Yeah, she quit while the going was still somewhat good. Still, I wonder how she would have done playing the alters. I think Erin would've made it work. What do you all think?

Holy cow, what was up with Diana's hair in that clip? It looks like a clown wig - except without with the rainbow colors. I know this was the 80s - but geesh!!!

Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing that clip! Whoa - you'd never see a man slapping a woman on TV now, even if the man and woman in question are siblings.

May he RIP...that makes him the second Capitol actor to pass on this year (Dane Witherspoon passed on at the end of March).

I'd love to read Sharon Farrell's book. Thanks for the heads up.

Which season did he slap her? What did she do to provoke him? (Sorry, I'm not very familiar with KL past the first couple of seasons.) Sid's oldest child, from his first marriage, meanwhile (the one played by Karen Allen in the pilot) is on the Island of Misfit TV Characters along with Chuck Cunningham, Judy Winslow, Carl Dixon, etc....

Eric was the one married to Linda, right? She had an affair with Michael while wed to his brother? Or was it the other way around?

Yeah, you could count them as Fairgates. When I said three, I meant Karen and Sid's kids. With the exception of Brian, the other characters were never recast, were they? I don't think they recast after Steve Shaw's tragic passing but did they ever say what happened to Eric in the storyline?

For all of you out there, which of the three Fairgate kids did you like the most?

That figures.

Never knew Lipton wrote EON. I'm guessing that was pre-Henry Slesar?

I don't know, but I do recall that the Rachel/Alice/Liz scene at the house with Alice getting ready to attack Rachel was on YT at one time, but that was several years ago. I'd love to see it again, too.

Oh, the next episode (8/20) features Martha Wash.

Mrs. Therese Lamonte was played by the late, great Nancy Marchand - pre-Lou Grant and pre-Sopranos.

Hey, does anyone remember a character named Carol Lamonte from the mid-70s? She worked for (and at one point had an affair with) architect Robert Delaney (Nicolas Coster). I came across an old clipping somewhere and it turns out the actress who played her, Jeanne Lange, was married to David Haskell. He may be best known in general for his work in both the stage and screen adaptations of Godspell, but is best known to soap fans as Nick Hartley on SB from 1985-86. Ironically, one of Mr. Haskell's SB co-stars was Nicolas Coster, who of course played Lionel Lockridge on that show. I was unable to find out if they were still married at the time of his passing in August 2000. Their only child, Alexandrea Haskell-Young, grew up to become an entertainment attorney in the LA area.

I heard that. No wonder the show tanked. (Though to be fair, Capitol never really had great ratings throughout its 5-year run, did it?)

I too loved Amanda and Cameron together. Sandra Ferguson and Michael Rodrick were incredible together. I read in the AW Trivia Book that John Littlefield was originally cast as Cameron in 1998, but then Tim Gibbs abruptly jumped ship to OLTL and JL was recast as Gary instead. I also recall reading in SOD in the spring of 1999 that Gary was going to be written out, but then the show was cancelled and they kept him to the end.

It's definitely a juicy one!!

Yeah, they paired up just as the show was winding down, so there really wasn't any outcry or protests that I can recall. Maybe if the show had gone on, there would have been.

Patti D's L&O episode was from Season 3 and is entitled "Wedded Bliss". If you get a chance to see it, do so. The late Larry Keith of AMC fame guested in the same episode as a defense attorney.

Yeah, I looked back on your post and I did indeed overlook it. I stand corrected. Good catch.

Thanks for sharing. She looks pretty much the same as she did in her RH days.

Did anyone see the episode about The Emotions last night? I knew that they worked closely with EWF but had no idea that one of the Hutchinson sisters had an affair (and a love child) with Philip Bailey. WOW.

God rest him. In the past few days, we've lost Charles Keating, Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall and now Ed Nelson. Then, of course, there was the tragedy at the speedway in New York when Tony Stewart struck and killed one of the other competitors in the race. So, so sad.
