Any chance you can post the blurb about the AMC Jamal divorces Alec storyline? Also, if there is a picture, I would love to have a scan for the All My Children History Project.

Here's what SOD said about Danny

When Michael Damian announced that he was quitting Y&R to star in the Broadway musical Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,the writers devised an innovative exit for Danny. Send him to Broadway ,too

,

But soon,sweet Danny was doing one uncharacteristic thing after another. First, he sent Christine that cowardly "Dear Jane" letter. Then he returned to Genoa City with his horrible new wife Phyllis,close on his heels. (Would Danny ever really ever sleep with her?)

Paradoxically, Christine is more interesting than she was when she was Danny's devoted wife. What a shame though,that her rise mirrors Danny's fall.

The Y&R writers are going to have to work overtime to bring back the real Danny,the one we used to love.

Thank you!!!

JP,

what character did Sharon Case play on GH?

She was one of the actresses to play Dawn Winthrop, Monica's long lost daugther, who is dead now.

Re Jamal/Alec

AMC took a cue from the headlines in a highly charged storyline spotlighting the fragile family ties between white corporate conniver Alec McIntyre and his biological son,Jamal Johnson. Jamal,who had settled with his loving foster parents,Tom and Livia Cudahy,wanted no part of his dad.

In a bold move,Jamal took legal action to dissolve his paternal bond.AMC didn't pull any punches during the volatile trial. And in a surprising twist,Alec recognised that he wasn't great parent material and gave up all rights to Jamal.

Sorry that I cannot supply the pic.One shows Tom and Livia facing Jamal and the other is a single shot of Alec.

Sharon Case also played Debbie Simon on ATWT.

Too bad the "Who Shot Roger?" story was wasted on FakeBilly.

Paul Raven, would you mind typing up SOD's comments on that story. I'm curious as to what they said. Thanks!

SOD Who shot Roger?

It's always exciting when a detestable villian gets shot,but the aftermath is usually a big yawn. Typical scenario:Amid a sea of red herrings,a beloved main character is accused,tried and often jailed before the real culprit-a non contract player who won't be missed-is exposed.

But GL broke the mystery mold when Roger Thorpe ate lead on the night of Nick and Mindy's engagement party. After crashing the party and infuriating all members of the Spaulding and Lewis clans,Roger was shot in exquisite slow motion.

The suspects were lined up:Jenna,Holly,Dylan,Billy,Alex,Gilly,Nick-the list went on and on,since virtually everybody in town had a reason to hate Thorpe.At first,it appeared we were in for another merry-go-round:Alex was briefly arrested,Roger's archenemy Billy Lewis,was framed by crafty Roger himself.

By this time,we'd put our money on Bess,a recurring character whose storyline usefulness was waning.But did our heads spin when we found out that family man Billy Lewis had committed the crime after all!what's more,Billy was actually carted off to the clink to serve a 9 year sentence.

Now that's a whodunit.

John and Jill's Divorce was THE best breakup...ever. Jess Walton sold that storyline for the better part of a year. She played Jill like a woman at the end of her rapidly fraying rope. Jeanne Cooper and Veronica Redd were both terrific as their characters forged an uneasy alliance to decimate Jill. Jerry Douglas, of course, was a pro throughout.

It climaxed with...

John: I need a moment with my...Mrs...

Mamie: You mean the bitch don't you?

Jill: *gasp*

Bo/Billie/Gina

Throughout their romance,Bo and Billie faced one stumbling block after another.History,coincidence and destiny conspired to throw the couple off the path of happiness. Billie's troubled past with drug and sexual abuse was revealed and she was arrested for her father Curtis' murder. Bo was nervous about getting involved with another woman after his wife,Hope,died and he lost Carly to Lawrence.

It seemed to take forever for Bo to pop the question to Billie.

Then the greatest obstacle the lovebirds could ever face presented itself-or rather,herself:A mystery woman who looked and sounded exactly like Hope but called herself Gina.Was Hope really alive after all?

Love triangles are par for the course on soaps,but DOOL put a new spin on an old predicament when Gina/Hope entered Bo and Billie's lives.Rather than pitting Billie against Gina and having the two women competefor Bo's affections,the writers turned them into friends.

Billie shared her home and clothes with the mysterious newcomer,and instead of duking it out,the two forged a genuine and compassionate bond. Neither woman wanted to hurt the other.The upshot was an interesting triangle that stood out from the norm in which a toothache sweet heroine and a resurrected wife who fight for the affections of a clueless hunk-who doesn't deserve either of them.
