Also- Part of it was Steve decided he was a serious actor so no more shirtless scenes, even though he clearly had the body for them. But we had others to take up the slack- GV’s Lucky, for one. Plus Maurice had zero problem with a sex scene.

Can you imagine a soap hunk in the 1980’s refusing to play love scenes? Hell Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell hated each other at times during their original run. The show kept them together anyway!

Today’s episode fell very flat for me which is insane because on paper this material should be riveting. An alcoholic finding his father dead in bed then breaking his sobriety before calling the ambulance and later having to tell his brother who’s on the way to his honeymoon. All of this should’ve been heartbreaking but…stilted direction and mediocre acting (Chase’s reaction to the death news looked more suited to being told their flight had been canceled) just didn’t land the punch for me.

Don’t care about Alexis and Diane, Joss and Dex are a snooze fest and this Kristina stuff isn’t working either because her naivety just isn’t believable.

Dante telling Sonny he can’t carry water for him anymore was the only highlight. Dominic Z does solid work and MB played Sonny’s desperation well there.

(Perhaps they are involved in real life and that's the reason they act so weird)

Nobody asked for soft porn. They play newlyweds. On their first night together they were shown as siblings. I really don't care for "steamy" sex scenes on soaps btw. They bore me. Especially when a song is featured.
They can be sexy and playful without the 80s Days of Our Lives making love videoclips.

Brook Lynn should be the new Tracy. A cop's wife? She should be married to a politician, or a heir, having affairs and lots of drama. I would kill off Chase, or try to wake him up by having an affair with a girl-next-door type.

So did Rinna. And Alison Sweeney’s parent pulled her off the show until he was gone.  Having a relationship with an underage costar will do that. He also didn’t get along with people at AW, so how is this on her?

I only mentioned it because it was like she was 2 for 2. 

Robert has made amends to as many of his co-stars as would listen. In effect they all forgave him except for Lisa, who wasn't having any of it at all. That had nothing to do with his ex-wife Miriam who is the mother of his only child, a teen daughter who he loves & why he remains in St. Louis & flies now for a living. Also he doesn't drink any more.

He threw a chair at Sandra Ferguson on AW.  After all these years and ALL the stories.  It's a wonder people dislike RKK lol.

He was married to the actress that played Jamie for at least 15 years so perhaps he's changed.

There are a lot of things I side eye KA about, but the RKK hate is not one of them.

Grooming and dating and underage co-star is a different issue to me than alcohol or attitude problems, but Idk how RKK even got into this thread.  

I do think he was a good Bo.  Just not a good man.

Yes and Yes.

Again I feel like it's two different problems.  Addiction and being an actual creepy pervert.

      I thought the story had it’s moments, I much preferred the story once Greg was meddling, trying to keep her away from Tom Ryan. I loved them together!   And there was a story they could have developed from this. Laura stopped having a lot of scenes with the ensemble. She's the only one missing during the big finales of seasons 5&6, and I would have been cool to play on that! For one, Laura being a more cutthroat business executive just made sense to me. Also, the point I was trying to make regarding Mary Robeson was that I wish they had focused on a story from her family /background beforehand. You could play the Vin artist from many angles.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      Nielsen Ratings for this same week 39 years ago May 5-11 1986. North & South Book II mini-series pre-empted a number of ABC shows. What the heck was NBC’s Fast Copy about?

      I think the arrival of the Spauldings (Alan/Elizabeth/Phillip) caused the erosion of Sara's character on the show since Elizabeth took over Sara's place in the whole Justin/Jackie story.  Sara's brief marriage to another deceptive man sounded like it paled in comparison to the previous deceptive man story that she had played the decade beforehand.. and it was probably done because of the whole Alan/Jackie/Mike/Elizabeth cluster that took off story wise.   I know the show had introduced Brandy, the woman Justin cheated on Jackie with... but I don't believe she lasted more than a year.. and didn't make much of an impression. While the Dobson's were good at writing/juggling multiple characters/stories.. they weren't perfect though they did manage to make use of characters not in the front burner like Sara, Ann, etc. I do know that Sara/Adam looked to be starting up at the end of the Dobson era with a jealous/regretful Barbara looking on.. which played out during the Roger/Holly rape story and Hollys prison story.   I don't know if Marland was as inspired by that story when he took over

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      If you ever make it to the Paley Center in NYC (fka Museum of TV and Radio), in their viewing room, you can watch Days 1/1/73 featuring Denise Alexander as Susan. It’s her last month on the show before switching to GH.

      Overall I was impressed with this week and fall out from the revealation.  I am looking forward to seeing the Nicole/Dana showdown next week.  I do wonder if June is going to be tied to Hayley.

      I thought Adam and Sara got married? Although I do not remember any mention of her when Adam returned for Blake's weddings. But MA certainly got the short end of the stick storywise, as Marland's obsession with therapy reared it's head.

      Didn’t Meg Bennett return to SFT as a writer in the last few years. I always wondered if they tried to get her back as Liza.

      Millette Alexander got the short end of the stick once they killed off Joe. The Justin thing was a non-starter. Then she was briefly married to Alan's corrupt lawyer and HE was killed off. She was paired briefly with Adam and that ended because she believed Holly over Roger about the rape. Definitely, Marland had zero interest in her except as the therapist for the many, many of his female characters who needed therapy. It's not odd she left the show. One of the rare 1978 episodes on YT shows Alan going to Cedars for a physical check-up. He ends up with Sarah as his doctor. In between making mysoginistic comments about women doctors, he also openly flirts with her. It's very obvious they were chem testing Sarah and Alan. It's a really good scene. Bernau is both obnoxious and charming and Millette is amazing, trying to be pleasant and profesional without rolling her eyes at him, but at the same time maybe a LITTLE bit attracted to him. An interesting what-might-have-been. So it appears the Dobsons were actively looking for someone to pair her with, they just never found the right one for a long-term story.
