I liked today's episode. I'm not even big on holidays, but I like seeing these characters have some normal moments.

I liked Anna's singing, but I'm not a music expert, so all I know is it sounded good to me. Anna has turned out to be a pretty girl, so if they brought her back this summer to be in a teen set that would work for me. Not that I think everyone on this show has to be conventionally beautiful, but the powers that be sure seem to.

I felt bad for Vikki and I'm glad the show hasn't forgotten that she was Lucy's mother for awhile. So often shows brush these connections under the rug.

Neil can't even refer to Sofia as his wife without cringing. It kind of pisses me off. No one held a shotgun to your head my friend.

I LOVED the look he gave her during Ana's performance. That was not a look of love but one of, "Bitch, would you roll up off me, please?" laugh.png

Nevertheless, if Neil finds marriage to Sofia so repulsive, then what the hell was he doing conceiving a child with her in the first damn place? She's good enough to get your freak on, but not good enough to put the ring on the finger???

And you're right, Carl, about the criticisms toward Ana. Most of the time, it went like this:

NEIL: Ana, would you pass the raspberry jam, please?

ANA: Sure! And I can sing while I doing it, too!

If everyone was feeling low, she'd sing to cheer 'em up. If everyone was in good spirits, she'd sing to celebrate their good mood. If someone went outside to check the weather, she'd sing when they got back to fetch their umbrella. UGH.

I saw a bit of yesterdays show and couldnt tell if the script calls for Diana Degarmo to be so over the top or if she's just a bad actress

AH has never looked better as Victoria. Her hair looked great and I loved the dress. Ditto on Chloe

This women is still around as Katherine. She comes across younger

Has MCE started yet?

Today's episode was GREAT... for a change. Of course, anything with flashbacks is what I want to see! I also like this combining the newer "stand alone" Christmas episode for one character with Bill Bell's "Christmas Miracle" that he always used to do. My only issue was this. If the "angel" was supposed to be Nikki's mother, why didn't she recognize her, at least from pictures? Even if her mother died when she was 2 or 3 or whatever... she at least should have known what her mother looked like from pictures. They should have had her recognize her immediately, and keep the rest of the episode the same. So.... is this the first on screen confirmation of Douglas' death? I said long ago the death of Douglas should have been worked into the story... but they never did it as far as I know. But they didn't even Give Liz Foster a funeral, so what do you expect? I'm glad to see Jeanne back, although she looks VERY tentative in her movements. I hope she's ok.

I also wanted to point out, look at those first 3 flashback scenes... I'm pretty sure the first two were from 79, and the third from 1980 or 81.... and notice how DARK the lighting was. Damn I miss that. And also notice what a GOOD actress Roberta Leighton was, and how BAD John Gibson was. Talk about wooden dialogue delivery. We know where all the blood in HIS body was! LOL

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
