Yes, bougie Francophile Dorian dubbed the old Saybrooke mansion La Boulaie (literally birch grove, I seem to remember Dorian saying garden). Dorian also gave the address as 202 Lincoln Terrace. There was a funny moment when Dorian had a plaque put up with a false date of the house's construction as though it were an historic residence. Viki had a line like, "Dorian, this house was built in 1952!" Asa's mansion was called Moorcliff. When he married Alex, the house was rechristened, Alexandria. Llan- (land) is a Welsh prefix. Agnes Nixon said there were Llan- names near her home in Pennsylvania where she set OLTL.

OMG I wanna go back and watch alllll of this petty mess. Thank you @Cheap this is petty sad fodder

Zack or Slater? Actually Screech was just in Maryland a couple towns over doing his comedy act. I was tempted to go and yet totally put off at the same time.

Looks like one of the captions you see under litigants' names on Judge Judy

Can someone link me to the best and most affordable options for buying the complete series of Dallas and Knots?

I swear, every pic she posts on IG makes me light up and I feel the grin grow across my face. I wish more soap legends had IG pages.

Sam Clegg numero uno Are they using Monica that much these days to justify a recast? I agree with Carl that temp recasts can be fun. But I can't help but be reminded of how it upset Eileen Fulton that she had so little airtime to begin with yet they'd go to the length of temporarily recasting her when she fell ill.

She looked like Rachel but she had surgery to look *just like* Rachel. I remember Justine having these solo monologue scenes where she was in bandages.

Yes, you are correct. I also remember that Justine had telltale scars on her wrists from attempted suicide.

Oh that's interesting. We've discussed it before, but the leap from Kristen to Felicity was quite a big one, so physically different.

Anyone remember the movie Speed Zone? Lol I watched it a million times in the 6th grade. That's where my great memories of Melody Anderson lie, she and Shari Belafonte burning down the road in their high tech Ferrari. As said, a lovely actress, just not Natalie. She could have been a great Laurel. My mom had a little TV on her desk at work and she said she was moved to tears when Melody's Natalie saw the angel at the top of the tree. That was probably the highlight of Melody's tenure on the show.

I think the actress (lightskinned, braids) who replaced her as Simone did a lovely job with the part, she's actually the Simone I saw and remember the most from watching in high school. Then again, I'm guessing she was given stronger material, the divorce, dealing with young Tommy. My memory of SQ's Angie is of a rather generic, "safe" performance. A tough situation, I'd love to hear what she thought about her days with AMC. She didn't strike the chords we were used to with Angie. Debbi's voice and face are so distinctive, it's hard to buy Angie in anyone less than a clone, which as history has shown us on soaps, rarely works either. I loved SQ on Hanging with Mr. Cooper though, she emerged vividly, there was no shadow of Dawnn Lewis cast over her in my view.

What did I miss, there are two Jeffs? This question comes per a picture Nicolette posted on IG.

Dynasty is not an 8 o'clock show and shame on the universe for making me choose between it and Master Chef Junior.

My precious 1/1:30am episodes are gone.

Giving her the whole house gives Alexis too much power, imo, but hey, I guess you can't tell the exact same story twice. :/ Having Alexis just be deeded the studio, she was more of an interloper, a spider slowly weaving her web. Nicolette presents as post Cecil even. Audiences have no patience these days and if they want to ride off of the nostalgia quotient or anything a twentysomething would know about Dynasty, they've got to skip to magazine cover Joan Collins ColbyCo era Alexis.

To answer my own question, it was Tom which is too bad because Bill Smitrovich was the strongest actor on the show.

Darn, how long ago did Niles appear? Knew him from acting school.

I loved this promo campaign, OLTL had some great ones too. The music always reminded me of this classic commercial: Erica's, "I could kill you!" was of course foreshadowing the little incident with the letter opener. Same. When she was on Swan's, I referred to her as "the Erica" of that show. Such a pleasant surprise to read in my mother's SOD that she'd been cast on AMC. Had no idea what was in store. In hindsight, I can hardly believe how clueless I was about Kendall being Erica's daughter. I remember watching with my grandfather the scene where Mona helps Kendall fix her necklace and Kendall pulls up her hair to reveal a birthmark on the back of her neck. Mona made a concerned look and I asked my grandfather what that was about and he offered that the birthmark might be cancerous (!!!).

Who died? Tom? Fell behind in my viewing.

The first time I heard Dorian (Robin Strasser) mention that she was a doctor was when she and Cassie had that run-on the staircase at Llanfair, Cassie's fall leading to her miscarriage. IIRC, they did mention her being a doctor during the DID s/l. She flexed some of her medical knowledge later on. I totally forget who it was, Todd, Patrick, (someone involved with Blair) who needed an operation. Dorian consulted with a doctor friend, telling Blair that the procedure was going to cost, "a quarter of a million."

I can hardly wait to see her.

Yes, we were talking about it over in the AMC thread:

I always thought that was weird, like, who's named Billy? Was it really Harlan William and Billy a nickname for him and his son?
