What was the reason? I watched some of today's show but Easton is so damn comatose I just couldn't make it through the scenes. If a show has to constantly paper over past stories then they should ask themselves why - this is how our iconic Cartini ended up with Clint shunning a grandchild dying of leukemia.

For all the talk of the "soapy" energy of this team, the show still feels so sluggish. The sluggishness means you have time to stop and look at the horrific and lazy acting - Steve Burton was particularly terrible today.

I know she just started, but this Kristina was way worse than I'd expected. Shocking line readings. She looks like Rose McGowan, not an 18 year old girl. I don't get why she was cast.

his father asked him to promise never to tell anyone. He was a cop and was supposed to be honorable, yet he cheated on his mother and was a deadbeat to his kid. John didnt want to tarnish his name and reputation, especially not to his mother and younger brother, so he kept it to himself until now when the past has crept back under him and he's having to deal with this sister's death

I didnt have a problem with this Krsistina's acting but she doesnt seem to fit in. She didnt seem to have any of that Davis Girls chemistry. Maybe that will change over time but she felt out of place. And her Mob Princess family reality show...does she realize that all Sonny and Alexis have to do is not sign on and bam they cant be used. I cant imagine Alexis allowing Molly to do it and Sam wont want her life on public display. All Kristina has is herself and I dont think anyone cares about her

Thanks. So that covers why he didn't talk about how she died, but not why no one in the family ever mentioned her at all. I still don't get this story.

The stuff with Maxie is just weird - this isn't being treated seriously at all. She came across as so silly today. I guess she's going to have another breakdown soon.

I just hope when this is over she and Felicia reconcile and then Felicia can leave again with a little dignity intact. If so that is the one thing I will praise RC/FV for. Kristina Wagner still has a certain presence, even if she can't act.

So, John is carrying a vendetta against the Moobster over a sister that he barely knew? Say what?

I'm sure that the barely-there connection is the best that Ron could do to explain this sudden sibling plot in a way that wouldn't completely alienate the OLTL viewers, but this just minimized the righteousness behind John wanting to take down the Moobster just a tad*.

*not that I've defected from McBain's side or anything, since anyone who hates the Moobster or his two showkilling foot soldiers is a winner in my eyes.

no they necesarily arent and I listed 2 well known examples of that

I think its more to do about Sonny trying to control her than buying her into Yale. With that said, he made a point in that she chose to go to Yale when she could have easily stayed in town, done that internship at Crimson, pined for Ethan, etc... She didnt have to go to Yale just bc she was accepted

      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.
