WOW - those 60s/70s flashbacks were everything. The Horton legacy never looked better. Please release the full footage someday!

I was amused to hear him talking about being surprised by Ben's redemption, and Johnny's infamous red suit -- no surprise vane actors prefer a high-heeled boot.

March/April 2001

Loved the scene where Victor reveals he is alive to Kate in the ashes of the burnt down Kiriakis mansion. I can’t wait to see how Kate claws her way out of this now that she will lose everything. Also, Nicole dying Victors hair that awful brown box dye was hilarious. 

I had no idea Maggie and Marlena were best friends. I guess Maggie became stuck in this supporting role years ago to help prop up storylines for other characters. I’ve only seen her 3 times in 2001 and it was all involving John/Marlena. 

The back and forth with Jack and Jen is getting old now. Now they’re going to be living together. Alright, I guess it might make for some funny scenes with them being constantly annoying eachother but either get back together or stfu about it. 

The Brady and Chloe tension is building. I still say Brady is gay because he criticizes Chloe like a gay man would and it’s hilarious. I’m curious to see when it takes a turn though. Philip is gorgeous but he and Chloe, not a good fit. 

Austin has to be the most indecisive person on this show. He wants Sami but he’s not sure.. he’s also not sure if he’s into Greta. I think he just likes the attention. Sami and Brandon are hotter anyways but Sami’s obsession with Austin does make her interesting. 

Lucas is in the hospital fighting for his life from the fire Kate started. I’m curious to see how that develops because if I didn’t know any better I’d say the show is 100% killing him off. He’s been very underused in the year 2001 so far.

Bope are starting to get more airtime too now with Glen and Barb prying into the baby mama drama and they already just figured out Lexie and Abe adopted Glen’s baby but I’m assuming a DNA test will be done and it will come back negative because obviously it’s Bo and Hope’s baby Lexie has, not his. Stefano and Lexie’s scenes are so fun to watch and I love Lexie being tempted to the dark side.

I'll preface this by saying that I don't know how close Marlena and Maggie were back in the 70s and 80s before Marlena was presumed dead. But I do seem to recall that they didn't have much to do with each other in the 90s. By 2001, Maggie had been supporting role for the past decade since her affair storyline with Neil Curtis had pretty much flopped back in '91.

Meanwhile, Marlena's previous confidants, Laura and Kim were no longer around. Kate (who'd been close with Marlena back when Deborah Adair was in the role) was too busy warring with Sami for a close friendship with Marlena to remain plausible, while Hope and Marlena's friendship were severely strained because of the whole Princess Gina/sub sex/baby paternity drama. And of course Lexie was too preoccupied with Isaac and being tempted over to the dark side to be friends with Marlena.

So you end up with Marlena and Maggie as best friends by default, although I assume they did have some sort of friendship back in the day so its not as if it came entirely out of nowhere.

This is why I love posting my thoughts in this thread because I know there are posters here with deep knowledge of the show going back years. As someone who is watching these classic episodes with fresh eyes, I love reading about all of the backstory. 

I wanted to start watching from 1993ish but the poster needs to format those episodes to be watchable and not just for download. So I will wait patiently and continue enjoying the 2000s until then. My Days knowledge is so limited though. I only watched during brief summer breaks around 2003-2007ish so I’m obviously familiar with all the main characters (John, Marlena, Bo, Hope, Sami, Austin, Victor, Kate, Shawn, Belle, and so on and so fourth). It’s been fun to delve more into all these characters.

At some point, Victor, you must blame yourself that both Caroline and Fiona didn't want him to know they bore his sons.  But, looking back, I thought Bo would be richer as Victor's firstborn son than he turned out to be.

    • I have to say that I was honestly surprised by the exit this week. With spoilers and casting news, it is tough to pull off an honest shocker, and this shooting actually made gasp out loud.  I would bet many of you would enjoy it, if you watch it more regularly, I know that has been my experience this month.  
    • I believe she is talented and maligned for a reason. I fundamentally disagree with what she thinks soaps should be. And I am far from a traditionalist when it comes to the genre. There are many direct sources of her behavior and bad decisions, and my own eyes watching ratings decline after sweeps bumps on her her shows, it’s pretty clear she survived in power, especially at GH, specifically because the genre was declining. I will not further derail this thread with JFP unless it is pertinent. But I finish with this. She was asked directly over the years if she regretted killing Maureen off from Guiding Light. And for years she said she did. But someone pinned her down when she was at Y&R the first time, Michael Logan perhaps, and she admitted what she regretted and would never do again is making the audience care so much about a character right before killing then off. The tragic nature of the story leading into killing Maureen is what she regrets, not that she misjudged the audience, or that she didn’t have the foresight to see how destabilizing that was going to be for that particular show.    
    • If they bring back Connie, that kooky lady who kidnapped Melinda, or if Stephanie's stalker is a crazed fan, or if it is something based on her book, I may pluck an eyelash.
    • I feel very bad for BF that Giggly Heffa is being forced onto him.  At least BF looked yummy in a scene that otherwise was very icky to watch. I still can’t believe Flynn took this role. He also seems a tad bored/underwhelmed sometimes I almost see the regret in his face. 
    • Darn MM!

        I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the hotness thread.  
    • Liking Mansi is not the issue. The character has flopped and it is clear FV has downgraded her after making a hard, hard push for Kristina in her most unwatchable state. Or what @DRW50 said.
    • It's cute he thinks I haven't had him on Ignore for what, a decade? Oh, no, almost half that I guess. Maybe if we start reporting him for his multiple rule violations our mod team will finally dispose of him and he can go tell Bluesky or Soapcentral all about how he met Ed Trach 200 years ago.
    • I'm putting money on Kat trying to harm Eva or at least doing it by accident. That's the second time she's said something that implied that she wants Eva gone permanently. But Martin really shouldn't have been talking about Kat to Eva because that further makes the already bad situation worse.
