It bears repeating, Drake always told the best stories.

A kind and gentle person, we’d always have a laugh when we were working together, often laughing until my sides hurt.

I remember, back in the 80s, there was a flirtation between “Roman” and Adrienne when we worked together at the construction company, and Drake had to dance around “constructing” in a sweaty tank top to the song “Macho Man”… in Salem… in the winter. He was hilarious and approached it with gusto and happy enthusiasm, as he did everything.

He was a man who took his work seriously, but never himself. He was always game for anything and such a joy to be around. He made the world around him a funnier, better, sweeter place… the light will never be as bright again…

And he was a Yankee! I was a fan from the minute I met him

Beautiful Judi. He was an original-no one like him. You’re so right, he took his work seriously, but never himself. Something I will try to carry forward.

“He took his work seriously, but never himself.” So true. Game for anything. Always found the fun in everything. The joy. 🩷

This shows the irripressable joy that our dear friend brought to his work every, single day. No doubt he spent a long time perfecting the hammer routine. Thank you for this, Judi

I think Adrienne and possibly Justin owned a construction company.  I have no idea why RoJohn would be helping out with all this, but I think 1987 is probably a good place to start by year at the very least.  This is post-marriage and it seems post-Justin/Adrienne moving out and before Victor was shot and before Emilio I believe so it narrows down the time frame a bit.  Late 1987 is where I would place it.

At some angles the home looks a bit like RoJohn/Roman/Marlena's house that was destroyed by Orpheus's bomb, but when John called Adrienne "boss" I assumed it wasn't the same set.

I happen to have the 1988-1990 scene logs typed out for every episode. I just searched scenes listing (Adrienne, Roman) or (Roman, Adrienne) and got a hit on this one, so this looks to be it: 12/21/89

12/21/89 Scene-By-Scene:
Construction Trailer & Ext. (Adrienne, Hank, Roman)
Kiriakis LR & Foyer (Anjelica, Jack, Victor, Maid Rhonda)

Yeah.  When I looked at the 12/21 episode John/Adrienne were talking about some keys John had stolen for, Idk, spy reasons?  It did look like they were vaguely testing RoJohn/Adrienne though because John was involved? with Whitney Baker the psychiatrist that looked like Marlena and Isabella was teased with Jack.

I was close though! Sorry, I missed that in my quick search of the records. I guess I saw a scene with just Roman and Adrienne alone and figured that was it.

    • Randall Edwards (and Brian Tarantina), with the opening night cast of 1985's Biloxi Blues, plus director Gene Saks and playwright Neil Simon.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)
