Can that be Kate Dezina? I know Candy Earley and Vasili Bogazianos have stated that the all lost touch with her. Where did you find he picture?

update from the original Heather Webber, Cher's sister Georganne LaPierre: http://greginhollywood.com/in-exclusive-interview-chers-sister-georganne-lapierre-talks-about-general-hospital-and-more-83239

She has few delusions of grandeur when it comes to her spot in GH history.

Q. While many former cast members were asked back for the anniversary, you were not for the 25th or the 50th. What are your feelings about that?

A. I sat looking at this question for a long time because I was trying to think of a diplomatic or “politically correct” way to reply but ultimately I just decided to answer it truthfully with what is in my heart. And that is that I was very disappointed and hurt that I was not included in either the 25th or the 50th anniversary celebrations.

I mean, the character that I created is still on the show – I must have done something right! I honestly feel like I am part of GH’s history and as such it would have meant a lot to me to have been included.

Am I the only one who finds Sean Moynihan absolutley gorgeous?

Anyone ever read this interview with Richard Shoberg? I find it to be very good. It was from 2009.

http://pinevalleybul...iewShoberg.html

I gave that interview! Dick could not have been more awesome.

Nope, certainly not that

Richard was still gorgeous a fit until 1993/94. I think had he hired a trainer, he would have stick around. I think John Callahan (Edmund) started to fill his role as the town good-guy because he retained his handsome looks longer.

I wish Tom continued to make cameos past 2006. He was Erica and Hayley's AA sponsor, Brooke's best friend... also had they actually developed the Jamal character, he should have swung by and saw his parents.

Random SOD mention #3...

I was looking at the new SOD, in the store. They interview Eva La Rue. She gets a few bashes in at AMC again, for old time's sake. She mentions how disappointed she was in the finale, as she had expected more montages and goodbyes, and to cry, and instead there was too much of the story planned for the move to the Internet. She said she only cried once, at Tad's speech, and almost when Stuart/Adam reunited.

here it is:

I do not exactly disagree with her.

Brooke was raped by Eddie Dorrance. She went on a date with him, but he raped her afterward. I believe that is when she had the abortion. Eddie died in 1978, and this was at Christmastime. So, it must have been 1977.

So, three of the major female characters of All My Children were rape victims: Brooke, Erica, and Ruth.

Above, I may have been a year too early. Eddie may have died in 1979.

My records have Warren Burton in the role of Eddie until 1979. This only makes sense since Warren Burton and Francesca James would both win Supporting Acting awards at the 1980 7th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards for their work in 1979.

Yes, Rape is/was such an overplayed plot point. The rape of Ruth Martin was savage, she was in a parking lot.

Someday right... AMC needs to be streamed officially by ABC. I would buy a subscription.

What year was iBrooke's abortion? About 1980, right?

I remember reading about it in the AMC Trivia Book; I was very surprised, as I never remember hearing anyone mention it (unless I missed it).

I have it as 1979.

Some more of my favourite photos, that I rarely share at full resolution:

Skye Chandler (Robin Christopher) is all her 90's glory:

A photo of Ellen (Kathleen Noone) in the old Tucker home (next to the Martin home, which would switch hands many times eventually becoming the Dillon residence):

Our beloved late Natalie (Kate Collins) showing off her assets in what has to be the sexiest otufit in heaven:

A rare photo of short-term JR (Jonathan Bennett, a lot of lost potential here) and Adam (David Canary):

What year was iBrooke's abortion? About 1980, right?

I remember reading about it in the AMC Trivia Book; I was very surprised, as I never remember hearing anyone mention it (unless I missed it).

I remember her talking about it again around the time she was pregnant with Jamie, and her subsequent pregnancy with Tad while they were married. It was part of her decision making in not having another abortion. Of course, she had to end her second pregnancy with Tad because it was ectopic and could have killed her.

Margo and Claudette sound like such tawdry sluts. Damn.

Eddie Dorrance also raped Brooke; she got pregnant and aborted. That's rarely (if ever?) been mentioned in subsequent years.

It was probably AMC's first "redemption by rape" story.

Here is another photos of Claudette as played by Susan Plantt-Wilson:

A few more photos I want to share:

Another photo of Nigel and Myrtle Fargate; I think the picture Adeleide posted was a real treat!

Ruth and a very cute baby Jake, at Bobby Warner's birthday party.

Benny making a move on a "young and impressionable" Brooke

Myrtle and her "children" at Phoebe's funeral.

A few Questions. Where can I see the original Brooke?? Are there any videos or pictures?? Who is Margo Flax?!? And is Claudette Montgomery related to Travis or Jackson??

Here is the orginal Brooke (Elissa Leeds) with my favourite Chuck Tyler (Richard Van Vleet)

Margo Flax was a former model, and one time houseguest of the Kane home. Margo was the one time lover of Jason Maxwell, Erica's new agent and lover. She would eventually marry Paul Martin, and go so far as to attempt to murder Anne Tyler to keep him.

here is a longer bio: http://pinevalleybulletin.com/Quick%20Guide/BiographiesWeb/FlaxMargo.html

Here is a better pic of Margo:

Claudette Montgomery is Margo's daughter, who eventually would go on to work at The Chateau. She was most famous for being part of the drug storyline involving Kelly Cole and Eddie Dorrance. She was Eddie's real killer, but was willing to see Kelly go to prison for it. She and Lincoln had a relationship after he married Kitty and before he married Kelly. Susan Plantt Wilson was the most famed for the role. Here is a picture of her and Warren Burton as Eddie:

No, thank you for posting! These are true gems, we are so fortunate to see them!

