I have a hard time imagining JPL with CJ.  Their acting styles are so different.  I actually think LG and JPL have more chemistry together and could see Phillip/Sarah.  I know, I know.  That's an awful idea lol.

It's a very easy concept to recreate with 3 new couples.  It's seriously the most boring of the 3 specials, but generic enough to use a similar plot.   I think you could use inspiration to tie it in with JJ/Gabi, Belle/EJ, and Shawn/Jada, but then it would have absolutely nothing to do with Stephanie so it would be odd she wrote it lol.  

Kayla and Shane weren't in One Stormy Night.  Marcus was.

This video contains the opening credits for the movie.

Here's how I remember the chain of events — let me know if I'm missing anything:

  1. Rafe used the tunnels to sneak into the house and plant the surveillance device.
  2. EJ figured out Belle was wearing a wire. Presumably, off-camera, this must have tipped him off to search for other bugs. He found the camera and yanked out the SIM card.
  3. EJ was shot shortly after.
  4. Meanwhile, Rafe reused the tunnels to retrieve the camera — but, like a total dummy, he didn't bother connecting it to his laptop for two days. When he finally did, he realized the SIM card was missing.
  5. Later, EJ came back home and checked the SIM card (which would only show footage from before he found it — which was before he was shot).

Thus, much like Rafe himself, the camera is useless because it would not have recorded the actual event.

If the show was interested in tying in one of the three prime time specials in the 90s, the smarter choice probably would have been Night Sins from 1993.

Night Sins was the ushering in of Titan Publishing, the first mentions of Kate Roberts coming in to run it, plus it had involved Jack retyping a manuscript he had found in the new house he and Jen moved into... which ended up being a thinly veiled story written by Kate about her dalliance with Bill Horton that produced Lucas.

However, I doubt the writers were even thinking about the prime time episodes when deciding to name the manuscript One Stormy Night.  I also don't see Stephanie being the one that would be writing it.  The current actress playing Stephanie seems to play a more passive version of Stephanie vs the previous takes by Shayna and Shelley..imho.

Javi is cute... much too good for Leo.  He can do so much better.

Why would you even tie into Night Sins if you are just re-hashing B stories?  John/Marlena on the conference table with Sami seeing it and Carrie getting acid thrown in her face are the two main plots.

You would be better off just throwing a Titan Anniversary party instead. 

I am skeptical they are even tying One Stormy Night from 1992 into this plot at all, but it's a much easier plotline to rehash and you could use several couples to make it work.

Now that you mention the Jack/Kate/Bill story that might be one of the few "book" stories that worked though.

Sure, a lot of the storylines of that era are felt on the show today, but the movie was almost entirely about Roman/Marlena/John plus Sami/Carrie/Austin and a side plot of Carly/Bo/Billie/Lawrence with the background of Titan's opening.   It's...not about Jack and the memoir.

So, yes, you could go back and use some of the small parts of the movie, but you couldn't or shouldn't do a direct homage of it like you could with One Stormy Night.  It's two different things IMO.

Leo is insufferable. Why is he still on this show? 

Javi can leave too. He adds nothing to the show.

So now Shawn is going to commit a crime?

      I think Grant had just returned, although I'm not sure. I can't remember the exact quote, but I think Kassie said Blake took her storyline, her romantic pairing, and her job (at Spaulding). I can't remember when this was - maybe her leaving interview in SOD or SPW.

      I meant to mention Kat on my list. I think the actress is killing it, and I love the way Kat dresses. I can't understand having a problem with her wardrobe, which completely fits the character.

      I wonder who Andre was thinking about when he was lying in his bed. Kat gives me feels of Y&R early Christel Khalil Lily, and her being a virgin is a throwback to the 1980s prized virgin heroine ie. Y&R Cricket, B&B Caroline, As the World Turns Lily.

      This "3 Love Stories" episode was like taking a sleeping pill with a bottle of Nyquil. Josh Griffith is writing for 80-year olds with blue hair.

      I guess in terms of Phillip's woman du jour coming in third behind Beth and Spaulding, that's true. But she sure wasn't either MKA or even Liz Dennehy. Was Bolger still in the role at the beginning of Phillip/Chelsea?

      -- The coming out stuff was well-written and acted, but can't we at least hear someone tell Chelsea she needs to find a girl (or boy) who isn't frickin MARRIED? How is that not a huge fail on her part? She was willing to wreck a marriage to get herself a new boo. -- Dani can't have it both ways -- wanting Andre when she wants him but not wanting a relationship. He needs to leave her dry. -- The Dani/Pamela kiss was a plot device, but I get why they did it. I still think Cady McClain is overacting like crazy. -- Sean Freeman is good as Andre, but geez, his expertise on how relationships work is hard to listen to. He is not that guy. -- Ashley continues to be horribly written and badly played. I've grown to really dislike the character to the point of supporting Derek. -- The closing montage with Ashley and Derek looking at their phones was cool out of context. In context? We just saw Naomi lecture Derek about what to say to Ashley and how to move forward. So why in the hell did he go back to the fire station? Why not go back home? Made no sense. -- The writers are not giving Hayley enough. She's islanded. -- The Leslie/Eva scenes are still great. We get to see this complete mind control that Leslie has over Eva. We know that everything Leslie says is selfish and incriminating and awful, yet it's easy to understand why Eva falls for it.

      I can't remember who or how many people here have said it, but thanks to this site, I can't not think of the Nurse's Ball as akin to a school talent show.

      It’s a 2025 spin and meshing of both. I love that it also makes her stand out in comparison to all the other women. Like she and Chelsea could not have more differing styles. I applaud the costume designer.

      Am I the only one that fast forwards the Nurse’s Ball performances? I watched one year and it was the most cringe thing I’d ever sat through. In general I hating singing and performances on soaps, especially bad ones.
