At first I thought you meant Reid who was on ATWT last year! I'm glad they never had Maggie and Lyla fight over a man. Then again I guess Anne Sward might have enjoyed having some sort of story. Roya as Felicia would have been dynamite. She had such an exotic look. Who was Stephanie?

June 1972 Daytime TV talks a bit about what the cast did after cancelation, and they say that in the last few weeks, Diane Herbert and Annette Davis joined the cast. Do you know anything about them?

June 1972 Daytime TV - Donna McKechnie was flown in to test for Betty Cord on Return to Peyton Place.

Thank you for taking the time to do these photos John.

Another 1996 episode. This is the first of 4 clips. The boys go to Ibiza.

Probably already known, but the exact date Sylvia Bancroft was killed off, was, if Daytime TV is accurate, January 13.

May 1972 Daytime TV Love of Life - John W. Moore resumed his Charles Lamont role on January 3. He was gone for 13 weeks to work in the movie 1776. He was replaced by Stan Watt.

It looks like Scott Walker and the WIGOP's power grab cost them the Milwaukee County Executive's office, and also, very possibly, a state supreme court seat. http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/119308059.html And of course, the governor uses the same class warfare stuff we know so well. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/04/walker-blames-madison-for-supreme-court-election.php?ref=fpblg

I would like Yusef more if there weren't frequent reminders of how wicked he is supposed to be - the black outfits, the schemes, the cutaways to him looking superior. I wish we saw more of a softer side, as we did when he was talking to Afia before the engagement party. At the time of the Chryed reveal I was very annoyed that the show stacked the deck by making Masood and Zainab so hostile, and for some reason they have continued to pile this on with Masood. They have taken away what made him popular in the first place and now he is this miserable and weak man. Zainab I still love because she still gets some warm and human moments, like her scene with Afia. I'm still not entirely sure about where they've gone with Tamwar. It wasn't too long ago he was just the kid brother caught in the middle of a family war, and now he's having sex in Syed's bed! At first this story was just plot plot plot but in the past few weeks they've finally started showing more of their different personalities and how they mix - like that awkward scene where she wanted to dance and he didn't but he got into it for her. I loved the scene where Syed and Masood looked at each other in the pouring rain. This was the first time I've ever felt sympathy for Syed, even if I don't know why he brought Christian with him. Christian looked his most attractive with the stubble. I'm glad to see Pat back but wish we'd seen her conversation with Carol. The show never lets us see them interact. The scene with Janine was sort of been there, done that, as was the stuff with Janine and her grandmother, although this does have potential. Tanya is so smug all the time. I wish Ian had blasted her. Heather's love storyline is just pointless and pathetic...like her.

Michael Moon is a quasi-Andy Hunter, but Andy was, in spite of some very cliched writing, a hot piece. Michael just looks a bit sickly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdlNeG3P3a8

This is how I like the Mitchells...completely defeated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwBTu_V-coA&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSaED7za6NI&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

I think you would enjoy the episode with Janine and Lauren looking for Whitney. There are some good scenes with Janine/Whitney and with Janine and Jody Latham.

I loved Nick on Sunset Beach but he was a bit too old in the face for Fox. Neighbours - the old Libby introduces the temp Libby. A spoof of this:

She was fired in late 1996 and left early the next year. She started on OLTL in late 1999 or early 2000.

That's interesting. I think she would have been good as Reenie, and I wonder if she would have ended up playing Brooke, since her work as Reenie helped get Julia Barr that part.

She was fired, along with John Bolger. She wasn't on daytime again for about 3 years, until her friend JFP got her a job at OLTL, along with Linda Dano.

I don't mean to make it sound like Cindy was a dreadfully written character but there were just some WTF moments...she was a cat burglar. She worshiped an African totem called Booba or something. She shot Grant in the heart. On and on.

She was a great bitch yet also very sympathetic and able to play layers. Cindy was a horribly written character but Kim always made it work. You know, she went to the same acting school as the man who played Gary (the second Gary) and I think the guy who played Chris Madison.

I mostly remember Robyn wearing the fur coat all the time and having an affected little girl type voice.

She said that? Wow.
