It really just didn't fit with the show at the time and it quickly and abruptly ended. Like she had a full on breakdown then went to lily's grave and was fine. 

The two Macs story might have been worse than the breakdown but they both were so bad.  At least it gave mac and felicia something to do

We’ve talked a good bit about how Mona Kane never had any family outside of Erica and her offspring. The show never introduced any relatives from that side of Erica’s tree, and it’s assumed Mona was never even given a maiden name.

 

Come to think of it - was anyone from Nancy Hughes’s family of origin ever mentioned or brought on the canvas on ATWT?

Nicole Walker, DAYS - Her sister, Taylor Raines (this last name was never explained) failed three times to illicit anyone giving a crap about her. Brandon, her brother, was well received. His last stint was horribly done by JER, but at least he's alive. I'd welcome a return. Her mother Faye was one of the few characters that really worked with Abe. Killing her off was a mistake. And then there's her rapist father, Paul, also killed off. Heck, she even had a dog, Pookie, who they killed off too.

    • It cannot be emphasized enough that Angela Lansbury carried CBS primetime on her back through some pretty awful years from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. Les Moonves will forever be on my s--- list for the sabotage of Murder, She Wrote. 100% this.
    • Is it true that, after the transition from CBS to ABC in 1975, Edge of Night had a very short-lived very unliked "new" opening theme?  I understand it was rather quickly replaced by the Cortner and Barranco melody that lasted until the show was cancelled.  Is this true?  And if so, does anyone have audio or video of the short-lived and reviled "new" opening theme song?  
    • Greg Sumner intro in season 5 as the new villain was the finishing touch on Knots Landing going full-on 1980s primetime soap. William Devane had a commanding presence from his first episode, but I don't think he took over the show.   
    • Interesting.  Does CHCH have this as an arrangement?  Or is CBS unaware that that CHCH didn't preempt for Memorial Day, and is still ahead?
    • Olivia did have a good reason for what she did. Still, I'd think she would be slower to pass such harsh judgment on Lois since she knows what she herself lived through. I'm hoping we get a softer Olivia when she reflects on everything.   I'm going to disagree with this. I don't think the character has been ruined and trashed, and I don't think it's impossible to come back from this. Yes, a great case can be made that this is out-of-character for Lois, but I can also make a case for people doing out-of-character things when life deals us crazy and impossible moments. Because of the story we're getting from this, I think it was worth putting Lois into this situation.

    • Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but I have been a soap opera fan for only a few years. I started watching General Hospital in the 2010s on tv due to boredom. It wasn't good but it was okay enough to get curious about the soap opera genre. When I eventually got internet I started researching 90s and 2000s General Hospital. I have started only recently researching 80s and 90s Days of Our Lives. I was shocked when I found out that a black soap opera is going to be made, especially because the genre as a whole was on a downward trajectory. Now here I am as a black woman seeing a soap opera from the start. I'm all for Beyond the Gates succeeding.

    • That was so surprising to me today. I didn’t see any spoilers that this was coming up so I loved it!
