That storyline - Jake/Joe/Tad hounding Dixie into a miscarriage and not caring - is one of the main reasons I quit watching for a while in 99-00. It's also one of the reasons why I was probably one of the very few AMC viewers who didn't think the show improved all that much after McTavish left. The story with Tad constantly going on about Ray Gardner and Adam = Ray was nasty stuff. I always felt like that time period was what destroyed Tad as a character. The show as a whole was just a mess - I think the only story which got a positive response at the time was David/Erica. This was also at the time of WTF stuff like Mateo pouring Hayley a drink, and the candy cane, and Greenlee/Becca/Scott.

I guess I thought her main goal was always rough payback, and he knew that from the start. Would he care if he didn't have a crush on this Tyler? I'm always annoyed by characters who do terrible things and then suddenly act horrified at other people who do terrible things.

I haven't watched every episode, but the most recent one was, I think, Nolan whining to EVC Emily about her schemes. It just felt cloying and like the usual token character who is there as some pseudo-conscience - I thought he was kind of a drag.

Thanks for letting me know more about Pearl. 12/89 Weekly

I may have one or two; I'll see tomorrow. This is a 12/89 Weekly interview with Linda Thorson. Sorry, I have a terrible time scanning these.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen the 1986 Christmas ATWT episode. I didn't realize until now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvMT22vEZ-M

Thanks for sharing that with us. At least she didn't seem to look down on soaps.

That was an intersting article. I don't see a lot of soap stuff from that magazine so it's a nice find. Hicks was one of the few new actors to RH who seemed to settle in immediately, which is a feat, especially since she had little experience.

Thanks again for all these dates. I wish we could see some of these Pattis. I know we've seen Murphy and then the last one.

This is one of the strangest stories I've heard. http://blog.al.com/live/2011/12/alabama_politician_caught_in_s.html

That's wonderful. Thanks for letting us know.

She had a very whiny voice, but generally most of the Biancas did, at least until Lind.

Nathalie Paulding was a very interesting actress. She wasn't great, but she did play up a lot of the insecurity, bitterness, and self-loathing that Bianca would feel at that time, all under a "sweet" and "nice" demeanor. I also think that Gina wasn't much of an actress. I can't see her playing heavy material.

That's interesting. I wonder who the other writer was, and what damage they did.

I don't know, but thanks for sharing these tidbits with us. I'd never have known about that.

That would probably be from 1982 then - Rasche is there through 1981.
