I thought he was so good on AMC. For one thing they made Chris a bad boy, which didn't suit actor or character. And something just didn't click. I remember after Ben was let go, he said that Kathryn Hays or Don Hastings had suggested he get speech lessons. That whole teen scene was a bust.

Didn't they also claim Rena Sofer and Heather Locklear were the same age?

I had forgotten he was actually in a movie with Mark Wahlberg (The Big Hit). What a sliding doors moment.

I believe so, yes. That's probably it. I will say he could believably smolder, even if I never really was into him. He had a look very suited to that period. And if Mark Wahlberg could be made into a superstar after horrific acts just because he dropped his pants, Sabato could have too. Wahlberg apparently just made better career choices.

Thanks. I meant more in terms of the show eventually making those episodes available. You already do so much for fans, I wasn't expecting any more of your work.

They have. EastEnders had Dot Cotton watching Coronation Street, yet there was later a crossover between Corrie and EE, for charity. I think it's a certain ruthless mentality that these soaps are of the past and they can't make any money from them and anything but moving on from them entirely is the only way they can move forward. Even when the DVDs were supposedly selling decently in the early '10s, that plug was pulled. It is just so cold to me.

Thanks @JAS0N47 I'd love to see the Brooke story in full someday. Here's the 1984 SOD Awards. Mostly GH actors but a few DAYS people.

This has a few DAYS actors but is mostly the GH cast.

I don't think Ric and Liz should ever be a proper couple. With that said, I also don't want to see him go crazy as a foil for her and Dante.

I can understand why they did those crossovers, for ratings purposes, but I do wish they'd acknowledge the P&G soaps. I know that sounds a bit arrogant, and maybe unfair, given how those shows weren't exactly interested in black representation (ATWT and AW coming the closest), but I hope they can someday. Unfortunately, something tells me even if those at BtG wanted to do them P&G and CBS would put the kibosh on.

Me too. I just never have gotten a good feeling from the people involved in this show. I don't understand how you can be so blase about Donna Mills, of anyone.

There always seems to be this hell of P&G not wanting to do anything with their material and not wanting anyone else to do anything with it either, so it just rots. I still wonder if they ever did anything with those episodes they took clips from for the late '60s and early '70s (the final B&W episode, the episode where Lee Gantry dies).

I think he was let go. Daniel Cosgrove was alright but I probably liked Korver the most too. He had good chemistry with older women, which should have kept going to give Bob and Kim headaches. The issue was the awful and weird Abigail/Chris pairing which just made him seem too old.

I think that whole story where the characters laughed at Jax being sexually assaulted was a window into how TPTB felt about Jax.

A video detailing how each missing episode was recovered (this video is from five years ago). Some of those earlier recoveries, especially the '80s recoveries and then everything surrounding the lost Crusade episode in 1999, are very interesting.

I would have said someone who finished the original show would have been even less likely to approve a revival.

You're right - I misheard.

That's a very nice statement from Susan Lucci, without making it about herself the way some actors do.

These are such sweet photos. This would have had a much sourer vibe with Sean Penn (if he would have even taken any photos). The Academy on X: "Best winner portraits ever? Congrats to our acting winners Jessie Buckley, Amy Madigan, and Michael B. Jordan! #Oscars https://t.co/0WRsb0VPy3" / X

I forgot about her. That's a good pick.

That's why I would have killed her off in 2024 if that's where the story was going, although I'm glad Maura still has a gig.

Many of their articles or comments ended up just being rage bait to me, intended or not. I swear I remember some there actually calling Judith Light ungrateful for not returning to OLTL for Cartini slop.

On a recent Locher Room episode, Ellery Capshaw (Natalie Snyder, ATWT) said she auditioned for Faith, but they said she was too young.
