Members Khan Posted March 28 Members Share Posted March 28 (edited) I agree, lol. Another shocking, but logical, choice would've been Palmer. But, like I said, I knew from the jump that it would be Janet. I guess watching all those detective shows with my mom paid off, lol.

Members DemetriKane Posted March 28 Members Share Posted March 28 Will honestly never should have been killed in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 28 Members Share Posted March 28 Maybe not, but I think they had written him into a corner, especially after he had raped Gloria and pretty much terrorized Hayley to the point of becoming a full-blown alcoholic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 29 Members Share Posted March 29 I think SPW said the same in their most memorable moments article from 1997 - they did enjoy the story but felt the killer was too obvious. Thanks. This reminds me - Donna was there for so many events in Natalie's life, but was she around for Natalie's funeral? (then again that wasn't "her" Natalie) Seeing Harold reminds me of his death story, which was under McTavish. It got some criticism at the time, as some said they don't watch soaps to see a dog die, but while it was very emotional, it was also poignant and never felt exploitive. Natalie returning to walk with Harold to Heaven got me, although I did laugh at some of the soap magazine comments which said they were distracted by the big diamond Kate Collins had on her finger. I say if you've got it, flaunt it. Is that woman calling Trevor "one of the good ones" an under five or a character? There are various blondes in this period I can't tell apart. Those garish suit jackets are about as 1992 as you can get. Trevor should have asked Color Me Badd to perform at the wedding. They never should have taken him that far. I assume JPS wanted to leave, but he did return for a short stint later on. They should have had him similar to Sean Cudahy - wicked but still able to come back and cause problems for his family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 29 Members Share Posted March 29 I agree. It was one of the few McTavish-penned storylines that didn't piss me off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted March 29 Members Share Posted March 29 Genie Francis wore a Geoffrey Beane wedding gown. LOL! I remember it was big news back then. I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. The dress was ringarde at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 29 Members Share Posted March 29 Right. I think it survived the 80s as "grounded" mostly in comparison to how outrageous the other soaps were getting. (I mean the obvious parallel is seeing AMC and sister soap OLTL in that decade, and comparing them.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted March 29 Members Share Posted March 29 That's Galen Henderson. "Won't you please join Mr. and Mrs. Dillon for their first song as a married couple, 'I Wanna Sex You Up'?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 29 Members Share Posted March 29 Thanks. I knew it had to be some short-lived blonde. I get her and the first Laurel mixed up at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted March 29 Members Share Posted March 29 Exactly! You would think, they learned their lessons from getting rid of similar characters before this, but no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 1 Members Share Posted April 1 I forgot about Will's doppelganger (Janet used him to gaslight... someone? Dixie? (Why would Janet want to gaslight Dixie?) God that story is fuzzy in my mind but of course was one of the stories that finally gave FMB the leverage to get rid of McT with dropping ratings and examples of her going back to the same tricks one too many times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 1 Members Share Posted April 1 I can't remember either. Wasn't this when Kendall and Janet were close? Was it tied to Del? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 1 Members Share Posted April 1 I think it was Dixie, but that storyline with Will's doppelganger was as muddled as the one with Tad and Ted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
