They seemed to have gotten there by 1993 - Jack married Laurel, and he even did a reading at Erica and Dimitri's first wedding. Then the writers had Dimitri helping Kendall find the man who raped Erica, which Dimitri should have been smart enough to know was a REALLY bad idea, and suddenly Dimitri was out for a while and Jack was back in.

They've had brief periods where they friends, or at least not sleeping together and not fighting with each other, but it never really seemed to last, which was a shame.

Personally, I think if Michael Nader hadn't ended up getting fired or if his recast had gone over much better with the fans, I think the writers would have considered yet another go-round of Erica and Dimitri. Dimitri was around a lot when Erica was struggling with Bianca coming out, and there were still some sparks there. I would have enjoyed a full blown David/Erica/Dimitri triangle.

Was Mr. Colby an alcoholic? He's a mess. And LOL at that guy sitting by the water fountain, sometimes extras crack me up.

What a great era, I can't even bring myself to fast forward. It's weird watching knowing that I am now older than Greg/Jenny/Tad/Jesse/Angie.

I am watching some mid-2006 episodes on Youtube, and in one from May (this is around the time of the City-esque camera work as Jonathan tries to save Lily from Eli), Di is at Tad and Aidan's PI office (which I never saw by the time of the fall 2006 episodes) and she was going on to Tad about how she was going to get him back and they weren't and she knew they were going to be together again.

Just a few months later, she seemed to be over him totally - what happened? Did the writers just drop this story? I know that she was angry with him for his behavior towards Dixie in the Madden murder trial but it's not like she was close enough to Dixie to be that super loyal.

Thank goodness. I didnt like Di with Tad. Even though I did buy her as Dixie, once she was revealed as Di, he came across as too old for her. I liked that they moved her forward with Aidan bc she was one of his few pairings that didnt suck. Unfortuantely there was no commitment to them as a couple and they lingered in the background until her exit

    • 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.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
    • With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.
    • It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.
    • PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.
    • They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.
