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 didn't wanna "ruin" it for you if Raven hadn't left on her midnight trip to London yet.  But based on where she's going -- and who she'll be staying with -- you can assume there will be some drama when she returns! I believe she even says to Logan or Eliot Dorn before she leaves, "My stepfather, Ansel Scott, always had a 'thing' for me!" lol.

      Greg and Paige were an interesting choice for a couple.  I do think the lack of focusing on the generational differences hindered their long term potential. I think Laura had learned to keep her feelings close to her vest, especially after the hell she went through in her early years on the show.  The last scene of her trying to keep her tears inside as she drove away was the first time we had seen Laura really express what she was feeling after two or three seasons of her keeping her true self hidden from everyone.. even Greg.

      I guess my hunch may be right about her. I'm still very split about it. My husband thinks she is a joke, doesn't like her acting and thinks she is over the top. At the beginning I liked her a lot... And I definitely don't agree with my husband about her acting... But still something just puts me off when Felicia is on screen. It's like they are pushing her to be this grand dame too much. It doesn't come off natural, but very staged and superficial. Wearing a head piece and a gown doesn't make you suddenly be that. In most cases it makes people look foolish... when they are still wearing a huge hat while sitting in someone's ugly kitchen talking about stuff. To me... the actress and character shine the most when she seems down to earth and talking through something troubling. When the fluff and glitz is less and the REAL is more. When they act like she is Joan Crawford that's when I start wondering what is going on. She isn't. And some of the wardrobe choices for her have been horrific.  Of course all of these impressions are personal ones and I don't claim to know what the character will become in the future or what it was when she started.  I'm only saying my natural response to her now.   Then I'll blame him too! Thank you for the compliment. I'm sorry to respond so late but that's the first time I'm reading these comments.   More like criticism to the show and the way they are portraying her. I still like the actress a lot.

      Mid 1979 to mid 1981 was A+ quality for the show.   I even found things to like about the show in the final year or so when the quality had somewhat declined.

      From what I heard, the actress playing Leslie opted to leave so instead of recasting again.. they killed her off.   Holly brought it on herself by lying and pretending Christina was Ed's child.  Although I do think that Rita's actions with withholding that message from Ed weighed upon her.   Even though she won Ed in 1976, she realized over time that she never truly had him. There was no Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.  Tim and Evie dated after Rita broke up with him (which happened before Evie and her mother came to Springfield).  Ironically Tim did to Evie what Rita previously did to him... leading someone on that you're not interested in.

      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.
