  1. I'm sure someone knows better than me but I think just a month or two.
  2. Thanks. It gets confusing as the end has a Newhart promo for an episode that aired on January 23.
  3. Thanks. Jordan and Kim always worked so well together. I do agree with you that it was more interesting when he wasn't just in love with Reva.
  4. I also did not know why they didn't bring Anna Holbrook back, as she'd already returned earlier in the year.
  5. Thanks for the clip and review @Maxim . I am glad to see all the appreciation of Nancy Addison - it is disappointing this role didn't last longer as it would be a half a decade before she'd get more soap work, and she was born for soaps. I don't know if you've ever seen her on Loving or Ryan's Hope but I think you'd enjoy her (even if Jill could be insufferable). What impresses me most with the gaslighting story is how simple it is. All Adam does is move an item. I'm sure it progresses from there, but I appreciate the lack of light shows and endless stunts.
  6. Thanks for watching them. The stories by this half of 1984 aren't that interesting but some of the characters still are. I don't think he was that bad either. He has the intensity down (which Raines never did). What he lacks is Bernau's charisma. Replacing Bernau was going to be impossible.
  7. I reuploaded three videos which were on Youtube last year. I am not sure of the exact dates on two of them so just had to guess.
  8. I think they still could have worked in story for them, as they lived near Terry and Liz was friends with her, but for tighter story and budget reasons I guess I get it. I do wonder if the claims of them possibly getting a spinoff were true.
  9. Thanks. Always appreciate more insight.
  10. Cliff and Nina had been split multiple times and this last time had been over a year and a half, so I think viewers might have been willing to see him move on...beyond the racism, I do wonder if they thought it was too soon for Angie. Jesse had only been dead about six months, hadn't he? And then the story where Debbi decided to leave (I'm not sure if she left because of the story - probably not) was a love triangle involving her mother, which no one was asking for. I guess Debbi may have left anyway if they had not given her proper story, but it's a shame they couldn't find a way to have her in major story without focus on her love life. She was a widowed mother, a doctor...plenty of possibilities.
  11. I could agree with that, yes. I can see Lemay having his own biases on the Steve/Rachel front. Thanks for the explanation. I would be so glad if some episodes from early Wyndham showed up (beyond the two bits we have now) to see the change. I've always wondered if Lemay took time but I guess he really didn't, other than what he mentioned about using Ada's pregnancy to soften Rachel. Do you think Wyndham was playing Rachel similar to Charlotte on GL, or was that a more sympathetic character?
  12. AW is one of those shows like GL where they outlived a natural cancelation endpoint so many times that I don't even entirely know what I'd blame, but I see what you mean.
  13. I didn't really care about the gorilla. I just wish they'd had a few more returns which would have been fitting for the end (like Carmen Duncan as Iris...and I still have no idea why Sam Groom did not return as Russ when RUSS' DAUGHTER WAS ON THE CANVAS).
  14. You can also see Wendy in a slew of mid '90s commercials.
  15. That's crazy. Makes me feel so old. It's a nice cast photo, even if Scott Clifton looks scared and I'm not sure why KKL and McCook aren't centered more.
  16. I'm so confused with Eve's backstory as I wasn't sure if they revealed all of that before she went nuts. I liked Eve. I thought Edson was very interesting to watch and more compelling than many of the women in her age range on the canvas at the time. The Eve/Ed pairing was clearly because both characters were at a loose end, but it worked for me at the time. I did not enjoy Edson at all on AW, although that's partly down to bad writing.
  17. @dc11786 I hadn't even thought of connecting Becky's story and Kristin's. I wonder if Kahlenberg was the only actor who appeared on both those soaps. The actress who played Jill posted here briefly about 15 years ago. I guess we must not be far off the end for the Cummings family.
  18. @Cheap21 For whatever Megan McTavish's word is worth, she alleged that Kiberd harassed both Kate and Felicity La Fortune. I did understand why people didn't like the Trevor/Janet pairing. I'm not sure if it's the choice I would have made either. However, the show had written both characters into a bubble by the time the relationship began, and James and Robin did have chemistry together. The show had spent a year trying to redeem Janet, including her saving Amanda from a well, putting up with Timmy going off the rails and targeting her, etc. I don't think they were massively unpopular or beloved by fans.
  19. Jonathan not wanting it would make sense.
  20. Thanks so much @Alan
  21. Thanks. I guess she only peeks her head out every twenty-plus years.
  22. She also fascinates me, the little I've seen of her.
  23. Thanks @dc11786 really enjoying your recaps/reviews. I didn't realize this Dave was on for this long. And I see we're getting into Miriam's downward spiral. Sounds like it's a bit rushed but I guess they realized they were writing her into a corner.
  24. Thanks. Glad to hear your perspective.
  25. That's a great idea about recasting Mike - maybe bring Ann back when Jack died and have Mike return to support Stacey. I know the canvas was very full and younger by then, but it could have been a short stint to give Ann some closure. Maybe she and Mike could have left to see if Jack was still alive. Yes, someone in the comments said that the first tape was Leslie and then Tudor filmed another version. I hope more of Denniston's run shows up as this is such a time of turmoil for Gwyn.
