Yeah, that was one of those maybe too cruel deaths Megan liked to do. I already was mixed about bringing back Kate's Janet and her character having regressed because, as a teenager, I was firmly invested in Janet's rehabilitation (I'm not sure I'd be so onboard with it as an adult watching for the first time now, but...)
For those keeping track, sometime today PutoTV started properly numbering their AMC episodes again and we got four new ones today, which brings us up to ep 6634. A few random comments--I forgot how much I liked Taylor's mom who is kinda a stereotypical black upper class matriarch/snob but actually is written with... some nuance? (Like she clearly does love her daughter.) I also am kinda liking Taylor number 2 who I remember at the time I never got on board with. I completely forgot about Matteo's interactions with Laura (he found her and brought her to the hospital when she collapsed from appendicitis) although I don't think they ever took the potential pairing seriously except to make Hayley jealous. It also shows how AMC at the time was pretty good at mixing up stories and characters--something soaps have had trouble with for a long time--I mean we just got a random but amusing scene of Bobby stoping to pick up a hitchhiking Janet... Erica's back issues are still played mostly for comedy at this point, but I have to admit after my recurring issues with sciatica I relate oh too well to crawling in pain to your bed and just wanting to take anything that would help with it (Dr Kinder sure is quick to make house calls in secret.) Also, Kevin Sheffield is introduced in this episode but is played by his first actor, who doesn't make much of an impression--not sure how long he lasts but I didn't even remember that the role was recast until I was researching stuff for the MA paper on his storyline I made...
