Lol.   Maybe because I know how the story ends I just feel like Kellam is so obviously bad, but he literally seems completely unlikable even when he's trying to be nice.  Idk, Don is a jerk, but Marlena is extremely dumbed down to make the Kellam thing seem plausible.

Definitely.  I just watch Kellam/Marlena interact and he's practically twirling his mustache next to her.   Kellam was not subtle lol.  It's weird Don/Marlena stay in limbo for awhile.  I know that's normal for a soap, but they are sort of broken up, but not really and it seems to drag for a longer than it should.  It's just all very silly in general.

The whole story seems pointless for lack of a better word.  Don/Marlena are arguing about Kellam/Liz, but one thing is a lot different than the other.  A Thanksgiving at a hospital with children and Kellam isn't the same as having sex with someone else.  And Don makes it seem like they are both sins to be forgiven.  Whatever, Don.  Marlena was trying.  John Black would never treat her in such a manner lol....

Also, side note on that clip.  Why was Deidre Hall/Marlena so excited Don could use a corkscrew lol.  Opening a bottle of wine isn't hard and it was one of those good wine openers too.  Maybe she just really needed a drink.

I forgot to add the image. Also, this is the same bible in which everyone finds out Mike is Bill's kid.

In the beginning, Bill states that he always believed that a son always got his dad's blood type and a daughter always got her mom's blood type -- and that the blood type was always going to be how everyone was going to figure this out. He then states that his medical consultant told him what actually happens. Me mentions how he (grudgingly) had to rewrite what he dreamed as the ending for the story. Originally, the doctor was going to ask for Mickey's blood and it wasn't going to be a match. Instead, both parents blood had to be drawn.

It appears Bill Bell became afraid that people would think the ending will be contrived.

 

I'll post that within the week -- I'm busy with my new job.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
