Members YRBB Posted October 27, 2018 Members Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I find it funny that people always say something along the lines of, "Marlena got possessed and started levitating" (likely because it's one of the most memorable things about the storyline), but the actual levitation didn't happen until at least 6 months after the start of the story and was part of the climax/finale. There is an episode where Marlena is growling as the exorcism begins and it's genuinely scary/creepy. But Caroline's armchair rocking/scaring her was hilarious, and it wasn't meant to be. Peck is starting to develop some really hot chemistry with Clarke. When he kisses her, you half-expect him to rip off her clothes and take her right there LOL It's good to see Sami back. I love when Billie and Austin talk about their past; it really works. Funny how Peter spoke of Aremid and going there with Jennifer the next day for a trip. It's been 2 days (in show's universe) since then, and no mention of it.... Guess Reilly either just wanted to introduce it or came up with something else he'd rather do first.

Members j swift Posted November 18, 2018 Members Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Does anyone recall Evan Wyland, because I have questions? I know he returned from Hawaii in 1982 with his fiance Sandy Horton and then he has surgery and dies, How long was he gone? Did he leave because of Stuart? Was he complicit with his father? Why did Stefano and Tony strong arm Stuart out of his house and out of Salem? Any more information would be appreciated.

Members Bright Eyes Posted November 18, 2018 Members Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Evan left in March 1982 and returned in July. He left town after losing custody of Sarah to Mickey and Maggie. He was not complicit with Stuart. It was heavily implied that after Stefano shopped Stuart to the police over his dirty dealings, he had him killed in prison.

Members j swift Posted November 18, 2018 Members Share Posted November 18, 2018 Thanks @Bright Eyes , I finally found the summary online. It seems that when Evan came back to Salem with Sandy everyone wondered why he would come back to town given the Sarah debacle. However, Evan had inherited documents from his father that proved Stefano's guilt as part of "the syndicate." Never one to miss an opportunity, Evan blackmailed Stefano for a million dollars. In return, Stefano caused a car accident in which Evan was fatally injured. He had to have Sandy as his surgeon, and Alex Marshall changed medical files, so Evan was exposed to penicillin, which caused a deadly reaction. Also, here's a twist of which I was unaware - Neil switched his sperm sample for Stuart's because he didn't want Maggie to have Stuart's kid, and Evan was lying the whole time that Sarah was his daughter. I knew Neil switched the samples, but I was completely unaware of the Stuart twist. It is so odd to think that Liz, Maggie, and Marie were younger during that story than Jennifer and Hope are today. I guess it was that I experienced them as a kid, but they seemed so much more mature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Did Neil switching Evan's sperm with his happened in 1981? I always assumed Neil's sperm switch was a retcon. Done in 1991. Edited November 18, 2018 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted November 18, 2018 Members Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) @victoria foxton - total retcon, that reeks of a change in writers - Evan came to Salem to be involved in Neil's IVF program with his wife who died in car crash, so how Stuart's specimen got into Neil's lab strains credulity. In 1991, Sarah was in a minor accident, and Neil admitted the switch to Maggie, and to explain his reasoning, (because it was very unethical and Maggie should have sued him rather than slept with him) he told her the tale about Stuart's sperm. Also, interesting that Neil would feel such guilt over Sarah's minor accident, but later felt no compunction about leaving her behind when he went out to a mail a letter, never to return.

Members Wendy Posted November 18, 2018 Members Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'd forgotten how Neil left. He pulled a Don Craig? And hey, just think, just a year or two following Evan's demise, "Don" gained "Evan" as a black-sheep son...in California, so to speak.

Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted November 18, 2018 Members Share Posted November 18, 2018 Neil is make rounds in the hospital, Don Craig is the one still mailing a letter since 1985! I would love to see to see scenes of Maggie and Neil in 1991. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted November 19, 2018 Members Share Posted November 19, 2018 So annoying when writers take the time to revisit the past and then make a mess of it. They were looking for something to keep Neil, Mickey and Maggie in the story as a nod to vet viewers without introducing new characters or major plot thrusts. I think Corday said at the time that the story wouldn't be front burner but those three wouldn't just be 'hanging around Wings' (the meeting place of that time.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted January 3, 2019 Members Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Today I learned that Robyn, (ex-wife of Mike Horton and mother of Jeremy Horton), was the niece of Robert LeClare (ex-host at Doug's Place and father to Dougie/Charles). I had totally forgotten that Robert returned as part of Robyn's entry story (his son was in a French boarding school at the time of his visit to Salem). Which bar hosted Tom Horton's beat poetry?

Members Gray Bunny Posted January 8, 2019 Members Share Posted January 8, 2019 To be fair, it was one of the first things (levitating). She first levitated on Christmas Eve 1994. The show ended on that note and picked up the next episode with her still levitating. She didn't do it again until around May when they all walked in on her doing it (haha, that sounds funny) - John, Kristen, Stefano, Tony... right after John found Kristen on the rooftop of the penthouse building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jam6242 Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) I think Alex was actually shot in 1981 despite the caption on the promo. Edited January 23, 2019 by jam6242 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted January 26, 2019 Members Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) I nearly lost it when Austin, who has been trying to get Carrie back, walks into her apartment and just takes his shirt off. Please register in order to view this content Like, "You can't possibly deny me now! Just look at the muscles!" He then grabs her face and puts it on his humongous peck under the guise of having Carrie "listen to his heart" saying I love you. OMG.
