Thanks for the clip and review @Maxim . I am glad to see all the appreciation of Nancy Addison - it is disappointing this role didn't last longer as it would be a half a decade before she'd get more soap work, and she was born for soaps. I don't know if you've ever seen her on Loving or Ryan's Hope but I think you'd enjoy her (even if Jill could be insufferable).

What impresses me most with the gaslighting story is how simple it is. All Adam does is move an item. I'm sure it progresses from there, but I appreciate the lack of light shows and endless stunts.

I can't speak for everyone, but I didn't see the point of bringing her back in 1994, nor did I see the point of reforming her or pairing her with "Uncle Porkchop."  When Janet went to prison for murdering Will Cortlandt, that should've been the last we saw of her, at least until Amanda was a teenager or adult and went to visit her biological mother for the first time in prison; and as much as I loved seeing Robin Mattson back on daytime after the cancellation of SANTA BARBARA, she could've just as well joined AMC or any other soap playing a new and completely different part.

Much could have been explained with five, simple words: "Janet was better in bed."

Oh My God... now I remember her from Ryan's Hope! I did not realize this is the same girl. I had seen some episodes from the beginning... and WOW... She is so different there. Is she a villain or a heroine there? That's just a 10 second off-topic question. And speaking of off-topic - your profile picture is RAAAAWR. 

 

 

Wonderful! Then I have to give it to MDP - she has strengths and weaknesses. And I appreciate her when she's good.  Late July-Early August was superb. I hope the show gets back to that level now... when it focuses mostly on Adam and Dixie.

One thing I loved is how at the beginning of the storyline... he called his attorneys and outlined to them... what could happen to Dixie. In other words... he expressed his desire to put her in a mental institution and wanted to know ways he could do it as smoothly as possible. I love when... us... the viewers... know more than the characters. That's a trick I can give praise for.

And I will definitely miss Karen. I saw great potential in her. She was a perfect addition to that Manor of Horrors. Thank God they didn't kill her off! 

One thing I forgot to add - Niko and Cecily finally work for me. Another positive. I did not expect for them to turn into this adorable comedic relief... because at the beginning they felt very unnatural and forced. Forced-funny. Now... they are just funny. Again, if Cecily turns the volume of her voice a little bit... I will be grateful. That girl loves to scream and talk loudly.
