Ugh... Eplin was just a mess by the time he crossed to ATWT, though. So he had passed his prime before I was exposed to him...

But LOVED Bruno! Too bad his gay character on AMC was before gays were allowed to, like, TOUCH other gays.

Not sure how I feel he's aging, but I think cutting his hair would make a WORLD of difference.

And William deVry is just the sexiest man alive.

No argument from me. Although I watched him for so many years, I just kept looking for the guy I remembered underneath all the bullsh!t.

Forbes is an entirely different person with the short hair. I wish he would go back to it.

I love deVry, but there's something about the pics from that B&B swimming pool shoot that always look so Photoshopped to me. Like it's WdV's head, and WdV's body, but the head and body are from two different photographs.

Nah, I don't agree, unfortunately.

I remember when Jake first came on the scene (I watched that first episode), with Wheeler's Viki. He was a young aspiring filmmaker. He was hyperkinetic, energetic. He was a nice counterpoint to the other two young leads they were trying to introduce in the same time frame (whom I also liked...Richard Steen as Ben McKinnon and Russell Curry as Carter Todd...Thomasina's sweet).

I remember that the time of his introduction almost perfectly coincided with Madonna's film debut in "Desperately Seeking Susan", which they mentioned seeing (and Jake panned!) on an episode of AW. So that would have been summer 1985. AW was my absolutely FAVORITE show them (the AW tribute pages call this the "silver era", following Lemay's "golden era"). It was during this period that Cass first got into trouble with Tony the Tuna and became Crystal Lake; it was during this period that they met Wallingford; Jackee Harry was a delight back then as Petronia Paley's sister/Thomasina's "Ont" (aunt). Cecile de Poulignac was in her final days, and it led the gang (including my KATHLEEN) on a madcap trip to Mallorca (Mallorca! A location!). Caitlin and Sally, whom I loved every single day...mostly 'cause of Caitlin...were a young couple on the run. I know this has taken a very Tiger Beat turn, but Griffith and Page Keller had me waiting for each day in breathless anticipation. AW at that time was funny, adventuresome, clever, multi-generational.

I watched AW every single day during that period. I can also date the day I switched off, disgusted. It had to do with Sharon Gabet. She came to town as Caitlin's deaf wife or something...and all the energy and excitement of the show as gone.

Sorry to digress, but here are some pics to make up for it. I wish I could get a bigger version of that B&W version of Jake and Marley.

He was SO ripped then...it was when he left Y&R to do Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. (Andrew Lloyd Webber came on and personally escorted Danny from GC to NY).

Of course, that was the story pause that led Christine to start getting closer to friend Paul...and when Danny finally came back it was with a secret (he'd "gotten a girl pregnant in New York, even though he couldn't remember having sex with her"--Phyllis Summers).

When Romalotti started on Y&R, he had virtually no chest hair. It literally grew in, before our eyes, on those occasions when he left the top buttons of his shirt sufficiently undone.

He wasn't bad at all... he had one of the cutest asses in daytime. He was such a mystery to me, WHY he played Danny so effemiately, I'll never know... he was much butcher in person, and didn't seem gay when he was being himself, but Danny came off as SO GAY. Anyway... the clip doesn't allow embedding, so here's the link... he looks good here, too bad he didn't SOUND good!! He's brave, though, for standing on the stage and singing duet with Maitland, a woman who vocally blows him out of the water! (I would LOVE to get more footage of Maitland singing, I can never FIND any... even audio!)

I too LOVED me some Kathleen. Julie Osburn was a very underrated actress. It really pissed me off that SoapNet dropped AW just as we were getting into the Kathleen/Cass/Frankie storyline.

Moribund thread :). I love his facial expression ("busted"), and I wonder if Starr should be over in the Diva thread?

      Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either. If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work. I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back

      I was really starting to enjoy it, but after Anspach, Shelton and Keane left, it got a bit blah to watch. Jane Russell was great as Rose, Buddy Ebsen as Toat was interesting as well.  If a second season were in the cards, I would have signed  Karen Carlson on to a contract and cast a couple more women as regulars. The cowboy aspect could continue. Sam Elliott, as always, was fantastic,  The camaraderie between Roy and Quisto was really good as well. Cybill... she was sex on a stick and unapologetic.   Poor Robin Wright barely lasted five minutes, though, before being raped and murdered.

      I love it that we've gone from daylight to dark -- Luna's even returned to work -- but Steffy is still sitting next to shirtless Finn on the sofa.

      Is the current DiMera mansion the same mansion Stefano moved into around 1983?  I remember that house was out near a lake, and not far from Doug Williams' night club.  In fact, there was a tunnel connecting Doug's Place to the DiMera mansion.  If it supposed to be the same house, I'm fairly sure it is not the same set.  But I'm aware sometimes soap opera sets change without any explanation

      Amazing work @slick jones I remember watching and enjoying Yellow Rose but losing interest once they went to self contained episodes, Interestingly that's the opposite of what Dallas, KL and FC did. So maybe YR should have been more episodic at first and then go to a fully fledged serial. But really the timeslot was the problem -Sat @10 was not the spot for a serial. And Rounders turned out to be a poor lead in. Maybe 9-11 Tues following A Team would have helped.

      Doug Marland came on board shortly before Gloria Monty, I believe. Jackie Smith was in charge of ABC daytime at that point. All of the characters in place were not his creations. Alan was created by Irving and Tex Ellman who wrote the hurricane story a few months before and brought in Alan, Scotty, David Hamilton, Dorrie and Lisa/Lana. His first character was  Bobbie in Jan 78. Apart from wrapping up the Lan/Lisa story he pretty much kept all the stories going just adding new elements.

      She is 29... she's inching closer, and we know how important age is on soaps.

      When I saw that look on Will's face, I thought, "Yeah, there's no one on set giving direction to Crew Morrow. There's no one giving notes." His dad Josh was green when he started, but not this green.
