The only couple on OLTL I want to see together and happy (which is a relative term, as far as these two are concerned) are John and (not?)Todd. Otherwise? Couldn't. Care. Less.

I'm sure he enjoyed having a job, I just question if all of the reported cost and time cuts were worth the sweat (and tears?). I'm of a mind that OLTL would have coasted regardless until ABC had its ducks in order with a suitable replacement. Maybe if Aisha's pilot didn't suck it would have happened sooner.

Nice seeing La Lucci is getting press out of the cancellation. She is the Phoenix that never goes into ashes, just keeps on rising. She does look great, though her neck... In any case, she is a stunning woman for her age. Notice that La Lucci is the only soap actor that is getting the big time mainstream media attention, the woman has built a hell of a career given that she is a barely passable soap actor. Go Susan!

You just described anything from ME and TSJ over the last 3-4-5 years.

I was trying to think of any couple I wanted to get back together and there are none. The only one would be Natalie/Cris, and that's never going to happen.

I realize Susan Lucci will be linked forever to Erica Kane and AMC...but you know...maybe it's b/c I love that gal so darned much, but I've this hunch she just might surprise us yet, acting-wise.

To be fair, though, it was DALLAS's final season; much of the cast was dreadful to watch by that point; and Sheila Foley/Hillary Taylor was hella confusing.

    • 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.
