Also, as much as I would have preferred CBL be approached, Eden being there for the beginning does serve a good purpose, again given Erica is MIA.

Eden though will never commit long term, so I feel it may no more of a disservice in the long run...

He can start a torrid affair with Evelyn.

Smooth.

This is Agnes Nixonville. My bet is the mysterious schoolteacher is Kitty and Kelly's triplet.

Yup, even though it seems obvious, she has to be related to them somehow. I just don't see Kelly suddenly leaving Linc and returning to Pine Valley if she didn't want to be found.

I wanna see some pictures of Brooke! Hot damn, show me the Barr!

Hell, yeah!

You oon't know what it did for my heart to see Brooke English at the top of a contract cast list in 2013. I don't think any of us could have called that even in 2010.

There's also Robin Strasser and Erika to consider at OLTL, among others, but with people like Julia Barr and David Canary and the work that was done by ABC to disenfranchise them it really is particularly like rising from the ashes.

I know, I have to pinch myself that Julia Barr, David Canary and Ray McDonnell are all on contract again!

Did I read correctly? A possible Kendall recast? Hallelu!

Girl, she better be fierce and make me forget about the past dozen years of passive Kendall.

If they ever do recast, ITA. But for now, I'd rather do without Kendall for awhile.

Jordi is just so hot. Oh the things I would do to that man.

Seriously, I hope he's the first one naked!

Very excited to see that contract cast list revealed. I am so glad Julia Barr and David Canary signed on to help anchor the show, especially considering Susan is MIA (for now).

I wonder if they will just say Erica went to Hollywood OR if she was the one that was shot and is in a coma.

I suspect they'll say she's in Hollywood and Jack left town to get over her.

I hope Ruth isn't dead

I wonder why they aren't bringing on Kathy or whatever her name is, Dixie's kid with Tad

I hope Peter Bartlett does come back.

I would really like it if they could get Michael Storm to pop in a few times again as Dr. Larry Wolek...that would be great.

Bartlett has a major role in the current Broadway re-imagining of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Early word of mouth is the re-imaginingis a mess, so I guess it'll depend on reviews how long it runs... Of course he still could do both, or filma chunk on his day off, but I suspect we won't see too much of him until after that.

Would LOVE Larry somehow returnin...

Look for @allmychildren @onelifetolive to be edgy with its use of words and clothing (or less). @tucwatkins is looking forward to it

if Tuc Watkins ever wears less clothing then he'll be nude

I loved the Project Orpheus storyline. It was definitely "out there" but it also made perfect sense, given David's history as an unorthodox doctor (he invented Libidizone), the helplessness he felt when he couldn't save the one person most important in his life (Leora), and his prior history of bringing people back from the dead (Maria and Greenlee).

The storyline really served to fix and undo the two most wrongful deaths of the past, namely Dixie and Stuart. Those are legacy characters that NEVER should have been killed off by McTavish and Pratt.

In my opinion, Project Orpheus was the best umbrella story to bring closure to David's character and involve the rest of the cast.

I myself am mixed on it, but I largely agree with you. And this is one case where it sounds like Agnes Nixon genuinely deserves some of the credit and/or blame, not just Broderick, at least judging from all the comments.

I didn't realise he was in that. Yeah, I'd heard the early reviews weren't great and that it was a bit was a mess.

Eden has arrived in CT!

Why is Eden putting down a historic town? Or does she mean boo as in scary, because of the Headless Horseman and all that? ...

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
