Well, the show never really addressed that, although they hint at it through some cryptic comments made by Dorian when she and Viki were locked in Asa's wine cellar the day of his funeral...

I really felt like that was a small gift/concession for Robin because she has based so much of her portrayal of Dorian on the *fact* that she killed Victor. She's been vocal (quel surprise) about her dislike of that particular retcon. She's the one who suggested the DID s/l to begin with so it kind of bit her in the butt in that way. Or maybe they weren't thinking of Robin so much as just trying to discredit that awful s/l.

Irene, like Victor, was a character I came to "know" during the DID s/l and they both seemed much more powerful dead than brought back to life for a flashy-trashy (too early?) s/l. My mother watched OLTL from the beginning so she'd give me bits and pieces about Victor and Irene and it was kind of like hearing about relatives or family friends who'd died before you were born, it was more intriguing to me that way.

I hear RH is going to put on a wig again and play Irene himself

It was. Their legacies were what helped drive so much of the show in the last 30 years. Resurrecting them for silly and stupid plots is like spitting on the show's history

There's no reason for her to change her middle name which she is never referred to as. Viki found out her father raped her. She didnt go out and change her name over it and her first named is taken after him

I think Prospect Park wants ABC to do a to be continued so people will have to tune in online to see how the rest plays out and make a smooth transition

    • Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either. If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work. I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back

    • Canada aired a repeat today Tues. Nov. 18. So after being a day ahead for the past week, they will now be back in sync with U.S.
    • I was really starting to enjoy it, but after Anspach, Shelton and Keane left, it got a bit blah to watch. Jane Russell was great as Rose, Buddy Ebsen as Toat was interesting as well.  If a second season were in the cards, I would have signed  Karen Carlson on to a contract and cast a couple more women as regulars. The cowboy aspect could continue. Sam Elliott, as always, was fantastic,  The camaraderie between Roy and Quisto was really good as well. Cybill... she was sex on a stick and unapologetic.   Poor Robin Wright barely lasted five minutes, though, before being raped and murdered.
    • I love it that we've gone from daylight to dark -- Luna's even returned to work -- but Steffy is still sitting next to shirtless Finn on the sofa.

    • Is the current DiMera mansion the same mansion Stefano moved into around 1983?  I remember that house was out near a lake, and not far from Doug Williams' night club.  In fact, there was a tunnel connecting Doug's Place to the DiMera mansion.  If it supposed to be the same house, I'm fairly sure it is not the same set.  But I'm aware sometimes soap opera sets change without any explanation   
    • Amazing work @slick jones I remember watching and enjoying Yellow Rose but losing interest once they went to self contained episodes, Interestingly that's the opposite of what Dallas, KL and FC did. So maybe YR should have been more episodic at first and then go to a fully fledged serial. But really the timeslot was the problem -Sat @10 was not the spot for a serial. And Rounders turned out to be a poor lead in. Maybe 9-11 Tues following A Team would have helped.  
    • LOL!!! He looks like he is reacting as if Luna just passed bad gas or something. 
    • Doug Marland came on board shortly before Gloria Monty, I believe. Jackie Smith was in charge of ABC daytime at that point. All of the characters in place were not his creations. Alan was created by Irving and Tex Ellman who wrote the hurricane story a few months before and brought in Alan, Scotty, David Hamilton, Dorrie and Lisa/Lana. His first character was  Bobbie in Jan 78. Apart from wrapping up the Lan/Lisa story he pretty much kept all the stories going just adding new elements.
    • She is 29... she's inching closer, and we know how important age is on soaps.

    • When I saw that look on Will's face, I thought, "Yeah, there's no one on set giving direction to Crew Morrow. There's no one giving notes." His dad Josh was green when he started, but not this green.
