  1. What a riveting episode! The opening scenes. Wow. Beautiful, soulful. Incredibly fulfilling after all these years. The scenes with DoppelCooper were mesmerizing and chilling. The phone call and the scene at the police station. The special credit at the end. The images of the woods, the house. Oh, my heart. I wept.
  2. Who knows? Frankly, I don't care. I merely chimed in that I personally thought she looked great with short hair. End of story.
  3. I think Katherine looked great with the short hair.
  4. Didn't Robert Soderberg co-write AW with Dorothy Ann Purser?
  5. Sometimes the issue involves Apple's Safari browser, which is very problematic with videos not playing, the system freezing and/or crashing, and pages not loading. I had this issue with both my work and home Macs. In my case, my solution was upgrading my version of Safari (for free) and using other browsers like Chrome or Firefox. Since these fixes, I've had no issues.
  6. Thanks for posting the videos. It's been a delight rewatching some of these episodes (or catching them for the first time).
  7. I think it's Colton Shires, who played Little Ethan.
  8. Nope. Laibson and McTavish were gone by the time Phillip and Harley were paired. Brown and Esensten were head writers when they became a couple.
  9. Sunday's episode was truly riveting and mind blowing in some many respects. After the episode ended, I went to bed and those scenes replayed in my mind again and again. Now, two days later, the episode is still affecting me in so many ways. We truly have never seen anything like it on television before.
  10. I recall seeing an article about The Doctors where Marland was critical of Julia Duffy (for leaving the show abruptly) and Elizabeth Hubbard (for changing her lines). Those comments weren't as catty as the one about Hulswit.
  11. I recall reading an interview with Mary Stuart who said that she was slated to join GL in 1987 after the cancellation of Search for Tomorrow. She was supposed to play the role of Hannah Bauer. Like Jack, Lainie, and their kids, Hannah (to my knowledge) had never been mentioned before. I wonder if Hannah was going to be Johnny's mother originally.
  12. Didn't GL create a few scenes featuring Gentry and Ellen Parker as Maureen? I kinda remember that. And wasn't McTavish toying with a Ed/Nola romance before Peter Simon left in 1996?
  13. I recall the episode where Pamela assumed the role of Allison. Her first appearance was in Eli's store as I recollect. Beyond that, I don't recall her Allison being as prominent as Kathy had been during her stint. I was only 10 at the time but remember being very disappointed that Kathy had left the show.
  14. The character's name was Dorothy Conrad. She was a former nurse who had been married to Dr. Jerry Kane. She also stalked Jerry's new wife Heather. At the time, Bassey went by the name of Joan Bassie.
  15. How cool. I didn't realize that Mann and Weil had composed the theme to Morning Star. Both Mann and Weil, and their romance, are featured in the Broadway musical Beautiful, which tells the story of Carole King's musical journey.
  16. I always thought it was fan fantasy too. I've known a few people who claimed to be soap writers, yet were uncredited. So I'm incredulous when I see rumors like this one. This person made claims about ATWT and GL that never rang true to me due to the contradictions in her claims and the holes in her stories.
  17. I was skeptical of this person's claims. She claimed to have inside information on lots of soaps but wouldn't reveal her identity. I believe she claimed that Lemay planned the storyline but it was rejected, much like Lemay's plans to have Michael Randolph come out as gay.
  18. Nope. I meant Angie. This person (who never revealed their name) claimed that Harding Lemay had planned a romance between Jim and Angie, who worked for him. Frankly, I was incredulous.
  19. On another board, someone (who claimed to be a soap writer) said that Lemay had planned to pair Jim Matthews and Angie Perrini. Anyone else hear that rumor or know if it's true?
  20. It always seemed that Gwen was a last minute addition in that story. I thought I read that the original plan was to have Willis appear but when that fell through, they substituted Gwen for Willis.
  21. Plus, as I recollect, CBS was toying with expanding SFT around that time.
  22. I think she was an excellent actress. I loved her portrayal of Ashley who seemed like she was going to be a bad girl at first but then became a major heroine who had an entire family built around her. She had great chemistry with both Jerry Lanning and David Forsyth.
  23. From what I've seen, Search went from a 6.3 in the 1980-81 season to a 6.8 in the 1981-82 season (on CBS). The ratings decline happened when the show switched to NBC in 1982, with the show getting a 3.4 rating for the 1981-82 season (on NBC).
  24. The story started in the summer of 1998 and ended in February/March 1999. Head writers Barbara Esensten and James Harmon Brown teased the story in 1998 when Holly became obsessed with baby Maureen Reardon and stated that Holly would eventually "take" the infant. Somehow that story morphed into the nursery rhyme stalker -- which they heralded as never being done before on daytime TV.
  25. According to what I read online, his voice was not dubbed. Rather, he and the actress used an American accent in the the U.S. commercials.
