Do my eyes deceive me? Are the iconic plates that sat behind the sofa for years at the Newman Ranch making an earlier appearance in the clip from 75?

Someone must have seen their potential and decided to write them back in years later.

And Jen, if I had the choice b/w Bruce and Stu I'd be sticking with my hubby. Bruce is kinda creepy to me.

I noticed that the oval window from the Brooks home wound up at the Newman ranch as well. 

Bruce is kind of creepy. Wasn't he the brother to Elizabeth Foster ? His son Mark became engaged to Lorie, but they had to break up when they found out they were half siblings due to Jen's affair with Bruce years earlier. Bill Bell kind of repeated this same paternity reveal in the 80's with Dina, Ashley and Brent Davis. He also repeated Leslie's mental breakdown storyline with Ashley right down to the same 3 women in the asylum tormenting her, although different actresses portrayed them in the 80's.

Yep! I always thought that!!! It was Recycling at it's best! Like Father Like Son! Except the Father knew hoe to make it seem fresh!

I believe it was off screen, I think Stuart comes says she died in her sleep probably from a heart attack, there's a clip on the Vault of that period that shows Lorie Mourning with a very guilty conscience over their last conversation being a huge fight

Kay had zero friends at her ’74 introduction and moving forward, due to her selfish nature, bitterness and alcoholism. It would be impossible for her to invite Jennifer to lunch or bring her flowers, unless she thought Jennifer could somehow assist her in holding on to Phillip or Derek.

There was backstory that Kay was friends with Dina Abbott, but I picture it was a superficial booze-fueled connection

Kay’s first true friend, where Kay gave without expecting something in return, might be Liz in the late 70s.

If not Liz, it would be Nikki.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
