There was a time that I loved John & Marlena. The affair was wonderfully acted by Drake, Deidre & Wayne Northrop. I also enjoyed John & Marlena during the Kristian fiasco as well. Although, that was probably due to Eileen Davidson rocking the storyline. I haven't really enjoyed John or Marlena after that. Deidre is showing promise now that she's not chained to John in a storyline. I still think they should have kept John dead after he was killed from the car accident.

I just hope the writers continue to have Marlena be a part of Sami and Will's storylines. She's been wonderful in a supporting capacity. I'm hoping with Stefano's emergence in Bope & Jarlena's storyline we see Kate & Marlena reignite their rivalry. Lauren & Deidre are great when they're catty to each other.

You're right, Andre has not been mentioned at all since his death in 2007. I didn't like the 2007 rewrite and looking back now it seems even more of a mistake. Andre was killed three months after the reveal, Tony became a new character to anyone who started watching after 1985, and he spent a year and a half on the backburner before being killed off. And of course when rewatching storylines in 1993-1995 and 2002-2003 there are so many plot holes knowing it was Andre. Making the psycho in 2004-2005 Andre would have been fine, but not the other years.

Anyway, my point is that if the writers aren't planning to redo it again (which I doubt since Thaao isn't on the show) they should stick with the last rewrite, so Lucas worked for Andre, not Tony.

I just loved those Bo convulsion scenes. It was so rushed, Hope called, made a bitchface, Billie tried to talk, and then all the sudden OH MY GOD HE'S DYING!! And then most of this seemed to take place offcamera, with Hope looking confused. Lisa Rinna can't act that well but I don't think you can do anything with that type of scene. I was howling. I hate the idea of laughing at a soap but I'd rather laugh than be offended.

Sindacco, you do realize this is the same show that spent months upon months telling a story that ended in us finding out John/Stefano are brothers and it is NEVER mentioned. Brady is a DiMera/Kiriakis...there's so much you could do with that...but yeah if they won't acknowledge that, I doubt anyone's gonna waste time talking about Andre being Tony.

    • I totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
