The Nick storyline was Chris Whitesell to a tee: a really well written, well plotted storyline... with no follow up. A Nick/Will rivalry that divided the Hortons could have played out for years and it could have had ripple effects for the two of them and many other characters as well.

Agreed.

The show could always use another Horton.

I can never stop crediting the Nick/Will/Gabi/Sonny drama of 2012-13 as the last time I truly enjoyed emotional character drama on a show, it was so, so good and playing alongside Kristen/John/Marlena/Brady I thought the show was on fire, especially when the script writers were trolling fans with our Daniel hate. 

Nick vs Will and all the Hortons should have lasted years but it went downhill fast after Nick came back from the dead. Ugh.

I see what you mean, though Melissa wasn't a biological Anderson either. Having that name on the show would have been a good tie-in to a history that's pretty much been forgotten. But I do like that she finally took the name Horton after having called Mickey and Maggie her parents for such a long time now. 

Nathan's father would have been a good storyline to explore as well. All the more reason he, and Melissa should be brought back.

Resurrecting Nick is easy - One of the Dimera's got Rolf to resurrect him as payback for Gabi getting a share. Forget the timelines (on the 'island'), the body rotted a decade ago, back from 'dead-dead' IS part of DAYS universe. Why bother with the brother angle - Jake is evidence that can flop easily. They should've simply brought him back as Stefan.

If only

 

Exactly

If Marlena can raise the dead, who's to say they stay dead and just crawl back into their graves? This opens a very weird door I don't think they should step through. I'm probably letting the Halloween season get away with me. LOL.

 

Nathan, Jeremy and Mike should all be on the canvas. So should Stephanie Johnson.

 

I didn't really mind. It felt like it should have been Jeremy instead of Nathan as the reluctant doctor who struggles with his desire to do his own thing and practice medicine like Mike and Tom. Nathan felt shoe-horned in even though I liked Melissa having a son who was clearly Pete's (just saying). I don't give Higley that much credit. They couldn't say both of them adopted the Horton name officially? I understand wanting to keep the Anderson as her last name but Nathan Anderson doesn't spark. I can see why they chose Horton as stupid as it was. They also weren't interested in doing anything with Melissa or Nathan's backstory. We were just supposed to care because he 'was a Horton'

I don't know. I didn't agree when a lot of people said it here, but having BB back as Jake clears him from the ick factor that Stefan would have (though he and Gabi were hot) due to the 'romance' with Abby's alter. I've since changed my mind though I do miss Stefan and Gabi.

    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.
