Thanks for posting this SOD synopses Carl!,

Did they even make it a big thing when Jill and Dru lived under the same roof?. I know Dru mentioned it in the 1992 Christmas Eve episode i uploaded, but it seems like Jill and Dru were too busy in their own lives to really interact as houseguests, and Dru quickly married Neil.

That party that Jack threw for Jill sounds like fun, I'm glad John put his foot down with Victor though. I wonder if Nikki had anything to say about Jill and Victor. It's amazing how in the early 90's (even before that) The Jill and Nikki animosity wasn't played onscreen till the late 90's/early00's and onward.

No Scott and Lauren mentioned in this one, must have been a quiet week for them.

They did. Granted i have never seen those episodes, but i read 1995 updates from the Google Message Boards. And there was once a youtube video that showed Dru,Olivia and Mamie go over to the Abbott house to confront Jill. Again hopefully more of those full scenes will come back up so we can see them in their glory.

Was race ever implied as a reason why Jill was so hostile? I know when Dru first started it seemed like there might be some class/race issues addressed on the canvas.

I wasn't able to watch that much at the time, so I mostly remember Dru with her family.

Somewhat.

The racial implication was definitely there (as was Jill's later issues with Mamie) however Bill kept Jill's overt issues to class.

Jill didn't feel Drucilla was "model material" & hated her outspoken personality (though she grudgingly respected Dru's ambition).

Drucilla admired Jill for her accomplishments & wanted to be like her (except for Jill's attitude :lol:).

That first scene is a real masterclass in acting. And the second just makes it even better...

I can't believe Katharine and Larry are so casually discussing Jill's bedroom games! Oh my.

It's great that stuff is getting uploaded from early 1990 (before the Sheila Saga)

Great scenes between Jack and John. Hard to believe that Peter was only playing Jack for about 3 months when this episode aired, but he really gave it all for this scene. I wonder if this is one of the scenes that won him his 1991 emmy?

I'm shocked that Jim was still on at this point.

Great seeing more of Adrian. Unfortunately from what i heard, he was part of the reason the Cassandra story went on forever.

    • Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?
    • Randall Edwards (and Brian Tarantina), with the opening night cast of 1985's Biloxi Blues, plus director Gene Saks and playwright Neil Simon.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.
