Paraphrasing.

ATWT, Steve and Betsy:

Doug Marland says Steve is still in a Greek prison for drug smuggling, and Betsy is living alone with daughter Dani in Wisconsin, running a construction firm.

GH, Heather and Blackie:

Former headwriter Gene Palumbo says that Heather was the administrator of Pine Circles Sanatorium, as she learned from her time in PC that lunatics can run the asylum. Blackie, who was in prison for the murder of Louisa Swenson (which he didn't commit), is still in prison, up for his thirty-eighth parole hearing, and if he gets out he will likely be a serial killer.

AMC, Greg and Liza:

Agnes Nixon says Greg went to Hong Kong to marry Suzy Wong, and works in the manufacturing business. If you see a label that says Made in Hong Kong, it was made by Greg. Liza went to work at a TV station in Baltimore, married a news anchor, and moved to Santa Barbara.

GL, Kyle and Reva:

Larkin Malloy says that Kyle is making big money in Oklahoma, and riding horses, and sometimes, looking into the horizon and thinking not of Monticello, or Pine Valley, but Springfield, and his time with Reva when they were at the Amish place. Kim Zimmer says Reva could have washed up anywhere, with amnesia; she could be drinking pina coladas like Kathleen Turner in Body Heat.

DAYS, Anna, Chris, Don:

Al Rabin says Anna lives in LA, channeling the spirit of Ludmilla, a 400 year old midwife from Bulgaria. Chris gave up his engineering degree, and is a yak farmer in Peru. Don Craig, after losing his twentieth case in a row, became a lambada instructor at Grossinger's in the Catskills.

Y&R, Julia:

Meg Bennett says that Julia is in Paris, a very successful fashion designer, raising a daughter who may or may not be Victor's, and, considering how Victoria was aged, might be quite old.

OLTL, David and Jenny.

Associate head writer Craig Carlson says David and Jenny are free to go where they want, but David lives in Prague, playing for President Vaclav Havel, and is part of the Velvet Revolution. Jenny has a cooking show on Czechoslovakian TV.

AW, Sandy and Blaine.

AW says that they live on a ranch outside San Francisco. Blaine runs the annual rodeo, and Sandy has a local talk show, becoming the Donahue of SF.

Lorna, Loving.

Millee Taggart, headwriter, says Lorna grew tired of her 'older man' husband and got involved with Doogie Howser, M.D.

Knots Landing, Diana:

KL writers say that Diana is still in New York, working in fashion, and she calls home every week. She just happens to call home on Wednesday, the day before Knots airs.

I know Enid mentioned Greg was in Hong Kong as a businessman in 1995. When he came back in 08 for the Hubbard wedding, he was a teacher in Seattle. I would love to see another Greg cameo. That character has a lot of potential. No only does he have a often mentioned never seen sister, but he could easily have kids we never saw before. Also, I would love Liza to have another love interest.

    • Thanks @DRW50 for the video. I guess that is the closest we will get to pre-1979 Roger/Holly storylines.
    • Yeah that's likely the case and it will all be awful.
    • I appreciate your POV and ideas here. I don't, however, trust Josh Griffith to make this anything like a good story. My guess is that much of it will be off-camera and that we'll have to be happy with Mariah retelling the nightmare in bits and pieces. Meanwhile, Tessa will still be strumming her damn guitar with Daniel. Ugh. I know I'm negative about this show. I am hate watching with every fiber of my being, and there's nothing about it that's working for me. I never recall Y&R being worse.
    • A batch of photos from Episode #67 which aired Thursday June 5 in USA. Some are scene pictures, and some are behind-the-scenes. https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/shows/beyond-the-gates/photos?episode=25710 Posting because there's a pic of director Michael V. Pomarico; and a pic of director Steven Williford whose photo caption says "J. Steven Williford".

    • I think the gross ickiness is Josh Griffith's intention. At birth, Ian Ward stole Mariah from Sharon, so that Sharon knew only of the Cassie twin and not the Mariah twin.  Sharon gave up Cassie for adoption at birth, never knowing that Mariah existed. When Ian Ward stole baby Mariah, he had her be raised by a woman member of his cult. She grew up in his cult. Years later, after Mariah was an adult in Genoa City and had left him, he tried to kidnap her to marry him himself, I sort of remember some icky scenes where he had arranged a wedding, but she escaped or was rescued -- it was so gross that I chose to forget it, and I don't want to look up the details. Mariah is feeling traumatized/triggered by Ian Ward being in Genoa City several months ago, because he was obsessed with her, and he terrorized her loved ones, interacted with Tessa, and drugged Sharon, which ultimately resulted in the death of Heather -- causing the grief of Daniel and Lucy. None of that was Mariah's fault. But she was so horrified by what happened, that she feels she did something wrong that caused this hateful villain to continue to obsess about her.   Based on small comments that Mariah made recently, I think she feels completely worthless. I gather that when she was away on the business trip a month or two ago, all of what happened with Ian Ward and Heather's death just hit her all at once and she was mentally/emotionally collapsing, and just felt unable to call for help.  During the business trip she sat in her hotel room and spiraled more, feeling more and more worthless and afraid. Finally she started drinking at a bar, and that's when the creepy old man approached her.  By that point, she wasn't in her right mind, and started interacting with the guy.  Either she thought he was Ian, or she thought he was someone like Ian, and she would be *required* to flirt with him in a role play, and do what he commanded, almost like old programming being reactivated.  Or perhaps just simple self-loathing playing out. I don't know if the guy actually knew Ian or Jordan, or if he was a random stranger.  But Mariah's fear/loathing/subconscious chaos kicked in. And then... well that's as far as her flashbacks have aired so far. She can't bear to face the rest of whatever it was.  I gather that in the coming episodes, we'll (eventually) find out what happened next as we see more of the icky flashbacks. --------------- The rest of this post is only my speculation: I think that she felt like she was supposed to have sex with him but didn't want to, and may have tried to kill him instead. Or he r*ped her.  Or they didn't have sex at all, but it's all convoluted in her mind.  Something horrible happened but I don't think it was her fault.  If the man died, maybe she covered it up?  I really don't know, I'm just speculating ideas. At any rate, I'm totally convinced that this is NOT a conventional "cheating storyline" where someone willingly has sex outside their relationship. ----------------- This is basically Josh Griffith's obsession with dark storylines, creepy villains, and terrible writing of "mental health issues".
    • The most we ever saw was on the "Roger years" tape.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.
