Dixie ALREADY had her fitting conclusion. Cady McClain returned to tie up loose ends and gave Dixie a proper send off 3 years ago when Tad was shot and she helped reunite him with Kate. We had that fantasy episode of them throughout the years and I thought that was a good way to put her character to rest. Im with those that feel that she isnt needed to come back again. I still hate that we STILL dont know who killed her and now with the show ending we will never find out. I think its best they just leave her alone. All we need is a few Dixie flashbacks courtest JR and Tad. No need to bring back a ghost

I think most would have to do it for free out of love for where they came from and a fan service to the fans. I dont see ABC having the money to pay for a bunch of returns

First of all, the BIG story should be Viki's sudden and shocking decision to leave Llanview and her business interests in the hands of her children. So, automatically, Dan Gauthier (Kevin) should be there. Dorian should be the one to talk her out of it, of course, claiming that Viki belongs in Llanview just as much as she does. In the meantime, however, Viki's children - Kevin, Joey, Jessica and Natalie - should plan a big "farewell party" at Llanfair for their mother that results in the returns of Tina (Andrea Evans), Cord (John Loprieno), Larry (Michael Storm), even Wanda (Marilyn Chris) and - biggest surprise of all - Karen (Judith Light).

Oh, and Jessica Tuck (ex-Megan) should be there, too, in a running joke as a caterer at the party that makes Viki (and maybe others) always do a double take before dismissing her with a "Nah, that can't be her."

People already pegged Zach coming back from the dead BEFORE the cancellation rumors. The show left it very open ended when TK announced he was leaving. The only reason he didnt stay was bc he was unwilling to relocate to the west coast. With the show ending, I think its a definite that he will return for the final month to give Kendall her happy ending

Just thought of another return for OLTL's grand finale: Mark Derwin. Maybe not as Ben, or even Ben's ghost, but certainly there for one last interaction w/ "Blondie."

It would have been nice of the bald one to give them more notice, even those several weeks of giving them a false sense of security was time they could have used better. There's so little time to do real fron to end final storylines.

I think they burnt out her welcomes, but Tad and Dixie were huge when huge was HUGE and it just wouldn't seem right not to at least have Cady appear one more time in the next 5 months.

It appears they're about to start firing actors and that might help. I don't think any return except maybe, if we cross our fingers, David Canary's is going to be long by any stretch of the imagination if the budget problems are really that bad and Frons won't give them some extra cash to burn.

And of course, Cassie.

Yeah, I heard the rumors. But I just wanted to make sure there wasnt any confirmation or anything. But barf, I don't want him to come back. I'm done with all of that.

Yes! Love Mark Derwin. And he's currently on a primetime show on an ABC network, so he might even be allowed.

      Good point. It would provide some conflict with Jack. As much as I am not interested in Claire, I don't find it difficult to understand why she might be a bit reluctant  to commit to a guy who has already been divorced twice or is  3 times?before he is 30. That's a natural obstacle that Claire would be hesitant about. But in GC every relationship is true love and various past marriages are forgotten.

      I’m in NYC, and I can’t help but wonder if NYC prosecutors, politicians, etc. ever felt the way that Laura did, back in the 80s-90s when they were trying to take down the mob.  “Oooh, don’t put John Gotti in prison. The guy who comes in after him might be worse”

      Happy 18th Birthday, Sophia! I like that Tate gave her a birthday party. And that Marlena counseled him about whether or not he has feelings for Sophia, and his relationship with Holly. I like how messy Tate is and I hope he continues to be messy. He just needs to have more argument/fight scenes with Doug III