I think this one is a little easier to ID.

Standing (L to R): Ray MacDonnell (Dr. Joe Martin), Eileen Letchworth (Margo Flax), Hugh Franklin (Dr. Charles Tyler), Judith Barcroft (Anne Tyler Davis), Larry Keith (Nick Davis), Agnes Nixon (creator, Agnes Ekheardt)

Seated on the sofa (L to R): Susan Lucci (Erica Kane), Fra Heflin (Mona Kane), Kay Campbell (Kate Martin), Susan Blanchard-Frank (Mary Kennicott), Ruth Warrick sans wig (Phoebe English Tyler), Mary Fickett (Ruth Brent Martin), Francesca James (Kitty Shea)

Seated on floor (L to R): Nicholas Benedict (Phil Brent), Charles Frank (Dr. Jeff Martin), Chris Hubbell (Chuck Tyler)

to the best to my knowledge, the cast featured here is as follows:

Standing (L to R): Chris Hubbell (the recently graduated Dr. Chuck Tyler), Susanc Blanchard-Frank (Mary "Mary Mac" Kennicott, RN), Charles Frank (Dr. Jeff Martin), Susan Lucci (Erica Kane), John Danelle (Dr. Franklin "Frank" Grant), Ray MacDonnell (Dr. Joe Martin), Stephanie Braxton (Tara Martin Brent), Hugh Franklin (Dr. Charles Tyler), Ruth Warrick (Phoebe English Tyler), Peter White (Lincoln "Linc" Tyler), Judith Barcroft (Anne Tyler Martin), Bill Mooney (Paul Martin), Pauline Breen (Claudette Montgomery), Larry Keith (Nick Davis), Francesca James (Kitty Cole Davis)

Sitting (L to R): Eileen Letchworth (Margo Flax), Nicholas Benedict (the better of the Phil Brents), Mary Ficket (my favourite Ruth Brent Martin), Kay Campbell (Kate Martin), and Fra Heflin (Mona Kane)

I love the picture of Dr. Tyler and Anne! It must be from her first wedding to Nick.

I only have one picture in my archives from the Remy storyline:

Angie (Debbi Morgan) and Remy (Eddie Earl Hatch)

New Miami Intro

I've also heard that the 1st episode is on demand with some cable providers.

Yes, I just watched it on Verizon. I think the revamp is pretty awesome! The next cast members are very interesting, and their story seems to be pretty fast paced already.

Speaking of Gregg Marx, found this from a few months ago and yes he still looks GOOD!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Is he married, does he have kids?

I think you only copied a partial link. Marx is not married, he is a "confirmed bachelor" and pretty open about it.

Also, my favourite photo of Travis and his little girl:

I wish Larkin would have stuck around; I loved the stryfe building between Barbara, Erica, Tom, and Travis. It was such an abrupt goodbye and reconcilliation between Travis/Barbara once Larking vacated the role. DHK will never be Travis in my eyes.

Probably one of the only highlights from MMT's 2nd run, the revisiting of Tad and Dixie's love affair:

I loved this scene.

I loved the way Natalie looked around this time, so sleek and chic.

Yes! This look screamed 90's glamour, and was very Princess Diana. Kate Collins was real stand out when she went from 80's chic to true sophisticate. She is one of the few women I know who looked better with short hair versus long hair.

Wanted to share an article written by Michael Logan when Emily McLaughlin passed away.

wow how telling,

"But unlike...tradition conscious soaps, GH never saw much value in its roots."

I guess Monty did a lot more hurt than good.

I was going to say (or loft), but then took that out. I couldn't remember where 100%. He was upset because he thought they deserved better, like Edmund and Maria, who had not been together very long. He was fired a few months later.

I have to agree with Whitfield, in that time it seemed like everyone had a grand wedding. The Mimi/Derek wedding was very small, intimate, and simple. Would you have considered Derek/Mimi a supercouple? I thought that both actors always played a supporting role. Mimi/Derek was never a "super couple" in my eyes.

I agree about the Dragon story ruining Mimi. Man, when it was announced that Mimi, Julia, and Di(xie) were returning and that their storylines would be intertwined, I thought MMT had an awesome storyline in the bag. A mix of talented veterans returning with strong connections to favourites on the canvas... boy was I wrong. MMT and Carlivati suffered from the same issue, they both had great set-ups, but dropped the ball on follow-through. The Sam Grey learns his parternity story was an easy win, but they ruined it when the abruptly let go Christian Campbell (ex-Bobby) and Bobby Steggert (ex-Sam), arguable two of the most talented actors on their canvas, Julia had awesome chemistry with everyone (David, Tad, Zach) but languised in the backburner. Then came the Satin Slayer that was such a throw-away tail it does not ever bear mention in the annals of AMC History.

I remember hearing something like that. It would be pretty dirty if he was fired for that reason alone. The more I watch Maria & Edmund, the more they annoy me. I didn't really mind them back in the day, but as an adult, they just annoy me a lot. Edmiund should have stayed with Brooke.

Especially since Dondre was conistently being nominated for Emmy Awards!
