I look forward to seeing these new characters.

Is there any more romantic place to have a tryst than a treehouse? They couldn't even spring for a hotel??

Did Susan Lucci and Karen Gorney have a lot of scenes together? How did they play off each other? I know that when the show was casting the parts, they had originally auditioned for each other's roles.

I never thought of Tracy Scoggins as a Fallon recast, but she had the look and the ferocious screen presence that PSM projected in the role. Good catch.

Interesting! Didn't Lisa Peluso also do one of those reading PSAs when she was on Loving?

In profile, she looks a bit like Eileen Fulton!! From OLTL, here is Judith Light reuniting with her Who's the Boss? leading man, Tony Danza. It was at a Broadway event this past week (10/23). Here is the article and photo: https://celebrity.yahoo.com/news/whos-boss-stars-tony-danza-judith-light-reunite-154500114-us-weekly.html

Was it Terry's Jack who coined the phrase "The Mustache", or was it Peter's?

Split season DVDs are one of the STUPIDEST ideas ever!!!

The Yanni comment just has me ROFL!!!!

I can see all of them waiting in line with baseball bats, wrenches, boxing gloves, etc., just like one of my favorite scenes in Airplane!! LOL Seriously, of course, at the top of the list of suspects would be Nick. Whatever he dished out on John Rice would be a million times worse for Mr. Bunker!!! Here's another TD anecdote from Inside the Soaps: An established actor on The Doctors for a single day's work, playing a visiting doctor, had a big scene with Dr. Matt Powers (James Pritchett). The actor blanked out and Pritchett began to repeat the other actor's lines and then ask, "Isn't that true?" The actor stumbled through the scene, unable to recall a single line. Then, when the scene was finally over, he rushed out of the studio, walked out of the NBC building...and never came back.

Thanks!!

Even though he was so often overshadowed by that firecracker Kim Zimmer, I don't think Robert Newman ever got enough credit for his portrayal of Josh. I think his low-key approach meshed very well with her super energy - and when he was given decent material he always ran with it. Too bad most of the stories he was given in the last years were turkeys, but then we can say that for most of the vets.

LOL at the Publisher's Clearinghouse comment. It would have been great - even greater if they had gotten Dick Clark and Ed McMahon to cameo!!

Some of those commercials sure haven't dated well, have they? Yikes!!

First off, I LOVED Maggie's gown - the light green Grecian design is so similar to some of the gowns Elizabeth Montgomery wore on Bewitched, which of course was also still going strong in 1968. What a happy dinner party, huh? I've had dates more comfortable than that (which isn't saying much, LOL). It's interesting in light of what happens in future story, too. Thankfully Maggie has confronted Matt about Karen's designs on him, which are so blatantly obvious to everyone except him. It's well past time someone did. I also like that the wife is clearly aware of what is going on, which of course would not be the case on a soap today. One-way phone calls from Althea and Liz. Liz still doesn't know that Althea is no longer pregnant, and Althea knows nothing about Liz running off. I hope both will come back on-screen soon!!! The canvas isn't nearly as interesting without them - especially that force of nature known as Liz Hubbard.

From the 1984 book Inside the Soaps by Paul Denis: Often, actors who are "heavy" on a soap (being used three or four times a week) become so confused learning and then forgetting their lines, that they get foggy even away from the TV studio. Jason Bonderoff, editor of Daytime TV magazine, recalls the story about David O'Brien (who played Dr. Steve Aldrich on The Doctors) walking down Eighth Avenue in New York and being stopped by a stranger. The stranger cornered him, held him and complained, "Hey, David, don't you remember me?" David couldn't remember him at all. The "stranger" was his agent!!

The lovely Mary Stuart, may she RIP.

Not one of her finer moments.

Avatar610, thank you for confirming that. Carl, I agree about the hairstyle. Awful!!

Besides waiting for Maggie to read Karen the riot act, I'm also waiting for her husband to wake up and get a clue. Snap out of it, Matt!! The board member with the curly gray hair and horn-rimmed glasses kind of reminds me of Orville Redenbacher.

I didn't even know she HAD a famous cousin, let alone one who was on a soap.

God bless him. He gave so much to the genre - and P&G just stepped on him.

Was Mrs. Banning still around when Mike Farrell took over as Scott Banning? I know he was in the role when Scott married Julie.

That was the beginning of the end of SB. It was never the same without Marcy and then A.

For those of you who loved Nick Bellini's confrontation of Karen Werner yesterday - you're in for a treat today. He digs in even deeper!! It's awesome!! Even more awesome, he puts himself out on the line to clear Matt of the problems with that meanie Nathan. It's really great and genuine. I think I am starting to like Nick more. Still, I can't wait for both Althea and Liz to get back so the fireworks can really start!!
