It's probably the most vocal Hunter was about flat out hating a story. I mean, it goes nowhere and is abruptly dropped because she tells them she's leaving for Melrose in late 95'. They totally drop that story and promptly bring in Lauren to be a foil for Bridge (which IMO made them look terrible - Ridge making out with Taylor would be one thing as they were married and had history, but him being as tempted as he was by Lauren while he was with Brooke was a mess). But even all of that became a total waste of TEB's talent

I’ve been skipping through late ’93 to early ’95, only for the Sheila story. But the Anthony Armando story is slowly catching my attention. I am a HUGE fan of Knots Landing and Michael Sabatino’s stint as Chip Roberts. I know what a compelling psycho he can play.

Throughout ’94, Anthony seemed rather innocuous, but now that we’ve entered ’95 and Macy has rejected Anthony to be engaged to Thorne, I see Anthony scheming and putting his plans into place… how do events lead to Anthony murdering his new love interest Ivana?? Color me intrigued.

= = =

As mentioned, I’ve been scrolling to get an understanding of Sheila’s story during this time period. I am shocked and disappointed to realize that nothing of any significance happens during this long stretch of time of late ’93 (post-Catalina) to early ’95!

Of course Sheila’s story was interrupted by KB’s maternity leave in Jan '94. But she returned April ’94 and nothing important happens for almost a year!

The only events of note are a couple weeks in June ’94 when Jay Garvin dies, and then Sheila sleeping with Connor to get pregnant with “Eric’s baby” which winds up being a big zero, and a couple intriguing eps in Dec ’94 with James grilling Sheila in Big Bear before he is called away to Taylor in Morocco. .

Nothing happens after that for another two entire months! That’s a long time. I’m finally at 1982 2/22/95 and Sheila’s story is heating up.

Perhaps the writers felt that the Sheila/Lauren story needed a “rest” for 1994? I can’t help but think that’s an entire year of much wasted potential.

Adding my thanks to the Angel for the continuous uploads! It’s a dream come true for the complete BnB ‘90s archive!

I find the Anthony Armando storyline of 1995 absolutely fascinating! It's one of my all-time favorites, for many reasons. It is just brilliantly structured (it is Anthony's introduction storyline played backwards, combined with clever variations on many major plot points from Thorne and Macy's previous storylines), it has hints of Faust, Shakespeare's Othello, and folk tales like Little Red Riding Hood, and Michael Sabatino is great as a psychotic villain.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Chris B · Posted

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.
