After the fourth or fifth time, Bobbie should have just been like, "Screw it, I'm becoming a dog mom!"

I assume in a day to day format it didn't seem as redundant as it does in clips, but I swear every time I popped in to watch the era Bobbie's main story was trying to get a child in a variety of different ways.

There was something sweet about the proposal and them falling in love as friends and fully adults. But I also found them boring as a couple back then. Truthfully I never liked Tony until Labine got there. And even then he is often judgmental. But I do think he played an important role for balanced storytelling by being the one calling out ridiculous and irresponsible behavior.

I actually enjoyed his slow descent into being broken. My problem then and now was they didn’t build him back up. Even though his life had been very hard, you still want a soap opera to give him some hope and happiness again.

I agree. I loved her and missed her when she was gone, but never as a lead. She would have been a great character to build the PC media empire around, with the Quartermaine’s backing her, but even then I would have her as supporting the other characters in the story.

Tony is a good utility player and Brad Maule makes Tony more likeable than he probably is with his slightly dorky dad charm. I liked Bobbie/Tony a lot in the Labine era as well so maybe I was spoiled and underwhelmed when I went back to their early courtship and marriage.

I always did have a problem with him never being able to recover from his breakdown too. He was basically shelved after the story concluded.

That sounds awesome! Maybe something that could've played out over a summer.

Maule is a Texan IIRC, and has a real eccentric streak beneath the surface when Tony got going. I think he'd have a ball with it.

As long as it works better than the tale of two Macs. I still have trauma over whatever that was.

It was too bad when the show dropped Sean and Tiffany in February 1995. They had Luke accidentally shoot Sean, and then Sean shipped out of town for better medical care, and Tiffany a blubbering mess. And then they were never heard from again. Not exactly a great ending. I suspect they were both axed for budget reasons?
