The way things worked out that probably would have been for the best. The show dismantled their whole little group, which was one of the best things about the relationship, but kept them. I guess they didn't want the backlash of firing them immediately so just waited for Michael and Lisa to want to leave due to poor use. You're right that many did hang on, which is part of the peril of an hour long soap. With a few exceptions, like Lillian, you just see the character slowly die.

Me too. She certainly deserves one. Hopefully they'll get in touch.

Anna really does look like Emma. The scene with Felicia and Mariah is sweet too. And all the spy intrigue with Sean, Robert and Holly. The only drag was the stuff with Jimmy Lee and Celia as he doesn't do much for me as a character. Celia has a unique presence - I liked her cool reaction to Lorena when Lorena walked out.

I know the Quola fans seemed to consider the stories with the kid their worst, which I can't argue with based on the clips. They should have had him in the whole cottage story - maybe had Susan Piper as some roguish woman from his past and she threatens him and his family if he reveals their secrets. They could have had him injured in the same explosion that killed Hillary.

A few other pilots. This is some prison guard sleazy comedy with Scott Evans (I wonder if he filmed this after he was fired from OLTL), among others. There is no nudity but there's enough sexual content early on (with Evans) for me to say it's NSFW. Inside Out - Unaired 2010 Cable Pilot An interesting pilot showing various international journalists and their thoughts on America. I am not sure who thought this would be picked up, but it's worth a watch. Overseas Opinions (1967) Unsold Pilot starring Gene Rayburn - YouTube

They made him a professor, and he was also a scientist for a while, I think. Given that they were still doing adventure stories on GL during his run they should have just had him in those.

I've always thought fan videos are one of the most underrated parts of supporting a character or relationship, especially before they became so heavily used in a tiktok era. That period with Monica's funeral was great for Tracy. The material earlier in the same year where Tracy learned Gio was her great-grandson was another favorite of mine. Jane can play anything and I'm glad they have finally been letting her.

Hello. I'm not sure how many are around from them but it's always nice to see other Tracy fans.

It's a shame that Lucy was walled off and the writing was slipping enough to where I'm not sure she got to have much of a reaction to Carly/Tony.

Thanks. That sounds right.

Thanks for sharing your memories of the show. There's an interview with Erika Slezak where she says Ernest Graves would have been rolling over in his grave if he'd seen what they did with Victor.

I liked Teresa a lot on AMC, and she had played Gloria as a bad girl and later as a nut so I can see why she almost got the part. I do think she would have been a very bad fit for the whole cop story. SIgny was good at those harder elements, and may have been fine with the softer elements too if given a chance, but it was Cynthia Watros who made Annie such a spark for fans and critics, not the character. They should have waited much longer, or never brought her back. I think I preferred Sonia Satra (for my criticisms) over either of them - Hershey in particular annoyed me when they tried to make her the saint of PC. I'm not sure who I would have chosen as a recast. Maybe Marie Wilson as Harley or Lucy. She was being written out of ATWT around then wasn't she?

Thanks!
