I'd love to see some clips of Lauren's rivalry with Gina, when Gina was going to marry Neil Fenmore. I was just thinking about Gina with Danny's visit. Wouldn't Patty Weaver have been willing to do an appearance for Christmas alongside Danny? There was a fairly recent photo of her hanging out with cast members, I think. Or will Danny mention "the late, great, Gina Roma" out of the blue. We did learn on Friday that Paul is still alive and on a ski trip with Cricket, lol.

Bill Bell put Paul and Christine in each other's orbit in 1993 during the housing discrimination storyline. I think that pairing was set up because Michael Damian was on his way out.

From what I've seen/read of Paul and Nikki's initial storyline, it was more troublemakers having a good time and I didn't think there was any genuine love there. 

I agree that Danny and Christine were genuine love.

Danny and Christine were a very romantic young couple but I also liked Paul and Christine as a couple in a mature relationship who had similar justice-oriented career goals and dealt with problems like a meddling mother-in-law and fertility issues. Danny and Cricket was more of a fairy tale where everything was perfect and it would have been perfect had Phyllis not come along. 

 

I liked the episode they did after she found out Danny never even slept with Phyllis at all. Their relationship never would have been broken up and they probably would've still been together (IIRC, Christine didn't want to go to NY when Danny was on Broadway because she hadn't passed the bar exam there, and not due to problems between them). There was a whole episode (might have been Labor Day) with clips of both couples and it looked like she was leaning Danny, but then she went to Paul and said no matter what was in the past, he was her husband and she loved him and they had a life now. I saw both couples as equally viable.

 

Not even going to get into how they later ruined it with Isabella, the rape, and Christine getting engaged to Michael which is just something I cannot ever see her doing. Ugh.

    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
