The only grandchild Marlena had a significant relationship with was Will, but it was kind of nice to remember, "Oh, right. She's Johnny's grandmother. I haven't seen them in a scene together since the Devil storyline."

I have generally liked Rafe since they allowed him to be bitter over Nicole and Eric. Him throwing out her pie at Thanksgiving was hilarious, and it was a character turning point for me. I also liked the Jada and Rafe romance because it felt like two mature people falling in love but in a mature way You have this feeling because Days of Our Lives has NEVER allowed a teenage girl to give up a baby, and the parents raise that baby, the teenage girl never reclaims the baby. and nobody ends up dead. I've asked and the closest people could get to that would be Julie giving up her son as a teenager, but it doesn't count (IMO) because Julie eventually wound up marrying the father and raising her son anyway after her son's mother died.

It's her full name. Like how EJ calls Sammi Samantha.

Please snap up Matthew Atkinson. He's a good actor and Chad has been so undefined as a character beyond his love for Abigail that anything could work.

It's a shame we can't travel back in time because I just realized Pamela Anderson would have made an amazing Cherie in a production of Bus Stop.

I remember feeling bad for both him and Jessalyn Gilsig because if I remember the tea right they both got pushed out of the show by the powers that be. Jessalyn Gilsig wound up getting picked up by Ryan Murphy soon after so her career kept going but I think that was pretty much it for Nicky Katt. R.I.P. dude. It's crazy how disposable Hollywood treats people.

I agree. I didn't think they were setting themselves up for anything. It very much felt like a "revisit" of a past relationship you still have fond feelings for, but you're not actually in love with. Hell, Rafe even pointed out that Sami was only asking him to go to Italy because she knew he'd say no. I did really like Phillip and Xander's confrontation. They were fun as the Brothers Corporation for a bit.

It's already been a tv series, lol. Although that one didn't incorporate the events of the movie. I did always see Miss Match as the spiritual sequel to Clueless.

I liked that they gave this movie a genuine heart with those two. It was pretty touching when we see Nasha grieve each Mickey that dies because it drives at the ethical implications of cloning.

It could have been Will because he's the least SORASed legacy character but they had him played by a bunch of different kids. Lauren Boles should have been it, but I'm of the opinion that the Powers that Be were freaked out when they saw how much JJ's Teen Scene failed, and decided they would try to "recreate" Last Chance Dance Blast, so they abruptly SORASed Ciara with the girl who had Jo from the Facts of Life accent. In all seriousness, though, I did feel bad for the actress. Her leaked audition had Ciara trying to flirt with a guy (probably Chase) for money to buy a new dress. She was playing the character as kind of a Teen Erica Kane coquette, and that is NOT what they wrote for Ciara when Jo was playing her. I've actually really liked them together. I don't think this Gabi has all that much chemistry with Brandon's Stefan. Which is kind of frustrating because the plan is clearly to break her and JJ up to reintroduce Stefan.

I think the closest we're ever going to get to watching a child grow up in real time is Christie Clark, who played Carrie on and off since she was 12. I can almost count Alison Sweeney as I believe she started at 15.

Kate Mansi looked Latina with very WASP parents so it's a shrug for me.

Jack used to be written as a campy character so he was fun to watch but that's been not the case since the Suddenly Southern Eve plot.

Was this the same era where Jack and Jennifer were broken up and he told Princess Greta that he was gay to let her down gently but it gets wacky? (In all honesty Gay Teenaged Me Who Looked for The Gay in Everything thought this was a wink and nod to Matthew Ashford being gay in real life. I was surprised later on when I read that Matthew Ashford has been married to various women and has a bunch of kids. A daughter is gay, though.) The late 90's/early 00's really was such a fun era, and it's my go-to for how I will always look at the show (the 1997-2003 era) that I have the soft spot for.

I find Jake Weary imminently watchable. I'm in.
