Thank you. I wonder whatever happened to Vicky Dawson. She went from L&F/FR, FP to AW to ATWT, and it seems like she completely vanished.

A woman being stripped of her dignity to prop Victor? NO!!!!!

Thank you. Did any other soaps tape at 30 Rock? The last program I know of that filmed there was that short-lived primetime news show with Brian Williams - he said that they had found pieces of sets left over from TD.

Was Mary Lynn Blanks on ATWT before or after playing Tara on AMC?

I went back and looked up a SFT synopsis from around this time. The reason why Liza is depressed but also in denial is because she was just recently told by a doctor that she is infertile. (Of course, we know that means nothing in soaps and Liza later had a successful pregnancy in 1983 - resulting in the birth of her son with Travis, Tourneur.)

Good news!! The wonderful saynotoursoap posted this back in August and I don't know how it escaped our notices until now. Here is the scene from 1974 - the infamous scene of Alice vs. Rachel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeZa_erR6dg&list=UUGxJeDjZ65VEz81qzAubTJA

Thanks - I'll have to check it out one of these days.

Did TD spend their entire run at 30 Rock?

Thank you, danfling.

Thanks for clarifying about Darryl and Frannie.

The Corringtons had co-created Texas, which debuted only a few weeks after this episode (August 4, 1980), so they would have been gone by then. I believe Gabrielle Upton had taken over as HW at that time. Oh, Carl, I looked up the lyrics of the song Liza sang to Travis. It is indeed a show tune - "Come to Me, Bend to Me" from Brigadoon.

Hmmm. Did Bill Foster Sr. pass away before or after Jennifer Brooks?

I'm not familiar with the song. I don't know if Patsy Pease shared any scenes with John Aniston, but she has said in interviews that she certainly felt comfortable with him when they started working together on DAYS because they had already known each other for several years in New York on SFT.

Yup, and she's the most famous alum of my dad's alma mater, Bedford High School in Bedford, OH. (Though she graduated 20 years after he did, LOL.)

Maggie did refer to Matt as "my husband" a couple of times in these eps, so I guess they were wed by this point. I didn't think they wed until Lydia Bruce took over the role as Maggie, but it looks like I was proved wrong.

Having watched eps of TD, EON and SFT in a stretch, I have to agree about the 30-minute format as well. They make every minute count and pack in lots of good stuff. It's sweet and also melancholy to see Sherry Mathis and Nikki Goulet sharing the screen. May God rest both of them. I absolutely loved hearing Sherry singing and playing piano (and WHY did no one ever cut a full album with her???). Finding ANY footage of her singing is rare indeed. Liza and Travis were such a great couple, and it probably didn't hurt that Sherry was close friends with Rod Arrants and remained so until she passed away. Also great to see Mary Stuart, Maree Cheatham, Lisa Peluso and Patsy Pease all in this episode!!! What a treasure!! Thanks to saynotoursoap and Carl for posting the episode and alerting us to its existence!!!

I don't know, but had he lived, Jon-Erik might have made an interesting Miles Colby on The Colbys (with all due respect to Maxwell Caulfield).

Those were the golden years!!!

Yes, cassadine1991, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!!

Oh, he would have fit in perfectly as a poor little rich boy on the show. You're right - I didn't even think of Joan Collins being Steven's mother when I mentioned the male model movie. Yeah, that probably would have squicked people out. LOL

Me three!!!!

Was that Y&R's first murder trial?

That's an interesting concept. He had guested on another Spelling show (Hotel, as a love interest for Emma Samms, no less) and worked with Joan Collins on the male model TV movie, but I think both of those occurred after Jack Coleman had already been cast as Steven. Maybe if he had been given a role on Dynasty - any role - he wouldn't have gone anywhere near a prop gun. Can you believe later this month marks 30 years since the freak accident that took JEH's life? Wow.

When was he on ATWT the first time?

Of course! Isn't that the way it always works? Or maybe RetroTV has employees following this board. Boo hiss!!!!
