Ok, I had totally forgot about the Carly Manning storyline. Huh. I totally missed the possessed Marlena story as I wasn't watching at all during those years. Old time die hard fans tell me it was a tough time in Days history.

I think that's when I stopped even following at a distance.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I watched DOOL from the very beginning (I was in the womb) religiously. Marlena's possession drove me away. It was a very sad day.

I'm still torn between American Gladiator and Pussycat Doll.
Don't you wish your pilot was hot like me . . .

I stopped watching probably around the time Carly was buried alive. Too creepy.
Someone's brought up the Cruise of Deception by now, right?

Kristen, I vote Pussycat Gladiator.
...I do get a vote, right?
That was under the same head writer who did the possessed-by-the-devil story. And created Passions. He is my hero.
Oooh, is this James Reilley? 'Cause that's my friend's name, and it's also the name of the person behind Passions, (which we used to get in Cairo) iirc. And also Sunset Beach, (which we used to get on Channel 5 in the UK).
Our UK soaps just aren't made of crack the way you folks make them. Your soaps leave me just reeling at the crazy. They are weirdly compelling.
(I had no idea that Passions was a real show for ages, incidentally. Just that it was something Spike and Joyce had bonded over. Imagine my glee upon discovering it was real!)
Oh! I have nothing substantial to add to Days of Our Lives talk, other than the fact that the last time I was in Luxor, with 2 American friends and one Brit, we apparently saw the guy who plays Tony DeMeara? Or something along those lines? There was something about an evil twin...anyway, yes, he was in our hotel and also visited The Valley of the Kings on the same morning as we did. His skin was a disconcerting shade of orange that initially screamed 'gay gay gay', but which may, upon reflection, have been a side-effect of being a soap star.

Missed Cruise of Deception. Loved the Carly buried alive stuff, but was sad to see her go because I liked her.
Soaps were big for me in HS (Days and Another World), late 60s early 70s, then I didn't watch except for snow days or holidays until the mid 90s when I had the children and started working more from home. My niece came to live with me to help with the boys and she got me into GH. Since then it is hit or miss depending on whether I am working at home or at the office. When the brain is fried at the end of the day and SciFi has something stupid on it is SoapNet before syndicated sitcoms. YbraindeadTVMV.

Sounds like our governor.
I saw that Passions was on some channel on my DirectTv the other day, but I don't know if it was new or old.

I remember reading a thing once that compared America, British and Australian soaps. It kind of went like -
American - Billy's wife's evil twin's amnesiac son has an affair!
British - Billy's wife gets cancer and a divorce down the pub.
Australian - Billy's got a new haircut!
