Doesn't that silhouette in the beginning look like the cover of one of those novelized soap opera books they made in the eighties?

Yeah, would have been nice if she turned up as Ionia. Last time I saw her in daytime, she was playing a judge on AW and her hair was cut short kind of like how Robin had cut hers short at the time. I *may* have that somewhere on tape.

What fun that catfight is! I'm guessing it truly was GEN's brightest moment. And it is kinda sad to read that second piece. I wish I would have watched when BET re-aired it, I guess 1990 was still a time when we wouldn't automatically at the notion of a network soap going syndicated.

Very interesting reading EP's valid point about Dorian becoming *hers*. Some very important character developments happened during her tenure that became significant, lasting parts of who Dorian became with Robin Part Deux. Linda Gottlieb mentioned in an interview that MB had a scar on his face and I swear I never noticed it until that picture. He looks like Jay from Jay and Silent Bob.

That's the late Rosanna Carter who was Esther Rolle's sister. I don't know if you ever saw the movie She-Devil, but she played the judge who put Ed Begley, Jr.'s character away. I had totally forgotten she had played this part yet always remembered an older female relative calling them Henry and Randall James. She is struggling a little with these lines bless her heart.

I spoke about her earlier in his thread perhaps a little unflatteringly (?), but I think I was just unnerved as she was one of the first recasts I experienced. What I remember most was her voice. She had a rich, warm, milky/buttery sound, and she spoke kind of low and slow. Very feline.

Elizabeth Savage looks like Anita Morris there. That pic of Trisha and whatshisname is epic.

Nick Walker is so patrician, he would have been better as one of Viki's Lord/Randolph cousins.

I think that's the one and only time we saw Mike Nader whimper and cry on camera. Grief sex.

Really? Kind of surprises me, he seems like the type who would see soaps as slummin (well, particularly One Life while I have an easier time seeing him taking the Y&R gig).

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

I don't remember if it was by chance that I caught that and recorded it about five years ago or if I read on SoapNet.com that her eps were about to begin. I never knew her, but Sarah taught Speech at my Acting school and a lot of my friends the year behind me had her. I wanted to show the tape to some of them. I for whatever reason had remembered her name prior to that and realized while looking through some old play programs that she was a speech coach at Arena Stage in D.C.

Was just flipping channels and landed on a screen reading: Also Starring Shari Shattuck Opening credits of an Anthony Quinn/Elizabeth Ashley movie on the This network.

You treat us yet again Carl, thanks! Always strange reading ones like these, so full of optimism when you know how things worked out. But it all happens for a reason and one way or another, Christina led Robin to Dorian.

Got an email about this upcoming SAG event with Miss Fulton: http://www.sagfoundation.org/userhome/eventdetails/8789

Carl, your point reminds me of Jim Jones, Jr.'s Oprah appearance where he spoke about his decision not to change his name. Instead of running from it he chooses to, not exactly embrace, but acknowledge the entirety of his life story as his own. I dunno... But honestly, I feel like we give such things more thought than the folks at One Life do.

They used Victoria Lord, or Victoria Lord-Buchanan a lot before she married Sloan when there was so much talk of Victor and the whole saga.

Brain, brain, what is brain!?

YES you mind reader, you!

Wow, don't you wish you were there? Bobby Short? So old school swanky up in there. I like the pic with Helmut's hand on Susan's rumpette. I wonder if Andreas had a big ol' lipstick print on his cheekbone after that. Meanwhile, Generations got all of two pics...

Priceless. Robin must melt whenever she remembers that one of Connie's favorite pics was of holding her son. What would she think of Dionne now?

I didn't really get all the Leo love at the time but in hindsight I can really appreciate what he brought as that type of character compared to a Rex for example.

Oh God, I know, that pic really does not do her justice. She reminds me of someone too, and in those pics above she almost reminds me of Maya on AMC. She kind of has an unique Robin Strasser meets Joan van Ark look about her. I really wish we could see her Rachel. All I got are the fumes of her odd Santa Barbara appearance.

this is great! You find such wonderful stuff that frankly I never would have thought existed let alone assumed I would never see. Her indecisiveness is something I share which is probably why I find it a little annoying in her. She seems like a sweet lady, I'm sorry things didn't work out.
