Thank you.

I've hunted around for the episode in which Nancy and Laurie Ann sit in the Karr living room and talk about Sarah Capice and Winston Grimsley, but to no available.

As the December, 1984 eps are being uploaded, I hope it pops up.

If you catch it before I do, please let me know.

Gracias!

Nancy and Laurie talk about family while decorating the tree and I believe this episode was during the final week the show aired in December. Aren't all those episodes loaded on YT?

I have seen it in the past, but I couldn't find that episode again when I looked for it recently. Some seems to be reuploading eps from December, 1984 again, so I'm hoping it turns back up (or that I can find it, somewhere).

It was definitely Lisa Sloan who would have played Nicole's doppelgänger. I recently came across some posts about the proposed story from 2008. It had been discussed here and on the late Danfling's message board. A few people, like myself and Soapslover, recall the story being planned for 1985. Others remembered it differently. One person said the story was planned for 1983 after Sloan quickly regretted leaving Edge and asked to return. The person said ABC and P&G vetoed the story. That said, Sheldon did plant the seeds for the story in September 1983 when Miles saw a Nicole lookalike in a restaurant. Here's the scene:

As for the Nancy/Mike/Laurie scenes, they were available online at one point. Sharon Gabet used to post episodes on her Facebook page -- kinda a watch party -- and people would chime in with comments and memories about the episode. I'm pretty sure she had screened that episode, so we should hopefully be seeing it soon. It was a lot of fun. Larkin Malloy even showed up for a couple of the discussions.

Thanks @robbwolff

I had forgotten Sloan wanted to leave. No wonder she regretted it - not sure she did much after the show.

Nice to see that Joel Crothers remembered his old Dark Shadows face. That's just how he looked when Joe was attacked by a werewolf.

I don't recall why Sloan opted to quit the show, but I think one of the rumors was that she was frustrated by the lack of movement/direction with her character and wanted to quit. There was another rumor that once she realized that a new head-writer was coming in, she had second thoughts.. but it was too late and her character was killed off onscreen.

Maeve was the ultimate Nicole from what I recall, but I did think Sloan had some of the essence of the original version of Nicole. Someone that carried herself as confident and someone that acted as though she was raised in an upper crust family.. and carried herself off as being older than she really was. I think she was 30/31 when playing Nicole though she acted/carried herself off as though she was in her mid to late 30s vs Jayne's Nicole that seemed like a 20 something year old in looks and aura.
