NICE!!!

Maybe not, but did we ever see RR clean-shaven? For some reason, the celebrity that Terry Lester most resembled (at least to me) was John Tesh.

At least she hasn't gone the plastic surgery/Botox route. She looks very natural and very beautiful.

I know what you mean. I hated when they broke up Luis and Sheridan for good and put them with other people at the end of the show (and McKenzie Westmore did, too, when someone asked her about it on Twitter). I wasn't even watching when the Vincent story and Julian's, ahem, was cut off and reattached upside down or whatever it was - the show was no longer on NBC then and was on DirecTV, which I didn't have. I did however subscribe to SOD and read all about it - and even READING it gave me the willies. Interestingly, several years after the show ceased production for good, Tracey Ross (Eve) friended me on FB and I asked her how she felt playing that story. She said it made her VERY uncomfortable but she tried to do the best she could with it. On the upside, she enjoyed the scenes where she got to sing - but said that it is her son Bryce who really has the pipes in the family. She is a sweetheart.

I remember a 1997 SOD interview with Laura Wright (I believe right after she joined GL) where she said the show's producers would come to her when they wanted to show flashbacks. She had a photographic memory with dates, so they would go to her to ask when such-and-such episode aired so they could find the tape!!!

I read that James Pritchett, best known for his role as Dr. Matt Powers on The Doctors, had a short-term role on AMC in 1989 as a character named Bill Anderson. I've looked on YT to try to find him but to no avail so far. Who was the character and what was his arc? Who did he interact with?

I just heard the news. God rest her.

Yeah. Have you ever read Kim Zimmer's bio? She goes into quite a bit of her TD days in there, and when they worked on Body Heat together, she thanked Kathleen Turner for leaving the role of Nola for her to take over.

Thank you, Carl - I look forward to seeing that commercial again. It also gave me a chuckle because Althea was known for making terrible coffee. LOL

Great article, thanks for sharing.

He really did a great job with those clips. I love it when actors save the tapes and then upload them (or when their children do, such as the case of Ann Williams).

Good news - my friend is uploading all the EON episodes he has from 1982 to 1984, and he has a boatload of them. PM me if you want the link to his channel (you can never be too careful).

P.S. Maureen Mooney (Anne Jeffers) of GL was also in that commercial with La Liz, if that helps any.

Did any other contestants from the "Soap Star" show get contract roles, or were they merely extras and under-fives?

Question: Is anyone able to find Liz Hubbard's Brim coffee commercial circa 1981? Carl posted an AMC episode that had that commercial in it (on page 90 of this thread) but it has since been taken off YT, dagnabit!!! I'd love to see it again if anyone can find it - I've tried and so far have come up empty. Thanks!!

Thanks for the thoughtful answers, everyone. Slesar/Nicholson had to be the longest-running HW/EP team in soap history, right? They had several years on AW's Lemay/Rauch.

How about their impromptu dance? Then of course, Nick comes in and interrupts the fun. LOL

If Henry Slesar had remained headwriter, do you think it would have made any difference in the show's ultimate fate?

Such sad news. Earlier this month, he and Louise Shaffer celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary.

Ahhhh....thanks.

Not only was Sherry Mathis beautiful, a wonderful singer, and the longest-running - if not definitive - Liza, she could also deliver the snark when necessary. Check out this 1982 scene:

I'm so sorry to hear that. Louise had been mentioning on FB for some time that he had been ill. They were married for 35 years. God bless them.

OK, thanks. How did the character get the nickname "Rocky"?

Where are you now in your viewing, Applcin? You've got to be pretty close to being caught up by now, if you're not already.

Thanks - did she go straight to GH from there?
