I would probably agree about that dress if it was anyone else, but Susan looked great. Regardless of her age, she has the body and attitude to pull that dress off so I have no problem with her ignoring societal conventions about how a woman her age should dress.

You know, on the one hand, I can understand the antipathy (for lack of a better word) on the part of some (okay, many) toward Susan Lucci. How long can one actress play variations on the same character who refuses to acknowledge the passage of time in every possible way? However, there has to be something about the girl (that has little-to-nothing to do w/ the string of Emmy losses) to have made an impression on not just AMC fans but all soap fans and the mainstream media, too. Otherwise, America would have tired of the whole routine long before now.

I mean, even ATWT's Eileen Fulton (Lisa), who was, for all intents and purposes, her predecessor didn't leave as lasting of an impression on the public as SL and Erica have - and Fulton was arguably responsible for keeping ATWT at the top of the ratings for 20 years!

She hasn't just refused to acknowledge it though. She has actively fought it. She has worked for that body and not just with the surgery. Think of all the exercise, self denial and pain it must take to look like that at her age. As far as I'm concerned, she's earned the right to wear whatever dress she wants to. Hater be damned :lol:

Beautifully put. Susan has je ne sais quoi. C'est un grand mystère! It could be her look, glamor and sexuality. Somehow in interviews, she manages to walk the fine line between being fake and genuine. You would think that the mainstream media and public would have rolled their eyes and turned away, especially after the drought ended and she won the Emmy. Yet Susan has managed keep her fame going while raking in the bucks. Good for her.

This. It would be different if she was sloppy looking. She's very astute when it comes to her looks from her judicious plastic surgery to her hair color so I have no doubt that she'll begin to cover up when she knows she can no longer pull it. I would however recommend some step-up squats because she has no butt. A "tush" in her bikini but Noassatol overdose in clothes.

Are you vucking serious? Even if that was in jest (and we know it really wasn't), I just cannot believe that dude. When you ponder why the soap industry is seen as such a joke look no further than some of its most prominent "journalists".

    • 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.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
