Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 11 Members Share Posted May 11 Susan Sullivan has recently battled cancer. I think she posted that she's beaten it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 11 Members Share Posted May 11 Thanks. I'm glad to hear it. I see on her Wiki that it was just last year. So maybe she is not doing much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted May 12 Members Share Posted May 12 I'm happy to see he's doing well. Greg and Jenny and Jesse and Angie were a wonderful and memorable set of characters. AMC struck gold with them. So often, soaps' young-love romances just fall flat or the actors fail to generate chemistry. These four were notable exceptions. Yes, it's long rumored that MK and Rauch had issues, Susan Sullivan publicly announced her health woes a while back, but she's doing better now. https://people.com/falcon-crest-star-susan-sullivan-lung-cancer-surgery-exclusive-8420665 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 12 Members Share Posted May 12 Not a rumor. Happened. Sexual harassment. It was decided that separating them was sufficient. It was a different time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Xanthe Posted May 12 Members Share Posted May 12 I am always curious because his Jamie was so disappointing to me after Yates and of course Bekins: what was Greg Nelson like and what about that character made AW cast Lau as Jamie despite his personal issues? Was it just the simple calculus that the actor had been popular on AMC? He stayed on AW for almost 3.5 years, which is a strange length of time -- was he on a 3 year contract and then lingered a little bit longer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 12 Members Share Posted May 12 My childhood memories of Greg Nelson are that of a "fine, upstanding, young man," who wasn't perfect, but who possessed many admirable and welcome qualities, including integrity and compassion. IOW, the kind of solid, relatable leading man you really don't see anymore on soaps (and if you do, they're boring as hell, lol). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 12 Members Share Posted May 12 You're right that 3.5 yrs is odd. You may have seen this but I had not, although some scenes are on other clips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted May 12 Members Share Posted May 12 (edited) IMHO, Jamie was ruined by Sandy, more than re-casting. He had been a carefree, creative, eligible bachelor, with an enviable lifestyle. Then, Sandy comes along and suddenly he's the second banana. Blaine and Cecile played him for a fool. He lost some of his edge, and definitely a lot of his heat. Years later, Jamie and Vicky should've been two peas in a pod. They were both comfortable with the spoils of wealth. But, they both had a tenuous attachment to their respective paternal sources of finance. And, most of all, they both felt as if they weren't their parent's favorite child (Jamie with Mac, and Vicky with Donna) (for all the Cpt Obviouses in the crowd, I know Mac wasn't Jamey's father, but you know what I mean). But, rather than empathizing with each other, Jamey was always trying to teach Vicky a lesson. It felt like plot-wise, the goal was to create a rivalry between Donna and Rachel by creating a Romeo and Juliet romance. However, the relationship really just served to confirm that Jamey was always second best. Edited May 12 by j swift 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members watson71 Posted May 12 Members Share Posted May 12 Cecile kidnapping Cass and taking him to St. Thomas was a fun summer storyline. TPTB should have found a way to keep Cecile in Bay City past August 1986- given the fact the cast would be purged in late 1986. Surely had she stayed the Sin Stalker would have made several unsuccessful attempts on her life. It would be 3 years until 1989 that Cecile would return to Bay City. I wonder if Cecile’s return was part of Lemay’s proposed storylines when he returned in 1988? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 12 Members Share Posted May 12 I so loved Nancy Frangione's Cecile & I so hated that she was not well used later on. May 1, 1989 IRL Doug Watson died. Broadcast show May 12, 1989 Mac Cory's last appearance. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 13 Members Share Posted May 13 (edited) Unsure yet. Just got a batch to go through. And Bope song, totally "Tonight, i celebrate my love for you." I realize that's DAYS, sorry. This is Geoffrey Pierson who played Roger Jackson. Sorry it's a little bit out of focus.
