Liberal media in action. Hillary Rosen says Ann Romney hasn't worked. Outrage! Furor! Ted Nugent makes what amount to death threats on Obama. Shrug.

Julia was on the show when it was in transition. I preferred her to Brenda, who seemed to have little to offer beyond VM's charisma at the time.

I don't remember him being touted for anything - this at least explains why she seemed to vanish in spite of being hyped during and after PC. I always thought it was because her voice was so horribly annoying. Elisabeth is not a good person for serious interviews (and why is she dressed like Barbra Streisand in Owl and the Pussycat).

Actors who auditioned to play Y&R's Ralph (Mac's abusive stepfather) in 2002. Robert Kelker-Kelly, Kurt McKinney, Michael Watson, Roscoe Born, Daniel Quinn, Christopher Atkins.

Thanks for the photos! I love the Dru/Mamie scene in this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I553yoIDQVI

WLS has been putting up some GH articles from around 1981. They're a great read. http://www.welovesoaps.net/search/label/Flashback?&max-results=9

I wanted to say how much I loved the interview you did with her. I just read it today and she had so many wonderful stories, and you did a good job talking through the various parts of her life and career. I hope that her episodes of Edge that she kept might be able to come out at some point, as a reminder of her talent. She was the woman writing a book about John, right, in the ATWT episode?

That's awful. I just assumed she'd taken drugs and fallen asleep/drowned. Not that that's any better, but this sounds soul-crushing.

I'm not sure if recasting would have made a difference. The character had no real ties to Port Charles once her boring sister Laura left. Tiffany first showed up during the Ice Princess story - she was in the jungle with Robert, Luke, Laura, etc. She was an actress, and romancing Victor Cassadine at the time, I think. Then she stayed around for a few years until Sharon Wyatt left. Sharon returned a few years later. I think Lucas' story was seen for six months or somewhere around that. He came out, Bobbie had some issues, Tony died after a tearful scene with Lucas, Lucas was gay-bashed, he went out on a few dates (offcamera I think), he disappeared.

I don't think Luke and Holly were a big big couple but they were popular, just not on the level of Robert/Holly. Geary claimed that most of the audience anger went towards Jackie. I think Jackie suffered from not being Laura, and Demi Moore being very abrasive in the role. When Tiffany was on the show in the early 80's, and Robert was first around, the characters were lovers. I'm not sure but I think I read that Rogers and Wyatt did not get along. This was all before Sean. Cheryl's main contribution to the show was invisible gay Lucas, and the Bobbie/Tiffany custody battle that some felt kept GH from sinking in 1992.

RIP Linda Cook. She was on ATWT for part of 1993, as Cynthia, a blue-collar woman who had a love affair with whatever the name of Royce's alter was. You can see a little of her here with Allison Janney. It's hard to believe she and Terry Lester are both gone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2QIXrqPcxQ&feature=plcp&context=C49c69ebVDvjVQa1PpcFP1vVIjtu4Ozoj5xBWsmuyAtr5laRCsvz0= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZa6emnzY-U&feature=relmfu

Luke and Laura were iconic, so it's not quite the same scale as Robert. Luke had fairly popular relationships with Holly (the first time around) and Tracy. His relationship with Felicia had some popularity before the show botched it. I think the only woman he was really really unpopular with was Jackie Templeton. Robert and Holly were very popular. Robert and Anna were very polarizing, and were only a couple for about a year, onscreen, I believe. Robert and Katherine seemed popular but I guess not the test of time. He was with Tiffany but I don't know how received that relationship was. Cheryl and Robert weren't together that long - I think they broke up because of her secrets (she'd been involved with Victor Jerome). The character was written in and out and in and out, and was not very popular. Even the actress disliked her role and felt like she was being conned by the show as they sort of treated her as a yo-yo.

I wish I had seen more of her soap work. I have only really ever seen some of her ATWT performances. I had wondered why her hair changed so much between Loving and ATWT. I saw this last night and was thinking of posting it. Weird. RIP Linda.

He would probably be even with Luke, as Robert/Cheryl was not popular.

She was on for about a year and a half or two years. I'm not sure if she was a big fan favorite but I think they were popular - a lot of fans never wanted Anna/Robert together and preferred him with Katherine (or Holly) and Anna with Duke. She left when Robert turned down her marriage proposal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78j7ckF77NU&feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtVS_IX-ET0&feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9UTi5zQkwI&feature=channel&list=UL

Did Ron/Kelly go anywhere? Those scenes with Gabrielle are just devastating to watch. Such quiet pain. I'm amazed they even got on the air. I can't believe that the show's way to resolve this was her being killed in a toilet.
