Found some 1990 episodes from spring to summer, it seems like a show in transition.

 

Was Trask/david/sharla/Melanie an attempt at recreating the glory years of the teen scene early 1980s?  

 

Natalie's personify gradually is watered down as 1990 moves forward.

 

Erica caught between Jack and Travis?  Erica and Jack were a horrid couple and don't get why they were kept together 9n and off till 2009.

 

The new Angie isn't Angie whatsoever.  Decent actress, but it's a different character.  She plays Angie more passive and sweet while Debbie Morgan had backbone and confidence infused into Angie.   Does this pat/Angie dating the same man last Long?  I can see why Debbie Morgan jumped ship if this was the best the shoe could give her.

 

Ceara circa 1990 is a blonde Erica Kane right down to her flirting with Jack.

I didn't like Erica with either Montgomery. For me, that's when the character started to become somewhat dull. I was never a fan of Bianca and thought Erica would have been more interesting with a son. Being so feminine, that dynamic might have been more unique than the early days of her dressing spoiled brat Bianca up. Beyond that, Travis was my least favorite Kane husband due to his holier than thou hypocrisy. He got Bianca kidnapped, he lied, cheated and produced a child, then used Bianca- first to get back with Erica, then to punish her- yet  Erica was the horrible parent? Jack was also holier than thou and hypocritical quite often.

 

I never understood why they said Jack was the only man who never tried to change Erica. It's BS. Adam never tried to change her. Control her, stay one step ahead of her, but not change her actual personality.

To me, Jack was Erica's fall back..never truly her true love.  I would say Erica was his but never hers.  I recall during the Libosone arc that both of them dran it...he confessed he was still in love with her and Erica let him know that she cared for him but wasn't in love with him.

 

Adam and Erica were more like a partnership then a romance so of course he never tried to change her.  He liked the challenge she presented and he never got bored because he could never control her.

 

I love watching some of the 1989 episodes especially the ones that Depriest were headwriter of.  Some of her ideas were odd, but the show had more of a community feel then when broderick/miller were headwriting.  She started erica/Jack, tad/Dixie, and it's interesting she was the one to create Trevor while Natalie was trying to move on from Jeremy..who was with Skye! I don't recall that relationship...so I'm guessing when Nixon came back she ended it because Jeremy and his son were going for Ceara by end of 1990.

Does anyone know the exact date that Marcy Walker first appeared as Liza Colby on AMC?  Marcy supposedly first appeared as Liza in 1981, but some accounts at least seemed to indicate 1980.

 

Also, does anyone know the exact date that Michael E. Knight began appearing as Tad Martin on AMC?

      Oh lawd Steffy invited that bland b*tch back to Forrester. Thankfully she said all isn't forgiven and her flop line isn't returning.  Liam was so annoying toyda like a kid in a car asking over and over "are we there yet?"

      In addition, no one seems to be eating the show right now. EJ is a great example. James Scott's EJ is one of my most hated characters, and that's nothing against the actor, because he was gorgeous and great in the part when he wasn't having a blinking fit, but the amount of episodes he racked up in his relatively short amount of time on the show is absolutely insane. Coming back to this show as a regular view last fall, I was prepared for that hatred to be further ignited, but I needn't have worried, because the only true albatross on the show is Leo, but he's not even on that much, he's just that awful.

      I agree with you on all of it. After what we got from RC for YEARS, seeing real soap is beyond refreshing. I like "romantic leads" who cannot be ignored. Kate is definitely revived as a character, and a lot of the credit goes to Philip. JPL has been really good since his return, and I hope they keep him around.

      5-16   Build, build, build. So much of it going on and not bored by any of it. A story continued to be the fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal. And I'm happy to see that the fallout made it all the way through the week with C plots being built up to B plots. And then little subplots (Dani's business, Vanessa and her roleplaying games) to keep in mind.    Now that I've watched it several times...all I can think of seeing Silk Press Sheila with NuTed is hmmmm. Honestly, while I felt Trish and Maurice had chemistry, I always felt character-wise that SilkPress and Maurice's Ted would never get back together. At most, I could see them having hate sex. However, SilkPress with Keith's Ted...how to word this...I feel like...in spite of all of her scheming...she has a chance of getting him back given how Trish and Keith interact with each other. And I feel like she's giving 90s DAYS Sami Brady with Austin Peck's Austin where Sami would be playing it to the hilt and Austin...even when he knew better...would STILL be falling for her tricks. Or even when Sami would be somewhat redeemed and he had a 'right' to like her, it would end badly cuz she did something. That was the vibe I got from the SilkPress/NuTed scenes. Keith's Ted definitely came across as a romantic lead in a triangle versus Maurice's Ted where even though he messed up, I saw him only having eyes for Nicole. So...Hmmmmmm. Mind you, I don't see Keith's Ted as stupid/dumb like Austin Peck's version of Austin on DAYS.   Kat being on the case and looking into Laura's accident and giving her recording to Jacob also continue to spin the story into its next logical direction...even if Kat has it tagged on the wrong person. The walls may be closing in on SilkPress, but like she said a while back...she still has tricks up her own sleeves. And I just know the rivalry between Kat and Eva ain't over so this is just another match to the fire. And it'll be good to see Jacob in cop mode. Then Nicole still dealing with her own feelings and wanting to sell the house. Good scenes with her and Vanessa.   And while that was all going on...the plots around them...   1) MARTIN'S SECRET. I have enjoyed how Bill's little seed has been growing in Smitty's mind. And Smitty's being in reporter mode. His scenes with Nicole to see if he was right to be second guessing himself was well-done. I didn't get it at first viewing, because I would think he would be happy that Martin backed down. But I'm seeing it through his reporter eyes, and I get it. And of course, I live for Smitty's scenes with Bill. And Bill is just getting too much glee with messing with Martin and Smitty.    2) ANITA'S STORY. Yassss!!! Oh, Vernon...how I love you. I really enjoyed seeing him slowly coax Anita into calling yet another bandmate. I felt CD and TT were really giving how a relationship can be. And I enjoyed it. Of course, I enjoy that it's clear that Anita wears the pants in that relationship...not that Vernon don't have his moments. They just complement each other so well.   3)MS. JUNE. Outside of the fact that I thought that surgery happened too quickly, good to see her out of surgery. Not to mention seeing Nosy Nurse. Say what you want about her ability to get the tea, but she's really great at her job, and it's great to see.    Well...Doug still has a week. Dani and Pamela are still working on a business. Vanessa is still playing. And it's nice to see those threads still around. But not a major focus yet. And it all still flowed.   And of course...a Friday cliffhanger with Jacob taking Silk Press Sheila down to the station.   So great week of soap overall for me. It doesn't seem like today's episode is going to be loaded on my system until tomorrow. But I guess that is what apps are for.
