I think they may have even lived together at one time, that she was the first woman who helped him see he should find love, etc. I think they had a flashback scene.

I think he dumped Jill (which left her really shaken up for awhile), and that's one of the reasons why Maeve and Johnny had reservations about Jack's relationship with their daughter who had just graduated college.

What did you all think about RH's "younger" set that was prominently focused on during the 80s? No matter what they were like at the time, they had to be light years better than the "teen sets" today.

Jack & Jill - when they were together, Jack wasn't interested in a commitment and he felt Jill was too uptight -- plus both thought the other was too emotionally closed off.

Of course, that was before Jack and Jill were saved by the love of a Ryan. ;-)

When Jack was seeking an annulment from Mary, he wanted Jill to testify that when they were in bed one Sunday morning, there had been noisy kids outside , down on the street, and at that time he told Jill he never wants children.

I still love Jack's drunken comment over the phone about how a walrus "barking over his big, round belly" reminded him of "good old Da"!! Even Maeve couldn't help laughing at that one. Priceless!!

Some comments from Nancy Addison (Jill) that were in the Soap Opera Digest article To Quit Or Not To Quit? How Stars Cope With the Temptation to Leave Daytime (written by Michael Logan) in the December 1, 1987 issue.

Interesting article - and of course, the stakes are so much higher now.

Nancy was already in her early 40's, so I give her credit for leaving a steady paycheck and even attempting to try to find some success in California at that time.

Yes, no one can say that she didn't try! Then, when she couldn't find work out West, she went back to NYC and ended up creating roles on AMC and Loving. The latter, especially, provided her with a great opportunity to play a quasi-villainess in Deborah Brewster.

Thanks!! I always refer to him as the scary, angry Pat. LOL

The John Gabriel & Friends LP is listed on eBay, with a complete track listing. Of course "Jillian's Theme" aka "Hello Again" is there, as is a song he co-wrote for his real-life wife, Sandy Gabriel. Another song he covers is one EVERYONE loves - Morris Albert's "Feelings". AAAAH!!

The "friends" of the title are Sherry Mathis (Liza Sentell) of SFT, who sings "There Will Be Sweeter Days", Kelly Wood (Mary Ellison, ATWT) who performs "You Needed Me", Francesca James (Kelly Cole, AMC) with her rendition of "You Light Up My Life", and Michael Ingram (Vinnie Wolek, OLTL) who covers one of The Carpenters' biggest hits, "For All We Know".

Has anyone ever listened to this album back in the day? Would anyone here bid for it on eBay?

Never heard this album...so there weren't any of John's RH “friends” on the album?

Nope, no one else from RH was on the album. The album was released in 1979, and here's a fun fact - it was produced by Archie Bleyer and distributed on Cadence Records. They were responsible for many of the Everly Brothers' biggest hits.

Katherine Justice (Temp Faith February 1979) performs with a competitive quartet called Happy Hour!
