I liked the variation they did for the Dance of Joy. With Bronson Pinchot just having turned 59 and Mark Linn-Baker's 65th birthday coming up next month, their days of lifting are over. Bob Saget's cameo at the end of the bit in "Full House of Cards" was simply priceless. Too bad these can't be real programs. 😂

I would also put Katherine Squire (Emma Simpson Winters, Carolee's mom) in that category.

Agreed, but the one character who should not have been let go was Lauri.

I think it would be a good fit for LOGO or FETV. Seasons 1-3 are available on DVD now, with Season 4 set for release next month: https://www.wbshop.com/products/perfect-strangers-the-complete-fourth-season-mod Plus, the show had one of the best theme songs ever!!!

My client (I work as a caregiver) loves The Chew. Carla Hall talked with GH casting director Mark Teschner, and they aired Meghan's clip from the show.

Morgan Pinter, son of Mark Pinter (Grant Harrison) and Colleen Zenk (Barbara Ryan, ATWT), passed on in April at age 28: https://aspetuck.news/lead-news/obituary-morgan-j-pinter-28-102087

Colleen and Mark had a "yours, mine and ours" marriage - each had children with their former spouses, and had two children together. Morgan and Georgia were their children together. All love and prayers to the Zenk and Pinter families, particularly Colleen and Mark. How heartbreaking. 💔 https://aspetuck.news/lead-news/obituary-morgan-j-pinter-28-102087

It's too bad that the show didn’t start writing to Anthony Cannon's strengths until the very end of his tenure. His big misfortune was being hired to be the "new" Nick Bellini. Anthony Cannon was not Gerald Gordon, he was Anthony Cannon and the writers finally figured it out. I suspect that's a major reason why he was backburnered for so long between the end of the quack faith healer story to the beginning of Tom's terminal illness plot. If the writers had made Tom a real character from the very beginning instead of as a substitute for Nick, maybe he would have lasted longer on the show.

Did you see this? Brilliant!! 😂

I hate when they don't credit people. Who knows, maybe Doreen will be back at some point with this actress before Jennifer Wood takes over. We never did find out who was the first actor to play Pete - who regularly had lines and was the witness to Nick and Cathy's City Hall nuptials in 1972!!

I hope she gets every single penny!! https://www.google.com/amp/people.com/tv/matt-lauer-heading-100-million-divorce/amp/

True story...earlier today I was driving home from work and found myself behind a red Mustang with a vanity plate that read "ROD B". I immediately thought of this thread!!! 😂

Thanks...I wasn't sure if it just folded or wound up being consolidated into a larger company.

He still is!! At age 87, he doesn't look much different now than he did then.

He wasn't the bad guy, but he melted my heart as an elderly gentleman who never forgot his long-lost love. Mr. Linden has still got it!!

I'm sick and tired of the "Yanny" vs. "Laurel" thing. Enough already!!!

NBC SHOULD be nervous. Who knows what other skeletons they are hiding? 😠😠😠😠😠

When did New World Productions cease to exist - the mid- or late 1990s?

I don't know how Ira Avery was on LIAMST, but his stint on The Doctors from fall 1969 to summer 1970 was an unmitigated disaster. He broke up Althea and Nick (and had Nick rape Althea), throwing her into the arms of Steve, who had finally been making inroads with Carolee. It didn't help that Liz Hubbard was in Hollywood during this time and Althea was being played by Virginia Vestoff. This is no knock whatsoever on VV, who did her best with subpar material, but they made the character so unlikable by then that it was impossible to root for her. Even after Liz Hubbard returned to the show in October 1970 (and her return coincided with the debut of the Pollocks as the show's new writers), the writing regimes that followed never were able to return Althea to the strong heroine she had been under the pen of Rita Lakin. Other duds during Avery's tenure included the Gary Corrigan (aka "The Boy" or "The Corrigan Boy") saga, where Maggie became inexplicably drawn to the young patient. This led to several bizarre fantasy scenes where this patient, a gifted artist, sculpted an extremely creepy-looking bust of Maggie. Then there was Carolee and the lockbox story. The less said about that, the better. That said, the bright spots of Avery's time on TD included the introduction of the Kearney siblings - Eileen as Greta Powers and Mark as the original Billy Allison. Greta's rabbit bite story and how it changed her into a "bad seed" was easily the most compelling story of his tenure on TD, and 9-year-old Eileen absolutely killed it. The other good thing that summer was the introduction of Richard Niles as the original Rico Bellini, and how his story ended up crossing into the Greta story. It's also important to note that by the summer of 1970, Avery had been assigned a co-writer named Stanley Silverman. The best work of Avery's TD regime was when he was joined by Silverman. According to imdb, not only did Avery never write a soap after TD, he didn’t write for TV again, period. Not sure about Stanley Silverman.

I'm glad you got out of that situation safely. I guess that driver wasn't a pervert...he was just greedy and unethical!! 😨

I like that. It's true. When the show was on, it was on. It was an effortless blend of romance, comedy and tragedy.

This doesn't necessarily have to do with Hollywood, but I'm glad that Uber and Lyft are being looked at. I had to take Uber to and from work for a time while my car was out of commission, and some of the male drivers made me nervous. Thank goodness none of them ever tried anything. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/technology/2018/5/15/17355702/uber-driver-arbitration-nondisclosure-sexual-harassment-assault
