Moral: "Be careful what you wish for."  We've been BEGGING this show to bring back Sarah Horton since before the bish had even left!  Now, some of us are wishing we could take our first wishes back.

 

Me?  I still wish DAYS had gone the age-appropriate route and cast Cady McClain to play Sarah.  I don't get how THIS Sarah seems to have aged only minutes in the 20+ years she was off-canvas.

 

 

Lemme guess: Kate has been brainwashed into thinking she's Caroline?  No, wait.  She's not really Kate.  She's Kimberly in a Kate mask.  That's it, isn't it?  That's why she's [!@#$%^&*] working at the [!@#$%^&*] pub these days.

Yeah, I remember when Pease quit, because the material was taking an emotional toll.  Of course, I understood her reasons for leaving, but I thought it was a shame, because her performances as Kimberly and her (two?) alters were, for me, the story's saving grace.

 

In an interview w/ We Love Soaps, Sheri Anderson said, if she could go back in time and/or give her younger self some advice, she would've told her to say "no" more often to "the suits."  Apparently, there were times when TPTB would "suggest" story ideas; and instead of balking, she would say, "I'm not sure, but I think I make that work."  I have to wonder whether Kimberly's DID was such a story, because while Anderson did some good work in her '90-'91 return (the introductions of Austin, Billie, Kate and Lucas; the Lombards; Isabella's illness and death), there was also some stuff she wrote that doesn't seem at all what she would've written for the show in the past.

Ah, I see, lol.

 

In that case -- yeah, that would be a story that would come to mind.  Marlena in the Pit and The Three Faces of Kimberly are two stories that didn't feel as if they were within Anderson's wheelhouse.  She's always been laser-focused on high romance, which I appreciate as much as I appreciate anything else in this genre.

 

Was Anderson still around for the revelation that Bill and Kate's affair/Lucas' conception was the event that triggered Laura's mental breakdown?  Because, if so, THAT would have been a SERIOUS misstep for her.  Say what you will about her abilities as a storyteller, but I find it incredible she would play so fast-and-loose with established, on-air history.

I don't think so. Lucas debuted mid-April 1993 and Sheri left a week later, so that one would be all on JER. And yes, one thing I will say about Sheri, much as her style never really suited me, was that she KNOWS her history. It's the one thing I have IMMEDIATELY noticed the difference with since she left as consultant under Ron.

    • Staci Greason was in Paris during this live tribute, which would have been in the middle of the night where she was. So Fairman arranged to pretape Greason earlier in the same day, and then spliced her part into the end of the video after the live feed, and it's all on the same youtube.
    • Agree to disagree. I like it. No doubt it's different. It's supposed to be. Is it dated? Yes, but then that's natural, it's from 1977. I think that reviewer needed to watch a few more episodes. It is clever but not precocious. The role reversal IMO works & well. The best thing I could advise anyone interested, is to try it for yourself, you can always quit it if you don't like it. As much of it as some of us were able to gain access to are up on the Internet Archive & also on my Rumble acct. If you need further directions, PM me. 
    • This was really amazing to watch.   They said that a lot of stuff was filmed out-of-order, over a few weeks. John's memorial service was filmed a few days before Drake died, and then there was a prescheduled pause (the studio being dark for a haitus week).  So they got the news of his passing during the break. But some of the recent stuff at John's bedside (such as his death) was filmed after that hiatus break, so not long after Drake died.

      I don't know how the actors got through it, especially Deidre. They said regarding episodes airing week of June 9th stuff, it will seem less dark to viewers, as there were some (relatively)  lighthearted moments. (not giving spoilers here).  But I guess Drake was still alive when those scenes were filmed, even though they knew he'd pass soon.
    • Thinking about where the current Cassadines are.  Alexis, Molly, Kristina, and Scout are currently active on canvas. Technically, Ace is on canvas, although we never see him. Jake is in school in Spain? Valentin and Charlotte are currently off-canvas, I think? I've lost track. I thought Valentin was in a prison somewhere, but then I remember reading something about Charlotte, and deciding if she'd live with Valentin or Lulu, but I don't remember what was decided.  I'm unclear on where Valentin is now. Nikolas is in prison. Did I miss anyone?
    • Thank you! Also, can't seem to find Oct thru December '73. I thought it was here at one time.

    • To me, he was her best romantic pairing!
    • In 1986, the writers had Zane shot twice in March and August when he died.  It’s like they didn’t know what to do with the character after they married him to Felicia.
    • Totally feel the same. Stacy’s fine, but this version of Kristen just exists for Brady’s storyline. No flashbacks, no real layers. Eileen always brought that extra spark - and her chemistry with Drake back in the day? So good. Definitely feels like a missed opportunity. Can you imagine Eileen’s Kristen walking in, all shaky, and just hugging Marlena? Both of them crying - like actual, messy, earned tears? That would’ve hit so much harder. Pure soap gold.