      Days just needs to work a little bit more on establishing better chemistry between Tate and Sophia, but I still think that’s mostly due to Rachel Boyd. Sometimes, I think that Sophia might secretly be scheming, but with the way RB plays it, (if that’s what they’re going for), it doesn’t seem to be working. Tate was also really sweet and dorky during the party too The drug scenes didn’t do much for me though. I don’t mind that Kevin panicked and ran off with the drug once he heard Steve and Shawn coming, but I felt like that story was the weakest part of today. But I am interested in seeing what happens next. And I couldn’t help but laugh when I noticed that Steve and Shawn had matching jackets Btw, I see Mayor Price established a quid pro quo with Xander today lol I wouldn’t mind that being more than just a plot point. It could lead to some pretty good drama if it’s handled correctly. And it would be a lot better than Xander declaring war on Sweet Bits/Chanel and Felicity.  And Stephanie, finally having her mother to confide in about her life, her relationship with Alex, etc. has been one of the best things about the Paula/Jeanne episodes. The book thing still seems very Ron/Jamey-like though, mostly because it’s so centered around Alex, sort of like how GH used to make storylines about Liz all about Finn or Franco Hopefully, Stephanie talks to Kayla about the book. I’d like to hear more of her perspective on it. I also like that Kayla and Marlena were there for each other as well. These are such better ways to use all three of them. And, we got an update about John One other thing I’ve noticed about the Paula/Jeanne episodes (except for the ones that are worked on by Jamey) is that they’re longer than Ron episodes. Episodes usually clock in at around 40-41 minutes now, as opposed to 35-37, or as short as 31. I like that.

      Also Victor being the obstacle for Kyle/Claire feels forced. If anything it should be Diane. Diane has a history of having issues with the Newmans, doesn’t she? Jack could be the one trying to reel her in while she’s meddling in Kyle and Claire’s relationship. They’re making the characters of Diane, Victoria, Nick, Sharon be way too complacent when they could have a stronger role in the younger characters like Mariah/Tessa, Kyle/Claire etc

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      A year later we had these ratings for the week of May 11-17 1987. This was probably the last time the CBS soaps (at least til Dallas’ finale) ranked this high. Dynasty had already ended its season.  CBS reran the Dallas Early Years movie on Saturday night against Golden Girls’ season finale, which was the failed Empty Nest back door pilot.  Interestingly a repeat Family Ties was #1 this week. The week before the season finale of Family Ties beat out Cosby as well, but it was Cheers that beat them both out with Diane’s exit.

      Hello to everybody!

      Please register in order to view this content

      I'm writing a series of essays about the first time of a LGBT character in US soaps. I already have datas about Sharon Duvall in DAYS (1977) as first Bisex, Lynn Carson in AMC (1983) as first Lesbian, Hank Elliott on ATWT (1989) as first Gay (someone have or can find the episode in which Paul Ryan finds out about Hank and does not take it very well? I have seen Hank's coming out to Iva and when Hank gets a bullet to save Paul's life from the latter evil father and when he gets tested for HIV after finding out Charlie's diagnosis, but Soap Opera Digest recaps are too much concises...) and Billy Douglas on OLTL (1992) as first LGBT teen in both daytime and primetime TV (I have seen all the episodes on You Tube. BTW, what a great storyline, why it was ignored by the Emmys? Andrew Carpenter and Billy's father players are both really great in their roles! Oh, well, if OLTL was not nominated for Best Drama in 1994 with Marty's gang rape story which won four major awards and was spectacular, no surprise at all - sadly) and I have read something about Azure in The City (1996) as first Trans, but I'd like to see the episode where Bernado finds out and Azure confirms what is said in that newspaper to have something to quote. I like quoting, it gives the essays more depth. I already read the biweekly recaps from Soap Opera Digest on Tumblr and single episodes recaps on IMDB, but I'd like to have more to write about. And something more about critics and public opinions - I only knows that the storyline was rapidly axed because of bad writing and bad performance by Carlotta Chung, but I have nothing to quote.   PS Thank you @JAS0N47 for your incredible and rich site (and work on it). In particular for the Nielsen ratings on weekly basis lists since 1974 and for everything about Sharon Duval - specially for the script of the confession episode dated 23 May 1977! I'm not a DAYS viewers (I'm Italian, I live in Italy and on You Tube there is almost nothing if not short videos), but I've seen some clips of Marlena's first possession (Deidre Hall is terrific in it! Storyline is garbage, but it has its chilling moments and it is funny - I laugh everytime I remember Kristen say to Marlena "according to the book of demonology"! Was she an espert of demons or what!? ) and read on Soap Opera Central daily recaps about infamous Melaswen (brainwashed Marlena has a particular sense of humor - killing ex alcoholic Maggie with a bottle of wine and Alice with her donuts...), so I know something about the soap. Little, but better than nothing.

      I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.
