1. Could Max & Gabrielle in late 2001 on OLTL actually be considered a reunited couple? Because looking back, I don't know if that would count or not. Did they even say they loved each other then (Gabrielle said she loved him, but did Max?)?

2. Was Max in love with Gabrielle in 2003? No matter how many times Luna was mentioned, and despite the fact that he left town after Al's death, I personally think he was. Knowing there was supposed to be a Max/Gabrielle/Bo/Nora quad only confirms it--there were seeds for it in early-mid 2003 before Al's death.

Has Hogan Sheffer had one decent story - beginning, middle, and end - in his entire career as a soap writer?

  • Member

I couldn't stand Hogan's writing for most of his daytime career, but I will admit that he did give ATWT a much-needed kick in the pants for his first year and a half there. By one simple act (the break-up of Barbara and Hal's marriage), he started a chain reaction that led to Barbara's involvement with Craig, which led to her almost being burned to death, which led to Evil Barbara, which led to the Vendetta against Carly, Emily and Rose, which led to ...well, you get the idea.

As for my question....

I've never really watched DAYS, but I sort of knew what was going on through osmosis LOL. What I don't understand is the Sami/E.J. relationship. When E.J. was born, wasn't Sami already a bitch-on-wheels, wreaking havoc throughout Salem? Wouldn't she be WAY older than E.J.? Yet they are portrayed as being roughly the same age. Isn't she old enough to be his mother?

Is Felicia's grandmother still alive? When either KW or SF last left, Felicia went to Texas to care for her dying grandmother for awhile. When she came back for Georgie's funeral, she said she was in (I think) a hospice facility because she was too ill for Felicia to care for her (and this was a few years later, too). Is she still alive, dead, or will Mariah's existence forever be in limbo? laugh.png

They just aged EJ without mentioning it.

I thought the Barbara stories were garbage for most of Sheffer's run - I get that they were high camp, but I never saw any actual plotting in them. Just set pieces basically.

4. That list could go on. My #1 would be Anthony Geary as Luke on GH. Luke hasnt been relevant in ages and should have been axxed years ago. Im not sure keeping him on is to placate fans though as I dont think TPTB care about us.

You don't think there would be a major fan backlash if Geary was fired? I get the impression that he is glad to be out of the whole Luke/Laura thing, but I'm not sure why.

I can't really remember any of Sheffer's storylines. I did enjoy that flirtation between Lily and that Australian guy and Hunt Block's version of Craig, but I can't remember any actual stories. Hmmmm.....

They had a child. They had an affair. They acknowledged they were in love with each other. They were engaged to be married. They were a couple.

Going around wearing a signboard does not make a couple.

That is agree with. Their love story was being kept apart by circumtances. For some reason, unless a couple gets married and is tied together for eternity they were never given a chance. Liz and Jason had story from 2006 to 2008. Fans didn't like it that's on them and the writers.

Felecia put Mariah in a nursing home. Mariah is still living unless Felecia says something different now that she's back.

GL:

Just how crazy WAS Roxie Shayne to:

1. Go crazy when Johnny RECOVERED from cancer?

2. Spend the remainder of GL in the loony bin (unless someone said something later on)?

OLTL:

How long did it take Tina to:

1. Break away from her family (between 1997-2008)?

2. Move from Baltimore (she moved from my home state! Waah sad.png ) to Detroit (Sarah mentioned this to Joey in 2003), to Mendorra (and it's possible she lived many other places before she got there, too)?

  • Member

I think Reva said in later years that Roxie was now living on a ranch, but I can't remember, that may just be what the actress did.

  • Member

Just because someone has story doesn't make them a couple. Furthermore, one may not need to wear a signboard or get married for all eternity, but they sure need more than clandestine hookups to be considered as any kind of couple.

When was the last mention of GL's Trudy Bauer or ATWT's Edith Hughes?

  • Member

Did Gabrielle ever mention her mother (who went to prison when we last saw her in 1992) or sister once she returned to Llanview in 2001?

Max mentioned how much Al loved going to Argentina with him and Gabrielle on a family trip after Al's death. Was this supposed to be their honeymoon? (and if it was, was it mentioned that they went there after their wedding in 1990?)

Is Tommy Horton dead?

He might as well be. :(
