The Politics Thread
Clinton did cave a fair amount in his first term. Or not so much cave as partially cave and partially go along with issues he supported but the base didn't (like NAFTA, which helped to kill the labor force in the US). He caved on all gay rights issues. The one he didn't cave on - gun control - was what cost him the most. Only when his back was against the wall did he start to fight back. He was better at it than Obama, but he also had a better foil, as Newt Gingrich was and is a bad supervillain caricature. Meanwhile, Romney has now teamed up with Pat Robertson for full culture wars. Remember when everyone told us Romney would go to the middle after he won the primary? http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/09/mitt-romney-culture-war.php?ref=fpnewsfeed

I keep forgetting there was another Linc. I always associate Peter White Linc with Boys in the Band. He was great in that movie. Kate #1 looks like Ethel Remey, Alma Miller on ATWT.

Thanks. Never seen these before. What a hideous suit to put Phil, the young male lead, in. That drinking photo of Amy and Ruth's husband (Ted?) is interesting, as I thought the story was the characters never liked each other. I never knew they took that very stylish photo of the first Kate, since she didn't last long. Or was that the actress' own headshot?

I hadn't seen that before, thanks. This is a good example of what Victor and Nikki used to be, when Bill Bell wrote for them. This also has an incredible scene with Olivia and Mamie praying. I sometimes forget that Olivia was one of my favorite characters at this time. By the late 90s they had made her very cold and hard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivG4EtldgZE&feature=autoplay&list=ULNBsofLOaWQk&playnext=5

There was some story in summer 1985 after Shannon came to Oakdale. She'd taken a jewel or something and people were being murdered. I think Kim was involved in a hostage situation.

These are great! I'd never seen most of these. The Eileen Fulton perfume ad is a stunner. The Dan/Susan is great. I had never known about that fancy dress photo of Kim. Was that during the jewel robbery story?

Thanks. Too bad they killed Naomi off so soon. Was that the first Julie in the photo? I love the photo of Agnes with OLTL's 4 early leading ladies. I hadn't seen that.

That's a very clever ad. Where all did it air at 12:30?

Thanks. It didn't look like Suzanne from the side. I know people said he wrote the Willows story for Lisa.

Those photos are such a tease. Is that Lisa Denton Betsy?

Was that on one of the DVDs? I can't remember. That Tom looks like Lee Godart.

Ruth Warrick was such an expressive actress. You can see the old school in her. Every picture tells a story. I just love staring at Charles Frank. In the few clips I've seen of him his voice is a little annoying but the man was a stunner.
