FROM THE VAULT: EPISODE # 3345: FEBRUARY 1, 1979

At David's Apartment, Stephanie covers her slip of calling Trish by name by saying she recognized Trish from her picture. Stephanie tells Trish she understand her marriage to David was one of convenience, and so she won't mind now that Stephanie and David are in love and want to get married as soon as David gets the divorce. This information saddens Trish.

At Marlena's Gatehouse, Samantha surprises and delights Marlena with her unexpected arrival. When Samantha brings Jerry Rhinehart in, Marlena is somewhat cool towards him. Jerry explains to Marlena that he was just doing his job in the custody case, and he's sorry about the Hortons. Marlena's attitude softens and she apologizes for her previous coolness. Marlena and Samantha fill one another in on what's been happening to them. As Marlena goes out of the room, Don enters and thinks Samantha is Marlena. Samantha goes along with it, teasing him when he doesn't approve of her short hair. When Marlena reenters, and starts giggling behind him, Don realizes he's been had. When Marlena comments to Don about how well Samantha seems to be doing, he says he can't help remembering what she did to them in the past, and he doubts if he will ever be able to forget. Marlena defends Samantha by saying that she was really sick then, and she doubts if Samantha will flip out again as long as she stays away from drugs and alcohol.

At Mary's Studio, Chris and Mary are discussing the fact that Chris and Bob have resolved the mess with Chuck Merrill finally. Chris mentions how strange it was that Stephanie knew about the forged contract, and then they dismiss it. Mary tells Chris she went to see Linda and while Bill explained Mary's conversation with Melissa, Mary still doesn't believe the amnesia bit. Mary, in a pensive mood, tells Chris she really doesn't know him, he's always been silent about the women he's been in love with. Chris mentions he was in Vietnam, but the experience was so painful, he doesn't want to think about it.

At Julie's Apartment, Hope comments to Doug and Julie on how nice it is for the three of them to be together for a change. After Hope leaves the room, Julie tells Doug how conscientious Steve has been in making amends for the fake antique boxes. They're in such a mellow mood that Doug decides not to go to work. Julie and Doug are cuddling on the couch, during a rare evening together, and Julie tells him she'd like to start a family and have a baby.

There are clips lurking about from this episode, actually. Particularly the scene between Mary and Chris discussing his reluctance to talk about his time in Vietnam. This was among Ann Marcus' last, as you can see her steamrolling ahead with her story she wanted to tell about Chris having a partner and child in Vietnam (presumably to come interrupt his wedding to Mary). Corday and/or NBC flatly refused to allow Marcus to tell the story, and fired her shortly after this. Ultimately, she brought the story with her to Love of Life shortly afterward.

Thanks! Don STILL can't tell Marlena and Sam apart after the whole fiasco AND Sam apparently having a different haircut!!?  Even putting aside clear physical (and voice) differences, does Don even look at his wife or know her at all?  Lol

 

I always was intrigued by that Vietnam story and the details everyone on here had about it.  I don't think Chris holds up as a particularly memorable character (as in no one would really talk about him much without the Josh Taylor of it all) but this sounds like it could have been a memorable, stand out story for him.  Was that still a terribly taboo subject in 1979?  Oh well, at least we know Savannah and Chris own a gym now.

      Not mad at Leslie Locking Eva out, I think it's important for the audience to see her on her own for a while. Curious how scrappy and savvy on her own. Yeah, I am with you there. It feels a bit hollow; maybe if she was talking to Martin and Kat I would feel better about it. There must be more to this story. Daphnee and Ambry owned this episode. Tugging my heart in every scene. Nicole process hurt and anger much differently than Dani though.

      I also really enjoyed Eva's scenes with Kat today. They have an interesting chemistry. I thought it really did feel a bit like sisters at conflict. Especially with the way that Eva was trying to convince Kat to forgive Ted and them both coming to the conclusion that the man they thought was their father was different wasn't who they really thought he was initially. And the way that Eva broke down when Kat said that she was dead to her was emotional stuff. I really do think that in spite of their conflict/bickering Eva really would have loved to have gained a sister, along with a brother, father, etc... Also, I thought it was interesting how Eva kept saying that she loves Ted and Nicole. That and Leslie mentioning that Kat/Eva are almost twins really does make me wonder if Kat may really be her twin and Nicole's as well. I would gladly welcome that outcome, even if it takes a while for it to come out. At this point Leslie doesn't deserve Eva as a daughter as far as I'm concerned. And I would forward to a storyline where we found out that she's Nicole's second baby girl, and all the complex and ultimately happy feelings that would bring Nicole. Eva/Kat could still have a rivalry, especially if Nicole ended up doing some more bonding with Eva. And then we could get the rest of the family's reaction to that as well.

      Everything is fraught with confusion. Why is Leslie pleading with the Duprees to accept Eva? She's not biological family so what is this? She's the product of an affair with their in-law so Leslie wants them to accept her? I'm getting GOOD TIMES vibes of Leslie and Eva minus the physical abuse.

      Big fan of today's writing. In particular, I like EJ complexity, crying over Johnny and conspiring at the same is tough to pull off in the same episode, but it goes very far in explaining EJ's motives. I don't hate the idea of Cat and EJ, and I especially appreciate everyone trying to warn her, but she is sticking to the plan. Boy oh boy, when Brandon Beemer wears a shirt that matches his eyes, I get lost in the screen!

      Yeah, I think that Leslie's speech would have had a bit more of an impact if Ted had been the Dupree's son, with Nicole being the daughter in law they loved like a daughter. But being that he's the son in law, and that Eva (at least not right now) isn't technically a Dupree, it doesn't hold as much weight. They aren't caring much for Ted right now and their feelings could be trickling down to Eva. Though, I do think they have some sympathy for her. I really enjoyed today's show. Loved a stripped, down hurt but still strong in her resolve Nicole. DD continues to shine and shows why she is IMO the heart of the show. I felt her words, and anger at Ted and how she broke down in Kat's arms at the end. She is just wonderful all the way around. I also loved the way that Anita read Leslie. She was spot on about her and how mishandled everything with Ted and Eva. And speaking of Leslie... I immediately thought the same thing once I saw that scene. That what she exhibited was trash behavior. I don't think she's a good mother. In fact, I think she's lousy. Granted, I have missed some episodes, but I haven't really seen her do anything to indicate that she really cares for Eva or her well being. All she's really done is try and manipulate/use Eva for her own agenda since she came to town.

      I thought Brandon C was much more believable as Martin today.  Before, I watched an actor trying to portray a character.  Friday and today, I simply felt the character.
