I was following the show, as well as magazines, at the time, and I only remember the one Todd.

Some great work from Linda Cook here, Lisa Peluso looking breathtaking in a fur hat and coat, and part of the closing credits.

Ha, that first clip I thought, "That's not a fur hat Carl, that's her hair." I hadn't watched all the clips yet. These are great, thanks for sharing. And Lisa does look stunning, love her in that silver fox coat.

So I remember when Randolph Mantooth was Clay and my mother later explaining that he wasn't Clay anymore but I didn't remember him being off the show. I noticed that he wasn't in the credits but Horan was. I've never been.clear on the Clay retcon, i.e., the explanation of his appearance to his family if he was an imposter.

Randolph Mantooth left the role in 1989, and Alex was presumed dead. They recast him (I can't remember the actor's name) for about a year or so. They wrote him out with Egypt in 1990 or 1991. Then Mantooth returned in 1993. I think the recast may have been named Robert Dubac. He was a stand-up comedian.

I'm not sure what the explanation was for all the different faces (why James Horan had a different face than the guy impersonating Clay, why the recast Alex had a different face, etc.)

Some of the clips on this channel are similar to clips Chip Albers uploaded on his channel, so I won't be posting those too, as I think I already did in the past. But you can find them on Todd's channel if you want to see them.

It's a tale of two shows - one half generic, offputting shouting (led by Tony, because no one can bellow louder than Tony), and genuinely interesting mystery and drama with a little heart (Sydney/Richard). I enjoyed the Buck/Sydney banter too. And it's nice to see more of Molly's mania.

At least there's Carla to make me watch the other half.

(there was a ton of endless shouting and faux-macho aggression on ABC soaps at this time - I think that's one of the reasons their ratings were in the crapper)

Most of those actors eventually ended up on another ABC soap after this show ended

I watched some of the July and August episodes yesterday morning, along with a September one a few days ago, and Tony + Tony/Ally are huge dead spots in literally every single episode, often isolated and repetitive. No wonder the ratings stayed so poor - why did they think any viewer desperately needed to see Tony 3-4-5 days a week?
