Tuc Watkins was a MUCH better actor back then. I dont know what happened but he got so over the top after he returned a few years back and has been a cartoon character. He was more subtle back then and David seemed more rounded and not the caricature he is today

This should have been the absolute end of the Vitctor Lord retcons

At the Dylan story point the character of Marty was already on a thin "where do you go with this character?" thread with me and them taking the dynamite out on Dylan and Marty blasted that thread into dust. Dylan was sort of generic but I really liked him for some reason and the actor was just a beautiful human structure. I would have taken Marty off the heroine plot and brought her more strongly into the Buchanan (Kevin) and Wolek fold.

LOL, that was just my sick sense of humor! Would have been awesome vintage bitchy Marty though...

I have to agree, I never really got the CC thing... plus, I swear I saw her jogging in Hell's Kitchen one afternoon and I swear she gave me the stink eye for glancing at her.

oh wow thanks dragonflies for posting that link!

same here. I hated David back then bc of the Cain comparisons and how stupid they made Tina over him. Tina at least felt like more like an equal when she was with Cain but she got very ditzy and foolish with David. I didnt care for him with Dorian but he was better off.

    • Erwin Nicholson's last episode as SFT ep was 11/21. Whitesell started 11/22/85. Erwin was on board from March 8, 1985 so less than 9 months. Whitesell lasts six months (approximately) before P&G moved him to AW for two years where he primarily worked with DePriest. Whitesell was replaced on Search by no daytime experience David Lawrence who closed out the show's last six months.

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • BTG joke immediately followed by an AMC joke (same context)
    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.
