Susan Lucci announces the title of her new memoir: La Lucci. https://www.instagram.com/p/DI_l66NguJm/

Dixie and Craig were basically having sex with their clothes on.

Without looking it up, I believe it's 1993. I also loved Barbara Rush.

By the way, why did we rename this a Tribute thread instead of a Discussion thread? I know it’s mostly semantics, but is there a meaningful difference?

Love these little reunions. I just saw Cameron—he said people hate him as Drew on GH, but they also hated him as Ryan Lavery back when his character came between Hayley and Mateo. LOL. I always enjoy when old All My Children friends stop by Live.

Most likely “in development.” Projects can stay in development for years and never end up getting made.

I don't recall any scenes with Erica at Nina's wedding. She was probably in NYC at the time.

I love her so much! ❤️

Are these Palm Springs episodes repeats from last year?

Genie Francis wore a Geoffrey Beane wedding gown. LOL! I remember it was big news back then. I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. The dress was ringarde at best.

I think social media engagement is part of actors’ contracts, so maybe the actor didn’t have a choice.

You are a drug pusher. I will not! I need to abstain. It's Lent. 😊

Colin was the second actor to play Josh. Scott Kinworthy originated the role. I thought he was a decent actor. Remember when Josh and Dani Frye hooked up?

Tyrell's sweater-shirt looked so itchy that it made me feel uncomfortable.

I just can't with Bill and Hayley today when they got home. Their reaction to the picture frame and bottle of wine had me cracking up. It felt like a hilariously bad Sesame Street skit—"Who stole Cookie Monster's cookies from the cookie jar? Elmo, was it you?"

That deserves a triple slap Erica Kane-style.

You asked Hal if he read Megan's seedy memoir?

I always thought Scott Thompson Baker had great charisma. His character made a strong entrance and quickly became part of a major storyline, holding his own the entire time. He had incredible chemistry with Cady McClain and Teresa Blake (whatever happened to her?).

OMG, don’t tempt me! I refuse to click that YouTube link—I still vividly remember that scene as incredibly HOT HOT HOT!

I felt really uncomfortable reading the chapter where Megan called Agnes a homophobe. That accusation seems hard to believe, considering how inclusive Agnes was in her writing—especially with characters like Lynn Carson, the lesbian psychiatrist for Devon on All My Children, and Black characters like Carla Gray on One Life to Live.

I agree. Sheila Ducksworth appears to be a reasonable and supportive leader, at least based on her interviews. She seems like the kind of manager who prioritizes setting people up for success, which is likely a refreshing change from previous daytime executives.

This is just my guess, but I think Megan's bitterness toward Susan comes from the fact that Susan always praises Agnes and Lorraine—especially since Lorraine was invited to the 92NY event while Megan was not—yet tends to overlook Megan. While Megan did provide Susan with substantial material, like Bianca’s anorexia storyline, I always preferred Erica’s character when Agnes or Lorraine was in charge. Under Megan’s writing, Erica—and many of the female characters—often felt like perpetual victims.

I don't think Ben Gavin, the actor playing Derek, is going anywhere because his most recent story on IG shows him moving his family to GA. (I assume he had been commuting until now.) Of course, cross-country moves don't stop employers from dumping their employees. LOL. Truly starving!
