So from the 1976-1977 synopsis that were posted in the discussion area...

-Jason was an attorney, didn't know that

-What ever happened to Eleanor Conrad?

-Maggie cheated on Matt with a guy named Kyle! Never knew that, thought they were the Tom and Alice (DAYS) of the show.

From reading some summaries from the first few years of Loving, I can honestly say that the stories, at least on paper, seemed very interesting and if I had been born then (I wasn't born until 5 years after the debut) I would have watched. The dynamic of the Alden family tied in with Shana's arrival thanks to Dane, and the revealation that Dane was Jack's father, all sounds like juicy soap to me. The soap IMO seems very interesting up until some point around 88/89. the whole Trisha/??? Hartman/Gwyeneth story seemed a little contrived.

Question: Reading one of the summaries from the early 90s, I notice that Bernard Barrow's character had a son in the mob, and that son was involved with Ava. Was this story written by Guza?

Thanks dc and SteveFrame for all your help, much appreciated!

A few questions...

What happened to Doreen Aldrich, and was she ever given a maiden name?

Other than M.J., was there any other people introduced as Carolee's family?

So Mona's marriage & probably divorce to Winston Croft happened off screen?

So was it ever revealed as to who was Steve and Jason's father?

Who were Mike Power's kid(s)?

In his teenage/adult years Billy had always been portrayed as an villian?

And did Toni actually die?

Thanks so much everyone for the information, I've been looking all around the internet for information on this once great soap.

Steve thanks for the extra insight into the history of The Doctors. It clears a variety of confusion about the characters.

So Carolee's maiden name was Match, and not Simpson? For some reason I had thought that, but it makes sense as to why M.J. and Carolee were sisters.

Didn't realize that Doreen was Jason's ex-wife, not just another Aldrich since IMDb didn't have her maiden name listed. Of course its most of the info on IMDb that's caused the confusion for me.

As for other Aldrich's, Erich was Steve and Carolee's son, and Stephanie was(?) their daughter also?

How did this soap end?

What happened to characters like Mona, Mike, Steve, and Carolee?

I haven't watched Transformers or Harry Potter yet. The last movie I watched was Knocked Up, which was hilarious.

Wonderful show. The spin off is going to rock. Shonda Rhimes is a genius!!!!!

Yes I echo the same sentiments as everyone, what a excellent cast!!!

The episode started off good, then got disappointing, but ended really good in a way. Not the best episode of the season, but it wasn't that bad either. Again I loved the ending. Very emotional.
