Yeah, I wonder what kind of sales soap opera magazines get in general nowadays. Back in the day up until at least the mid-2000's it was always DAYS and GH as top dogs on the magazines. I could see a special for DAYS, with some heyday moments on the cover, like 80's Bo & Hope, a demon-possessed Marlena, etc. etc.

Maybe the folks at People are just ABC Daytime fans

One Life only got a SOD/SOW farewell inssue, no People one like AMC got as well. I have the GH anniversary People magazine but I thought SOD didn't do one...

Imo the 50th anni Day Sod is far superior to the People GH one

Yeah, that was true for the AMC SOD special issues compared to People's (though it had nice pics.)

One Life didn't get a full cover or is its own issue of People, but it DID get a special article and some exclusive photos taken for it. And I have the special SOD magazine they did for it too, along, with the GH one (I'm embarrassed to say I read it so much the cover fell off! --I have the People issue too, along with AMC's), and I just recently got the new one for DAYS, too .

does anyone else realize that it's April. That magazine was very premature. the show's anniversary is at the beginning of November. I think in November, there will be many tributes. Soap Magazine, the CBS magazine (probably, since they do have a days section), and maybe even the regular media newspapers will have blips about it. i bet the evening news might even have a blip about it. but all this won't be happening until November. late October the earliest.

I bet People will either come out with a special issue or have a nice article in the magazine about the show.

They should have done more with her but considering that I'm not sure how popular she ever was compared to Meg Ryan, I suppose being more of a B-heroine was inevitable. What I've seen of the pairing with Josh has some compelling moments but is more about showing us he's a good person rather than being about Betsy.
The relationship does get one of her best scenes (one I'm not ever sure was from Marland or a strike writer because it feels much more out of control than most of his ATWT run), where she digs at him for sleeping with "cousin Meg" and when he can't take it anymore, nearly asks if he's going to rape her before she stops herself.

Thanks for the clips and mini-reviews @Maxim . I appreciate that you also recap the moments you don't show.
I didn't realize the hot therapist stayed around this long. I suppose it makes sense to keep bringing him back to unwittingly cause chaos. About a year before this Another World had an evil female psychiatrist, plotting to get a man. There was something in the water in those years as the big screen and softcore movies loved that theme too.
The scene with Viki and Bo is moving, but I wish they'd brought up Viki's late husband, Joe. Like Sarah, he also "died," returned from the dead, and died for real. I guess they may have thought connecting to recently deceased Megan was more organic, especially as Sarah was her sister.
The Dorian on display here is who we'll be getting for a while to come, just in a much more outwardly neurotic and histrionic form once Elaine Princi is gone. I don't love when the show uses Dorian this way, but I know they need her to move the plot along. The moment where Viki nearly snaps is great.
Your mention of the "circus" with characters like Alex reminds me of how some fans talk about novelas, and the cores of them. They too are critical of some that have a "circus" atmosphere. Alex would probably fit into that type of show. Actually, much of OLTL at this time does remind me of them - Blair's schemes with Asa, Addie and the scissors, Clint/Viki/Sloan, Dorian, Luna and Death, Marty, Suede, etc. That high octane, operatic feel.

I think Frost is a really unique presence. She was not suited for being chained to what seemed like an already dated couple. I wish they'd made more of her time post-Steve, though I will reserve judgment on the controversial pairing with Josh.

Thanks @Paul Raven . Hamtramck, now known for much uglier things than Gail Kobe...

There was a scene with Alex in the drugstore, eating some ice cream on a stick. It was hard for me to imagine Marj's Alex doing that, although Marj did seem to have fun with the moment (and her Alex was initially given a more common touch, like playing basketball with Buzz - I'd love to see Bev in those scenes).

I agree Bernau managed to find the line. I think Raines could have too, but not as easily.
My biggest issues with Raines were a lack of charisma and lack of chemistry with leading ladies. Clearly, he had that in his stage career, but I rarely saw this in his work as Alan. Bernau is fascinating in every glimpse, whereas Raines would have been a slightly sourer grandfather in the Werther's Originals ads.
There also seemed to be no real long-term plans for him after the Mr. Tashiwa nonsense, maybe due to the frequent writer turnover in JFP's last year. The best they figured out being a pairing with Tangie does suggest JFP had another actor in mind, although I have no idea who. I wonder if she may have wanted Jed Allan. I think pages ago there was a list of potential Alans mentioned in Soap Opera Update or another magazine at the time. I can't remember the names. Joe Gallison may have been one, but I am not sure.

Not surprising since this show has about a million characters right now yet only focuses on a very select few.
