Believe me, it isn't b/c AH is so good in that role, lol. She just fell through the old cracks and keeping her around is easier than getting off their collective and respective duffs to look for a replacement.

Frankly, I just don't know which is worse: AH's limp-noodle take on Victoria, or JM's frat-boy take on Nick. And please do not get me started on the terrors that are Abby and Adam. Is there some way we could forget Victor Newman ever had children?

Thanks!

I have that episode and uploaded it before on my passnum1 channel it's from February 4, 1993. This is probably one of my favorites I have in my collection just because of the Lauren and Traci exchange and then the scenes where Eve visits Victor.

I guess this is one of the rare times they had Lauren and Traci interact in the early 90's till the stuff with Brad a year later......I'm glad they both remembered there issues with each other though I admit Traci really didn't have to go there with Lauren about her son.

I always thought they should have had Traci say something along the lines of how sorry she felt for Lauren when she heard about what Sheila did to her, but then say at the same time it's no surprise because she's such a bitch etc....

Heh, I spent the first day of my four day weekend looking up and watching classic ATWT when I came across it.

I just found it fascinating because it's definitely not the hapless saccharine Traci we know; instead she's just cruel here when confronting Lauren. In hindsight her words would come back to haunt her though between Lauren beating her up a year later and then later in 2001 when Steve cheated on her. Maitland looks fabulous here but Traci was on the way out by this point.

I think the show missed the boat when they killed of Colleen. They should have paired her with Lauren's son Scottie and the Lauren/Tracy feud could live on.

So many missed opportunities this show flushed down the toilet by hack writers and EP.

A Scotty/Colleen pairing always seemed like the obvious way to go. It's a shame that after the Sheila return story ended in early 2006, Scotty vanished then they got Adrianne Leon as Colleen shortly after. It would have been perfect considering their parents history, but they choose to ignore that as always.... Lauren and Traci should have both been grandmothers at this point yet they always have to make the actresses (Lauren particularly) appear more younger by giving them more and more pregnancies.

    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
