Okay, so I've never watched ATWT but thought it might be nice to post this in here. (Sorry if this is inappropriate.) I know the actor Michael Forest was on the show back in the early 1980s, playing a character named Nick Andropoulos. (I mostly know him from prime time guest spots like Star Trek, The Twilight Zone and just from seeing him in the soap mags.) He lost his wife a few years back and now resides in a retirement home. He reprised his ST character, Apollo, in the fan-based Star Trek Continues over a decade ago, and the starring actor, Vic Mignogna, has set up an email account for one week for people to write messages or letters of thanks for Michael to help lift his spirits for the holidays. The email is [email protected] and the deadline is next Tuesday, 12/16. Below is the message Vic posted on FB: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1544098210142357 Again, sorry if this is inappropriate to post here but I thought that there might be some viewers that remember him on the show and might like to participate.

From interviews I've seen, she would have happily continued on MI; she was collateral damage, so to speak, of Landau's contract dispute. I think with Space:1999, what started out with hope ended up with frustration and dissatisfaction from both actors. She was nicknamed "Barbara Pain" by some. She also apparently felt threatened by Catherine Schell (Maya) who had to dye her blonde hair red and was, per BB's stipulation, to never appear onscreen just looking like herself.

Barbara Bain won 3 Emmys for her work on Mission: Impossible. Another 6 years went by before she was a series regular again, with Space: 1999. That was a mixed bag, to say the least. After that, I don't think she was ever a series regular again. Funny how her only 2 series were with her husband, Martin Landau. The likeable Bill Bixby fared pretty decently with series: My Favorite Martian, The Courtship of Eddie's Father and The Incredible Hulk were all solid hits, although The Magician and Goodnight, Beantown didn't fare as well.

For someone who's had the success Jonathan's had outside the soap genre, and in the juggernaut of the Star Trek universe no less with all of the attention, fandom and opportunities that brings, it's so cool that he still will do things like this podcast and the "The Doctors" cast interviews.

I haven't watched GH in a long time so my memories of Tristan on the show are from the 80s and 90s, especially the 80s, when he first came on and then, after L & L left and Scorpio (and friends) became the focus of the show. So sad.

AMC: The murder mystery of Eddie Dorrance, Chuck & Donna. This was my first time watching any soap. OLTL: Viki living in the carriage house, Ted Clayton sniffing after her, Tina & Johnny Drummond GH: I caught the Luke & Laura phenom just in time. The first episode I saw was the one where Scotty fights Luke on Frank Smith's yacht, sending him overboard and starting their first on-the-run story. RH: The original Joe & Siobhan, Jack being a widower with a toddler EON: Gavin's dance studio, Sky & Martine GL: I followed Larkin Malloy there so it would be the arrival of Kyle Sampson, John Bolger was the first Phillip I saw But, actually, before all those, I was imprinted as a toddler, thanks to my mother watching AW, with the sound of Douglass Watson's voice saying "Rachel" and the image of the NBC peacock.
