and he was scorned by his "true love". In that moment he lost faith in her and what they had and dealt with that grief by moving into the arms of another woman. I thought it made sense in context with the story

The problem I had with these stories were they were mostly about shock value or making some statement, or propping other people, not the characters, or even a coherent plot. I had the same problem with that Aidan/Kendall "grief sex" garbage.

It actually seemed in character to me at the time--but I haven't watched since then. And I don't remember JR peeingon Zoe though he didn't help her--I think I would have remembered, lol...Jeffrey Carlson is a great actor--of course he seems type castr as transvestites and transexual--he played Marilyn in the musical Taboo, as well as Billy int he premier of Albee's The Goat.

^ Why I do believe it is! I never really liked Dixie, so I didn't care that she died. I just disliked that they kept bringing her back from the dead.

Wow! I love that person for capturing ALL those ABC soap episodes. I can't seem to get into the GH ones every time I try to watch...I wish SOAPnet was on long enough so that they could get to 2008 which I thought was great ALL around.

Agreed LOL.

laugh.png Yep. Every time I see Dixie at the Chandler mansion I think about the travesty that's to come.

Also thinking about it, Dixies murder having to do with the Satin Slayer makes no sense. Pratt actually did a clever thing bringing Alex Cambias back & revealing he didn't kill Dixie. I'll always be annoyed that wasn't fully cleared up.

I thought they said she ate what was supposed to be for Babe.

If Pratt had stayed I really wonder if he would have had it where Adam murdered Dixie. He seemed to have little use for the character, beyond an Annie prop.

If the pancakes were for Babe (I can't remember LOL), then oh yeah! NVM. Pratt opening up that can of worms was interesting, but ended up being stupid because he never finished! And now I'm confused - so someone else was still trying to kill Babe (but not the Satin Slayer) or Dixie?

The Satin Slayer was trying to kill Babe. He made her favorite breakfast. Dixie ate it instead.

The rewrite seemed to be done solely to give more people reason to want to kill Adam.

That's the part that never made sense. It made sense for the Satin Slayer to be targeting Babe and want her dead, after all he poisoned her favorite meal. However Pratt re-wrote it as Adam trying to kill Dixie and that never made any sense either. blink.png

Basically. The re-write didn't add anything to the story and only made everything more complicated.

To be fair Pratt didn;'t even really commit. He made it sound like maybe Adam did, but they pretty conveniently dropped that by the time Pratt was gone--wisely. I do wonder though how Alexander Cambias seemed to know that Dixie wasn't killed....

    • There are so many beats that could be played with relationships and history b/w  characters. But cast/set restrictions (and loust writing) are destroying that. Really liked seeing Jack and Nikki catch up. Trouble is, in the current version of Y&R it had to continue the entire episode. Hearing Lily talk on the phone to Maddie-how much better if we had actually seen the kids during Cane's return. Would the original actors return for a short stint? Maybe not and perhaps they don't feel a recast would work. All of this could have been avoided by letting BF be a new character. For the amount of difference it's made , there was really no need to bring back Cane.
    • Zeman said Marland created Barbara Jean Spencer, they called her Barbara until she and Monty decided Bobbie would be better as a nickname. It was almost Barbie IIRC, and they didn’t think that was right. She also has said on more than one occasion that she came in during the transition and Monty didn’t hire her, but ended up liking her. So Scotty and his friend must have been talking about her. This episode was fascinating. I am so happy it was shared. I can absolutely see why the show was in trouble. It’s lifeless and old fashioned as far as dialogue and some of the staging. Monty herself said she threw those episodes out, so that makes me think they were even worse. Which really made sense to me watching this because I only saw a glimpse of Monty in the less static scene with Rick moving all around while talking to David and the same type of staging with Scotty, Laura, and his friend’s name I cannot remember right now. That long ass scene through Monica’s eyes was very old fashioned as far as style. I can also see why the ratings started rising relatively quickly. Most of the earliest Monty shows I have seen are a few months later, and the show is very different. It moves, the characters are more intense, the staging has movement, and it feels more modern for the time. By the time you get to 1979 it’s really rocking and I totally get it in a way I didn’t before just from seeing this. Genie was so young to play that story with creepy Hamilton. And Kin sure was cute as nice guy Scotty.
    • Kate previously shadow directed or directed some scenes? on Days before GH, so it's been a passion of hers for a bit.
    • Who is monitoring her spending? Maybe the upshot is that Leslie is spending way beyond her means and she'll end up broke again. The house will be repossessed etc, Part of her comeuppance.
    • Kimberly McCullough shadowed at GH and completed an ABC directing program, but I don’t believe she was ever credited as director or given an episode of her own to do. One of the reasons why she got work so quickly was because she had multi-cam knowledge from years on soaps.
    • Do not apologize for this. I was thinking just today it's bringing me fond memories of when I was a teen of Angie and Jessie. Jenny and Greg, Philip and Beth. And although they were teens, Steve and Betsy.  I like a good teen story. 
    • Yeah Suzanne mentions Y&R here  (no spoilers in the article) https://www.tvinsider.com/1227485/days-of-our-lives-suzanne-rogers-anniversary-maggie-storylines-mickey-victor/
    • I wonder if she may be transitioning to behind the scenes.  How many GH actors have also directed while acting on the show?  
    • Despite my wish that Ric get revenge on Alexis and the gang, I really enjoyed their scenes today. RH and NLG have honestly never lost their chemistry with one another. Seems like Carly genuinely let herself give into Brennan today and regret it. Also just cause I smoked earlier it, it randomly hit me for the first time in over a decade. They had Michael murder Claudia played by the actress that played all of the most important early Michael stories. Kinda twisted lol
