Members Lye-C Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 Not my cup of tea. I forgot to mention I like paranormal/supernatural/gothic/sci-fi soaps. That’s what drew me in when I first heard about the show. That’s why I like Days: the possession, buried alive, Princess Gina, the microchip in Vivian’s tooth, Dr. Rolf’s back from the dead serum, etc. My other favorite soaps are Sunset Beach and Port Charles because they also embraced the supernatural. It helped that JER was storyline consultant for Sunset Beach in 1998. I’ve seen some Dark Shadows and liked it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 I would argue the issue with Melissa was never LT, but the show's inability to find a suitable love interest for her. In an era when supercouples reigned supreme she never had a pairing (besides Pete) that caught on at all. Jessica was dull from start to finish though lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 Even her battles with DID read as dull, and that's saying something, lol! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 So dull. Her story sounds so exciting on paper and then you watch her and her and Josh and you are like zzzzzzzzzzzzz.... Nick was the most exciting thing to come out of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 There was Pete Jannings & then there was that guy, the dancer, what was his name? And, don't look at me on Jessica. I don't see anyone sticking up for her. Not me. Hard pass. Please register in order to view this content I guess it's not great if I can't remember that tall drink's name, huh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 Lordy, lol! But at least we know who Nick's parents were. I'm still trying to figure out who fathered Nathan, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 Lars. Then she was with Jack and then Emilio who she ended up killing lol. I wonder if they were going to try to connect Nathan's father to someone on the canvas or bring his father on later, but nope. I guess we will never know. I wasn't even clear if Melissa was still married to Nathan's father or if he had siblings either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lye-C Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 Hopefully Melissa and Pete reconnected offscreen like Valerie and David did to conceive Eli. Melissa was shown pregnant with Nathan when she returned for Bo and Hope’s wedding in 1996. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) I agree. I could be wrong, but I don't think Mark Hapka/Nathan was very popular, so the fact that Nathan hasn't been mentioned at all since he left Salem likely guarantees that we'll never see him or Melissa again.

Members Lye-C Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 They didn’t bring Lisa Trusel back for Rogers’ 50th anniversary so they clearly aren’t interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 I think Nathan was pretty popular. Wasn't Hapka a bit of a problem though? Again, I don't know if we were ever clear if Nathan was an only child, so perhaps a brother or sister could show up. Since Nathan went by the last name Horton I would assume Melissa and his father aren't together still though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 I thought he was very popular. But, there was something ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 18, 2023 Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 I can't recall why I thought Hapka was a problem. I think he was fired and trashed his character or the show or something? It may not have been anything serious, but I don't think either side walked away with happy feelings after his stint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 19, 2023 Members Share Posted December 19, 2023 And now look where he is: lucky to get a part in a movie on LMN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 19, 2023 Members Share Posted December 19, 2023 Yeah, that really backfired for him lol. I think he was up for a few soap roles that didn't pan out either. Too bad. I thought he was pretty good. Nathan would be a better blast from the past ex for Stephanie than Everett these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
