired her on Morningstar and moved her to Days so obviously happy with her.

But Bill must have thought that long term with the story he had in mind, she was not suitable.

They lucked out with Susan Flannery.

Floy Dean was on Days, Morningstar and Young Marrieds over the course of a few years and hardly worked after that.

Because it's an awful idea?  Lol.  IIRC the show teased it, but I don't think there were any serious plans to pair them.  I assume if the fan response was good they might have went with Bo/Jen and John/Hope/Gina for a little while, but I remember most fans hated it.  Someone else may have a better answer,  but I think the media made more of it than what actually showed up on screen between them. 

I personally think it would have been a disaster considering the show was knee deep in the John/Gina/Hope nonsense with Zach just being born.

Happy "30th" Birthday, Brady

Idk either lol. I can't even remember any of their scenes together at any time on the show. It sounds similar to when they teased Doug and Maggie back in the late 70s. I don't know if I would have been a fan of either pairing, but they both sound interesting.

Yabbut the show would've known they were going to do that cover. That wouldn't have been the media on their own being provocative! It would have had to come from the show. I can't explain why they would have pitched such a cover to SOD! Covers were valuable to them. They would not have wasted one. It is a puzzlement.

Looking at recaps of the era "Bo and Jen hooking up" is literally referring to them bumping into each other in Ireland and teaming up to beat some random bad guy at the time.  That was SOD's misleading wording most likely.  I don't think any cover with PR and MR is wasted because they were popular at the time.  It's just a tagline to sell the magazine.  SOD used to do that all the time.  Bo/Jen were tested for a bit, but that cover doesn't accurately fit what was happening on the show in October 2000.  It wasn't even the lead story.  Brady running around like Gay Zorro and Belle almost getting run over by a train was the A story. 

Long story short, I don't think Days had much to do with it.  They probably just agreed to a cover about Missy/Jen's return since Bo is the first 'real' Days character she interacts with besides Abby.

    • I mean, he is but he's also still an ásshole.
    • The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.    
    • I don't hate Hayley but she would absolutely cry about falling for Jacob.
    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.
