Aww. Fun fact: Taylor Watson Seupel had a very small role in part II of the two-part movie A Bread Factory in which Amy Carlson appeared in part I.

Looks like quite an event! Might anyone have asked if anyone had footage of old episodes, especially from the 60s and 70s? Conceivably, actors and crew members from those eras might have gotten some footage and still have it.

Did anyone get an individual photo of Gail Brown.  I loved Clarice and Gail, when she was on AW.  I saw her in the back row of the group photo, but would love to see a better pic of her from the reunion.  

[Contessa Donatella]

Those of us who bought the Video & Photo pkg. do not have anything yet. 

My poster James has more pix he has not had time to upload yet.

My friend who runs this huge Anne Heche group Suzanne hasn't uploaded her pix yet. 

Patience, dear friend.

I also loved Gail / Clarice.  I always felt she was just as important (and as interesting) to Another World as Iris and Rachel.   

[Mona Kane Croft]

I agree.  Harding Lemay gets the blame (or the credit) for bringing uber-wealthy characters to Another World.  But he was equally adept at creating working-class characters.  Clarice is a perfect example of this.

I felt both Clarice and Nancy should have continued to  appear.  Clarice being quirkier, but with a down - to - earth motherly vibe the show needed after Ada and Constance Ford had passed. We had Sharlene, but she was messy. Nancy could have been a serious rival to straight laced Marly (or the good girl as opposed to Victoria)  in a Rachel vs. Alice type of rivalry.    

[Efulton]

I agree that Margaret DePriest writing out Clarice and Nancy was a huge blow.  Gail Brown and Jane Cameron were also unique and talented actresses.

[slick jones]

I absolutely loved Jane Cameron.she was just fun, and her friendship with Thomasina was great, too.

Gail Brown and Rick Porter getting dumped like that in favor of the NuMcKinnons (Nu M.J. the Hooker, NuVince and Cheryl...) I felt Larry should have been Adam and M.J.'s boss, but the vibe between the previous M. J. and Larry would have come across poorly with Sally Spencer.

Keeping Clarice could have worked, and in time Cory could have been SORASED. Instant story as he becomes interested in his real father. Maybe Robert dies and leaves him money etc

Clarice's had brothers Denny and Leigh. Both could have returned rather than creating new characters.

[Mona Kane Croft]

Absolutely.  Had Lemay remained as head writer, this would most definitely have happened eventually. Cory was a legacy character.

But no need for Robert to die, because Nick Coster was still living until about a year ago.

I wanted Robert Delaney (Nicolas Costner) back for a romance with Donna. Anna Stuart and Nicolas Coster’s chemistry wound have been off the charts!

Thank you for the info and photos. I'm glad as many people turned out as did. That love and loyalty is what kept AW on the air for those last 20 years and what keeps it alive today.

Broke my heart when I remembered Anne Heche couldn't be there.

Blaine was another character who could have stayed around for years. Making her Sandy's boring wife was not the smartest idea, considering that Rich and Frangione had other plans.
