Oh, how nice of them - I'll bet receiving your request made their day!

That was a nice photo of Patrick (and the photos of Liz, too). I'm a little behind on my viewing of The Doctors and have not wanted to look at that thread until I catch up -- so thanks for the link where I could see the picture.

Flipping channels today and caught a glimpse of Leslie Easterbrooke (Devlin Kowalski) and Joan Fontaine (Paige Williams) on The Love Boat.

The November 7, 1981 episode is on Daily Motion

Leslie was also in a December 1983 episode.

James Sloyan (Mitch) was in the October 13, 1984 episode of The Love Boat

James had another appearance February 8, 1986 (an Egyptian cruise). Grant Show (Rick) also appeared in that episode. They fought over Valerie Harper (she chose Grant)


It was a two parter.

Referring to people by first and last name was certainly something Ryan's Hope characters did all the time.

And Kate called Nancy Addison “Nanny” ... I wonder if that is what everyone called her.

How great is that? I would love to read a biography of Nancy, especially one written by her husband (who, working in the news industry, would have the best help at his disposal to make it happen). I look forward to its release.

Back to Kate, I wish she had touched more on her time at RH (but that's just the soap fan in me) - but how she told how Claire Labine kept her on the show after divulging her unwed pregnancy and even writing it into Mary's story was great. Knowing how much agony she was going through by putting the baby up for adoption and still putting her heart and soul into Mary's excitement about bringing baby Ryan home...I don't know how she did it. Incredible.

Being from Cleveland, I know she's been featured over the past decade and a half or so on the local news and at charity functions having to do with her work in Alzheimer's research, because that's what her mother had. But she (or more likely, whoever was in charge of proofreading the manuscript) made a big spelling error by calling the county Cleveland is located in CAYAHOGA County...it's CUYAHOGA.

Other than that, it was very interesting learning about her childhood in Iowa - and heartbreaking what happened to her sister. I also never knew that Kate had once been raped - how awful. But I believe all that has made her into an extremely strong woman. I wish her nothing but the best from here on in.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
