YES! This pic screams, "Here are our Alexis and J.R."

Right? I love it.

Continued:

Palmer and friends:

OMG! These are so awesome. can you still pull photos? There are awesome ones of Estelle/Benny/Donna, and a Devon/Lynn from the controversial Lesbian storyline. This is such a sweet share!

Here you go!-

And yes, I can still pull photos- do you have any other specific requests? I think I have almost all of them saved already and plan on posting all of them over time (it's like 500 photos just for AMC so I have to spread it out), but you have any you know you want to see, I can go ahead put those up for you.

Sigh- the old days when I liked Jason.

Just for SoapBoy:

Where did you find those old photos??

Getty Images- I have a subscription through my job, and I saved all the old archived soap photos and all the photos from the ABC archives that were on there.

Donna was quite a major character. After Chuck rescued her from her pimps, Tyrone and Billy Clyde, she took over the Glamorama from Opal. She later became Natalie's best friend. Imo, it was better that she didn't come back full-time since she and Chuck had their happy ending and left Pine Valley together.

Agreed. While I think that it would have been nice for all of them to have made more appearances over the years after they left (Mark most of all- there were SO many times his presence was needed), I liked that both Chuck & Donna and Mark & Ellen got to ride off into the sunset and got their happily ever afters.

From 1987:

I watch the old Home and Away episodes on 7Two all the time! So many characters I'd forgotten about (like Carly!) and I love seeing people like Ailsa and Fisher again. What's the youtube channel that has all the old episodes up?

I don't watch the newer episodes all that much, so I can't say much about how she acts now, but Marilyn has always been silly and goofy. She always talked too much and always got in other people's business. Once Marilyn left (the second time after being married to Fisher), Colleen came back and took over that role, but I guess now that she's back (and Colleen's gone again), she's back to being the town busybody. Is she still friends with Irene? I remember way back when her, Irene, and Bobby were all living in what's now Irene's house (that was before Irene's house became where all the town strays lived).

Mitt Romney, his wife, and his staff/advisors are some of the most arrogant, self entitled people I've ever seen. That comment is just flat out racist.

The "American Arrogance" and the ideas that "America is the best" and "everyone wants to be American!" are such huge problems, and I doubt it will get any better if Romney gets elected. Just look at the situation, my family is in now. My little sister was born in the US and is despite being born to two non-US citizens is a citizen. We're trying to get that citizenship denounced and have her declared an Australian citizen and the US is making it extremely difficult. First it was that she should be honoured to be American, that it was a privilege that "many around the world" would like to have, and that they couldn't imagine anyone giving it up and it was denied. They now want us to take her to the embassy and have her testify (alone) in front of a bunch of people to see if this is she what she really wants or if its her family trying to "coerce her into it". Just such arrogance.

Irene is the one with the drinking problem- I remember when she first showed up to try and get her kids away from Pippa and she was a raging drunk. I think she's been recovering for a while now.

Anyway, I didn't even realise Colleen was still on the show; anytime I ever watch Home and Away, I never see her. I don't think she's been used as anything but the town busybody for years and years now.

I guess the only longtime people left are Alf, Irene, and Marilyn. I can't imagine the show without Alf and Irene.

She looks a little like Donna Pescow.

Totally.

And since I'm on an old school All My Children kick, here's a picture of Benny and Donna (Candice Earley and Vasili Bogazianos) from a few years ago. Did she retire? She's done nothing since her AMC days.

1990/1991 it is then!

From the 25th Anniversary:

I'm not a expert (and I wasn't alive for the original Heather stuff), but I don't think the Luke stuff started till she came back in 2004. I could be totally wrong though.

There's actually a clip from around that same time where Al and Max talk about Gabrielle and Luna and Max tells Al that while Luna was the "love of his life" that didn't mean he didn't love Gabrielle too. If you haven't seen it MissLlanviewPa, I have it and will try to get it uploaded on YouTube soon.

For some reason, I'd forgotten all about Steve getting married. The last I remember was him and Dusty getting engaged but then they kept postponing it and putting it off. That was all going on while I was on a holiday visiting my family, so I guess the Steve stuff happened after that.

I think Len's relationships were just talked about and implied.

Lolly has been around since at least the late 90s.

Losing Ashley Callie and Leone definitely left a hole in the show. I definitely really hit the show hard.

Did Farrow kill her brother? I vaguely remember that. I agree they should have not gotten rid of her. Her exit was depressing too.
