Excellent Roman and Kayla scenes. Best work I’ve seen from Josh Taylor. That was real emotion there. Awesome comments to wrap up Roman and John. Deidre Hall was once again perfect. When she slightly snapped at Abe and Paulina for asking about the funeral. Just perfect. Hope we get a lot more of Julie with Marlena. As rude as it is, I wish they would’ve done another Eileen/Stacy switch for this story. Stacy’s Kristen is completely defined by Brady and we don’t get flashbacks. The balls on EJ to show up at Marlena and John’s home. It was so perfect and sad. -
It could have been interesting, given that she and Alex were friends. I imagine he would have ended up bringing out her Solita personality. For all the talk of crazy fans, for a long time fans did seem willing to embrace the rivals of...well, Reva's rivals. (no wonder Kim felt insecure as it happened three times with her) You don't seem to get as much of the tribalism until the "Manny" era. I guess some might say "Matessa" too, but as I could not stand Dinah in those years, I am not one to talk about their fans if they managed to repeatedly put the kibosh on a Matt/Dinah pairing. And at least that did not seem to involve death threats. -

1976 Pt 4 Viki is stunned to learn from Dr. Jim Craig that her father may never speak or be mobile again. Dorian bravely assures her that she’ll devote her entire life to Victor and if anyone can help him recover, she can. Alone with Victor, Dorian tells him she knows he hears her and she was wrong—she lashed out at him from hurt. She insists that none of it is true, that Tony is lying to try to drive her away and be Victor’s heir. Dorian then accuses Tony of causing Victor’s stroke, saying he could have killed him. But learning that Victor made three phone calls after his visit convinces him that his father was fine after he left and Dorian’s fine hand is at the base of this. Dorian insists that Victor be released into her care as soon as possible; she'll set up all necessary facilities at Llanfair., When Dorian walks in while Viki is reading a letter from Tony to Victor, she interrupts the reading, claiming it’s upsetting Victor. Viki tells Tony, however, that Victor was fine listening to his letter and it was Dorian’s entrance that upset him greatly. Dorian is delighted when a Lord Enterprises attorney informs her she’s going to receive Victor’s power of attorney on a temporary basis. Tony is furious that no one is challenging this, but Viki explains that they can’t do anything, as the law is on Dorian’s side and a challenge would only be a public statement of lack of trust in Victor’s wife. Viki insists that Victor’s welfare is being safeguarded, but Tony points out that. none of the people who care for him are with him at Llanfair. Joe is with Victor when he seems to rally and speaks Joe’s and Dorian’s names. Over Joe’s observation that Victor wants to continue, Dorian quickly administers a sedative, insisting this effort is too taxing. The following day, Peter, at Llanfair to give Dorian some Free Clinic reports she’s requested, overhears Victor say, “Phone . . . get me Hanson” (one of his lawyers) and sees Dorian quickly sedate him again, saying he can’t have any visitors for fear of overexertion. The very next day Victor is taken back to the hospital by ambulance, in a coma. Told that Victor is conscious but near death, and calling for his daughter, Dorian, knowing that Viki and Joe are waiting in the courtyard, intentionally sends the nurse to look for them in Jim’s office, delaying their arrival until Victor is no longer able to talk. Viki sits with him for a few moments, then must leave, and shortly thereafter Jim tells her, Joe, and Tony that Victor has died. . Vinnie is horrified to learn his wife Wanda, is the “Lana-Sheen Lady,” a cosmetics saleswoman. He tells her she violated the trust of their marriage by intentionally concealing that she was working, something he had forbidden, insisting he must be the breadwinner in the family. But Wanda warns Vinnie that there is more to this than the money, that she needs to feel she’s accomplishing something with her life. Vinnie does think it through but questions the safety of going door to door. Wanda then springs Tony’s offer that work for him at Tony’s Place, initially infuriating Vince, who claims Tony is a wolf. But a visit to the club shows Vince that Wanda does indeed have considerable talents for running a restaurant establishment, and he gives his approval. Despite Cathy’s continued insistence that they not marry but go on as before, Tony is willing to let her have things her way, and their relationship has resumed. Pat tries to reassure her son, who thinks Cathy is not very nice, by explaining that it’s difficult for Cathy to be with children, since she recently lost her own little girl. But the pain of facing Tony and Cathy’s relationship becomes too much for Pat and, needing to tell someone, she confides in Viki the true story of Brian’s parentage. Viki tells Pat she must tell Tony the truth and she should fight for Tony if she still loves him and give her son his rightful father, especially since Tony and Brian were good friends from the moment they met. Cathy, however, is growing suspicious of the easy closeness between Pat and Tony and questions him about their old relationship. Tony insists that their relationship was a brief romance, too short to be earthshaking, and assures her that Pat didn’t rebound into Kendall’s arms they had known each other long before Rio. But Cathy is not satisfied, and pursues her inquiry in New York, where she finds that Pat didn’t marry Paul until after Brian’s birth. This confirms Cathy’s suspicions, and she decides she has to act now to keep Pat from taking Tony from her. Pat, meanwhile, has decided to tell Tony the truth and arranges a meeting with him. She is stunned when he walks in with Cathy and introduces her as Mrs. Tony Lord. Pat says nothing, and later has to tell her embittered son that he’s going to have to accept Cathy as Tony’s wife whether he likes it or not. Viki, learning of Tony’s marriage, rushes to console Pat, who castigatés herself for having wasted so much time on a man who doesn’t love her. She knows she'll have to tell Brian the truth someday, but is sure that if he learned the truth now he would feel deserted by Tony, just as he feels deserted by Paul. Tony and Cathy’s married life begins on an idyllic plane, with Cathy eagerly making plans for a child. Tony has read Cathy’s book and wonders if she’s not | dealt too severely with a central character who bears an unmistakeable resemblance to Viki. Cathy admits that this is true, and Pat, working with Cathy’s agent, has already suggested revisions. Pat finds Brian having nightmares, and the boy admits his uncertainty about his father’s death, as Paul’s body was never actually identified. Concerned, Tony spends time with the boy, upsetting Cathy, who sees him as a threat. Cathy’s agent mentions to Pat that Cathy interrogated him about the details of her marriage and her child, and Pat suddenly realizes Cathy knows. She confronts Cathy, accusing her of marrying Tony to hold on to him. Cathy tries to insist that she doesn’t know what Pat’s talking about, and counter accuses her of trying to break up her marriage. Pat then leaves, saying they’ll discuss it when Cathy’s ready. -
Michelle Forbes really captivated GL viewers so it was smart of Long to take advantage of that. When I looked back at news items and letters to the editors, I found so many letters to the editors/columns upset she was not nominated for Best Actress the year before she was nominated for supporting actress. I read somewhere that they had planned a major storyline with Sonni and Roger but that it never came to pass because Forbes wanted to leave the show. I wonder what they had in mind. -

Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping. So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.Please register in order to view this content
Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene. I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer! So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess. I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this -

Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).
-
It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something. -
Ohhh yes, these were exciting! What year was this? Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.
