I liked all the random pairings in 02-03.. jack/billie, jack/sami, sami/tony, jen/colin, colin/nicole, sami/brandon, etc.. the whole late 20's-late 30's age groups were all mixing it up with eachother and a few random other people thrown on in there with john/mar & bo/hope as the main couples really.

Would they even dare mess around with pairings anymore? After Crystal Chappell was considered such a big, messy failure? I'll bet Ken Corday issued a directive that the big supercouples were not to be severely tampered with. Honestly, though, I am FFing through these 90s couples at the moment. I am only really interested in the mayoral race between EJ/Nicole and Abe/Lexie andthe Mad World/Countess Wilhemina cosmetics rivalry! Ironic that it's the "newer characters" stuff I like -- if this were GH, I would be praying for a 1990s reboot.

I don't get the Krista Allen hate really. She might not be as strong as Pinson but she sold some very important scenes.

Allen's best work was

1.) Being held hostage in Rome and given the drugs.

2.) When Billie lost Georgia in the swamp.

3.) When Billie accused Hope of being responsible for her losing Georgia.

Not to mention Allen was damn hot.

She was amazingly hot. I would have totally gone breeder for her if given the opportunity.

And I agree with your three key pieces of work. She sold me completely, and she was the best Billie to Lauren's Kate.

I never did like Lisa in the role when she wasn't opposite RKK, and you know damn well he will never be back.

Juie was just boring in the role. I needed espresso to sit through her scenes.

Krista Allen made Billie way too slutty for my taste.

Didn't the actress show her tits and ass on some ''skinemax'' movies...Emanuelle?

Oh God, and that annoying voice of hers got on my nerves.

Yeah she was good when Billie was doped up, but's that's as far as it goes for me.

I'm actually surprised people remember her...LoL

The other 2 Billie's had more acting range, IMO.

Crystal Chappells less that stellar return had nothing to do with Bope and more to do with the crappy storyline overall. I'd even argue while not a fan of hers her joining the show when she did despite the craptastic story helped give the show a slight bump. People always cry about these super couples being separated or broken up but in all fairness thats when people tune in is when there is drama happening. I wish these shows would ignore the fanbases for pete sake its ridiculous. Are people tuning in to watch Bope and Jarlena cooing at each other all day?

YAYY!! I'm excited to see Rinna and Muldoon share scenes again. They had THE BEST sister-brother chemistry. SO excited to have her back.

Don't know who they'll pair her with though. I'd like to see her look twice at Brady, unless I can get me some Brody Hutzler back as Patrick.

Swoon! SO Agreed!

I'd KILL to have RKK back as Bo. Kill.

^^^THIS!

SO. THIS.

OMG, I would positively SOON to have Deborah back as Kate. I'm sorry, but Lauren Koslow may as well be a brand new character because she's not Kate Roberts and never has been to me in all these years. I positively LOVED Deborah's Kate.

Seriously? You two have no taste. None.

Krista Allen wasn't Billie. At. All.

Stick to discussing shows you know about yall, k? Cuz you're WAY off there and the Krista Allen love is SO lame.

Is Josh Taylor your favorite Roman too?

I'm really happy about this! I loved Lisa's Billie. Especially with RKK's Bo. They were the reason I started watching Days in the first place. Loved them! When Krista Allen took over the role I had to tune out because I just couldn't stand her. I'll admit that there were other reasons too though. I love her and Patrick's Austin as brother and sister. It would be nice to see her in some scenes with MA's Jack.

