I don't know if you are ok with spoilers (I kinda assume you are from your post but it's always good to check) so I'll just put some key dates to give you an idea how long it lasted.

If you want I can give you a more detailed timeline with lots of spoilers in another post.

November 16, 1994 - the beginning of the "Queen of the night" storyline, the prologue for the possession storyline.

December 2, 1994 - the beginning of the Desecrator storyline, a major subplot of the possesion storyline.

December 23, 1994 - The possession fully kicks off

May 30, 1995 - The exorcism begins.

July 5, 1995 - clip show of the possession lol

July 18, 1995 - The possession ends.

 

so from November (or December, depending on your preference) right through until July. It was very long lol.

EDIT: should add that I got these dates from Bethsdayspage which still exists via the internet archive wayback machine.

I much preferred the scenes where the MarDevil is out and about (once we get to the exorcism it's just weeks and weeks of Marlena's penthouse bedroom lol).

My favourite mini arc from the possession is the one that starts on Horton Island (EDIT: Horton cabin on Smith island) and goes on from there for several episodes.

I love the Horton Cabin stuff too.  Without giving much away, Marlena trying to seduce Father John in a variety of ridiculous ways and Kristen being right but sounding like a lunatic always cracks me up.   And the stuff directly after is good as well.

There is sort of a lull after that where people wonder is she or isn't she possessed and then we are stuck in Marlena's (lovely) penthouse bedroom for a long time.

The ending is nice as well, but it's not a quick road to get there lol.

Lol I also loved Sami during the possession. She hated Marlena because of her affair, but at least briefly Mardevil and Sami became close and Sami began confiding in her and taking her advice, which of course led to disaster, haha.

    • Better than 90 percent of what I see today on my screen. Absolutely mesmerizing.

      I LOVED HER TOO! She was crazy but great on Desperate Housewives! And that "The Powers That Be" show in which she was John Forsythe's daughter as well! Many people she would've done a great Maris on Frasier too
    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
