Here we hear that Gabrielle did in fact want to be a ballet dancer, but couldn't because of her "accident" (Fiona's ballet career ended after she injured her back). This makes both the ballet fantasy and the ballet moves she did in Heaven make much more sense. And it also seems that Max only met her Grandmother this one time (but he recognized her sewing box after Al's death--I guess Gabrielle either had it in Argentina or maybe he remembered it from when they were married, I don't know).

No matter how much Max loved Luna, and I know he did, to just dismiss any love he had for Gabrielle is just ridiculous, IMO. They restored their friendship (beautifully, I might add) sometime after this, and I do believe they were headed for an affair (ditto Bo/Nora) before JDP was fired. I would have LOVED to have watched what happened there.

Having her start off as trying to get revenge on Max due to him abandoning her was fine, but I would have probably gone on after their breakup (if you could really call it that) by having her slowly but surely try to make up for past misdeeds--while, of course, having her retain as much of her anti-heroine status as humanly possible. I certainly would have gone forward with a Max/Gabrielle affair during her relationship with Bo--there were signs that she felt neglected by him in favor of Nora, and it would have been interesting to see what might have happened with both Bo AND Gabrielle cheating on each other (and maybe have Roxy and Max continue to bond as friends and have her slowly realize how much Gabrielle means to him).

And even though it would have been great to have seen them on the canvas longer, once I would have reunited them, I would have been fine with them getting married and leaving for North Carolina/Argentina to raise Frank and Leslie--visiting/communicating through Al as he goes through law school (which is what he intended to do at the time of his death).

At the same time, I wouldn't have objected to a storyline where Carlo returns and she gives him hell for the years she lost in prison because of him--complete with a scene of Max whipping the tar out of him for threatening their son's life as a child/taking her away from Al when he was so young.

I really do miss them sometimes, don't I? sad.png

I remember it well. It kind of seemed like a backhanded compliment to me at the time wink.pnglaugh.png . I prefer to think of Max saying it was Luna and not including Gabrielle because of her relationship with Bo at the time. Because really, BOTH of them could have been the loves of his life. And that's probably the best answer anyway tongue.png .

    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
    • Great thought.  I mostly forgot about Kate's cancer.
