Victoria was heartbreaking during Bobby's death. The scene where he flatlines in the hospital you can also see the soul drain out of Pam. 

Principal could often be uneven in her acting. There are times should would knock it out of the ballpark and there were times she was coasting into Susan Lucci territory.

When Dallas started in 1978 Principal was stunning to look at with her long flowing hair and figure. Sometime in the early 80's after her break up with Andy Gibb she started with the the unnecessary cosmetic surgery and often had bad hairstyles and dye jobs with her Jhirmack endorsement deal.

Wasn't it rumored that Victoria Principal missing episodes in 1986 was due to cosmetic surgery? She was 36 in 1986 so I don't think she would have a face lift that early. We all know her second husband was a plastic surgeon so she had access to the best surgery and skin care.

What are some of you favorite storylines or scenes from the early years of the show ? 

Some of mine are:

Lucy takes off on her birthday and is picked up by Willie (played by Greg Evigan) in his custom van complete with shag carpet and 8 track. It was cheesy fun and screams late 70's. About a week after this episode aired Evigan would debut in his own series B.J. & The Bear on NBC. 

Jock's heart attack. Pam catches a half lit Sue Ellen playing lady of the manor on the stairs and confronts her. Miss Ellie walks in as Sue Ellen tells Pam she plans to take over and throw her out.

Bobby & J.R.'s plane goes down and the family tries to keep the news from Jock. Sue Ellen starts hitting the sauce and tells Pam she thinks she's a gold digger. Pam slaps the piss out of Sue Ellen knocking her to the floor. This may be one of the first bitch slaps on a soap. 

Lucy & Kit are engaged and Kit confesses to Bobby he is gay and wants to break the engagement. Bobby discusses it with J.R. who already knows all about Kit's past. He argues with Bobby that Lucy should still marry him despite the fact.

Sue Ellen is drunk falls down the stairs and Lucy is high on pills hovering over her. Ray comes in and tries to handle the situation.

        I can't believe how many different interactions we got in today's episode. Many we hadn't gotten before or for the longest time.   Everyone looked so young in their flashback scenes with John.   Great to see Will again! Chandler looked so damn hot!   It's going to be interesting to see Will be at his former lovers wedding.

    • -- That accent Cady McClain is using is awful, and it was especially bad in her first scene. Make it stop. -- I agree with all the good and all the bad about Dani, but I do not want Andre to get swept up in her craziness. He deserves better. -- "Better" for Andre is not Ashley. The crazy thing is that the Andre/Dani and Andre/Ashley stories seem to be a part of separate universes. -- The jewelry guy (Adam) who sat with Dani and Pamela had my gaydar pinging. -- I will say the writers are working overtime to make us know Dani and Andre "aren't really related." -- I don't think Leslie will be arrested next week. I think Eva is going to remove the evidence -- that motorcycle helmet -- from the apartment, and that they'll find nothing on the search. -- That wig on Sharon is rough. Wow.

    • I never liked Reva, either the first time around, or the second. My issue for the first go round was that Reva dominated the show, which was a shame because I didn't like the character.  Loud, insecure, narcissistic "look at me", "here I am, entertain me" individuals irritate me in real life.  It wouldn't have mattered to me who portrayed the character...Zimmer or someone else. Reva is a character inherently inimical to the idea of ensemble.   Post 1995, Reva was no longer a character, but a device.    
    • I have no idea why Gio would go to Sonny first since he told Emma he thought Sonny knew about him all along. Maybe to clarify if Sonny knew?  Considering Sonny didn't know Dante was his son back then it doesn't really matter. I am sure Sonny will make some wise parallel about his father leaving and his mother dying or being lied to by Olivia and Gio will see the light.
    • I know I have heard Orpheus mention it, at least in passing.  I still don't know why exactly he hates John though.  It seems Orpheus was heavily leaning into a Stefano moment of Marlena obsession, but then he always wanted to murder her a bunch so it's unclear.
    • I always thought that whoever pitched his return story in 2016 just didn't do their homework, and didn't know that the real Roman was the one who killed Orpheus' wife.
    • Xander is Victor's son, but thought he was his nephew until Victor's will.  His mom is an alcoholic who ran Sarah down then left town.  He's got a kid with Sarah and then is related to the rest of the Kiriakis brood. I would argue Orpheus lost his purpose years ago.  I lost the plot with Orpheus when his entire beef was with John and not Roman.  The person who actually killed his wife. Too be kind I'll just say it looks like Chandler was a bit out of practice at the old acting game.  He's never stopped smirking.
    • He is Victor's son so Bo and Philip are his brothers and Brady and Shawn are his nephews. Justin has remained his first cousin
