I think this was brought up not too long ago, but I don't think Shane/Kayla were as awful as they are made out to be.  I would agree it's a bit more interesting to analyze than watch though lol.  

There is of course the question of whether Kayla or Shane would ever do that to Kim, but in the larger sense it works for both characters.  MBE/CS had a nice chemistry and worked well together.  Considering both had just gotten out of these huge, messy, supercouple relationships I don't think either were looking for a great love match.  As both Shane/Kayla were the less chaotic part of their former relationships, I could see the appeal of getting involved with someone more steady and stable.  

I do like Kayla finally standing up for her family.  She and Shane wanted to be together.  Why should everyone pressure her to give up her happiness just because Kim was sad?  Kim had a lot of chances to make it right with Shane and said she moved on.  So Kayla should just be pushed aside again because Kim changed her mind?  I say that as a bigger fan of Kim than of Kayla.

Anyhow, to me it always seemed obvious this was a way to burn out MBE and CS's remaining contracts and not a serious endgame match.   With SN gone and PP having some personal issues it really made sense with what the show had to work with at the time.  I am not saying it's an amazing story, but it's far from the worst story of that era.

@carolinegWell, I certainly totally respect your right to disagree & have an appreciation for the reasons you lay out, but, I still am going to continue to name Kayla & Shayne as one of the worst pairings DAYS ever attempted. And, honestly, I did not think Kim gave her sister a hard time over it. She was pretty cool about it & they had a number of good sister scenes where it was clear they were very okay with each other. I think for me it's just too icky. The scene with the two of them, with their little ones, in the airplane, with turbulence, is a lovely scene.

Because I am curious, what pairing or pairings do you find objectionable?

I could probably name 50 Days of our lives pairings more offensive than Shane/Kayla.  It didn't involve coercion, deception, violence, brainwashing, or manipulation and lies.  It was just a relationship between two decent people that were deeply hurt at the time and ended amicably.  

Did I like the pairing?  Not especially.  Was it shady what they did to Kim?  Sure.  But in the end it's a blip on the radar for both characters and Shane/Kim and Kayla/Steve as love stories.  I am not saying it was a fabulous idea.  I just don't think it was as awful as everyone makes it out to be.  It actually helps explain a lot of nuances of the Brady sisters and the Brady family as having clear favorites.

Clearly you are looking at one of the really "low bars" when it comes to pairings on DAYS. Obviously I would be 100% against any pairing that involved any of that. I have zero curiosity about any pairing that would qualify so utterly poorly. I was thinking only in the realm of real couples, not trash.

I think you are confusing me defending some interesting aspects of the story as a full endorsement of Shane/Kayla as a couple.  I am not.  It was clearly widely panned by the audience and critics.  I just think, especially in rewatch, it was as awful as everyone says it was.  You have seen Days the last 30 or so years, right?  A short term romance with Shane/Kayla is not even close to being one of the worst pairings or ideas ever.   I don't even think it was the worst pairing on Days that year.

I've narrowed it down to the first week of May. According to the Jon-Michael Reed recaps, "Don broke up a hair-pulling, name-calling cat fight between Liz and Marie." By the end of the week, Liz had shot Marie after mistaking her for a prowler (and after having shtupped Neil).

Peter Reckell's debut episode I just noticed, but I think I only have the script pages regarding Bo in that one. I see in my notes that I have many pages of the 5/2/83 script, so I'll check in the filing cabinet, see if anything can be found of Liz/Marie.

    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
