What did the theme end up being for her 21st costume party?

Vetsoapfan I think you were the exception to the rule, which is a good thing. I know they were available by the mid-late 1970s, but not that many people had machines until much later, so while available they weren't persuasive like they became in the 1980/1990s. How many hours could you tape on your machine a day? It sounds like your machine allowed you to record things from different channels, which is even better. (Not everyone could do that, I say that as the machine my babysitters had in the 80s the channel didn't automatically change and you could only watch the show that was being taped.)

Considering people really didn't have VHS or even Betamax machines moving a show could cause fans to leave out of no choice of their own. If you were an AW fan and got home at 2:30, you were okay when the 90 minute expansion happened as at least you were home when it was on, but if you only got home closer to three or after 3 pm, you were screwed once it moved to 2:00 pm. Not everyone watching AW were stay-at-home parents, and even if they were depending on the schedules of children, having the show on a different time may not have been convenient.

Josh was "bad" as he was known for coming between Morgan and Kelly. He also had sex with one of Carrie's alternate personalities.

I was reading more information about background players today on the SAG/AFTRA site. http://www.sagaftra.org/background-extra-performers How does a background performer qualify for an upgrade to principal performer? There are several ways to qualify for an upgrade to principal performer. Here are the most common: A performer is directed to speak a line (other than omnies); or A performer is performing an identifiable stunt; or A performer is in the (1) foreground, (2) identifiable, and (3) demonstrating or illustrating a product or service or illustrating or reacting to the on/off camera narration or commercial message. (The performer must meet all 3 criteria simultaneously in the spot to qualify for a principal upgrade.) --I think some of our background people on The Doctors who don't speak fall into this, they are shown, we can identify them by name...and they are reacting like if Carolee passes them something or the phone rings and they pick it up on screen even if they don't say anything we can hear. So basically it looks like the silent people on "The Doctors" weren't truly extras/background, but were dayplayers, under-5 status at least with how things work today.

From what I understand you have to pay an actor more if their character has a name when they appear than if they do not when they are a dayplayer. (I have no idea if that was how it worked when "The Doctors" was in production.)

It is ridiculous if they block things and only allow Australian viewers to watch as people in the UK and US (via Hulu) actually can view the show legally in those areas. If there isn't a music issue or a spoiler we shouldn't be seeing yet, they shouldn't do that. They turned Neighbours vs. Zombies on worldwide.

I like that Kieron says that Ste has been treating John Paul horribly throughout the characters' relationship. There is some weirdness in the interview, but I wonder were they sober?

Harlem lust, right. It just has an added saxophone.

Considering Patrick is an abuser, I don't want JP with him. What about the new teacher Mr. Loveday, that could work

What that's annoying, thanks I guess. Better to be forewarned then being shocked and annoying. Hope it was the performer's choice to live and not solely the show's decision.

On Linda Dano's Facebook page there is a video of her and Stephen Schnetzer when they ran into each other in NYC earlier this week.

Nick makes me feel sorry for Brad being his brother-in-law...

This wouldn't work for a 12-part miniseries. For something that long the cast should be about a dozen people in major roles. If you'd just do the part with Zach and James, and Spaulding-Lewis that would be enough story. It felt like fan service that if anyone was omitted that people would be upset, so nearly every character that was on the show in the last few months (or their kids) was mentioned.

Ed moved into the house on the hill, by the Spauldings and the Lakeland Country Club, while married to Rita. Before that, he lived in much less posh surroundings. Bert only moved into the house years later when she was in the wheelchair, so it wasn't ever really Bert's home...

Thank you for posting that reply video, I read about Eddie Redmayne praising Karl & Susan (as Karl and Susan not Alan and Jackie), so it was great to see this. Maybe Bossy gets a love interest for the 30th anniversary!

It is an issue with the RTV channel the uploader has. I didn't have a problem with RTV cutting off the closing credits of episodes of The Doctors.

I appreciate Eddie Redmayne for saying what he did though I wish he used their real names.

Ste's Dad Danny is dead so he is a non-factor.

Marcia Cross as Emily Norris perhaps, Ken and Janet's daughter who grew up away from Springfield...

Did RTV show two episodes on Friday? I got the same one twice.

Tony and Danny were cousins. The episodes should be around 40-42 minutes from that time frame including credits...

I read years later in one of the magazines that Lenore Kasdorf had health problems, which made Rita's return with her in the role not feasible. (We may have discussed this on the board, but I cannot recall.)

They could have taped things out of order as the wedding was a remote. So even if that isn't the last thing that aired with Vigard, it may have been the last material she acted.

Thank you for sharing the note from Carolee. Her character is one of my favorites watching this show I never watched during its run. When I read the history of her acting training at least now I sort of understand why I see what I do within her performances.
