Past Plots Discussion: Whatever Happened To...

[CanaryFan98]

I figure actors hopefully talk beforehand what makes them comfortable vs what doesn't when it comes to that sort of thing.

This is why Hunter Tylo's claim of SN hitting on her sound ludicrous to my ear. Both of MBE and SN's spouses never had problem with the nature of their work. MBE's husband even attend the SOD award show with a pic of Steve's headshot to cover his face lol. Didn't Stephen also personally stopped portrayer of first Jack from harassing MBE with Drake? That being said, there were some other cases of well-respect soap icons were accused by fellow colleagues. Cady McClain called John McCook out for groping her. Brenda Dickson accused Bill Bell Sr. for sexual misconduct. It really depends on the person, I guess.

Been watching 1990 episodes all week.  Today I encountered Justin sounding just like Xander, telling Isabella that no matter what he's done for Victor it will never be enough, and he's walking away from him (mind you he was naming one of the twins after him 2 episodes later and hugging him). Thought it was interesting that he had the same struggles as the rest of the clan. He was also mourning Alex at this juncture as Angelica had faked his death. I watched Victor finding out he's Isabella's dad and the aftermath. Very different vibe. He's nicer to his girls.

Other thoughts:
-the writing for Jack was sublime and Matt was so good. His scenes with Stephen Nichols are amazing 
-Staci Greason as Isabella was luminous. Such a shame she quit acting. I'll always prefer her to Marlena 
-I had forgotten Julie tanked Nick Corelli's life and that's why he went bad overnight. Thanks Julie.

Yes Matt is a personality/character actor. I remeber someone posted vids of his Tom with Felicia in General Hospital, almost unrecognizable. 

Staci Greason takes her craft more seriously than Deidre Hall.  I am currently on episodes of 86, romance with John/Roman taking precedence over everything else and decline in Dee's acting ruins Marlena imo. At times, it felt like the writers tasked Drake to carry her and make things work. He wasn't like this with other onscreen love intrests.

Linsey Godfrey said recently that Paul Telfer warns her if he is going to raise his voice and shout a line so she is prepared as he is so much bigger than her and can be intimidating

I didn't know this about Cady McClain and John McCook. When did those two work together?

I don't think these two worked together before. She tweeted he grabbed her bottom in an event years ago.

It was the second Jack, James Acheson, that was removed by SN & DH after he was harassing MBE while she was pregnant with her first son.

I heard at the time that it was the first Jack, Joseph Adams, who was fired for harassing MBE. The second guy was let go because he couldn't act

[spookyseason]

Little Max looked so cute with Steve and Kayla. 

Dose anyone know what happened to Robin's portrayer? She hasn't done anything since Days and no trace of any information related to her could be found either.

Rob Estes began his career on Days, What a pleasant discovery! MR was such a lucky lady to work with him and a lot of other attractive actors. 

P.S. He also made a guest appearance on My Sister Sam of which co-starred the young and primising Rebecca Schaeffer. She died tragically at the hands of a deranged fan because according to him, appearing in a love scene destroyed the "good girl" image in his mind.

Ah yes Glen Gallagher who was Jennifer's first boyfriend. He was clearly meant for bigger things as Rob Estes had a decent TV career after that.

[CanaryFan98]

So apparently yesterday was the anniversary of Alexander's conception. Victor was in the hospital at the time. Which is why I didn't like this twist with Alex although we know it's a lie but still

[CanaryFan98]

This is an old clip of Hope/Julie back in the day. Hard to believe they used to have so much tension back then. Hope doesn't really bring up that Julie is her sister/mother as often as she did when she was young.

Too lazy to go back, but what happened to Dimitri? I must have glazed over that storyline.

If I remember correctly, Dimitri met some 'hunky" guy in prison and when he got released, he went off with his new boyfriend & wrote Leo a "Dear John" letter saying "Sorry, not Sorry" about breaking up with him

He was released from prison and dumped Leo by snail mail for a new hook up he met in jail

[DisneyBoy]

Honestly, it seemed like a way to write the character out and later claim he was kidnapped or something, if they wanted him back to worship Leo some more.

I'm not sure if producers disliked him or something though. He was a decent actor.

[DanaMB]

I wonder if he is just busy. He’s done a few Hallmark movies. I think one for another network too. I can’t remember anything recently, though. 

[peachmangosteen]

His IMDb doesn't show anything since Days. 

[CanaryFan98]

I don’t remember Isabella and Marlena having this conversation 

 

 

[brisbydog]

I do. I loved Isabella for going there 

[SouthernChick]

Isabella basically accusing Marlena of staying away from her family for 5 years on purpose was pathetic. She was so jealous of her.

[Sunrain]

Oh please, as if Marlena wasn't jealous of Isabella. John had clearly moved on and found happiness again with Diana and then Isabella after her death. There was nothing wrong with that, however I understand a zealot like yourself would have never accepted it. And Isabella had every right to question Marlena's motives regarding John. Just because someone spoke the truth, didn’t make her pathetic. Marlena wanted both Roman and John without giving a damn about anyone and anything else. She even admitted herself at that time. So who was the pathetic and selfish one here? 

P.S. Let's not forget the affair had opened a Pandora's box, led to destruction of character integrity and all other repercussions. Things were never the same afterward.

Lucas was mentioned on another thread and I last saw him in a monk's habit hiding in a monastery.  Did they just forget about him?

I hope someone tells him about Doug

[CanaryFan98]

In honor of this week’s promo. This was sweet and sad when you realize half the people there are gone now

From what I remember - I've been checking in and out - Lucas was finally declared a free man and left town after chatting with Kate. No clue where he is though.

Oh that’s nice to hear but didn’t they live in New Zealand? At least if he’s with them they will learn about Doug as well

They were in New Zealand while Will filmed his latest movie.  After he finished, he, Sonny, and Ari all returned to Phoenix, and Allie and Henry went with them.
