Every time Stefano would return on Days, he used to say" It's so good to be back."

Marlena- "Oh my!"

Oh! ATWT- "Hello Barbara".

I know he did it at least 3 times.

GL's Josh and Reva - "Always" That's one of the biggies of all time!

And I loved how OLTL's Asa Buchanan would call any woman he did not like a "she Devil"

I think he threw in a few hellcats too!

This wasn't really a catchphrase per se, but does anyone remember when Lisa McColl (ATWT) said something like "I don't get headaches, I give other people headaches"? Something like that.

I loved on Days when Nicole was married to Victor and John used to call her "Nikki K."

From watching Retro TV's reruns of The Doctors, Dr. Nick Bellini (Gerald Gordon) would holler "for crying out loud" an awful lot. LOL

Katherine on Y&R 'What on God's Green Earth?'

Jack - "I don't give a flying fig'

Also Jack's names for Victor - the Black Knight and Moustache and Brad - Bradski

Several 70's Y&R men - 'beautiful lady'

Lila Quartermaine: "That will be quite enough!"

They even had Emily yell this during one of the Lila memorial episodes to shut up the fighting in the Q family room, which, at the time, I and many others found . . . well, unnerving (to put it politely). In retrospect, I actually think it was perfect.

Every time Stefano would return on Days, he used to say" It's so good to be back."

Marlena- "Oh my!"

She says "oh my gosh!" and "golly" a lot, too.

Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald - "It's fate!"

ACK!!! You had to bring up Theresa and "fate". LOL We definitely heard her say that about 12 billion times throughout the show's run, didn't we?

I loved Holden and (Real) Lily, but if I heard them say "we're a part of each other" one more time, I think I would have vomited.

"Goodbye, daddy."
🔷
Wow... here we go again. Last time I regularly watched "All My Children" was in late March. After that, I embarked on a big OLTL adventure (which I'm still on), and I promised myself that I would return to Pine Valley the moment I feel the need to switch things up a bit. As I near the end of 1992 OLTL, I decided... to attempt and watch both soaps at the same time. I will probably watch on rotating basis, some days - OLTL, other days - AMC. I just need change! I'm not sure if the show will not pull me in a huge binge again. Last time I was watching it... I went through nearly 2 years in just... couple of months. Some days I would skip sleep, because I couldn't stop. I think you guys remember. So, let's get started, shall we?
🔷
Let's get through the big stuff first. Dixie, Adam, and the first stage of the "Gaslight" storyline. I recall in earlier episodes, Adam hid the baby to traumatize Dixie. Now, he continues his evil plan by making her question her sanity. Initially, he suggested she see a psychiatrist, but once she considered it, he claimed she didn't need one. He's sending mixed signals to confuse her. The same goes for the babysitter situation. One moment he's urging her to hire someone, and the next, he's twisting her own words against her. It's almost painful to watch someone as inexperienced and naive as Dixie get manipulated like this. But of course, there's her guardian angel watching over her, and his name is Tad. It's always nice to have an angel like that, isn't it?
🔷
This leads me to Tad seeking help for Dixie... from Skye. 😆Oh my, he is such a typical guy. How could he possibly think that Skye, who is pathologically jealous of the baby and incredibly toxic IN GENERAL, would return to her father's mansion (from where she was thrown out like a dog), which I like to refer to as "The house of pain" and "HELP" Dixie? Skye was appalled by the idea, as expected. She unleashed a stream of hateful remarks about Dixie, calling her stupid and claiming she sets women back by decades. I almost forgot how catty this show can be. It has a completely different vibe compared to OLTL. Then, triggered as hell, Skye decided to pay him a visit... this time declaring her "departure" from town. But how many times has she done this now? Isn't this another one of her manipulations? Or has she finally seen what we all see - the monster that Adam is. Undoubtedly the clip of the day. "I don't think that you know how to love... only control."
🔷
And did you think that Adam cried or even thought about this for more than 10 seconds? About his precious firstborn leaving town? Of course not, he knows that she'll be back... and now... Adam's primary focus is... you guessed it - Brooke! Just an hour ago, he was speaking to Dixie as if she were the most DEAR person in the world, and now here he is... begging for his ex's attention. Attempting to exploit her kindness and compassion to worm his way back into her life and heart. Thinking that some type of fake charity will make her trust him again. But here's the twist... that girl he is trying to make crazy, that "stupid" girl - she overheard everything. Dixie was at the door and she heard what Adam was saying to Brooke. I love when karma does her job.
🔷
Now... you might have forgotten, but during our last talks about this show... months and months ago... Nico and Cecily were in a predicament - Phoebe and Cecily's annoying mother discovered that she and Nico are "not" actually husband and wife and threatened to pursue legal action. So now we sew Cecily turning to Jackson for legal assistance, trying to stop the fraud allegations. I almost forgot how annoying Cecily was... and how hot Nico was. One small detail that shocked me was this adorable blonde that Jackson kissed on the lips... as she was leaving his office. JESUS, Jackson. I remember you and Erica were having some disagreements before she left to "search for the clown"... but how DARE you kiss another woman while my girl Erica is away chasing after ghosts?! I was absolutely triggered. LOL. I can't wait for Erica to return! He deserves a slap just for that kiss!
🔷
Final thoughts - I know I've repeatedly promised our dear @alwaysAMC that I'm coming back to AMC, and... well... I FINALLY did. And... It's like I never stopped watching. I remember the show is currently still written by the recently departed Margaret DePriest (may she rest in peace)... and I have couple of months till I get my first taste of Agnes Nixon material. I'm still in a bit of adjustment period, but the main storylines are still vivid in my mind and these 2 new episodes were a breath of fresh air.
Overall - 10/10 - I'M BACK.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Matt Ashford seemed to be accepted as Jack Deveraux on Days, even when as a villain. So much so, that even though he was actor number three in the role, he is seen as the definitive Jack.
(The story about - I think it was Jack actor #2 - allegedly making Mary Beth Evans uncomfortable with Drake Hogestyn (RIP) and Stephen Nichols basically warning him off - I can see why the change behind the scenes was welcome! Seems the viewers agreed over time...

I get confused about the overlap as I think there may be a flashback of Sherry's Liza and Steve, but most of her run did happen after he was gone. And to many she is likely the definitive Liza.

Brenda was the first Ashley I ever saw, and I always liked her. It did seem, now that I've seen some of Eileen's first run, they did deemphasize Ashley somewhat (especially Brenda's last few years in the role), but I think viewers liked her. They certainly liked her much more than Shari Shattuck...

Keep in mind that I'm looking at this through the lens of my teen years - and only a very occasional watcher, as this soap wasn't my favorite but watched casually so my grandmother would have someone to talk to about her shows - but was Brenda Epperson embraced quickly as Ashley after Eileen Davidson? I seem to remember her version of Ashley being popular, albeit as a much more traditional heroine.
But again, I may be misremembering this one...

Sherry Mathis as Liza on SFT.
Meg Bennett was very popular and again Hope Busby hadn't clicked as the first recast, so audiences were probably ready to check out a new Liza.
The timing was right as Liza was widowed so didn't have to share scenes with Steve and the new romance with Travis took off, giving Sherry the best opportunity to shine.
