Is Nora still having her headaches?

They stopped a few weeks ago, maybe even months at this point. I think the regular chili dogs she has with Bo... played a part in this. Let's say they improved her circulation. 🤭 I'm glad you asked... because they kept repeating the headache line for weeks... it was going somewhere for sure. The writers must have changed their minds.

Robin seems to relish going up against Susan Haskell, as they are both such forces. As she later described her scenes with Erika Slezak - being in "the arena."

I love this... Thank you for sharing!!! I am looking forward to their future interactions. So far only 2 scenes... and the chemistry is off the charts. It makes me want to watch the German episodes again, but sadly not being able to hear the original voices in English... sort of... kills the magic for me.

Still enjoying your recaps and I hope to be back to 1991 soon!

Reading this, Maxim or anyone else, would you say they set Marty up to be heavily involved with Viki from the ties to lupus and Megan or not? Sometimes it seems they played up to it, other times not. Reading these recaps really makes me wish Marty had been further involved with raising hell for both Viki and Dorian.

I think they connected them right from the beginning - Marty's entrance into the show was through Viki and Megan. Viki helped Marty open up about her past and traumas early on. She has been motherly towards her ever since she lost her daughter, often mentioning Megan in attempt to calm Marty down. Recently, though... Marty has become more and more cruel to her. It seems the more Viki tries to help, the more defensive Marty gets. Marty reacts this way to anyone who tries to be kind to her. The first one that tried to "fix" her was Andrew - he got called a pedophile for it and she nearly destroyed his life. He could have been killed at that time. The last few months, Viki was the one trying to support her, checking in on her - she got called a Society Slut for it and publicly humiliated. So the pattern is very obvious at this point. You try to help her or love her - she bites you. HARD. And now, like proper masochists Andrew and Cassie have invited her into their home... 2 days later and she is already plotting the end of their marriage. Marty is like Kathy from East Of Eden - she's a very damaged person who ruins everything she touches. At least this has been her arc so far. Fans have told me that everything will change eventually, so I’ll be watching for that.

P.S. But here is how they were months and months ago, if you are interested. :)

I am not sure they maintain this longterm, I barely remember any Viki and Marty scenes in the 2000s and always thought of Larry as closer to Viki in the mid-90s I have seen. That scene is really great and shows Marty’s reluctance, also never knew Kiki was an addict on that!
