Sure!! I'd actually like to see that story sometime!!!

I thought I read he had a kidney problem, but I could be wrong.

Drat - I missed it. I'll have to check the CBS site.

I don't know which AMC episode it is exactly, but it would have to be somewhere in the summer of 1997. I found that exchange in the Classic Lines section of an issue of SOD from July 1997.

Exactly. I may be nuts, but I think young actress Eden Sher (who plays Sue Heck on ABC's The Middle) looks a lot like Sarah Felder in her RH days. She also has the same kind of energy that Sarah brought to RH.

Awesome!! Thanks again. Today's two episodes are especially chilling - and once again, major props to all but especially Gerald Gordon. From guilt, anger (at Penny), sheer panic, sorrow and grief (as Nick was the one to finally find his wife unconscious and bloody on the clinic floor), he played every beat perfectly. Too bad Daytime Emmys weren't around back then. Yes, GG did win an Emmy in 1976, but that was for his role as President Andrew Jackson to Fran Brill's Rachel in The First Ladies Diaries (which I am still actively trying to find). If the awards had existed then, he surely would have won at least once for Nick. (Liz Hubbard did win for Althea in 1974.) Speaking of LH, I give credit to her and indeed any actor who can play unconscious like that (I would never be able to), and with her eyes open at that. Penny sure doesn't know when to quit!! Good for Nick for putting his foot down. I've always been a fan of the Matt/Nick friendship - they make each other laugh, they drive each other up the wall, and when one is at a low point, the other is right there to lend a hand. Nick was there to support Matt during his separation from Maggie over the Karen thing (visiting him in that sorry hotel room a couple of times for drinks and to lend a sympathetic ear), and now Matt is helping Nick in this crisis. The most chilling moment - Nick finally finding Althea. "Althea...baby..." "Dedicated to the brotherhood of healing" - the motto of Hope Memorial and now that this is one of their own, it will bring on new meaning.

Thanks!! Could you try it a little more tall and less wide?

Thanks also for the Kathleen Tolan interview. She looks happy and healthy, and I'm glad she has found a livelihood she likes so much.

Hmmm, I never knew that about Helen/Maeve's clothes. It certainly makes sense.

I went back and watched the second episode, and the scene between Nick and Penny when he finds out the truth was over 8 minutes long. Regardless of what you may think of Evil Penny, Jami Fields had some serious chops.

Yup, and she wore it on FF!!!! That dress sure got a lot of use!!!!

I will never forget this immortal line, delivered as only Marcy Walker could: Marian: I have been around the block a few times. Liza: A few times? Mother, you should have the golden arches as your headboard!

Hmmmmm...

Thanks!! I think it was real - at least, it doesn't seem like any sound effects were added. Liz didn't swing too hard, so it was probably real.

No, that was going to be my guess.

I'm giving retroactive Emmys to both Liz Hubbard and Gerald Gordon. As great as each of them are in scenes apart from each other (i.e. when she's working in the clinic and he's working in the lab), I think their best work was done in tandem. This is an acting team for the ages (along with Jami Fields as the misguided Penny "The Omen" Davis)! Hey Carl, you've made Carolee gifs before. Can you make a gif of Althea slapping Penny?

Suzanne, Bill and Susan, Peggy McCay - all legends. I'd watch a show just about them and it would surely be more entertaining than anything on daytime now!!!

Why did Mike Bauer never come back? Surely they could have cast a strong daytime figure in the role if Don Stewart didn't want to come back.

Wow, I never knew that. I'd love to see Fran Brill and Frances Fisher squaring off!!!

Thank you, safe, for posting those FF episodes. When I wrote to Kelli Maroney and sent a photo for her to autograph, I picked a screen cap of her on FF!! I remember watching one FF where it was RH against GH (I think it was GH, it might have been OLTL, it's been a long time and I don't even know if it is still up on YT). Anyway, I remember howling when Helen Gallagher came out in what was known as the infamous "mauve" dress - the one Maeve wore for EVERY dress-up occasion. I wish someone would put together an entire DVD set of just the soap opera stars on FF, from the Dawson and Combs eras. There was the Valentine's Week with the stars from AMC and GH from 1982, the Saints vs. Sinners, OLTL vs. GH (in what I believe was the first soap opera FF - Ellen Holly was even on!!!), I could go on and on. By the way, safe, I love your Chiffon avatar!!!

What a nice picture. I was struck by the fact that even though she was only in a handful of TD episodes, Florence Williams just seemed to fit in seamlessly.

Not to mention that those episodes were still B&W - which made them creepier!!!

What are the odds? LOL

Thanks. That's surprising, as they were both on the same network and both owned by P&G. I think the Hughes family and Bauer family would've gotten along great.

Robin Mattson is a very fine actress, but she just wasn't Delia. Ilene Kristen is the definitive Delia to me (in the SOAPNet reruns). I did see both the short-lived Robyn Millan (a casting mistake that was quickly rectified) and Randall Edwards (but not enough for me to have much of an opinion). Thankfully, all turned out for the best as Ilene later returned to RH for the rest of the show's run, and Robin landed one of her best roles - Gina on SB.
