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.

    • I really didn't start watching the show until season 12 when I was a teen, so I only caught the last three years. I LOVED the show over all though...even that part of 13 that was a bit messy! So, it's been a treat streaming the previous seasons on Plex. I'm amazed at how well so much of the writing holds up over 30 years later. Far better than a lot that we get today! For the most part, stories move along at nice pace with good twists and turns! I just finished season 11, so I'm finally picking up where I started watching all those years before. When I started watching as a teen, Laura had already died, so while she was mentioned pretty often, I didn't have much background with the character. CM was an amazing actress and had chemistry with everyone. So, it's a bit of a headscratcher that they didn't seem to have any idea of what to do with her starting at around season 7. Her scenes at that point are mostly short, brief, and she has very little true story right until the episodes where she's dying in 9. I wonder what it was about the character that the writers couldn't figure out what to do with her. Also, Ben's exit storyline was a bit confusing for me. I never really got who this woman was who was stalking him and this "secret organization." The whole plot seems like it should be on a different show. Michelle Phillips and Nicolette Sheridan have really fun mom/daughter/frenemies chemistry. I remember having a huge crush on PP's Michael and being disappointed when he was written out at the end of season 12. 
    • mayoclinic: Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can: Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration. Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment. Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements. Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are. Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate. Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people. Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important. Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them. Take advantage of others to get what they want. Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others. Be envious of others and believe others envy them. Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited. Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office. At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can: Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment. Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted. React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior. Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior. Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change. Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail. Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection. Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure. --- Or maybe Leslie simply has Soap Villain Syndrome.
    • Ambryn Michelle and Trisha Mann-Grant are easily the most charismatic actresses to grace daytime in a longggggggg time. This show wouldn’t be as good without them, IMO. 
    • whatever she has is far worse. Narcissism is just a symptom for deeper issues.

    • What is it? I already know Ambyr was electrifying.
    • The show isn't great right now, but I do hope it can stay on, unlikely as that may be. I guess at least it's better than this time last year. I will say it doesn't really feel like Shortland Street anymore.
    • You guys are going to die when you watch the first scene of today's episode.
    • True. We agree here. She is far from done.
    • Jacob's brother is named "Luke" and their mother is named "Darlene", for the sake of specifics and all.
