Twister founder Charles Foley died today. In his honor, here's a clip of Bo and pre-psycho Alex playing Twister:

So, back in 2003, this happened. Mitch and Dorian seek the Bahdra diamond, the mystical Indian gem reputed to be responsible for Victor Lord's wealth and power. Yeah.

Sadly, I can't find a clip of the sequence where Dorian and Blair got trapped in this room with a series of torture implements and encroaching poison spikes as they attempted to take the diamond for themselves. This was all in the basement of Llanfair, BTW, so it's all still down there. This was a strange, strange time at OLTL - every day was like DOOL.

I admit I kinda enjoyed all that mess in an "WTF" way. At least the day to day writing worked a lot better for me than JER's whacked up day to day writing did. That said it was a [&#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] mess undeniably.

I forgot about the Indiana Jones room! And of course this kinda led into Victor's crazy Lion Heart Manor or whatever in the haunted woods outside town--again or whatever.

Michael Malone gave a pretty candid interview about his first time at OLTL including what didn't work and what stories he couldn't tell. I wish someone would get him to talk about why he decided he wanted to go all gothic borderline supernatural when he returned to OLTL. Were these left over story ideas from 13 Bourbon Street (as apparently his glowing eye fertility statue on AW was...)?

I don't remember the day to day writing being terribly good, to be honest.

It would have the occasional poetic flourish by Malone - "Jen and Joey - we're the priest and the punk!" - but would come out sounding so stupid.

Malone has always been very, very spare in talking about this run. I wish he would because oh my God, it was a disaster and so much of it was him.
