According to the AWHP, he was on between April 10 and May 2, 1991.

I haven't found any episodes online that he is in but I was happy to come across this episode from April 18 since it looks like it has plenty of Kathleen but also the appearance of Ann Harada as Mimi. I don't see any credit for Bill Shanks as Mark Allen in the credits.

Lots of new episodes are being uploaded on youtube, guys. Type in Another World in the search engine and in the settings pick the SORT by Last Upload Date option. That way you'll see everything new.

And if you want to save them, download everything, because youtube is unreliable. One day  the episodes are there, the next - Poof, they are gone.

I backup everything now as soon as I glimpse it on youtube. It jumps straight to my downloads. I don't risk every a minute. I've seen entire decades of soaps get removed just like that.  So sad that the report function can be so abused by psychopaths who just want to ruin our fun. Or scammers that prefer people to buy than watch the episodes online.

Something I've always been curious about. It seemed like Gretchen Oehler's Vivien was meant to come back and interact with Carmen Duncan's Iris and everyone else on a permanent basis but her return did not seem to last long. I wonder why that was. I think this was a missed opportunity as she and Duncan has amazing chemistry.

Harding Lemay brought her back to help reintroduce Iris.  Donna Swajeski kept her around for 2 years.  I’m not sure if it was budget or lack of interest for supporting characters like Vivien from Swajeski that lead to Vivien no longer appearing.

Did Vivien even have an exit?

I thought Gretchen worked well enough with Carmen Duncan, but she was probably more of a fit for the late '70s AW than what the show had become. 

I would have considered trying to build her character up, but I'm not surprised they just let her go.

I just listened to James Tupper in a zoom type chat with Sasha Alexander at her IG acct. They are doing Chekhov's THE SEAGULL together. He talked about Anne some & he talked about Atlas some. Atlas is doing well in school & also has friends his own age. Sounds like he's thriving. They talk about Anne openly, often. They go visit her gravesite & take flowers. He said the first thing you notice about Anne is her enormous talent & the second thing is her enormous sweetness. It was good.

Unfortunately during this era, nearly all the soaps had begun gradually been getting rid of their servant characters.  Probably for budget reasons, but perhaps also because someone decided they were not interesting or not necessary.  So Vivian returned to AW in 1988 and stayed for about two-years (working for Iris). Also the Cory's had another maid (forget her name) still on the show for about the same length of time. And of course Bridget lasted a few more years on AW. After that, servants were seen on soaps more and more rarely, unless they were directly related to an important storyline -- and then they might appear, but only minimally.  As I recall, Y&R's Ester was the only servant character to truly survive the purge -- perhaps because Ester had become more of a fleshed-out character who interacted with characters beyond being a servant.  Plus, giving Ester a daughter on the show probably increased the character's chance for survival. I realize Ester is no longer a servant at this point, since Jeanne Cooper's death.  

I was sorry to see all the servants disappear from American soap operas.  I thought they added depth and believability to the shows, and provided a working-class perspective to the workings of the wealthy family's households.

Categorizing Bridget as merely a servant is a bit off since she was of course Victoria's foster mother. But that is probably a disservice that the show did to the character since even after Bridget got herself hired at the Love Mansion as part of the scheme for Vicky to impersonate Marley she remained there in a servant role for several years. Did she stay with Donna after Vicky moved to her own apartment? I can't remember whether she was with Vicky and Jamie in their early married life or if she really only moved in with Vicky later.

    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
