In 2002 or so, ATWT had a controversial storyline where Julia (the one played by Annie Parisse) raped Jack. If I remember correctly, the rape occurred after she put on Carly's lingerie and after she forced Jack to take Viagra. I believe that she also had held Jack hostage during this whole time and had him tied to a chair (as she was raping him).

I was pretty sure that Julia then became pregnant with Jack's baby, but then I don't ever remember hearing about this story again. (I wasn't watching everyday, so it is possible the storyline was tied up logically, but I am assuming that the story was just dropped.)

that was my impression as well. They just left Miguel as a dangling plot line, never mentioning him again never fully explaining it. I remember pointing out the inconsistencies that were made as they tried to explain Caleb's backstorythat was my impression as well.

YES! I never understood that at all. Miguel's very existence made no sense when you consider the lengths Adam has gone to in order to have biological children and have those children in his life. I just assumed Asher would be Miguel, and the whole story just made no sense and then fell apart with a convenient quick addiction to send Asher and Caleb away.

Julia sent Jack a positive pee stick. She then showed up at Jack and Carly's first wedding (Oct 31 2002) and presented him with his son right after they said "I do". Carjack spent their honeymoon night with the squalling thing. Carly spent the next two months fighting her disgust of the thing (and her guilt over screwing Mike the night before she said her vows---Jack had called off the wedding and then called it back on...sigh) until of course she accepted him---then they found out Julia had kidnapped the kid and they returned him to his rightful parents.

Of course, by that time, Carly realized she was pregnant, but didn't know if Jack or Mike was the father. After six more months of sturm and drang, they remarried and Jack was the papa.

Trust me, that story was not dropped.

I never understood why they gave Emily another son anyway. The actor was fine---it was just sort of a stupid story that really trashed Larry for no real reason (as if his absentee status in Alison's life wasn't enough of a character assassination) and went nowhere, even when Hunter was on. Emily got another kid to ignore as she panted after Dusty and/or Paul. Big whoop.

I mostly think Hunter's story got dropped in the wake of the cancellation.

      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.
