He was on GH briefly after this, as a recast of a very popular character, and was accepted quickly, but a new producer came in and killed him off. I think he was always supposed to die on ATWT. He's very good in this role, moreso than I thought he was as Tony. I like the tender moments with his kids, as he seems to realize he's probably not going to be around for long. The next episode after this is also available, and has some classic moments where Lisa tells a bemused Bob about how Olivia just fell in the pool. Then the Hughes and Lisa watch it on TV. And Lisa tells John to just be quiet and let her be the one to say it. Fun.

Those were the high points of the episode. I'm glad Tanya is getting some home truths. Tanya is so insecure but I would have more sympathy for her if she were not so smug all the time. I'm glad the show didn't take the easy way out and pass Cora off as a loveable curmudgeon. The only distracting thing about Cora is she looks like a tranny stuck in the Old West. I'm really starting to like Greg, and the relationship with Tanya is starting to seem more balanced. Too bad this didn't happen sooner but I hope this isn't just the prelude to his exit. Sick to death of Jane all she does is drink and then trash Ian. They should have let Laurie go on her maternity leave early. Pat trying to explain to a distant Whitney about the time she first became a prostitute was a beautifully done scene, very understated. I don't care about Whitney, but I like seeing the ripple effects her problems have on her family. Poor Zainab, she should have known no one can ever beat Phil. Even with the degrading end it was still a very intense scene, and very rare for these two titans to meet. Using Dot as a home for lost characters was a clever idea and June Brown was at her best with Ronnie. I just wish they hadn't ruined Ronnie so long ago and that I believed Jack as a doting father. I thought the Masood drama was a real high spot of last week, I watched some of that again and again. After a poorly written year the family is finally becoming more complex than ever, and for the first time I actually care about Christian/Syed and sort of like Syed. That's a minor miracle, as last year I usually just wanted him to stop sniveling and leave.

Thanks for finding that. I have some interviews, if I can ever get around to putting them on here. Hopefully that might give more detail. Who was Eric James? I wonder if BP was the first soap to have dope smoking.

Thanks. This is great. I wonder what that letter was about.

From the May 15, 1987 Digest. After all these years I still mostly just remember how much I enjoyed her on Herman's Head. I liked that show a lot but never have gone back as that can ruin your memories of a show.
