I was wondering what happened to Roy too? I am getting this inkling feeling from recent episodes but he is paired with the domestic abuse victim, Amy, and then written off? Or does he and the rest of his family just fade away with Marland not addressing it?
And Derek reminds me of Damian. Both exotic. Both tall, dark-haired, and handsome. Both have an air of mystery to them. Just makes you shake your head that Lily would continue to make the same mistakes down the road.
I like Holmes/Smith opposite each other too. I loved her with Marx (from episodes I've seen featuring him), but Holmes just fit into the role of Tom like a glove. I am not ready for the episodes when Dolan comes to play Margo even though she was my Margo. Since I've been watching 80s episodes of ATWT, Smith has emerged as my favorite Margo. Makes me wish that she would've taken the role of Margo back instead of creating Nora on OLTL--a character I could not stand at times.
The Lien/Andy/Duke/Julie dynamic is funny as hell. It's just like this cesspool of sexuality. While Lien is cold towards Andy, she quickly comes out of her shell with Duke. And Julie is all over the place. But much like Duke, she is refreshing. Both of them are vile characters on paper thanks to their overt sexuality but b/c the actors are so good and both smart alecks in a lot of their delivery, you can't help but like both characters. But I think Andy wants to poke Julie more than he does Lien.
I didn't realize that Lucinda has tossed the quilt on the floor. I went back to watch and hollered. It does make sense. It's subtle things like that, that makes Marland a genius.
Brock and Ellie ... bleh. I like Ellie as a character but Brock/Emily are EVERYTHING. I'm not liking in recent episodes of Marland tossing Brock back into Ellie's orbit. Emily is where the magic is at. And Paul and Emily disgust me. Paul's obsession with Emily at this point scares me. I hate how the dynamic would remain the same but flip in the last decade of the show where Emily would be the one pining over Paul when from watching MS Emily, she's just lick her wounds and move on.
This playlist also has an October 1988 episode I hadn't seen elsewhere.
They have some January 1990 ones too that haven't been uploaded anywhere else (yet), although that's a year ahead of where you are so you may not want to watch. But you may want to download or something in case the videos get zapped.
edit...
Ewww…I never liked him in the role. Found him yucky….I preferred Mark Lewis ex Kurt on GL…Mindy's bf….also Mary Ellen Stuart's husband...
Ouch..didnt know that…I thought she was great on ATWT.
I don't think so….Jessica didnt appear until after Heather left…..I also wondered what happened to Roy. He was great on the show…and I just remember him vanishing.
