I have some ideas too. I wish Agnes Nixon was still alive. It would be great to get her own point of view on Mona's family.

Interesting. I never paid attention to the locket. Watching it on YouTube, it's hard to decipher the initials since the video quality is downgraded. Susan references Diana Blaine? Was that supposed to be Goldie? I thought Susan was actually referring to an actress who played Goldie, which I guess doesn't make sense.

What made nurse Caroline a schemer?

Yeah, Phoebe was so proud that the English family was a founding family of Pine Valley. It would have been great to bring more English characters to the canvas. OMG, I have vented here so many times about not knowing Mona's maiden name. And it drove me crazy that Mona herself referred to Erica and her daughters as "Kane" women (that mirror scene right before Erica's wedding to Dimitri). Yeah, I understand that we're talking about THE ERICA KANE, so any other name attached to her would be a little jarring, but Mona hated Eric so much, that it didn't make sense that she would be so proud to be a "Kane." Also, I think the show missed an opportunity to bring Mark back into the fold once Mona passed away. Mark and Erica had a very special brother-sister bond and I felt she needed a relationship like that to help as a sounding board.

I wish in its later years, All My Children rebuilt some of its legacy families like the Tylers and Kennicotts. I know these families ran its course by the late 80s, but it would have been nice to re-introduce these families. My last memory of a Kennicott was of that very bland Katie who had a brief fling with Joey (Jake) Martin. She was all sorts of awful. The show made an attempt to revitalize the Cortlandts with the addition of Caleb, but Michael Nouri lacked charisma and his character failed to become a romantic partner for Erica. I said this previously, but it would have been nice if Mona had siblings, so that Erica would have some family outside of her bratty children and children's children.

There was a Betsy Kennicott but in looking at some online recaps, Betsy was mostly involved in the Wally-Devon storyline. I don't see any mention of Betsy and Frank, although they probably crossed paths. The only time I remember watching Betsy was when she was trying to convince Sybil to leave town and leave Nina and Cliff alone.

😳 I forgot that Liza was horny for Cliff. It would have been great to see Marcy Walker play this storyline.

OMG Christine Baranski is TERRIBLE in this episode. 😆

You're right. He's about 5 years off. I guess by the time Tad was "47" in 2011, he had been through SOOOOOOO much drama, it was hard to believe he was only in his 40s.

This clips makes me laugh because Tad says he is 19. This is in 1983, which means when All My Children went off the air, Tad was only 47! MEK looked good in 2011, but not youthful. I don't remember that discussed in the press but Ray acted very well played in the episode.

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of this historic moment in sports 👏🏼🙌🏼 🇷🇸

Yes!

OMG, the cold open with the Lezbo jokes by Phil Hartman. 😵 This was a star-studded SNL cast!

Gosh, I just love Erica so much! This clip is vintage Erica.

Erica and Brooke almost seem cordial in this video.

I have no idea. I always thought it was weird that her house had a name!

Do you mean Linden House or another residence? I can't recall any of her other homes having names, except that one.

Here is one of the earlier interactions. From what I can infer, Erica and Palmer started out as business partners as they launched Erica Kane Cosmetics. I would consider Palmer and Erica close. Remember when she was looking for a "white knight" to save Enchantment? Erica turned to Palmer for help.

Good question. I think I actually watched a video the other day with one of the earlier Erica/Palmer interactions, but I can't remember the specifics. I'll have to find it again and share. Going down another rabbit hole....

OMG, I can't with Erica and her jealousy of Brooke! 😂 And the fact that Erica and Brooke were nominated alongside the first female astronaut to walk the moon. Oh lawd. 😂

I am very impressed by this YouTube channel which has a ton of Erica clips across various storylines. I had no idea Jenny asked Erica to be one of her bridesmaids! 😂 https://www.youtube.com/c/HamiltonBernique/videos

God I love Erica 😂

I was just thinking about Ingrid Rogers the other day and went down a rabbit hole of videos and articles about her.

Love it!

I believe he was temporarily recast because he was out shooting a movie. Mateo was in the thick of a few storylines so it was impossible to write him out. During this time, Kelly was still on contract at AMC and simultaneously doing the talk show.
