Thank you! We gave up hope of ever seeing this.

He left late ‘81, returned mid ‘82. Coincidentally, Chris was off-screen during his brother Jake’s reign of terror as the Salem Strangler.

Thank you!

Apologies if this has already been discussed but I haven’t visited this thread in awhile. It’s the 40th anniversary of the debut of 227, and saw a mention of Jackee’s stint on Another World as Lily Mason from ‘83-86. Does anyone remember her time on the show? What was her story? Was she a sporadic recurring character, or more of a constant presence, on contract? Was she really on until ‘86? I think 227 started filming in summer ‘85 in LA, and AW filmed in NYC.

Thanks so much!!

A few years ago, someone posted her a SOD profile of Brenda Dickson circa Oct ‘83 after her return. I neglected to save the pages posted. If the person sees this, could you repost? Thank you so much

Did we ever determine when Victor and Cricket first exchanged dialogue?

A rare exception was Mary-Frances Sumner, who was brought back for 1 episode to be promptly assassinated.

Ah yes I found the quote “The job was supposed to go longer but the actors strike stopped production and shortened the length of the season, so my part got truncated’ https://www.tvinsider.com/83676/general-hospitals-jane-elliot-dishes-on-her-awesome-50-year-run-in-soaps/

Jane said in an interview that there were originally bigger plans for Judy, but the 1981 writers strike shortened Knots season 2 along with Judy's arc. I love Judy's line to Abby "I'm not holding the check - you are!" Classic

SL gives a masterclass in parrying the interviewer's inane questions

I only know Wortham Krimmer from his brief villainous stint as Cal Winters on Days from 89-90, which I found underwhelming. How nice to see him in a better role that highlights his talent and charisma.

Wow, Maria is played by Gina Torres, who has gone on to a big Hollywood career. I agree, she is very affecting.

Yea I think she was immediately a hit. She debuted 10/18/94 but I don't think she was on contract at first. Her first month, she didn't appear that much, but by Thanksgiving, the show was all-in for Phyllis. Her first audacious act was on 11/23/94 when she (uninvited) brings baby Daniel to meet his "grandpa" Rex at the Chancellor Mansion. I wish we had this ep! This is right before Rex was killed.

The show didn’t seem to know what to do with the lovely and talented Vivica Fox. That’s ok, it worked out well for her. Soon after she stopped appearing on YR, she filmed Independence Day with Will Smith and the rest is history.

I’ll handle Hair and Make-up!

Ah ok so maybe some years, it's treated like a Memorial Day episode in function in that the stories are isolated and won't affect the plot if the ep is pre-empted. But they just don't actually reference the holiday in the script.

oh right! In 2001, there was an ep that was Ryan/Vickie flashbacks. Maybe that was Memorial Day

Does anyone know if 5/25/92 is the last year that the show recognized Memorial Day and used it as a theme? I just skimmed through Mem Day 5/31/93 and it wasn't a Memorial Day-themed episode.

Hi @Maxim just wanted to say I really enjoy your posts, such as this one, and your deep-dives into other soaps like Edge of Night and One Life to Live.

I watched ‘92 a couple years ago… my impression is that Felicia’s story and her romance with Taylor’s brother (forgot his name) wound down, and that they were both written off. Haven’t seen any articles one way or the other, though.

6 months before his YR debut!

I say do it!

That’s right. Nikki was perhaps going to leave Jack, but she re-committed to him when he randomly saw Victoria drowning in the pool and saved her.
