- Yes. Hope has finally found her backbone and she will persevere together with her aunt Katie. She will free herself from the codependency to her toxic mother.

- No. Everyone and everything always goes back to Brooke. She's like the Antichrist of Bold. Hope will be sucked back into the vile Forrester environment where women are treated like second best and called bitches.

Oh man I really loved those scenes when Erica returned to Mona's home and took a bath. We had not seen that set in so long and it was a treat. If I recall correctly, Erica had a key to Mona's house so it was implied or maybe stated that Erica kept the house after Mona died.

Curse of Dracula was one instalment of the series Cliffhangers .The segments were pieced together for the movie which only aired in syndication I think. Michael Nouri had another attempt at primetime with Gangster Chronicles and then Bay City Blues-all flops.

Going back to Trevor and Janet eventually getting together and marrying, if I were Tim Dillon, I would have divorced my father. How do you marry the woman who terrorized my mother? Tim should have needed years of therapy after what Trevor put him through by bringing Janet back into his life.

Here's the thing about Janet. She should never have been full-time, long-term character. If you keep someone like her on the canvas indefinitely, eventually the antics start to feel repetitive, and the writers almost have to redeem her just to justify her staying around.
Janet worked best as a recurring chaos agent. She should have been brought in every so often to wreak havoc—much like Billy Clyde did back in the day—and then sent away once she'd stirred the pot.
That's why Janet was so successful the first time around. She came in, made Natalie's life miserable, threw her down a well, gave the audience a deliciously over-the-top story, and then was sent to prison. It was a complete arc that was satisfying.
When she returned as Jane Cox, the same approach would have worked. Let her stir up trouble for Trevor, Amanda, and the rest of Pine Valley, have her create a little mayhem, and then send her packing again. Used in small doses, Janet was fantastic. Kept around indefinitely, the character inevitably lost some of what made her so effective.

In regards to her line about her stories being written in 1991 while Agnes was in charge, I'm inclined to believe that.. but I also think that Agnes and co took her ideas during that period and made them work. The Natalie down in the well story wasn't out of left field on AMC because the show had employed a gothic story to introduce a new mansion and family in the late 70s and 80s.
Becca/Scott didn't work.. and I think it was more because of the actor playing Scott then the character of Becca. Abigail Spencer did manage to give Becca some backbone.. and Becca vs Greenlee were pretty evenly matched when the two would have a verbal encounter.
In regards to Janet, I think Megan was right that there wasn't any male character currently on the canvas that would fit as a love interest for Janet. Did she start the Janet/Pierce/Laura cabin dynamic.. or was that the interim writer that did that dynamic?
Erica of the mid 2000s and on was a pale version of the Erica Kane we saw in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. She still could have been front burner.. but more in a career mode and free of that waste of a character Jack.

Gosh, I actually didn't mind Becca and Scott as individual characters. But the casting—especially with Scott—was all over the place, and I think it took away from the story. 😬
Did Shane McDermott's Scott ever actually cross paths with Becca, or was it only Forbes March?
I really liked Shane McDermott as Scott. Then they seemed to take the character in a completely different direction, I guess to give him more sex appeal, but I just never bought Forbes March in the role.
A triangle with Rebecca Budig's Greenlee, Forbes March's Scott, and Abigail Spencer's Becca? I'm not sold. Abigail Spencer was fine. So was Rebecca Budig. But Forbes March as Scott? That casting never worked for me, so it was hard to invest in the Greenlee/Scott/Becca triangle.

You hit the nail on the head. There's desperation in her tone. She was fighting to keep her job at this point.

Straight men are easy to read and understand.. plus easier to work with because of that very fact. And I say this as a gay man
I think EON & DS were popular with men and teen viewers because of the timeslots for both shows being later in the day. My grandfather used to turn on EON when he was coming home from work while my mom would watch DS after school and before she had to do her homework.
Victor Newman is to straight men what Erica Kane was to gay men and to some of the female audience. A character that said and did the very things they secretly wish they say or do. It's not that difficult to understand.
In regards to OLTL, I think another reason why Cathy was pretty much phased out by the end of the decade was a combination of different things.
1) Last actress hired wasn't exactly the best person to play the role despite the fcat that she snagged a daytime emmy nomination. Her take on Cathy weakened the character and made her less of a rival to Vicki.
2) Killing off baby Megan. Sure it gave the character of Cathy some meaty scenes and story for awhile... but keeping the baby alive would have ensured Cathy/Vicki would have remained in one another's orbit for much longer especially once Kevin/Joey were born.
Also, I did come across scenes of JC playing her dual role of Pat and Maggie.. and the way JC played Maggie was the same way that Eileen Davidson played Susan Banks. I give JC props for giving it her all.. but very few people can play a dual role successfully. Not everyone is an Anne Heche or David Canary.
