Maybe both gave her more time off to do theater, movies and with Sheffer, Law & Order.

To tell you the truth, the last decade of ATWT with how the Marshall Travers and Doc Reese characters were portrayed, it was some of the worst portrayals of Black male characters the show has ever had.

Very interesting interview that Eddie Earl Hatch in the late 1980s. He does not have very flattering things to say about his time at ATWT. This is not how you spell 'role'. Dynamic Roll Pulls Hatch Back To Soaps Tucker, who I believe was out before Marland came, was treated the worst, IMO. ATWT, like most daytime soaps does not have a good track record with Black characters. The writing was always incomplete. Tamara Tunie's exit, after all her years on the show, was written with as much care as Hatch's--none.

From what I can see, other than being Steve's more financially savvy business partner and sidekick, the show did little with Tucker. Heather Dalton had a father, at the very least, did we even know where Tucker came from? His exit wasn't given even so much as a passing glance. Here's a clip of him from a few years ago for a reunion for a movie he was in called The Warriors.

THIS. Thank you.

I've seen this promo on a number of occasions. What I'd really like to see is the episode where Whit and Dorothy argued about telling Kurt, or was that done in flashback?

Stan's never done particularly well on grass, even when fully healthy and winning a lot on other surfaces. It should come as no surprise that Andy won in straight sets.

There's no way that I would claiming that ICE could be abolished during a Trump administration (it would likely take at least a decade, under the best of circumstances), I was addressing the Sanders response to the question which shows that this, like a lot of issues that affect POC is clearly not on his radar. As for making promises that cannot be delivered upon, when has that ever stopped Sanders before? I guess the impetus is very different when you personally know people whose lives are on a knife's edge because of these policies. It's not just something in the abstract or simply a news story to turn away from. Then again, there were many that claimed that some of us were being reactionary to the possibility of Trump's election jeopardizing lives. And the call for abolishing ICE did not originate from politicians. There have been people calling for the abolition of ICE almost since its inception. It's an issue that has a grassroots origin and has come to the politicians attention only because of the current crisis. An attempt beyond talk.

Roseanne girl, don't sell yourself short-- it's both.

Well, right as we debate this, you have teenage kids in this Walmart converted "care centers" walking out and into the void unaccounted for. Nobody mentions that these centers cannot keep legally prevent them from walking out, even if they have safety concerns. Raising the issue of ICE and making politicians (especially those possibly seeking higher office) answer questions and at least, consider a plan would be a lot productive than shouting on about whether people should practice civility to a bunch of deplorables. Bernie and the other purity ponies should also have to answer and come up with a plan...don't they always have the answers, so they say? Politicians should be put under the microscope and have to answer the "What next?" question. Why are folks suddenly lowering the bar for every politician under the sun now? People wanted Obama to make bread out of stone but suddenly, we can't even try to accomplish anything. Shouldn't even attempt to change a system that's clearly inhumane.

A an organization that lacks dysfunction perhaps? People may not realize that ICE was created in 2003, yes, the U.S. did indeed function with INS and earlier organizations. ICE has probably been the worst of any of the immigration enforcement organizations. They're definitely the least cognizant of people's civil and human rights. Reading this article made me think of HOC. Very unfortunate, highly unprofessional, to say the least. How an Affair Between a Reporter and a Security Aide Has Rattled Washington Media

Weren't they cousins? Frank was played by Jacques Perrault. Sadly, the actress who was playing Frannie in the 1984 episode, Terri Vandenbosch died several years ago. I do think that Julianne Moore was a good recast and like Scott Bryce and Hilary Bailey Smith, I though Moore and Marx were believable as siblings (even the light hair). This August 1984 episode leads right into Whit's murder because in the soap summaries, it says that right after that party, Jay's mother Dorothy has an argument with Whit over his broken promises to marry her as well as whether to tell Kurt the truth. In this episode you can see there is setup toward the murder because both Jay and Steve have public outbursts in regards to their animus toward Whit and Craig will be one of the last people to see Whit alive, which happens in this episode. Boy, now I wish the next episode were posted online, LOL.

