1992 Christmas party. Speaking of 1992, a January 1992 Digest says Michael Tylo's character was to be called Milano. I thought Blade was a ridiculous name! I wonder if someone was a Who's the Boss fan.

Yes.

I think she could have passed - Susan Diol didn't look that much younger, and she was supposed to be a hardened, longtime con artist. I do have to admit I kind of laughed when she went on in the interview about how even though she was in her late 30's, she could pass for her 20's, or even younger without makeup, and she just can't help that. Cat is and was beautiful but IMO she could NOT pass for her 20's by that time (this was 1993).

Cat Hickland auditioned to play Angela Holliday on OLTL (she said she was probably too glam for the role). She also tried out for Mindy on GL after Kimberly Simms left. She was upset that JFP seemed to think she was wrong for the role and never seriously considered her - she even said that Vincent Irizarry felt she'd be great as Mindy.

I have to watch this every Christmas... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUbKmCfnKJg

In a way it's almost sad seeing Erica go on about Bianca, as you know she's overcompensating. By the time I started watching AMC, it was a mixed bag (mid-90's), so I enjoy seeing the earlier stuff. I especially like seeing more of Erica at this time, as it seems like they had the characterization just right.

The postcard line threw me, mostly because I'm surprised she came up with all that (then again Erica had to get some scheme genes from her mother's side...). I couldn't help imagining Phoebe knocking back a few, caterwauling to Charles about, "That Kane woman, wasting your far too generous salary on frivolities, and rubbing our nose in it!!" I loved the line about how Erica "faded like the Japanese lanterns at her birthday party," and especially when Mona said all she was left with was "a distant and rather dull ache." It's startling how seamlessly AMC seemed to be integrated at this time, and how this was dismantled only a year later.

SFK did you get to watch the July 11, 1995 clip yet? There's a totally random scene where Dorian gets a makeover in some salon? I guess nothing says constant efforts to stay off death row like sassy closeups of hairspray bottles. Kelly is also getting a makeover (too bad she didn't get a personality...) Anyway, I'd never seen it before. It starts about 5 minutes in. There's also more of the horror Ken Kenitzer.

They knew what they were doing - they desperately wanted to make Antonio/Jessica a big couple (never happened) and Keri paid the price. She wasn't obsessed with Antonio at the time of the stuff with her mother. She was more of a generic ingenue then. That was a trashy, needlessly vulgar story, typical of Tomlin/Broderick/Whitesell.

Bev at her best!

I liked her. Most of her stories stunk. I hated Antonio and the story about her carrying her mother's child, Antonio's baby, was just awful. Wasted potential.

ghfan89, thank you so much for posting that 1993 episode. I hadn't seen any of AMC from that time, outside of a few clips. I'm glad to finally be able to see some of Kendall's story, beyond the SMG clips already on Youtube. The show was so fortunate that Frances Heflin was still there to relive the story of Erica's rape and pregnancy. Having rarely seen Heflin get the chance to really act, she was masterful here. She makes you believe this storyline. The show also did a surprisingly decent job of passing Susan off as a teenage girl. Great to see more of Kendall's uneasiness, longing, and the buildup of her rage towards Bianca. Natalie is so flat. Her fried hair, her generic personality. No wonder they wrote her off not too long after this. Glad they didn't go with Maria/Trevor, but I prefer her here to what she became later.
