One of them has played an iconic character on her show, and has always brought all of her limited talent to every scene and had several successful and popular romantic pairings.

The other has sucked the life out of a once dynamic character, and only had one pairing that really worked. It worked so well it saved her job when Gina was being courted to the show to replace her, before landing there years later at Phyllis. Emmy be damned.

Depends, does anyone know if Sweeney even gets prenominated these days? I know JS got prenominated a lot until he just stopped submitting himself around 2012/2013. I can see Sweeney getting a nom if Sony blitzes the Emmy's like they've been doing lately. It would be well deserved, but she would need a strong support base from her show to pre-nominate her, and then she would have to get threw the screening for the official nomination. She may not win, but she would deserve a nomination.

It's so weird how Kristen has just skated by on everything, and yes its laughable that Eric forgave Kristen, but can't forgive Nicole.

Eric didn't say that he has forgiven Kristen, he said it is a goal he is working towards, and that goal is for his benefit, not for her. But yes, either way it's laughable that Eric would try to forgive her and not Nicole.

I understand Eric's motivation but the hypocrisy is breathtaking - he says that he needs to forgive to get back to the person who he was, but what person was that? Somebody who was so quick to get into bed when it appeared his church career was over. That's his real reason he can't forgive her - it's not what Nicole did, it's what Eric blames Nicole for making him do - turn his back on the priesthood in a hot second. What type of d-bag thinks that way and blames someone else for his own actions and calls it betrayal? What rooting value is there in wanting a reconciliation based on this? None for me, I just don't understand why the show will not let this relationship just die already.

Looks like they cut the Aiden/Maggie scenes. They completely disappeared from the episode after that first segment (except for Aiden popping up at the end) and NBC.com had a spoiler about Maggie asking questions about Aiden's life before he came to Salem (with a picture of them at the picnic). Couldn't we cut out the JJ/Daniel nonsense instead?

JJ cant talk to anyone in his family, so the one person in Salem he can reach out to is Daniel? Really? Id rather he go to Lucas, Will or any other male relative in his family. WHY Daniel for advice on Jack?

WTF is she wearing? My god, it seems as if she and MR are alternating disastrous outfits. Shame on the person who put her in this monstrosity.

Sami's scene with Johnny was so good. Likewise with Hope and Ciara

      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.

      I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
