I'd forgotten how determined this truck driver (Vince) was about porking Ashley.  I don't blame him, she's pretty and all, but he's got a one-track mind.  

 

The dialogue from the motel desk clerk, Vince the truck driver, and Lorraine the gum-smacking, fur coat-stealing floozie is just HOWLINGLY bad.   "This dame", "This broad", "Yeah, I dig it."  Lord.

I'm hoping for more 1981...that seemed an interesting year with the Casey/Nikki stalker, Vanessa venturing more into the dark side, and seeing Jill living a middle class life (more of her being roomies with Eve and dating Andy).

 

I liked seeing Diane and Andy together in the 1984 clikps..classic story of a woman being drawn to the bad boy and not realizing until too late that she had the real thing.  The show revisited this in the 2000s with them..but it wasn't the same cause of Diane being recast

It seems like Andy was always an afterthought, treated poorly by Jill and Diane and never being a real romantic leading man. I've wondered why they made him Paul's friend and not his lesser seen brother Steven Williams. He was a little more developed than other supporting characters but never fully fleshed out.

What a treat: just took a quick peek into 1/18/1985 with lots of action at the Chancellor Mansion: Esther and Brenda Dickson's Jill sharing scenes, the rarely seen dining room of the mansion and of course Kay's lovely idea to show John and Jill some photos of her "winter cabin memories".

Andy's major story was Farren, the singer from 1986-1987... the rest not so much.

We’re reaching summer ’85 in the clips, when Terry Lester quit the show and then returned 2 months later after re-negotiating his contract.

 

He must have been in a very good position during contract talks.. not only was Jack part of the show’s hot new quadrangle, but Bill Bell was getting ready to finally bring the blackmail photo story to a climax… and that just couldn’t be done without Terry Lester.

Probably. Matt is brought into the quad again in the summer of 86 when Jack is convicted of Jill's shooting. Nikki and Jack were planning to shack up and then he pushes her away once he finds out he is going to jail. She moves on with Matt. Then when the Nikki is dying and Ashley is pregnant story occured, Matt is moved to Ashley (though nothing more than a friendship happens) The following year he leaves town

Summer '85 is also the time when Brock returned for a while, during a time when Katherine was "out of town" for a while, also when Terry Lester was absent for a bit.  Seems I recall they had Brock being friendly with Gina, Ashley & Jill, but they were all just friends.  Seems like he disappeared again about a year later, then made several more returns later on, some lengthy, some brief.

I had no idea Brock came back in 1985..it does seem like he was tested with Ashley, Gina and Jill..but nothing came of that.

 

He did come back again during the Marge doppelganger story..his return provided the push to resolving it.  He was tested with Nina some in 1989..but than he was gone again.

 

Jill and Nikki did seem not to interact much till 1999...but both were aware of one another before that.  Jack and Nikkik had one scene in 1992 where they were going to fix up John with one of Nikki's friends...but jack finds out about john and Jill..and he tells Nikki.  She rolls her eyes and said 'not that again ' lol.

    • Ok nevermind, Wolf is in Marian's getup on the Jan 9th episode. Lucy wakes up at the lighthouse and it's now Marian, drinking tea, and sounding like an old British woman a la Mrs. Doubtfire

       Wolf is actually doing a good job as Brett, but I don't think they made him look like a believable Marian - its too clown/drag, but also creepier - and Wolf has a large nose they couldn't hide. I guess at this point, it didn't matter since she was unhinged and revealing him/herself anyway.
    • This is the *new* Rachel Black who just started airing on DAYS 4/25/2025, but of course with the ginormous tape-to-airdate gap on DAYS, she'll be airing on DAYS for months to come. And yet now she'll be new ex-Rachel. LOL.
    • As someone who cut ties with the show a little while after Chris Van Etten came back, I can’t talk on what the show is like now… is the show that bad? But even as a rumour, that’s pretty wild and radical. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before.
    • Yes, I know JK is getting on in years, but perhaps he and his family (wife and/or son) could work with him as co-headwriters on the new TEON! I would also be available as a story consultant!

    • It's too bad they didn't see it through. Alan and Van could have married for all the wrong reasons and ended up caring for each other, with Ross in the wings and possibly Rita, too, to cause trouble. Rita was a LITTLE BIT of a schemer. She was kind of the Nola of her era, without the goofy personality. She deliberately went after Ed because she thought he would give her the lifestyle she wanted. She could do malicious things, i.e. cooly seduce Evie's crush (who was played by Jordan Clark, btw) and string him along until she was sure she had Ed. While Rita claimed to be deeply in love with Alan at the time she departed, part of the attraction for her was his money and power. As well as sharing aspects of Nola's character, she was also a more subtle version of Reva-she grew up poor and always wanted more than she had.
    • I'm not that surprised, in just the little we've seen of her she's been a complete natural. Even better than a handful of the adults.
    • Moving on to bigger projects (ex-Rachel Black, DOOL) https://deadline.com/2025/05/little-house-on-the-prairie-laura-ingalls-cast-alice-halsey-1236383465/

    • I liked that Steffy told Liam that he should tell Hope about his tumor. As acrimonious as Steffy & Hope are to each other, I'm glad they don't use their kids as pawns.
    • So early this morning, what I'm calling a crazy fan rumor, saying that the whole GH writing team is being replaced, wholesale, which I frankly don't believe. Wouldn't even post it except to warn others,  y'all, since you also may see it, read it, etc.  Of course what we will do is what we always do, watch the credits & find out what happens WHEN IT HAPPENS!!!
