I have a soft spot for Chandler.  I have always ignored his flaws because I liked him.

Guy Wilson was always so goofy looking to me.  But he had chemistry with Paul for sure.

I don't even know if I'd recast Sonny.  Maybe?  I think the show would be better served getting CS back or recasting Paul.

Pre-pandemic, Precious Way had been cast in a pilot. When the pandemic hit, the pilot was put on hold and she was allowed to sign on as Chanel. The pilot got picked up, so she had to default to her prior engagement. All this brought on the Chanel recast.

Tripp should've been the next gay character in Salem. Wasn't it obvious?

 

Speaking of Lucas Adams unfortunately he's off the market ladies and gay men

I agree on Chandler. 

 

Guy Wilson had great chemistry with Christopher Sean.

 

Chandler/Guy feels like Kate Mansi/Marci Miller. Maybe with different writing or direction Guy would come alive more? 

 

I would love CS/Paul back. I miss him.

 

Sonny can be recast. I like Freddie, and like Chandler, have overlooked his flaws.

 

Same.

 

I loved early flavor Wilson.

 

Something changed and I was all for Will and Paul. Chandler and Christopher seemed to have a bro-mance and you could see they enjoyed each other. Not saying Chandler and Freddie don't but the chemistry wasn't the same at all anymore and Will and Sonny seemed more suited apart, yet still besties.

 

I'd say Guy Wilson definitely had chemistry with Christopher Sean AND Freddie Smith.

I have to say it royally sucks we have Sami and Lucas on the verge of a reunion (it's probably just a tease knowing Ron), Allie interested in both Chanel and Tripp, and Johnny finally coming to town and WILL IS OFF-SCREEN.

 

Sigh.

 

Make it make sense.

Christopher Sean was great.  Such a good find.  And he had one of the worst backstories and retcons ever but he was so charming and wasted a lot.  He had great chemistry with both Will and Sonny.  I still don't buy that John got 3 women pregnant in a span of like a year, but CS really channeled Drake in mannerisms and looks honestly.  He was exactly what I would imagine a child of Tori/John would look and be like.

Chandler vs. Guy will always be Chandler to me.  I do think Guy gave more effort most of the time and had fire chemistry with Paul, but Chandler is my Will for sure.  I think both Guy and Chandler could do a lot more with better writing.   And less Grandpa cardigans....

Yes, less grandpa cardigans please! Remember when they tossed Jack in them around 2011/2012? lol

 

Chandler is definitely my Will. Looking back I can appreciate Guy's chemistry and his effort at the time but it says it all that his Will could be easily murdered. 

 

Absolutely agreed on Paul/CS. He really made something out of next to nothing. He embraced playing John's son and loved it and it showed. It just ... worked. It shouldn't have but it did. Such a credit to CS, and even Drake, IMO.

Drake did really well with it too.  I wish John would mention Paul more.  He is literally the least obnoxious of all his children.   Blah, blah Belle and Brady.  Paul is still the coolest child. I would be okay with a recast but I think CS was given crap to play and made it his own so I don't know how it would go over.  There was just something very authentic about the way CS played Paul with everyone he was involved with. 

I feel the same with Guy.  He clearly was trying and giving it his all, but he was always just FAUXWill to me.  He wasn't a disaster.  He was just there for me.  I do think he would have been better served completely away from Sonny though at least for awhile.

Yup

Guy's Will worked with Paul be because he was his little twink lover. Paul was the mature guy of the two. 

Chandler Will was never a slut playing around which he should've been and I think that's why many loved his cheating again on Sonny with Paul. 

 

Sonny and Will stop working for me because Will was the one always apologizing to a hurt Sonny when he was responsible for the situation. Sonny was a pompous a$$ to Will and he always forgave him.

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
