I am looking forward to seeing this Dr. Jonas. When did he first appear?

I had no idea Gerald Anthony was scheduled to appear, what a shame, I would’ve loved that.

I can’t imagine Todd and Jason couldn’t both fit. Maybe I’m too caught up in the moment but I shall fantasize for now, and what an easy way for Wanda to appear again for Jason.

Somewhere after Sarah came back. So that is probably after December 1991... More like early 1992. He's just a hottie that stirs things up from time to time. 😂

I haven't watched much of '94 since it first aired when I was a kid (and with the exception of revisiting the rape trial saga I am slowly going from '91 chronologically - I started watching in '93, and will also revisit '94-'95) so I couldn't say for sure. I do think they lost focus on Jason with Roger Howarth and Todd taking off like a rocket, and so Jason became a B or C-player. If things had been different who knows. I wish they'd tried Jason and Marty for real, for instance.

Malone's favorite sexy rapist is probably a big factor, but even before that Jason had been steadily siloed. I wonder how much is down to Jason not being a character he created. The 1994 crop of men brought in is also remarkably bland, so that may be down to network mandates deciding Jason was not "hot" enough.

I still wish he'd stayed around, but maybe he was better off leaving before some of the bad years arrived.

I have made it through 10/18 and into the Jane spousal abuse plot. I am not if episodes were missing but wow they dove right in randomly introducing these folks at Wanda’s, then in their home, then suddenly Viki and Sheila were involved. I’m a little lost, so surely some of the sequence is missing.

After nearly a month they have overdone Tina and her past lives. I’m over it. It was nice to use Luna as both a friend to Tina and to evaluate her relationship with Cord but this is ridiculous and not an aspect I’ve ever enjoyed peeking into Malone era Llanview (coming from someone who loved Eterna and 1888)

The scenes of Asa attacking and berating LeeAnn at the party were astounding, made me see more in LeeAnn than prior. The following confrontation with Stephanie makes me wish Stephanie more outwardly caused trouble and shows she must be flirting with Joey to get to Kevin which is rather wild.

Not even sure what to make of Jake and his tormentor harassing him. Some of this is wild.

PS-I really enjoy the “everyday people” aspect with Eddie and Quincy at The Banner and Wanda, Luna, LeeAnn and Jason working at the restaurant. I was shook to see The Banner with an actual staff and Blair coming in.

@soapfave06 Tina's past lives scenes were cringe. I didn't like them what so ever, but thankfully they moved on from that too. These first months have messy moments... Also... not sure where you are watching the episodes from... if you are on youtube, know that some of the episodes are in wrong order as I recall... So some of the missing sequence may be in the future episodes, just dated wrong. I had that issue for a day or two, but then managed to figure out which episode comes after which and I filled in the missing pieces.

The domestic abuse storyline gets more interesting as time goes by, when Viki and Megan are finally involved. Then we have a pure GIRL power moment will all the women of Llanview coming together against the bad guy. I won't spoil, since I don't know how much you have seen.

Oh and yes, the Jake and tormentor scenes were another cringe, that I didn't like. I was at that time confused as to what this show is... I was hating certain aspects of it... but thankfully all this cleaned up with time and it got better and better.
