Dan was a villain to me because he was hurting innocent people and he was never humanized at all.  I'm more sympathetic toward Cathy and John and don't really see them as villains.  Nick and Althea weren't exactly innocent in any of the events involving Cathy and John.  I've grown to loathe Nick and Althea because they're self-centered, hypocritical, and don't care who they hurt.  The constant Nick-propping by the other characters is maddening.  How many times an episode must we hear how great he is?

Going back and watching the Dan and Carolee pairing/marriage. I wonder why they decided to make Dan a psycho ? Richard Higgs was a great actor and he could have been used long term on the show. I could have pictured him paired with Althea or Ann. 

 

I was sorry to read of his suicide while he was on Love of Life in 1977. He was a tall.  In some of his scenes he has to lower his head to enter doors.

Has Nancy Pinkerton come and gone on the Retro TV airings?  I just started today.

 

Also, I'm looking out for a former teacher of mine, Eulalie Noble.  Not at all sure when she aired, she's passed now so I can't ask her.

 

Elizabeth Hubbard sure is stunning, I first noticed at the '99 Emmys when they showed clips of the earliest awards ceremonies.

    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.

    • I'm screaming at those clips and gifs.  THIS IS PURE GOLD.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
