Chris's hat looked ridiculous,

Stafford looked like she was wearing little makeup, and it was nice to see Danny and Gina...


I thought the Nina/Victoria/Cole scenes were a little too over dramatic, and that Ryan the hypocrite was making a big deal out of nothing with Nina stopping by the ranch....

I didn't know Jill and John were still married and that Jill was still even living at the house....John was being so petty about Jill taking Billy to see Santa.

It seemed like the theme of the episode was men holding petty grudges with their spouses with Ryan/Nina and John/Jill....ironically Victor was the more agreeable man this episode....I didn't know Hope was even still around at that point.

I took that Ryan/Cole thing as meant to be ridiculous and OTT... nightmares don't usually make much sense, anyway.

 

The whole episode is such a showcase for Tricia Cast. She always delivers surprising line readings. Never predictable. Love her, always.

I think Scott Reeves OTT reactions killed it for me, but It's hysterical that Wee Little Ryan can actually  Kick Cole's Ass....LOL

I'm glad Nina got to be featured so much in this episode.....The following years leading towards her exit, gave so many demeaning things to her character, yet Tricia Cast's wonderful acting always made up for it....but it's still sad this was less then a year before Ryan and Tricia drove her mad, and almost drove her to suicide....

I didn't like a good number of the storylines from Fall 1996 through the first half of 1997. I was watching maybe a couple times a week back then, but I still followed along online and through the soap magazines.

Here's The first 2 January 1989 Dates I have neglected to post, but finally had time to do so!

 The first One has 2 parts because the episode was sent to me in 3 parts, and when I was using "editor" to turn it into one video, Part 3 wouldn't show up for some strange reason.

1/9/89 (1/2)

Oh, yes, for sure. His eyes went THAT big lmao And it was a bit of a stretch, although it was Ryan's dream after all! lmao

 

 

Demeaning things? What do you mean?

 

 

 

Certainly not one of the show's best eras. 

 

 

THANKS for the new eps, YRfan!

Ah, gotcha! I initially thought you might have meant the writing for Nina was demeaning. lol But, certainly, the next year or two were a bitch for her. I'm so happy with her 'exit' story, as it helped her grow, mature, become more secure, and successful, and she faced her biggest demon.

It just seemed Nina already went through a lot of issues by that time, and the fact that she always had a bit of self-esteem issues (or at least developed some) and Ryan goes off to be with Tricia, they really gave her a lot to deal with....

I agree she seemed to finally mature towards the end,though I didn't care for that short hair of her's, haha

    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
