Mid 1992 is entertaining even if it's the sloppiest I've ever seen the show:
-Sheila uses her real name (OK, they don't want to confuse viewers) when applying to FC AND her reference is the place that thinks she's dead?
-Blake holds Karen hostage and the police are called. But after chilling out for a few weeks he can go about his business of selling his house, as well as visiting Taylor & Brooke.
-No conflict or any hint of tension between Taylor & her dad until she returns from her honeymoon. She then remembers his gambling past and is wary of him.
-Even though she's as close as she's ever been, Stephanie does a 180 and out of the blue accepts that Eric doesn't want her and moves on, and now she likes Taylor too.
The last one I liked, because it's nice to see Stephanie not play the loser in love for a change. But it seems like moving Sheila to B&B was a somewhat last minute decision and the writers quickly rearranged things. It makes sense that they needed to move Stephanie out of Eric's orbit for the start of Sheila getting her hooks into Eric.
Other thoughts:
-Yikes, was Lane Davies miscast as Ridge for the fill-in job. Ever seen felt like he was on a completely different show than his scene partners. I think his reputation saves this from ridicule as an all-time stinker performance.
-The zany music cues at Spectra are super annoying, but Darlene Connelly is excellent and makes everything they throw at her work.
-Colleen Dion is such a nice presence as Felicia as @DRW50 , even if the show didn't know what to do with her. I feel that because the confrontation scenes with Macy were a bust, the show began to devalue her (and scrapped the quad with Jake & Thorne). The Zack storyline feels like a worse retread of the Jake storyline. The show chemistry-tested her with the cop who investigated Thorne's shooting/Belief theft - now that would have been an interesting pairing. Her mother/daughter scenes with Susan Flannery are excellent.
-Everything Macy/Thorne/Karen is so stop & go that it's hard to get any traction.
