Sadly, EON has lost a lot of its stars in the last 28 years. But the show could still come back and do justice to the original. I would love to see this happen, but it's a nice trip down memory lane even if it doesn't...PraiseGodHeCanMoveMountainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571746144822907096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-54917091391471169962012-12-29T11:14:22.647-05:002012-12-29T11:14:22.647-05:00James, I like this.

I'd also like Calvin's son in the mix -- Calvin could have been killed in the line of duty (since the actor who played Calvin is deceased) when his son was younger and the kid has issues. That would help make him a complex and interesting character. Overall, not bad, not bad at all. Some of the original cast are still with us, like Raven, Sky, Nancy, Mike. Good job, James.PraiseGodHeCanMoveMountainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571746144822907096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-62343895234076435992012-12-28T23:56:25.417-05:002012-12-28T23:56:25.417-05:00Hotshot young attorney Adam Drake Jr is summoned t...Hotshot young attorney Adam Drake Jr is summoned to Monticello by Sky Whitney to defend longtime family friend Nancy Karr against murder charges. However, Sky gets more than he bargained for when Adam Jr. falls for Sky's 20-year-old firebrand daughter, Gerri (short for Geraldine). <br /><br />Meanwhile Jodi Travis is busy at the forensics lab trying to prove Nancy's innocence while also being a loving mother to her son Gavin, Jr. who also has a thing for the Whitney debutant. <br /><br />Raven Whitney meanwhile appears to be covering up something. Does she have evidence that would clear Nancy? Or would it prove her guilt? <br /><br />Raven's gay son Jamey pauses his party boy ways long enough to check into her activities. That irks his boyfriend Tony Saxon Jr., who secretly has ties to the mob. Meanwhile, young Miles Cavanaugh, Jr., who tries to hide his crush on Jamey, is also selling Oxycodine on the side to pay his way through med school.<br /><br />Who would have thought that one of Miles Jr.'s regular pill customers holds the key to proving Nancy's innocence? Problem is, his customer, Chablis Henderson, was high on pills and thinks the scenes she witnessed were a dream. Can Miles Jr figure out about her incoherent ramblings in time to save Nancy?

I was really hoping the Dark Shadows movie would have been a more critical (and box office in the U.S.) success. It's different and capitalizes on the vampire angle but it might have given a few people another reason to look at other classic daytime soaps.

It was a great show -- and it could be updated so easily. It's the kind of show JFP (but only if she promises not to goof it up) should be doing -- not Y&R (which can never be as edgy as JFP wants to be). Unlike GH, she can even do mobsters -- EON was famous for mobsters in daytime before anyone else even gave it a go!PraiseGodHeCanMoveMountainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571746144822907096noreply@blogger.com
