I just thought that. Roger was so heavily propped in 89 than he seemed to vanish completely after he was in the coma & he was revealed as micheals killer. Once badderlu started & viki had the stroke after being shot he has been gone completely. I think Roger was really there for eterna & to cause viki & Clint some friction. Once that ended he was no longer needed so much. I feel like the same thing happened w/ Joe's twin he caused viki & Clint some friction & was gone. I have to say Rauch really kept viki & Clint front & center they had as far as soaps go such a long marriage. So I don't think Roger was intended to ever break viki & Clint up & it seemed that once his purpose was served he sorta was gone. Funny thar sloan under the next regime wasn't intended to break viki & Clint up either. The affair was planned & sloan was supposed to leave as viki & Clint worked through her affair. Then Clint Ritchie had a bad accident on his ranch so according to the actor who played sloan he was surprised they asked him to sign a longer contract. That's why they had viki & Clint divorce as CR needed time to recover. Then in 94 they planned the d.i.d story so they killed sloan off 2 sec after he & viki married. They didn't want viki to have a live in husband to catch on to her. Clint being used to at least Nikki would have caught on right away but them being divorced he didnt have that kind of access to her. It took Clint quite awhile for him to finally know viki had other personalities b/c she only saw him at work & occasionally b/c of Jesse. Anyway it seemed like Clint & viki might be paired up again as Malone had intended but by the time the 1 year d.i.d story ended he was gone & from 96 to 98 their were 3 different regimes. Viki was w/o a romance for quite a while. I read an interview w/ CR in 99 when he was let go that their was an idea to repair them when they started dating & shared some intimate moments but Erika had expressed she thought viki should have a new love interest. He didn't take it personally but was surprised as that was always the idea but I'm guessing maybe Erika wanted something else. In her foundations interview she named all vikis husband's then couldn't remember if Roger & her were married b/c it was that whole eterna story where it came out they we'd but it wasn't legal. I don't blame her for forgetting cause I did. Lol
Yes, TV Guide listed that this was the weak that Sarah called Llanfair, Viki answered and Sarah screamed into the phone. Struggling, her message couldn't get across...and Max caught Gabrielle with a wad of Asa's cash.
Matt is pretty good in this episode. So good. I was hoping he was the one to catch her stealing. He really got on her caseLet's see how Gabrielle escapes this one. She just keeps piling on the deceipt😮
I wonder if it was a disappointment for fans when Alex transformed from a heroine to villainess. I also wonder how many of them were trying to figure out the endgame. "Okay, when Bo and Sarah reunite, who will Alex wind up with?"
It was definitely disappointing at first, because she was reinvented for the sake of putting Bo with Cassie. Right away, Cassie wasn't the character we used to know: She was now tightly wound, fragile, and hyper-emotional (she also over annunciated words - like Sarah's name as "SAH-RAAH" - in a way that drove me nuts!). She wasn't *fun* at all, as she'd been under both Ava Haddad and later Holly Gagnier. Paired with Bo, they had the kind of chemistry that only comes from a wet blanket + mildew. But someone in the writer's room, during the Spring/Summer when Paul Rauch was exiting as EP and Linda Gottlieb hadn't yet started, said "let's do a Fatal Attraction story!" They had their Michael Douglass in Bo, and with Laura Bonarrigo they were clearly looking to remake Cassie as Llanview's Anne Archer. Of course, Tonya Walker's Alex would be Glenn Close's Alex. I say "at first," because a few months later Tonya Walker came back with Sarah to wreck the wedding AND punch Cassie in the face for weeping & crying so damn much. (Though we may not all admit it, most of us were cheering.) And eventually, Walker got to reinvent Alex as a colorful & entertaining villainess. And it turns out that the problems with Laura's Cassie often rooted in the writing. Michael Malone did some great things, but his big weakness was not sticking to characters' established history. He was still a character-driven writer, but he often reinvented the characters to his whimsical / novelesque tastes (Tina, Cord, Sarah, Clint.. all to puzzling outcomes). And when he inherited Cassie, the previous writers had already botched her for months. Once Malone was gone, someone finally asked "didn't Cassie used to be cool?" Then they made her a reporter again, and suddenly she became the Cassie that we hadn't seen since 1990.
@@romanseanoagree on every point of yours. Malone and Gottleib seemed to not know the show when they arrived, or really cared about established characters, hence so many characters leaving permanently and all their never heard of characters as well
Omg this is why Nikki said to viki " u blew helping Sarah " in the famous episode where Nikki comes out to kill Johnny. She says to her to the effect " come on go save tina u can do it u blew it w/ Sarah's phone call & she died u gonna do the same thing & let that creep hurt ur sister too" cause viki was saying to Nikki " I can't make it up the stairs " so that's when Nikki comes out & says if u can't do it then I will" & Nikki does take over & starts yelling at " ugh I'm stuck w/ this broken body " but she did it which of course that's vikis alter part of her that comes out to do the things viki on her own can't do or traumatic things she can't handle.
Been a while since we’ve seen Roger

Thank you
This was Jensen Buchanan's last episode as Sarah. She is even taken out of the opening credits the next episode.

Who plays porter? He looks so familiar
Can I just say that individual playing Max is doing a good job as a report!

@romanseano847 Deja vu for Tonja, who already did a Fatal Attraction storyline (with bits taken right from the movie) on General Hospital.
I LOVED watching her descent... it was horrifying/brilliant. Wasn't so much of a fan when she became campy/comedic, though... she was no longer scary.

Please stop posting SPOILERS
I know Gabrielle did not just lie on a Priest. And she accused him of embezzling,
Max #2 is kind of an A hole.
