FINALLY binged this past weekend and saw the one scene my dear departed friend Angela Thornton had with Elizabeth Hubbard. They were to become lifelong friends and Hubbard was even at Angela's bedside when she died a few years ago. I hope to finally catch a scene with Geraldine Court (another dear departed friend) and Anna Stuart because THEY became lifelong friends because of the show. I actually ran into Anna here in NYC a few weeks ago. She was with her husband James Cromwell. She still looks absolutely beautiful. We talked about Geri, of course. What an amazing thing it is to have these episodes re-aired.

In light of Gerald Gordon's departure, it seems Anthony Cannon's character of Tom has been introduced to fill the void.

 

But I think once the Pollocks depart, Tom gets written off.

 

I noticed in the credits 2 people were credited under 'prompting'. Would this be cue card holders? Never seen this before on any soap.

So I've caught up to mid January 1975.

 

Karen is unhinged...but I do like that the character Rita Lakin created is still used to great effect by the Pollack 7 plus years later...along with the fallout of a short term fling between her and Steve.

 

Like Toni's new hair style...but I don't see the fire between her and Alan.  We're they popular when the shoe aired originally?  Killing Margo off has made them filler.

 

And I kind of like the actor playing Mike...but I know he doesn't last.

 

Nice to see Steve is still talking down to Carolee like shed an infant.  Why were they popular again?

I don't mean to be unkind, but Karen's acting reminds me of the type of OTT "soap acting" people parodied when I was growing up.  I was watching last night like, "Oh damn.  I guess *they* had a point."

 

Yeah, I Googled but couldn't determine anything.  Hmmm...

I googled Jay Clark and Ted Bates (this was the ad agency that C-P used to package the show back in the days when ad agencies did this) and found this:

 

Jay Clark, free lance director with the major networks, has joined the radio department of Ted Bates, Inc,

 

That was Billboard 1943 so assuming that this was the same man, he worked for the agency for over 30 years.

    • I agree with you about rules & regs but, frankly, choosing between retirement & working uncredited, come on, we know what she'd choose & she'd be right to do so. 
    • Hold up, hold up, hold up!!!   MADISON MONTGOMERY???   If a Zoe, Misty Day, and/or Queenie shows up...lol.
    • The Producers Guild of America (PGA), while not a union, does have rules and regulations regarding membership, conduct, and yes, credits. Assuming she’s a member of course. Being uncredited for what work exactly? Given her years of experience and multiple Emmy wins - why now decide you want to go uncredited for work you’ve done? 
    • That's very sad. What party he represented for and which area he represented? 
    • -- Daisy is a terrible name. If you're not going with a family legacy name, you gotta do better than that. -- When Frank is done with a character, he makes sure that character is painted in the worst possible way and the shade is thrown in the script. Natalia is being treated like a punchline to a bad joke....not that I mind. -- So Cody talked about Britt today. Gee, I wonder what's going on.
    • I remember another Phyllis residence -- I don't think that was a set shown abovethread, but I'm not sure.  Trying to remember some things off the top of my head but I might be wrong about part of it: I'm referring to the condo where Phick first had sex after the Michael/Lauren wedding.  I think they specifically referred to it as a condo?  After Stafford's Phyllis went into a coma, Jack sold it and I think he gave money to HunterKing's Summer when she married Austin? Or he gave Summer the condo?    There was a convoluted side plot about someone needing money and something from this was drawn in a shady way.  Something about it being sold?  And then when GinaT's Phyllis awoke from her coma, she had no condo to come back to.
    • Which union rules? SMH. Jill’s back, uncredited. 
    • Yeah I don’t get why she wouldn’t be credited if she’s back. That seems odd. I hope it’s true though, because the show needs a change. Badddddd.
    • The casino scenes came out of nowhere in comparison to the rest of the week, but at least there was some movement in the storyline. Joey has really made a fool of Vanessa. Chelsea is really embarrassing herself with this doctor. The desperation is so obvious and she clearly gets that from Dani. Hayley was giving Donna Logan vibes because that is how Donna acted when Eric had a heart attack. Stealing potential evidence is not going to reflect well on Kat and might throw the case against Leslie. Tomas had no business in Eva's hotel room even if he did shut down her advances. But I think they still might end up together at some point because the book that Eva gave him is the same one Kat called basic which seemed like foreshadowing.
    • So Sharon decides not to go to France and stay behind to support Mariah, but now with Phyllis gloating about getting an invite I’m sure she’ll change her mind.    Mariah’s secret is that she screwed that old man? I’m so confused about what’s going on here, and Mariah coming out and telling Tessa that she can’t know her secret is supposed to do what exactly? Is that supposed to put Tessa’s mind at ease? Lol…. I’m getting Cameron Kirsten vibes though. Did he do something to her without her consent and things went too far? These writers really can’t come up with something original if their life depended on it
