@Maxim Thanks as always for the works here.
Glad they have found a better balance for Alex (never easy). She has some of her best material with Asa.
I hadn't thought about it but you are right that Viki does get away here with what few could so unscathed. I guess she has suffered enough in life. And we are seeing the toll the whole mess took on her family in the long run.
I keep forgetting Billy had a boyfriend who appeared for more than just one episode. This of course was the era on soaps when even adult men were not allowed to do more than hug, so Billy having a boyfriend was something of a risky choice on the show's part.
I do have to laugh at the Banner writing a "queen of smut" editorial on Dorian. I'm sure Llanview was very scandalized...
Anna Holbrook was one of the most intelligent actresses on soaps. She did excellent work as Sharlene but seeing her here in such a tricky role makes me sorry that she didn't get to play Lindsey for a longer period of time.
I love how she faces down Kevin and makes him step back from his judgments of her (even if they were right), the force against that Buchanan machismo.
If she had stayed I wonder if they may have had a fling...
The writing for her here reminds me a lot of the complicated professional women in Harding Lemay's Another World who were often waiting for a co-worker in a troubled marriage to slip up.
@vetsoapfan You may enjoy this clip too for that reason.
