Ahhh, I see. Thanks.

jam6242, I've been looking for a media report myself but so far have turned up nothing. We Love Soaps, SOD's website, etc., so far nothing. Not that I don't believe Ms. Coppola, but you know what I mean.

I know much has been made of the Susan Lucci/Sarah Michelle Gellar feud over the years, but has SMG ever talked publicly about Frances Heflin and how it was like to work with her?

Not that I know of.

LOL!!! I love that analogy.

How long had JFP been at the helm before Bev McKinsey walked?

Does anyone know why Peter Bergman left AMC for a time, leaving his grieving "widow" Nina to turn to Matt Connolly for comfort?

It was a truly sad episode - the paralysis of one member, the death of Tony Thompson, and now the recent arrest of yet another member in the stabbing (who was interviewed for the special prior to the tragedy). Major props to the surviving members who are soldiering on.

I didn't see the news mentioned here, so I'll post congrats to Kate Mulgrew for her recent Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Orange is the New Black.

Actually, I stand corrected. Tonight's new episode was Hi-Five. I think The Emotions are next week, if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks again, everyone. I have loved reading your insights. In the midst of all that drama, poor Alfred still couldn't find anyone!! LOL

That would be an interesting casting move - especially since Judith McConnell and Missy Reeves (Jennifer) were co-stars the first year of SB, although I don't think they were in any scenes together (or if they were, they were big group scenes). They do certainly look enough alike to pass for mother and daughter.

It's a shame that Judith McConnell never had another substantial soap role after SB folded. She's still acting in commercials and such (she's the lady getting the pedicure in a recent Walgreen's ad), but is one of the most underrated performers in the genre.

I don't know if he qualifies as "unsung", but I'd love to see an episode about Peabo Bryson. Same with Jeffrey Osborne/LTD.

Were Adam and Tom the only men Erica and Brooke had in common?

No, she was eventually paroled, I think. That's how the character was written out of the show.

Did you guys like Tom better with Erica or Brooke?

That's quite a list! I remember Pam Long saying in a Brandon's Buzz interview that she would hire writers who had been soap actors because of their first-hand knowledge and experience in the genre.

No, by the time Phil was finally killed off, Martin West was playing the role. And yes, that was indeed Judith McConnell, best known to us SB fans as Sophia Capwell, playing Nurse Augusta McLeod.

They could always bring back Jed Allan as Don Craig (who was also one of Julie's suitors back in the day), who was Donna's father. He could complicate things between Doc and John. Donna could be wealthy and buy Salem Place or something. On top of all that, we would finally have closure to why Don never came back after mailing that letter. Rumor has it that Don moved to Santa Barbara, CA, and changed his name to CC Capwell. He was the patriarch of an extremely screwed-up family.

I read that Augusta did indeed deliver Phil Brewer's child when she was in prison and the boy was adopted out. He also had a son (named Tracy) with Diana Maynard. They had become close while Phil was presumed dead, had amnesia, and was using an alias. He learned the truth, and seeing as he was still legally married to Jessie, went back to his wife. Diana had learned she was pregnant and married Dr. Peter Taylor to give her baby a name, but soon their marriage of convenience became a marriage of love. Anyway, baby Tracy was born in 1971 and died shortly after birth from pneumonia. After baby Tracy's death, Phil went berserk and forced himself on Diana, resulting in baby Martha. (Diana never told Peter that Phil was the father, and when the truth came out, they were estranged for awhile.) Eventually, Peter and Diana reconciled and he adopted Martha. Martha was indeed a casualty of the hurricane that hit Port Charles in September 1977. Diana's mother was driving to an emergency shelter and lost control of her car. The grandmother survived, but little Martha succumbed to her injuries. (I found all this out on the GH wikia, by the way.)

Maybe you could look on eBay - that place is a plethora for finding vintage photos.

Thank you both for your observations!! At least both "Travis" and "Mike" reunited with "Erica" on Oprah years later, when Susan Lucci and "All Her Husbands" appeared on an episode.

Those are nice!! CuzIsaySo, Jessie and Phil did have a baby girl, Nancy, who died in infancy. I think he got another woman pregnant at some point but she miscarried.

So I take it you thought Erica was with the wrong Montgomery brother.
