Seeing JLB in these scenes and watching her stint on DAYS years later (which I believe spanned 1993-99 and 2010), it's like watching two completely different actresses. Her Lorie was such a mover and a shaker, and wasn't afraid to use both her brains AND her body to her advantage. Her Laura on DAYS was such a drugged-out victim. Not that I'm blaming her (I blame JER and his writing staff), but DAYS just didn't play to her strengths. They could've done so much with JLB and wasted her instead.

Well, David did have a richer character history than Ivan, but it largely went wasted.

Jamie was married to both Cecile and Blaine. Rachel couldn't stand either of them. I agree about Laura Malone - one of the great underrated actresses in the history of soap.

Thank you very much!! Rod Arrants did two fairly recent "Where Are They Now?" interviews with SOD, the first in July 2008 and the other in February 2010. Do you have any SODs that recent? One of the periods of SFT I would most like to see is 1978 where Sherry Mathis first came on and the time she shared with Michael Nouri, Anne Wyndham and Joel Higgins briefly overlapped before that trio left the show the same year. Which month in 1978 did Sherry make her SFT debut, and which month did the other three leave? Thanks again!!!!

Not to mention her GH role as the second Tammy, the hooker turned proprietor of Kelly's after Ruby's passing - though I liked the first actress better in the part.

Carl, would you by any chance have Rod Arrants' interview with TV Guide from August 1979 in your collection? Any interviews/articles you would have on him and/or Sherry Mathis, or the love story of Liza and Travis that you may have and are willing to post would be greatly appreciated!!

No matter how many writers/producers there were, the Bob/Susan affair was never forgotten, Kim never forgot it, and therefore the audience never forgot it. At least that was ONE point of continuity that went on until the end.

Those scenes between Beverlee McKinsey and Vincent Irizarry are pure gold. No wonder to this day he sings her praises and credits her with helping him grow as an actor.

Besides, that's a candid taken at the beach - not a photo shoot. She looks perfectly natural and healthy for her age.

Kim and Susan remained enemies right to the end, if I'm not mistaken.

5 years already. Where does the time go?

Thank you, Carl! I especially love watching soap episodes from the 70s. It really does feel like a bygone era.

I'm sorry, Carl, I meant what year was the episode you posted with Kim, Bob, Jay, Carol, etc.?

That makes sense, because that's when the Conboy-helmed Capitol debuted.

Yeah, I was just going to mention Liza/Travis - and the pairing of Liza and her first husband, Steve (Michael Nouri) was also extremely popular.

Thank you so much for posting these, Carl. How I wish I could actually see these storylines, especially the earliest days of the Liza/Travis romance. I wonder if ANYONE has them available.

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like a lot longer than 4 years. Then tomorrow marks 5 years since GL last aired.

At least Beverlee cared about the integrity of her character, as did the fans. Too bad the writers/producers/P&G/CBS didn't feel the same way.

She needed a mature man, and while David was good for a sidekick role (think Vivian and Ivan on DAYS) - I don't think a real romance was plausible in the long run.

Carl, what year was that vintage episode from that you just posted?

Thank you, ellabelle.

Definitely - hasn't changed a bit.

I don't know, but how long did Trevor and KC's Janet last as a couple before she left the show?

I wonder if Joseph C. Phillips was ever approached about coming back. He just had such presence and strength, even when Justus was doing some pretty unethical things.

Some stories (and characters) are best left in the past - where people like RC can't ruin them!!
