Members AMCHistory Posted December 11, 2008 Members Share Posted December 11, 2008 Can anyone fill me in April Stevens? I know she was an older character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 April Stevens was the scheming blonde who came to Dallas to get money from either Casey Denault or it might have been Jaime Ewing brother (played by Dack Rambo). She went on to marry Bobby Ewing after Pam left town due to catastrophic injuries that led to her staying away for years. During a trip to europe, Susan Lucci killed April. This was when the show was at the bottom of the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Confusion reigns!! Both Dallas and Y&R had characters named April Stevens. Y&R was first. April is Heather's mother.She first came on around 79 played by Janet Wood.but was recast with Cynthia Eilbacher.She was a neighbour of Chris & Snapper Foster.I think she already had Heather and Paul was the father.April got involved with Greg Foster but ended up marrying Paul. . She left town a few years later after discvering she had a long lost twin Barbara. She returned in the 90's,having married the abusive Robert Lynch,whom she killed.Heather,then around 12 was unaware Paul was her father. When Heather recently returned to town,April visited -now played by Rebecca Staab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cashton Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 I didn't know April had a twin! Interesting. Not that they seem to have any plan on resurrecting her character, but just did not know she had a twin. Anyone remmeber the s/l? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boldfan01 Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 And this is the part that Lynn Marie Latham and company messed up completely during the story where Paul told Heather that he was her father. Paul made it sound like he didn't want to be a father and that was why April had decided not to tell Heather who her father was. But while Paul initially was a reluctant dad, he stepped up once he married April to legitimize their daughter, and he found that he did want to be a father after all. It was only when the Stevens family, including April, decided to move to New York with Barbara that Paul had to accept that his marriage to April had to end. They could have explained Paul's statement to Heather as being a lie he told so she wouldn't blame her mother for keeping her from knowing her true dad, but they never really got into it during the brief time April came to town.

Members AMCHistory Posted December 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Wow Mark, thank you for this! I had no idea Rebecca Staab had played the role. Was the last actress unavailable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Not sure if Cynthia Eilbacher was available or even considered. If she was,the show could've have used flashbacks which would've been so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