    • I don't know if this counts for you but Bill Bell did a terrible short plot with an overweight character (Joann) who tried to French kiss Kay Chancellor.....if you google you'll find a link called Lezwatch.tv that has an article about it.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxpFaAp_UY/ Roman vs. Stefano, Cliff top, Beach Below This is one of the most important scenes on DAYS in the 80s. After this nothing was ever the same. DAYS 11-23-84   @JAS0N47Closing Credits roll & it's complete silence. Isn't that unusual?
    • Mack was the show's moral compass and his groundedness complimented Karen's hysteria perfectly. Also, Kevin Dobson was the best looking male cast member with a huge fan base. He was never going to be killed off...
    • As others (I think) have said, Long just didn't get Nola and Quint. I guess it would've been hard to write them into adventure type stories with two kids, but they just fell off the map after AJ's birth. (or even the wedding/honeymoon) Long would've had to rewrite something, because Alex forced the Chamberlains out of Spaulding in the fall of '84. Not that she couldn't have just ignored it and written Quint and Henry being involved at the firm. I swear there was some plot point she just literally ignored that surprised me, but as I'm floating around between years, I can't recall what it was. lol Has anyone found the first day of the Kyle/Lewis dinner party up in English? After he took over Lewis Oil, Kyle arranged a dinner party. All hell breaks loose--Mindy admits to shooting Kyle, Vanessa remembers Reva's accident, and Billy and Reva get into a screaming match and she tells HB that Billy blackmailed her out of her Lewis shares. The last three minutes (or so) of the episode are up, where Kyle tells the assembled that HB's his father. And the next episode picks up with Sally entering the fray. Y'all know I'm dying to hear Billy and Reva go at it. As dicey as '85 is, I love it anytime when Billy isn't Reva's bitch.  
    • The original premise of "Santa Barbara" was that a Lockridge (Warren) killed a Capwell (Channing), who loved an Andrade (Santana), while a Perkins (Joe) went to jail for the crime. I think once the show started to pull away the threads by eliminating Joe and naming a new killer a lot of the show's original potential was lost. I contend, like others, that the fault lied in the uninspiring casting, which leads me to wonder if that's why the show became so keen on casting soap veterans for nearly every pivotal role.  The failure of the Perkins family was definitely a casting issue followed by a lack of interest in committing to the original onscreen characterization. I was fascinated watching the early episodes and realizing that the Perkins had been financially wiped out by the trial, which was an underlying current towards John's animosity towards his son. Then, the additional complication of Marissa's nearly incestual affection for Joe that led to her cutting off John sexually was a wild moment to witness, but not as strong as it could have been with a stronger actor in the role of John Perkins. Melissa Brennan wasn't the right choice for the aspiring young vixen that Jade was intended to be. Brennan may have breathed life into Laken, but I'm not sure how Julia Ronnie would have done in the role of Jade.  Despite the recorded history, Christina Robertson and Sarah Gallagher weren't sisters; they were aunt and niece.  I don't think it would have hurt to make Marissa and Augusta sisters, but I think it would have made the Joe / Augusta seduction impossible unless you truly mimick "Rituals" and make Joe Sarah's stepson. I think a childhood friendship between the two women would have worked. It would have also given Augusta someone to confide in about the situation involving Peter Flint and herself as Marissa would have been aware of Peter from her work at the pre school. As childhood friends that were estranged by class differences, I think a relationship between Augusta and Joe (and later Augusta and a sexually frustrated John) would have had multiple layers to play out giving a deeper impact on Augusta's involvement in both of the men in Marissa's life. And because I have thought about this all too much, I would have Augusta and Marissa square off again when Jade, after marrying Ted while pregnant, learned that the little Capwell heir was in fact an imprisoned Warren's son only for Augusta to ultimately keep mum because with Ted married to Jade he wasn't free to pursue Laken.  I imagine the Andrades would have slowly been withdrawn from the Capwell inner circle as the truth about Santana, Channing, Jr., and the baby came to light for everyone. In what I seen in the 1980s, Rosa confronts C.C. once about the baby and then seems to move on. Early in the run, the actor playing Reuben claims he and Bridget Dobson had a falling out and implied that she was racist which led to the character fading into the woodwork.  I know I am like maybe one of two people who liked the 1990s run of the Dobsons, but I loved the set up for Santana / C.C. with the Andrades having owned the land that Oasis sat on years earlier posing Santana to come into money while also potentially landing a position where she could raise Gina's son with C.C. if C.C. and Santana could have secured custody of the child. With Eden gone, I would have gone back to Santana and Cruz, but if not, I think Brick should have returned to be Santana's conscience and potential love interest.     
    • Well, I'm not going to shoot you, so no worries there. If it's subpar i hate hearing that. It was an old DVD not even mine a former partner. I thought why not make use of it. Serves me right for thinking. But to be clear, white label, www.radiomemory.com 
    • Just compared the open on Friday's episode with the first week episodes. I think the difference is that the bass line is much more apparent -- stronger and harder.
    • Phew, that was close to disaster!

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.