The tennis powers that be are so stupid. Banning social media accounts from posting GIFs. Oh, and I think what Kyrgios did was unnecessary and immature yet I see that he got a higher fine than that 'silent fine' that Pliskova must have gotten for causing actually property damage.

Okay, I just checked and that channel has the episode but it's chopped up in clips. The music cues are terrible on this episode, lol.

I remember clips of this performance posted on the WLS blog but has the complete episode been posted? This episode has a lot of music. They must've had a deal with Jermaine Jackson or something, lol. It looks as though they're leading up to Whit's murder. He's already got Jay and Steve angry with him. From what I've read, this was sometime in the first week of August, 1984.

I was surprised at Cilic winning without much of a first serve today--his serve appeared to have deserted him. People remarked at how they thought that Novak had shown improvement but still appeared winded at some point in the match, so endurance might still be an issue.

The Croats on the come-up this weekend!!

I would imagine that every POC in Congress is at some point subject to racial slurs. That much about Congress is a lot like life itself.

@P.J. My point was that TPTB had plenty of time. Wagner didn't go in her 70s like McLaughlin, it wouldn't have even had to have been a "final" scene. It could've been done 10 years earlier, as part of another story... just a simple "Good Night, dear". Soaps never think ahead, was my point. By the way, the NYT does interviews with people about their legacy, way before they die, you'd be surprised at the number of people who actually would like their laurels while they're alive. People like to know that they can actually contribute to the building of their legacy and how people will see them after they're gone.

The Luke effect. Unfortunately, General Hospital found success with turning a rapist into a leading man (I still can't figure out how people accepted that) so it opened the path for other soaps' attempts at it. I wish I could say that it stopped at Luke but we know from Roger Howarth's character on OLTL, that that unfortunate "phenomenon" continued. Martha Byrne's Lily was what happens when the teen scene is so small, Lily became an avatar for every 80s teen scenario involving a self-absorbed whiny angsty young woman. The Molly Ringwald effect or whatever characters Molly Ringwald kept playing during the 1980s. It wouldn't have been so bad if there were other teens, particularly teen girls on the show (other than Meg, who didn't stay a teen for long). Having all these adults going to a teen's birthday/graduation party struck me as ridiculous. This was also done for Dusty and Meg. I think though that Lily was supposed to represent all the fragility of a sheltered, self-absorbed poor little rich girl but it often got to be a bit much. One reason why I'm always more interested to hear from writers because I'd love to know how many of these stories/characters were by the writers' hand and how much might have been pushed by executives with clipboard in hand citing market research.

That seemed very detached compared to the episode they did for Chris Hughes. I'm surprised at how cool Bob was. When Don McLaughlin passed, he was choking back tears, it felt so genuine. Nancy was on longer, her episode should've consisted of more than a cluster gathering of black clad characters in small room but these were the waning days, the show had probably been packing up the set, so it was what it was. I'm indifferent to the Katie character but I wouldn't blame her for taking the focus from Nancy. If anyone did that it was Chris' ridiculous story.

I had stopped watching too but isn't that episode posted on You Tube somewhere? I feel as if I saw it. I don't believe there was a funeral. I was surprised at how minimal it all was given Helen Wagner's long tenure and Nancy Hughes' overall impact on the show. The soaps always hide behind budget when they are called out for doing the least but they could've done better than what they did. Also what I could never understand was, given the fact that TPTB knew that they had declining ratings and there were other P&G soaps that had recently been canceled over the last several years and given the age of the actress, why couldn't they take the time to film brief scene, in advance, of Nancy saying "Good night, Bob". It made sense, since she delivered the first lines "Good morning, Bob". Once the actress hit 90 years of age, they should've made some type of plans. They could've added it as a part of a tribute and part of the show's final episode. I was really mad at ATWT for not bothering to think ahead. Then again, that had become the show's M.O. in their last decade-no respect for the show's history and no foresight for what could happen in the future.

He's done a lot more TV than theater. His last theater credit is in 2007. Eric Sheffer Stevens

I don't know if anyone has seen this but the compilation of these statistics are quite interesting.
