I, too, dealt with a wolf in sheep's clothing - and from my church. Thankfully, he wasn't clergy or in any other position of power - just a fellow congregant. But I sure know the feelings of shame and guilt that go along with it.

 

Maybe JER had a similar experience and it managed to permeate his writing. If so, it would make a lot of sense. But what is other writers/producers/execs' excuse???

Wow, I'm so sorry for you, DaysFanatic and Amy, and the traumas you've had to face.  God bless you both for surviving and feeling strong enough to share such personal, painful memories with us.  #hugs

Dude, it made me stronger.  I'm fine now.

 

The funny thing is, when I told my parents I was bisexual, they blamed it on that.  That had NOTHING to do with it.  My great-grandfather left his wife for a man.  It's genetic. 

 

When it comes to my "loving" parents, they spent most of their careers ignoring my pain to get ahead.  

 

Religion isn't the killer, man.  It's greed. 

 

Now I am married to a woman and in an open relationship....she is a lot like me.  

 

It's not conventional, but I give no f#cks about what anyone may think.

Good for you!!

I wish I could say my sexuality is genetic as well.  AFAIK, however, no one else in my family (on either side) is gay.

Bro, I am already wasted!  Comon' if you are close enough! 

 

I live in the Rocket City (Huntsville, Alabama)....A bastion of reason in the cotton states.  

 

I'll admit it, this is a great place to live!!!  I have resided in 14 states, from California to Virginia.  Huntsville is an incredible place to live, shockingly.  I thought I would hate it here.  

 

No one that actually lives here is from this area, Praise the name of Jesus!  

Man, it doesn't matter.  You do what you do, and let the haters hate.

 

It's sad that we have to recognize the fact that people want to enforce their views into a private bedroom in 2019.  They need therapy, and some effective shock treatment.  

 

Why should anyone care about something so private?  

 

I Know Why!!!  I grew up in it!!!

 

Fanatical religion is a way to control things they do not understand, and they are afraid. 

 

That's their problem, I'll f#ck who I want to f#ck.

 to all of this!

 

I'm in Florida so not a huge leap from 'Bama  Glad to hear it about Huntsville! I've personally never desired to visit Alabama for a number of reasons, but I feel like I've always heard good things about Huntsville.

 

I have a lot to say on the matter of folks who seem so bothered by who is doing who in their own private bedroom ... but I'm in a pretty good mood today so I'll sip my coffee and check back in a little later

Actually, I think he was, Amy.  If there was any backlash against Jack and Jennifer's relationship, however, it was minimal.  Believe it or not, I think DAYS did a good job (comparatively speaking, of course) of redeeming Jack after Kayla's rape.

I did read somewhere that one of the early Jacks (two guys played the role briefly before Matt Ashford came in) treated Mary Beth Evans horribly - either verbal or physical (maybe both) sexual harassment. Stephen Nichols and Drake Hogestyn took exception to this and were very protective of MBE. The guy was fired in short order, and to my knowledge, never heard from again in the show biz world.

Yeah that would have been a good time to reintroduce the Hortons. I think the show cared about Nathan around this time. It felt like they were invested in him. Didn't he get Tom or Bill's medical bag or something? His exit was abrupt, around the same time Stephanie and Philip were written off when SH and JKJ left. Though Stephanie didn't really get an exit. Her last scene was at the Brady Pub warning Dario (the new flashy guy!) to stay away from Melanie. The Nathan actor was fired and he whined and tried to drum up support for a return, and during the MarDar "reboot" in Fall 2011 (when John, Marlena, Austin, Carrie and Jack came back) he leaked a "rumor" that Nathan was coming back too, LOL!

 

Anyway, I'm currently watching episodes from 1994 as I'm adding them to my playlist (link at the end of this post if anyone is interested).
I haven't reached Tom's death and funeral yet but I like how JER had already given the Hortons more focus again. He brought back Laura, Bill and Mike all within a few months. This is the first time I'm watching full episodes from 1994 since I originally watched them back in 1998 and I thought Bill just returned for a couple of episodes during the Lucas reveal. It's been a pleasant surprise to have him around for a longer stay. I'm enjoying his presence in Salem and his interactions with Laura, Jennifer, Alice and Kate. So sad Christopher Stone died a year later at such an early age.

Thanks for the playlist. I've been watching a private playlist. But I really enjoy 1994. I loved how JER brought back Laura, Bill and Mike. I too thought Bill was just around for the reveal but it was nice he stuck around longer.

 

And yeah around 2010 they seemed invested in Nathan. Bill gave him the medical bag, I believe. Would have been nicer if Nathan were Jeremy at the time ... (and Trevor Donovan's Jeremy never stood a chance with the awful writing, I was turned off instantly, and I like Donovan now a lot). I also thought it was a missed opportunity not to use Nick Fallon to re-introduce Marie (at least we saw Jessica for a hot minute in 2012!)

 

Now it feels like almost too much time has passed and it would feel weird to just plop, say Marie, back onto the show. And I know the show has literally no budget but I also always thought it was a mistake not to try and bring a few back every year at least for the Ornament hanging at Christmas ...

    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
