EMERALD is up in its entirety on YT (at least the last time I checked, it only lasted for one season), and really had a top-notch cast. Charles Frank, Andrew Stevens, Susan Dey, Richard Dean Anderson, Richard Eden...I think the show strived to be what ARMY WIVES would become years later.

It's probably a good thing the show ended before little Krystina entered the dating pool. With her screwed-up family, she already had the odds stacked against her for finding (not to mention BEING) a healthy romantic partner.

I was watching some of the recent clips posted to the GL board of the whole Morgan/Kelly/Nola/Floyd story, and it occurred to me how much this actress playing Nola looked just like Martha Byrne. That's how into the story I was - I know Lisa Brown would go on to play the bio mom of Martha Byrne's Lily on ATWT. No wonder Doug Marland wrote Iva and Lily as being mother and daughter - and had to do some major revisions to not make Lily and Holden related by blood!!!

I wasn't watching the show then, but how did he come across as a member of the Martin family? Did he have a believable rapport with Ray MacDonnell, Michael E. Knight, etc.?

Not the first time around, LOL. Their pairing began when I was 5 and ended when I was 7. I found them years later on YouTube, after I discovered SB as an adult laid up with a dislocated knee.

Here is the then 11-year-old Justin Gocke winning the 1989 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Juvenile Male (as the Younger Actor award was called then):

I guess Aaron Spelling liked Jack Coleman enough to cast him again, in the short-lived Savannah. Was he any good in that?

I also want to see AW coming up next!! I love how Retro TV left that in. Fashions from Ohrbach's - who would have guessed it? Ohrbach's and Botany 500 - they must have singlehandedly clothed TV shows back in those days. LOL

Thank you, Carl.

Was John James always the first choice to play Jeff Martin when the role was revived? I wonder if Charles Frank was ever asked to come back.

Heather Locklear, despite all the personal problems she's dealt with the past couple of years, seems to be the ultimate show-biz pro - the opposite of her characters Sammy Jo and Amanda. It seems she leaves everything else at the door and is ready to get to work.

That's sweet.

LOL!! I'm kind of sorry now that I didn't!!

Wow - I never knew that about Kay Alden. Thanks for posting that 48 Hours episode - very informative.

I'm joining the line of those who would like the link! You can PM it to me. Thanks!!!

Ahhhh, the good old days of network MOW!!!! The ones Susan Lucci made always seemed to do very well in the ratings, too.

No, I wasn't watching the show then. I wasn't allowed to watch soaps until I was in my teens. I like learning of the history of the soaps through the eyes of the fans.

Speaking of John Dixon, how long did it take him to get over Kim? I know that while she didn't marry him for love, he was in fact in love with her.

True story: when I was in high school, we had to watch one of those old Afterschool Specials in health class. Al Corley played the brother of the main character, a teenage girl who became addicted to the bottle. It took all I had not to scream out in class, "That's Steven Carrington!" LOL!!!

The good old days when soaps really WERE about romance!!!!

Al Corley? Yes, he held up pretty well.

Thank you, sungrey. I'm just glad that they didn't just dump Maeve for a younger model.

Wait till later on, when they spoof the then-current Clinton/Lewinsky scandal (which involved Meg's sister).

Yes, Wendy, I'm so happy you're back!!!

Henry Simmons (Tyrone Montgomery, 1997-99) was a guest on last night's episode of SVU.
