If I had wanted Middle Americans to stroke out or lapse into cardiac arrest, I would have suggested Viki and Dorian doin' the do inside Victor Lord's secret room at Llanfair.

I never even thought about going in that direction, but that's so smart! Hank is exactly who i had in mind...except for his little mid life crises in the 1990's when he and Bo bought motorcycles. The prominant D.A and the proper Victoria Lord together. I like it.

But if we couldn't get Hank, what do you think about bringing Bobby Blue back. Blair Underwood is still very good looking. By now Bobby could be a lawyer or someone important.

It's time to bring this back - Troy and Lindsay doin' it during the Storm of Change, February 2003. Malone and Griffith's first full week back, a week or two before things really began to go off the rails.

This marked the end of Gary Tomlin's dreadful Troy and Nora pairing, which he had believed would be audience wish fulfillment for the fans of a real pairing of Ty Treadway and Hillary Smith - in the end, no one bought Troy as being any less crazy than twin brother Colin, and Ty had proven to have much more chemistry with Cat Hickland, which led to Troy falling into a twisted, hateful and very hot affair with nemesis Lindsay, which culminated with this. "Take what you came for!" Then Nora walks in on a scene which you probably couldn't show on daytime today, done entirely with some deft editing.

The show became very atmospheric and dark very, very quickly around this period, with Frank Valentini taking over as EP and experimenting (very effectively, at the time) with lighting and music. Valentini and Griffith were both into using real, edgy music on the show, and back then they could still afford to use stuff like Tori Amos and Elvis Costello, which plays in the first clip. Raw, visceral, contemporary and morally complicated, the show finally resembled the show I'd started watching as a kid - for a few weeks, and then things got very schizoid and ridiculous for the next two years before descending into sheer hell with Dena Higley.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
    • Is nobody going to mention the cringefest that is 'Carl Ivati'?
