Yes, they did.

Wow, that even predates Harding Lemay's efforts to write a gay storyline on AW. What year was LIAMST considering that story?

Nic Coster is in real life a certified scuba instructor and did many (if not all) of those underwater scenes. According to his FB page, Nic taught John Allen Nelson what he needed to know for those scenes and gave swimming lessons to others who were not in those scenes, like Todd McKee. I liked places like La Mesa and the State Street Bar, which were phased out after a couple of years. One thing I never understood was why some of the Lockridges would frequent The Orient Express, Eden's restaurant. Not only was it located in the Capwell Hotel, but why would they give their money/business to a mortal family enemy?

It is sad. She had seemingly everything going for her at one time. I wonder if she is still in touch with anyone from her AW days, like Tom Eplin...if any of them have reached out to her.

Do you know how long he was on?

The gist of the feud is that it ran back a couple of generations. Didn't one of the Capwells try to steal the ship S.S. Amanda Lockridge and/or treasure on board?

I would love to see that era of the show. It's my understanding that many of the pre-1967 episodes are damaged or missing. I hope that some of those episodes still do exist and will be shown someday.

Yes, and that child was not the child everyone thought he was!!!

Yes, and I love how they kept John Beradino in the sequence for awhile after he had passed on.

You're welcome! Actually, I haven't read any of her books yet. I'm going to head on out to the library in the next couple of days and see if they have any of them. I'll get back to you. 😊

Louise Sorel and Nicolas Coster were an inspired acting team. As Augusta and Lionel, they could have you in tears of laughter one moment, and in the next, tears of sadness.

Here's a list of some of her books: https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/8576.Barbara_Morgenroth Her blog: http://barbaramorgenroth.blogspot.com/?m=1 Interviews: http://interviewswithwriters.com/interview-with-author-barbara-morgenroth/ https://ginamc.blogspot.com/2013/06/barbara-morgenroth.html?m=1

Liz Hubbard's characters sure had it bad for brilliant yet grouchy doctors (see also: The Doctors). 😉

I don't think so because pretty much all of them are gone, and the four that are left are lost causes. 😢😠

I can see that, because that was when the show was at its peak. I didn't start watching until "Faces" served as the opening.

Those were the days when the Emmys were worth watching!!!

It's been awhile since I've seen the early 1985 episodes, but to my recollection the two sisters were not close when Julia came to town. They hadn't seen each other in years. In fact, Lionel and Warren didn’t even recognize Julia at first because she had been very fat the last time they'd seen her. 😨😂

It's stories like this that really break my heart. It's sickening that the likes of Allen and Polanski are still working and not in jail. https://pagesix.com/2018/01/18/dylan-farrow-on-woody-allens-alleged-sexual-abuse-i-loved-my-father/

On another note, are he and Marcia McCabe still together? I've gotten the occasional form letter from her to the "Sunny fans" - and while she goes on and on about her grown kids, she doesn't mention Mr. Goutman.

YIKES!!!

Barbara mentioned that she had plans to focus the show more around the hospital and also add more traditional romance (Matt and Maggie would have remarried AND stayed so for good, for example). Hillary Bailey (now Smith) had caught on with the audience and plans were underway to cast an actor to play her brother. The one they chose was none other than Hillary's future OLTL co-star, Roscoe Born, not long after his run on RH. However, the cancellation was handed down almost immediately thereafter, so he never made it to air. The grave-robbing, the plague, the anti-aging serum and the plot against smoking were all stories NBC wanted, according to Barbara. She said everyone on the show, in front of and behind the camera, gave all they could but morale was so low due to lack of support from the network. The end was in sight and they all knew it, but it didn't stop them from working as hard as they could. Today, Barbara Morgenroth is a novelist and has been so for many years. She says it is very freeing to write the stories and characters the way she likes without interference from anyone else.

You're welcome!! You can see him getting up to accept his award towards the end of this clip (at about the 4:15 mark):

He won an Emmy for his role on Loving. Not only that, but he was the only cast member in the 12-year run of the show to win an Emmy.

Does anyone else remember the 1993 sitcom Phenom? All these years later, I still vividly remember the theme song "The Promise and the Prize", written and performed by Carly Simon:
