Got another question for you all!

I found some of 2008 Ireland stuff on YT. So, Colleen was Shawn's sister who was in love with Santo Dimera (Stefano's brother?) and had his son - John Black, right? But now John is looking for his parents, so what happened to this whole Ireland story??

Thanks again in advance!

I recall some random board where they used to post naked pictures of soap stars. It wasn't Soaphunks.net, it was something else. Been trying to remember the name for years. Does anyone remember the name of that board?
Expanding on this, thinking about it now I'm remembering a flamingo for some reason.

Please tell me someone else knows what the hell I'm talking about.

They just completely erased it. John found out it was a lie...you know...so Brady and Theresa could sleep together.

I don't know how I am going to deal with no Days until Monday! The show has been so good and there is such exciting stuff next week.
I forget if you made a guess before, but what are you hoping Abigail's baby will eventually be named??

Santo was Stefano's father.

The Ireland story was wiped away with one fell swoop when John returned from Europe and told Brady that he found out he was not Colleen's son and the nuns at the orphanage who had told Colleen that he was her son had lied, or something like that.

Ha! I did that about 12 years ago (for the first time). At multiple sites. It was just before my entrance to soap boards.
Why was I thinking you had been around longer than that?

I can't believe I've been doing this since 1996/1997. First the AOL boards and the Soap Opera Digest chat on AOL. (Anybody remember those?) Then Coffeerooms and SONARC followed by SON and finally DR. And I recall some random board where they used to post naked pictures of soap stars. It wasn't Soaphunks.net, it was something else. Been trying to remember the name for years. Does anyone remember the name of that board?
I don't, but I lurked around a little in 1996-1997ish. My favorite memory from the soap interwebs back then was a Bo and Hope fansite that had a tiny pixel gif of Bo that would walk across the screen and then pee on something. I think it was a very early "screw you Corday!" sentiment.
Those are the years when I started lurking pages to read spoilers/recaps, but didnt know there was actual message boards with people chatting. I wish I had known back then those were out there lol

SInce Kenny mentioned old boards earlier, I wanted to ask if anyone around here ever visited or posted at the Turtle Run boards in the very late 90s early 2000s. That was my soap board I ever visited in 1999, and it's crazy to think I've been reading the posts of some people like Kenny through various boards for nearly 15 years.

BTW, 2015 is our best year ever at DR (based on post counts).
Congrats!

Turtle Run! That's the name of the board I was thinking of!

Why I thought it had something to do with a flamingo I'll never know.

Can someone tell me about how Nathan Horton/Anderson/Jannings (???) came about? He is supposed to be Pete and Melissa's kid, right? But didn't Pete leave town way before Melissa and hadn't they been divorced for years? Was Natahn some major retcon?
I don't think it was ever confirmed that Pete was his father. When Lisa Trusel would make her brief visits in the 1990's, she happened to be pregnant during several of her visits, so Melissa was said to be pregnant. But the man she was with was never mentioned, if I recall correctly.

I knew there were boards, but I thought you'd have to be crazy to get online and talk about TV. Turns out I was right.

They made Colleen a liar all so Brady and Theresa could date. Nice way to treat a late Brady relative, and Shirley Jones no less!!

I actually found my first bb around 1991-92. On Prodigy. Can't remember exactly the date but it was after Hope died in Ernesto's magician trick, and Carly had just come to Salem. Went in like a pollyanna so excited to talk with other DAYS fans, then learned on my first day, on dial-up, how bbs can be, let's say a little difficult. Some things don't change. LOL :drunk: :drunk: :drunk:

But I must have been a masochist even then cause I continued with the BBs until Peter left and rkk came in. Then I quit until Peter returned.

I still come and go based on if I am watching or not. Normally with Peter leaving I would quit but with Bo being given a beautiful goodbye I may stay around and watch. Like the actor coming in as Phillip. Want to see Hope exact revenge. Can't believe I have been on line for almost 25 years.

A random question; which did you hate more, the Langan era or the Tomsell era. For me it is Tomsell hands down. I remember the anger at Langan back in the early 2000s and jubilation when he was fired, but 2014 is hands down the worse year ever for me.

They scrapped a whole story just for Brady and Theresa, huh? Nice job, writers.

Meanwhile, I kinda like crazy, stoic, commando John.

Does anyone know why things didn't work out with Shannon Tweed? She is the reason I started watching Days, after reading her interview in Soap Opera Digest in Spring '86. She seemed so glamorous and bad-ass.
Her romance with JT was red-hot. She went on location to film in Miami. But then it just ended.
Then she set her sights on Neil but that petered out too. I think she would have made an amazing scheming manipulative Mrs. Neil Curtis.
I just watched the scenes after Todd's death and she really showed acting chops.
Missed opportunities

TomSell. I don't actually hate Langan all that much. Definitely not my favorite, but I didn't hate him like others did.

They've since been fired though.

When's the next time we'll ever have an Academy Award-winning actor on the show if you end up making them a big liar?? :)
