Don Scardino was I think playing a bit younger than his age to date Nancy.

Don Scardino was 35 when playing Chris and Nancy was supposed to about 20?

Nancy had just graduated from high school with Marley and they were supposed to be 18 in 1985. I think Jane Cameron was closer to 25. Don Scardino was 37 (born in 1948!). 

Is there soap park benches other than. the AW fans bench and the TGL/OltL bench for Jerry van Dorn?

In the scene where Jamie meets Julie Anne, they establish that they were at high school together and that her brother Zack is a little older than Jamie. I feel like this is partly to remind us not to think of Jamie as too old.

Sad

I know he will always be remembered as Batman, as it should be, but I really loved his work as Jerry. The role was nothing, but he was gorgeous, charismatic, and had a real warmth and humor that was wasted on a show which at that time was so moribund. He and Laura Malone also had tremendous chemistry. 

This news just breaks my heart.

I remember Conroy from Search for Tomorrow but not really as Jerry. Did he leave the role before the whole schizophrenia storyline?

Are there any clips of him as Jerry? I jumped around searching 1980 but mostly found only Mac and Rachel.

Here's an episode featuring the end of Blaine and Jerry's marriage. He was really good here. Full episodes from August-December 1980 are still uploaded, but they're hard to find.

 

Thanks @AbcNbc247 

We've lost so many AW actors this year...so many P&G actors in general. No matter how much contempt P&G may have for their legacy, fans never really let go. so this still hurts.

Hey, if nobody else is going to preserve the legacy of these shows, it's gotta be up to the fans to do it 😊

And there's still always a chance that other complete episodes will be rediscovered and uploaded.

Thanks! Jerry seems like a real straight arrow here. Very confused about what Blaine is up to and why as she was convincingly attempting to insist she had not been at the club she wasn't prepared with a better cover story than "I don't have a double." (In fact if you think about it if she wasn't there how would she know there wasn't a woman who looked like her?)

When Blaine first married Jerry, she wasn’t really in love with him. She was only using him in order to pass information to the mob. But at this point, she was really in love with him but I think was torn between wanting that simple life with him or the glamorous life with the mob.

Thanks. I was trying to figure out an explanation where Blaine's motives had been somewhat pure. This makes more sense.

I went down the rabbit hole a bit hunting for Nancy as a child and watched some scenes from November with Tracy and Jason Dunlap. Olivia Delaney has come to Bay City and has decided to work at the hospital. Tracy has some out of town singing engagements planned so Jason has a new singer filling in, Lilly Grafton. She looked familiar but I couldn't find who played her.
