I was watching videos of Cynthia online, as I didn’t watch GL, and she seems to have a similar personality and energy as Michelle Stanford. I can see why they chose her.

Tom was going through a midlife crisis. He quit his position as town district attorney. He then got a job as a reporter. While working with Em the two had an affair. Their affair went on for a while.

Thank you. I would think he was pretty disgusted when she later had an affair with his son.

Thanks for the replies. Tom seemed like an upstanding guy. I know he got Emily pregnant while married to Margo. Was that a one-time lapse in judgement, and if so, what caused him to stray?

I didn’t watch As the World Turns when it was on, but I’ve looked up some of the characters and watched some clips from the 2000s. Was the character of Emily considered to be a troublemaker? It seems like she was the Brooke Logan of that show in that she slept her way through the Hughes and the Stenback families.

Yes, it was not long after Becky joined the show in 1997. They only dated for a few months.

I wonder if that's why they didn't pair Jax and Elizabeth during the surrogacy storyline, because it was awkward for the actors.

I read somewhere that Rebecca Herbst and Ingo Rademacher dated for a brief time in the 90s. Does anyone know if that's true?

The OLTL/AMC baby switch crossover!

 

From Wikipedia:

Babe strikes up a friendship with Bianca Montgomery during December 2003. They grow close and become best friends. At a cabin, while a storm goes on outside, Babe helps Bianca give birth to her baby daughter, Miranda Montgomery. Bianca falls unconscious and Babe leaves to go get help. She breaks into Dr. David Hayward's cabin and calls Paul at Llanview Hospital for help. The day before (on One Life to Live), Paul helped his sister, Kelly, give birth to a baby boy, but the baby died right after birth. Kelly, believing a baby would be the only thing that could save her marriage, begged her brother to get her a child. Paul helps Babe get back to the cabin, where he delivers her son by the fireplace.

Paul seizes this opportunity to give his sister a baby in a storyline that becomes known as the baby switch. He drugs Babe, puts her in a helicopter, and stages a helicopter crash near a river in the forest. When Babe awakens, Paul tells her that the helicopter crashed and her baby is dead. She loses consciousness again. When Adam Chandler and JR arrive at the scene and threaten Paul, should anything bad have happened to their heir, Paul twists his story around and tells them that it was Bianca's baby that fell into the river and that Babe's child survived. JR's family is elated that Babe's baby is alive, but Bianca's family is devastated by the news. In Llanview, Paul gives Kelly Babe's son (later known as Adam Chandler III, then Little Adam, and currently AJ), telling her that the boy's mother was a poor homeless woman who did not want a baby.

Later on, Babe finds out that the baby she thought was her own is really Miranda Montgomery, Bianca's baby who was thought to have died in the storm. Babe is so distraught over the reveal that her son has been the one to die in the storm that, with convincing by Krystal, she decides to keep the baby. But she eventually discovers her son to be alive, and that JR is indeed the biological father of the little boy. When the truth is finally revealed, it causes a severe rift in Babe and Bianca's friendship, although Bianca is more distant than hostile toward Babe. Babe's romantic relationship with JR also ends.

That one was fantastic. I was so happy when Bianca got to slap Babe, as I hated her.

And he alluded on Chelsea Lately that Lindsay was ... well he smartly said very little at all. At 2:30:

 

 

That was a bit shady. At least he didn’t specifically say anything bad, which I think is right considering she is still the mother of his daughter.

Baby switches are an old soap trope, but what soap did the storyline best?

Two from AMC's early days:
John Danelle and Lisa Wilkinson (Frank and Nancy Grant, Jesse's aunt and uncle) - they were married but I feel as though I've read that they divorced at some point but I could be wrong
Charles Frank and Susan Blanchard (Jeff and Mary Kennicott Martin) - still married today

From later on, Justin Bruening and Alexa Havins (Jamie and Babe) have been married for close to 15 years now.

I forgot about Justin and Alexa. They were certainly an attractive couple, and I was surprised they ended Jamie and Babe as quickly as they did.

Are we going to count instances of actors having affairs? If so, then Melissa Reeves and Jason Brooks.

Isn't it rumored that Scott Reeves made her quit the show in order to work on saving their marriage after her affair?

Did Kelly Menighan and Jon Hensley meet while on As the World Turns? I'm kind of surprised they never paired Emily and Holden together.

Well, I learned today that Michael Mealor (Kyle, Y&R) and Briana Henry (Jordan, GH) dated. They really de-aged the character of Jordan when they cast her in the role.

Who are some actors that were confirmed or rumored to be involved in real-life? I know the actors who played Tammy and Jonathan on Guiding Light dated, but wasn't it rumored that he had dated Gina Tognoni before her?
