Ah, John Cunningham (ex-Emerson, ATWT; ex-Garth, LOVING; ex-Wade, SEARCH FOR TOMORROW). One of my all-time faves.

Oh, Good God. That's so horrendous. Thank the Lord none of these men won the respective roles.

Actually, "Dorcas" comes from the Bible. From the Book of Acts 9:36-42: Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. / And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. / And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. / Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. / But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. / And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. / And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

Mack could be tempted, of course, and he was. Not just with Anne, but with Jill Bennett and, later on, Paula Vertosick. However, in this case, I tend to side with Lee. KNOTS needed at least one, relatively stable couple. Otherwise, if all the major couples were falling in and out of each other's beds, the show as a whole would've looked soulless and vapid.

Just because I'm all thumbs at message board-ing, don't assume I wouldn't know my way around a beautifully constructed scene. ;D

I just said the same to an e-mail buddy of mine, who also happens to be a tremendous AW fan. If I could go back in time and write for Lemay (forget about just watching the show, lol!), I would.
