Was Erin still going with David Fumero when she left? I know they had an on-again/off-again thing going for a couple of years.

That's what I'd call coming full circle!!!

Thanks. He also appeared on Oprah in a segment of Erica's many men a couple of years ago. That was fun.

I don't know about everyone else, but I was sure scratching my head at the pairing of Antonio and Jessica. I don't think they would have done that pairing had Erin stayed.

How long was Charles Frank on AMC? I know he was an original cast member, but I don't know how many years he was on. Did anyone ever see him on the short-lived Emerald Point NAS? (That was a primetime soap set on a Naval base that aspired to be, I think, what Army Wives would become years later.) Other actors on that show included Susan Dey, Richard Dean Anderson and a pre-Santa Barbara Richard Eden.

Thank you, Vee. I think that Torpey and Archer had a very interesting dynamic and it would have been fun to see it continue. She did good work opposite Ilene Kristen as well. As it's been said here before, Torpey had the good sense to bail while the going was still somewhat good.

That's a bummer. The show probably could have gotten many more years' worth of mileage out of Bridget. Who created the character of Bridget? That I don't know.

Kathryn Hays could really spew the venom when the scene called for it. Too bad they didn't utilize that part of Kim that much as the years went by.

Do you guys think Melissa Archer/Natalie would have still emerged as the show's young sweetheart/ingénue had Erin Torpey chosen not to leave?

Awww, that's cute.

Leanna Love = Love!! Easily the best of all Barbara Crampton's soap characters.

It looks like he wants to do more than fetch a pail of water. *rimshot* Sorry, I couldn't resist!!!! LOL

Thanks! I am really enjoying all these clips!!

Melissa Hayden did come back briefly before the show ended, right? What was Bridget's arc then?

Why was Bridget written out? Was it Melissa Hayden's choice to leave after she won an Emmy? Didn't she come back briefly before the show ended?

That hair!! Those dresses!! I miss the 80s!!

That sounds about right - thanks.

Yeah, you'd think there'd be looting and all that after the flood. That would have made an interesting subplot.

Like I said before, I liked him a lot in the role and thought he and Nathan Fillion really did look and sound alike enough to pass for brothers.

Great clip - thanks for posting it.

Yes - thank you!! I know that prior to AMC, Mrs. Gabriel appeared a few times on her husband John's show (RH).

How long did the strike of 1988 last?

LOL!! Thanks.

I love these clips from yesteryear. They show just how good the medium was - and was meant to be.

Yeah, I read that Mary Stuart didn't think it would be realistic for Jo to suddenly pine for Stu after all their years as best (platonic) friends, so she chose to play the jealous angle as a fear that the new lady in Stu's life would monopolize all his time and that she'd lose him as a friend. I thought that was a smart (and believable) way to do it. That is indeed Anita Gillette.
