Looks like they changed their minds about whatever they were going to do with this story. Won't miss TT's lousy ass the few times I watch/month. That's for damn sure!

According the the hacks, Hevon are the real deal, which is why they've decided the young pairing won't have a nasty affair.

Yes, chile, who ARE you kidding? You know the only way that would happen would be if they chose to recast Neil with someone like Timothy Gibbs. ;)

I definitely think that the writers (Altman, for sure) have decided that Hevon are a real viable pair. However, I still think that the KSJ and MiM pairing was mandated and they are trying to tell a love story for Hevon while adhering to the edicts from above. i don't see Neil and Hilary's marriage ending anytime soon.

Yeah, that Barton story was axed. I used to think that he was brought on as a rival for Neil and Leslie and neil would reunite. But not anymore. That has been scrapped too, it seems. They have something else in mind for Neil. Not at all sure what that is if it isn't Hilary deciding to remain with him despite being in love with Devon.

I didn't think that Neil and Ashley was bad. I liked them. Nothing special but I don't think Neil (or any of the other vets on canvas) have enough life or story left in them to ever have a truly popular pairing again. I mean, Nick or Billy might get one if they put them with a black chick. But that's it.

Actually Neil was the one who broke up with her (and sold indigo) before she could admit cheating so he could focus on Lily and her kids. His family needed him, he said. It was around the time Cane died. To this day, Neil doesn't know that Ashley cheated on him with Tucker.

It is now. But I was peeved that they made it inconsequential then. Especially with Tucker having taken control of CI under Neil's watch and the revelation of Devon being Tucker's kid on the horizon. TPTB really missed the opportunity to make Tucker and Neil rivals.

      And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!

      The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

      It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that.

      I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

      I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.

      Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.

      I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).

      Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
