I always thought they should have made Dean Jason's son rather than the never heard of Henry Frame.

I think they made the right decision in having Dean the son of a new character. Jason was pointless and awful and better off forgotten.

I'm still annoyed that the whole story became an excuse to have Frankie Mary Sue her way across Bay City. Bleh.

Hey everyone.

I noticed that several people have questioned why Chris Robinson was not a recast of Willis or Vince Frame. I remember reading an interview with him and he said the show originally wanted him to be a recast of one of the Frame brothers from the 70s. However, he wanted them to create a new character for him so he became the never mentioned before Jason Frame.

Thanks for sharing this info. I am guessing AW would have did cartwheels to appease to Robinson just to get him on the show. Interesting note, he started in Dec 87 and was gone by Feb 1989. He was only on the show for a little over one year. Even though, they invented a new brother. He really is a remake of Willis Frame

Reading some of the past pages, I noticed that the most popular of the Sally Frame's was MPK.. and seeing her youtube work.. I agree she was pretty good. I've never seen Taylor Miller's take on Sally, but everyone seems to think it was subpar so I'll have to agree.

What were the thoughts on the other actresses who played Sally Frame? I know there was one that eventually played Cindy Brady in a Very Brady Christmas, plus one or two grown versions before her.

Cathy Greene was the first Sally and was a good child actor. I really liked Jennifer Runyon in the role. You can see her work as Sally on Youtube. Mary Page Keller was beautiful and talented. By far my favourite. Taylor Miller could have worked out as Sally but the writing was terrible at that time. She also admitted that she has some issues behind the scenes that did not help. The character never should have been killed off. It was a very bad move.

Have Sally decide to leave town with Kevin or mysteriously disappear and later discover Denny Hobson,her first hubby is responsible!

Sally Phillips was the first 'adult' Sally and she was a rebellious type.Dawn Bwnz was also shortlived in the role at on e point.

AW missed an opportunity in not having Ricky Matthews arrive in BC as a teen to stay with Grandma Liz and discover the truth about his past.He could go in search of his blood reatives, only to be disappointed and realize that the Matthews are his true family.

Russ could have been given a teen daughter or son at this time (early 80's)a result of an affair from the times he was away from Bay City.

Wasn't her name Julie Phillips? She was around for about 18 months and her Sally was infatuated with Joey Perrini.

Yes it was Julie.

At a time when the show needed focus and to strengthen the core,they went in the opposite direction and went for new characters and families.

I remember Russ's daughter Olivia appearing in the late 80s. I think she was a model or something and she was dating Chris Bruno's Dennis. Who was her mother?

Tina Sloan's Olivia Delaney.

Eddie Drueding posted these screencaps of some characters. He's trying to find out if anyone can identify the actors. Figured maybe someone here might recognize them.

Ruth Edwards...Zack and Julie Ann's mother:

Rose Livingstone, Sarh Montaigne's mother, Mac's co-worker , later played by Ann Flood:

Drew Marston before Denny (Chris ) Albee:

There's a few more, I'll put them up later...

Only 4 more:Bridget Shea...sister of Pete, circa 1982...

Toby Miller...father of Mikey Hudson:

Alice and Ray McKinnon, Jake's parents, seen in flashbacks:

Thanks for checking them out!

I wouldn't swear to it but I believe that's Steve Rankin as the pre-Denny Albee Drew Marston.

Actually, the mother of Olivia Matthews (Russ's daughter) was never named on the show. Lots of folks assumed her mother was Olivia Delany, because Russ had dated Olivia briefly in the early 1980s. So that has become sort of an urban legend. I think Julie Poll might have even published it in her AW book, but it was never confirmed in any of the scripts. Using the name Olivia for Russ's daughter had no connection to Olivia Delany. It was just a coincidence.

Olivia Delaney was a bit of a mystery character.She was brought on as the ex wife of Robert but that was never explored as Robert was off the canvas and then she hung around with no story.

Maybe Olivia was a victim of the writer changes around that time.
