Neil and Victoria started off as interesting as they were friends who started feeling romantically towards each other.However,I recall it was way too rushed as a few weeks passed and they were deeply in love.

what was ridiculous was that Neil had broken up with Dru because of her career and the demands it placed on them. However,he didn't have an issue with Victoria even though she was presented as a high powered businesswoman.

Also,the interracial aspect was not addressed by one single character,even in passing.It was not believable that everyone would be so accepting to not even mention it.

Thanks for posting this soapfan 770! :), very interesting to see

This was when the younger cast started to dominate the show, but it's nice that Michael Damian was still one episode below Morrow. considering 1994-1998 was Danny's worst years IMO

Very Shocking to see Nina in that many episodes, i always thought her screen time started to diminished when Adult Nick, Sharon, Malcolm, and other younger characters started to arrive.

Heather Tom was playing Victoria in July 1997? I thought they had Sarah Aldrich during those months.

Shame for Jeanne and Jerry :(, I wonder what they mostly did during that time, I think Ashley tried to hook them up right? and then they re-wrote history by saying that they actually knew each other before they supposedly met in the 80's and went skinny dipping etc... I can see why Jeanne called the show during this time "The Young and the Rest of us"

Thanks for your comments on my episode too, Id thought i get everybody in the Christmas spirit by uploading the original version of it, too bad some of the scenes are missing...

Do you have episode rankings from 1990-1995, would love to see them if you did, especially 1995. I wanna know exactly how many episodes Katherine and Lauren were on.

I will try to post what I can find, I've found some rankings for 1996, 1997, and 1998 so far.

I think the Heather Tom thing might be a mistake, this was if I recall Sarah Aldrich's last month for the show unless I'm mistaken. I really don't remember Aldrich too well at all, just another blonde on the show at the time. I do recall when Tom returned, Victoria had been off the show for a couple of months and spied on Cole and Ashley kissing her first day back. HT's exit back in Feb of '97 was Victoria needing to take a break from it all after the never-ending quad she was in finally reached its tipping point.

I don't think Nina's screen time didn't diminish until 1998, and even then she was still an integral part of the show unlike how she is treated now. I kind of wish they did actually follow through on the stories they wanted to tell for her ie. the soccer coach she dated was molesting Phillip IV/Chance, Raul being her long lost son etc.

Thanks again as usual for another synoposes and that page with Brad and Traci! Carl

It's funny how the Derek story lasted a few months. It seems like one of those stories that would only take two weeks to be resolved. Man Lauralee looks like death in that picture. I know that's the point but i cringe at the thought of her actually having real bruises after filming the rape scene.

How exactly did the Victor/Brad friendship or whatever you want to call it happen? Was it their mutual hatred of Jack?

I used to think stories about date rape were passe, but in recent years, as there seems to be more and more of a blame-the-victim mentality for any woman who is raped, I start to realize just how important they are. I do wonder if some impact was lost on Cricket, since she was drowning in PSA stories (Phillip's drinking, Jessica's AIDS, the concerts).

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
