DAYS Classic: I'm doing a project about Real Roman, OG Roman, Wayne Northrup as Roman. It's called Roman, a jerk or not a jerk? 
11-15-91 Day 1 not a jerk.
11-17-91 Day 2 not a jerk.
11-18-91 Day 3 not a jerk.
11-19-91 Day 4 not on. 
11-20-91 Day 5 not on.
11-21-91 Day 6 not a jerk. Far from it. Romantic, funny, kind, talkative, gentle, absolutely at his best. 
11-22-91 Day 7 not on.
11-25-91 Day 8 not a jerk.
11-26-91 Day 9 not a jerk.
5-16-94  Day 10 not a jerk even though Marlena lies to him & tells him she's having a wonderful time with John, made to say so on phone by Stefano. Roman knows their marriage is over. 
11-27-91 Day 11 Roman not on.
11-29-91 Day 12 Roman not on.
4-8-94 Day 13 Not a jerk. 
4-11-94 Day 13 Not a jerk. It is clear to me that Marlena still wants to be with Roman. But he is going forward with a divorce. She wants him to forgive her. He can't stand that she loved John in the same way that she loved him.
12-2-91 Day 14 Not a jerk.
12-3-91 Day 15 Not a jerk.  Roman & John on hands & knees crawl into the Mayan pyramid. Outside Izzy & Marlena are awkward. Bo is mostly running from somewhere to here. Roman & John have to work together, which they do. Just as they finally get somewhere Lawrence & Gretchen catch up with them & hold them at gunpoint. Suddenly Stefano appears only we only hear him & see his shoes. It is not Joe Moscolo. Victor is chained to the wall. Carly finds him & frees him.
12-4-91 Day 16 Not a jerk. (12-31-23) No idea who is playing Stefano but their accent is horrible! John finally acknowledges that he is not Roman. Roman looks forward to putting his family back together, beginning with Marlena as his wife. She has a funny expression on her face as he expresses this.

While I appreciate your viewing and work I still think you have a broad take on Roman being a jerk.  I don't think Roman is a bad person or evil, but I think there are a lot of scenes that frame him as slightly misogynistic and kinda jerk-y.  I find him especially pushy with Marlena in the 1991 era to just pick up where they left off.  I would also suggest a lot of 1992 where he only cares about his job and not Marlena's.  After the affair, it's hard to blame him exactly, but Marlena was more than willing to make it work.   The affair is wrong, but it's a set of extraordinary circumstances that no one in real life is dealing with and I do think Marlena would have never cheated on him again.  Roman uses Sami's trauma to almost weaponized Marlena's flaws and I find it ugly.  Plus he just bails soon after.   Who would leave their traumatized children like that?  He was mad at their mother not them.

Roman then remained incommunicado for years and took the most dangerous ISA missions with no regard to his family while Marlena and John openly faced their actions and consequences.  Again, Wayne was fired, but that's kind of shitty behavior.  It's not like Carrie and Sami were living their best lives drama free while he was gone.

Maybe his last episode? I remember when he died and checking what his last episode was, it mentions Kate's Old Apartment, so maybe they had a Kate/Curtis newly-created flashback, which ended up being his last Days appearance.

Well, I've just begun Dec. '91 so everything you say about after is stuff I've not re-watched yet. And, there's really nothing I can reply with except that when I watch it, I will see whatever I see. I know that in watching clips in the Ugly-X traffic that very frequently I would disagree with whatever was being captioned as the set-up to the clip and/or the reactions to what was seen. For example on the rare occasions when Roman & Marlena would have a fight I would see two people, both reasonable, both loving each other & having history & because of circumstances beyond their control they would have an argument or a fight & I would see good communication between people in a rough situation. Others would see Marlena as perfection & Roman as some sort of gargoyle. 

But, you have hit upon the thing that finally made me decide to do this project & that is that the very idea of Roman being a misogynist is so patently offensive to me that it warranted doing something. Roman historically is not only a good person but a very good person, a hero. There's no way a hero can be a misogynist. There's a whole range of people's reactions to RealRoman in the 90s. On one end people who say Wayne had really crummy writing. On the far other end are those who label him a misogynist. In between you find jerk, male chauvinist, and some people talk about us being a product of our times. 

From watching The Doctors back in its original run as a teen & re-watching it now, I am feeling some of that!

See, I think how I would feel if I were in his position. Right now he has kissed her twice. Both times she first responded & then pulled away, to talk.

I definitely think this is a topic very open to discussion.  I can find a lot of things I don't love about Roman, but I do have a John/Marlena bias.  They just work better IMO.  I guess I don't think Roman was an awful guy, but I do think he could have considered Marlena's feelings more. The actual position Roman was in was so awful post 1991.  People just liked John better lol?  My biggest complaint is how they wrote him off and it does make him a bit of an ass.

And, we all have our biases & I was a huge RoMar fan. For the longest time I couldn't stand Drake. And it was ridiculous to consider him Roman. I mean, he just wasn't. So, the cop & the doc fans still exist. And there are places where you can talk about this & there are places where you just can't.

    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      Me when someone asks me to be proper and demure. 
    • This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.  
    • Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).
    • I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc
    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
