Robin Christopher auditioned for Evie on Search for Tomorrow after Colleen Dion left. She then auditioned for Cecelia on Loving...which Colleen Dion got.

Say la la la...

The funny thing is at the time I didn't mind Shari Ashley and Cole. I think it might have been because she was so horrible with everyone that he at least calmed her down. I remember just hating her when she was yapping about Jack and Diane, and Dina, and such. She was so unsympathetic. It's hard to imagine a man like Cole ever being on Y&R today.

They really struggled with where to take Victoria and Cole once they got married. He had the aggressive agent or whoever, Fitz, then he had the attractive woman Victoria was jealous of. Then there was the Nina stuff which went on for a while and kind of annoyed me. There was the mysterious person who brought the 4 of them together for a meal. The stuff with Cole and Ashley was so obviously a case of not knowing what to do. I remember that tender scene where Cole taught Vicky how to pray. If only she'd kept that up...pray for a comb, at the very least. If there was one "classic" Y&R story you could do over, not a story that sucked, but a good story which you would have changed a bit, what would it be?

Michaela McQueen is returning briefly for the latest edition of Hollyoaks Later. http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/s13/hollyoaks/news/a324230/hollyoaks-return-for-michaela-mcqueen.html I wish the wonderful Zak was going to be with her - such an underrated actor and easy on the eye...I can't say that for a lot of the men on the show now.

I wonder if Marland knew some of his limitations and that's one of the reasons that Liz Hubbard got to have so much leeway over the dialogue. Looking back at those episodes she really does seem to have such a reign over a lot of her scenes that she didn't have after he passed away...the closest was probably the show's last year, when Goutman probably didn't give a crap and she got to go back to the Lucinda I knew. I think I would have liked Wert more if they'd had him in more story with Lisa, instead of the quad with Mike, Rosanna, and Carly. Mitch, did you see the Digest 1988 critique of ATWT I posted a few days ago?

How long had Sven been around? Just for that story?

Thanks so much. Did she ever have anything to do? That's quite the gauntlet of actresses - I didn't even know Yarlett and Saunders were close in age. I didn't know Yarlett ever did any other soap work.

Ellen Wheeler tested for Dr. Whitney Baker (whoever that was) on DAYS.

December 20, 1983 Digest recap.

Also from this issue.
