Thanks. Did he have any other acting roles?

Gee, how many women had the hots for both father and son (Asa and Bo)? Of course, Bo and Clint shared women as well (most notably Nora and Lindsay). Asa and Clint didn't have any mutual love interests, did they?

I've seen so very little of Joan Copeland's SFT work, but it seems hard to imagine anyone else in that role but her. Is she retired now? The last I saw of her was in a recurring role as a judge on the original L&O, but that was years ago.

I concur - I think that ship has sailed. Great to see Susan Lucci and Walt Willey reunited, though.

Who created the role of Dusty? Was it the Dobsons?

Did Terry Kiser do any soaps after this?

Yup, and ironically Emma was the first AW role that Beverlee McKinsey played.

Both of today's episodes were Ruth-centric. Poor lady, having to put up with that husband of hers. I like how subtle the show has made it clear that theirs has been an abusive relationship - mostly psychologically abusive (ironic, isn't it?), though we did see Bill slap Ruth in his office at one point when she went into hysterics. Ann Whiteside's acting and facial expressions clearly conveyed how beaten and broken Ruth was emotionally - especially her eyes. On another note, does Karen Werner have the worst bedside manner of any TV doctor in history or what? I'm surprised none of the patients have complained! Can't you just hear her now? "You have cancer, huh? Walk it off! SCHNELL!!!"

The same guy who became a writer for AW?

Thoughts from today's episodes: - Let us all be grateful that Karen Werner was not there at the hotel when Liz was on the ledge. - LOVED Maggie's dressing down to Karen. Yes, Karen is definitely lacking in the tact department!!! GO MAGGIE!!! - That Nathan Bunker is just like a fungus that won't stop growing! - The heart-to-hearts between Liz, Matt and Maggie, and Maggie and Althea were very heart-warming and shed light on both insecurities and strengths. - It's great that Liz is once again moving in with Carolee.

I don't know how recent this is, but here is some info on Pam Toll from a website of a film called "Alternate Routes", which she co-wrote. Here is the bio: PAMELA TOLL (Writer) is a native New Yorker who began a thirty-five year professional acting career at the age of seven. She grew up working with some of the finest directors and actors of the time. Ms. Toll co-starred and starred in roles on Broadway, on television and in film, regularly commuting between NY and LA. Looking for new outlets, Pam became an Artistic Design Consultant with the Leonard Bernstein Center for Education through the Arts. In the fine arts, her mosaic works can be found in stores from California to New York to North Carolina. In addition to co-authoring ALTERNATE ROUTES, Pamela has another script in progress. The most recent challenge she has set for herself is the development of a workshop on artistic creativity. If you click on the link and scroll down, you will see a picture of her. You can tell right away that it's the same girl!!! http://happenstanceproductions.com/altroutemovie/bios.htm

Well, Beverlee McKinsey was quoted in the AW 35th Anniversary Book as saying that she never, ever got any fan backlash from playing Iris. She said that the fans would say things to her along the lines of, "well, if I was rich like Iris, I would probably do some of those things too". Ms. McKinsey did go on to say that she got awful, awful letters when she played Alexandra Spaulding at the height of that character's villainy. So, there's one example of a female playing the villainess and not getting any pushback.

VI did work with JFP on SB before he returned to GL as Nick and she took over as EP...so who knows? But it wouldn't surprise me.

Pam Toll left TD for a brief period to film the Disney movie, Rascal, with Steve Forrest and Billy Mumy. The movie was released in 1969.

With Julianne Morris' return to Y&R as Amy after nearly 20 years, does anyone have any vintage articles of her from her first go-round on the show? I'm not familiar with her Y&R work, though I did catch almost her entire run on DAYS later on. On another note, knowing all we know now, I'm REALLY glad she never married Eddie Cibrian - though I bet no one is gladder than her!!

Speaking of live-on-tape gaffes, did anyone catch what Terry Kiser said in the argument John had with Liz about Nick? The line was supposed to be "sacrificial lamb", and instead Terry Kiser said "artificial lamb".

I know - must have been something in the water before they moved to Peapack!!!!

I think the Paris story had wrapped or was about to wrap by then. I think this was just about when Roscoe Born came on as Robert Barr.

Carl, I like the way you think. ROFL!!

I thought Julie Osburn only agreed to stay for a short time, so that might be why Kathleen never got out of Cass' orbit. One of my former supervisors, years ago, was pregnant with her first child when she started watching soaps. She first heard the name Kelsey from watching AW and chose that for her newborn daughter.

Very cool. Interesting shows to be paired up. Can you imagine Barnabas Collins on the news staff at WJM? Mary being a governess to the Collins/Stoddard family? LOL

20+ years later and Melina's barely aged!!

I've never seen that interview before. Thanks!!

Poor Maggie - first she has to deal with Karen Werner, and now the Althea/Nick/Liz saga is heating up again under her roof. The first of tomorrow's episodes aired on Friday, February 9 - so that should be some cliffhanger!!

Does anyone know how long Robert Cobert's theme song was used? I know TD used several themes from the late 70s to the end of the show in 1982.
