I honestly think John Black took his priesthood and vows more seriously than Eric did.  Not that I think Eric was like that while he was a Priest, but his lack of concern over being fired (again) from the Church is so strange.  Eric was sad, but it felt like he was more sad over the lack of employment than being thrown out of the Priesthood.  You would think he would have a huge moral dilemma over that and speak more to the loss of that calling instead of starting to hook up with random women.  It was never a good occupation for Eric and I am not sure why RC went back to it other than the Possession.

I think the issue is that the writers just have never had any real idea what they wanted to do with Eric - JER might've had an early idea about what to do with him (I remember him stating that he wanted to position him on the canvas for a bit before moving into proper storylines a la how Mike took a while to take off as a character again). But when JER left, so did any plans and Eric has just been floundering around since.

Not sure if you've seen it or even know about it. Your guy was interviewed. It was a really good interview. He talks about many things/issues. He discusses his recent return to Days and about his character Charlie.

I had forgotten he was on the RW which can be seen on paramount plus.

Having very low expectations and just laughing at the storylines makes me enjoy this soap better.

Stacy Haiduk is just horrible playing the other characters besides Kristen. 

The only story that is compelling right now is Eric and Nicole and I've never been a fan of hers.

Everything else is ridiculous with a lot of bad acting.

Leo holding Sonny hand in yesterday's episode was ridiculous and no way would Sonny allow it.

Why am I not surprised?

I asked Alan to get Chandler. He's trying to get him. The interview won't be as great because Alan will lead the interview. Chandler is more reserved than Mike Manning. Mike took control of the interview and that's why it was so good.

Crossing fingers he gets Chandler. It shouldn't be too hard to reach him.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.
