Members Maxim Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 Another World, January 6th 1989 The engagement party from Hell (kinda) Let's begin, shall we? The episode started with the juicy revelation that Vicky may not be carrying precious little Jamie's spawn, but her sister's husband's! My husband exclaimed - "I knew this! That's why the other one can't have children. I hate her! She is this show's Brooke!" to which I replied - "Come on now, she is not as bad as Brooke. Vicky is an angel compared to the plague that swept through Beverly Hills. " In Felicia's home we had the all so annoying Donna Hudson, who I pray to God soon loses her husband... ambushing Felicia with her equally obnoxious daughter's fake wedding party who she wants to be held at Tops. Gallant of course declines, but Donna doesn't take "No" for an answer and reminds Felicia that Vicky owns the building! You can guess what happened next. Then at the door appeared the woman that is plotting at least 10 lives to ruin - Iris Wheeler, still unhappy, still full of hatred for normal people, still unloved by her only child! Iris revealed to Felicia the picture above the article, based on her life. Parallel to this, we saw a hand holding a medallion containing a similar picture of Felicia when she was young and comparing it with the picture in the magazine. Evan offered Jason Frame a new contract so that he gets off Iris's back. Jason is milking the "Chief" thing till he can. And we also had Sharlene and John in somewhat of an awkward situation. John expressed hesitance in wanting to pursue the relationship with her. I saw that coming! But I'm rooting for them. They are the only two people that I want to see happy on this show! So the time for that wicked engagement party came and everyone was acting like they are happy (deep down knowing this is a complete circus) and long and behold, just as Jamie was trying to think of something to say that would sound a bit truthful (because we all know he doesn't love Vicky)... a classic soap opera moment - Lisa came through the door of the restaurant and he saw her. Vicky did too. Freeze Frame. The end. Overall - 10/10!!!!!!!!! Favorite moment - not the final, but watching Iris make faces behind Felicia's back. Carmen Duncan is one hell of an actress. It is so hard to follow BM, but she is doing a wonderful job. My husband loves her too. "Hey why don't you send Michael to Tops!"

Members Mona Kane Croft Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 Interesting. Thanks for the information. I remember Farrell and Hogan, and I think I kind of remember MacDonald (now that I see some pics online). But knew nothing of the first actor to portray Scott. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 I've often felt like AW used Denise Alexander the way GH had used her before deciding to give Lesley a strong backstory with Laura. She was so popular on DAYS, but the other shows never understood that that doesn't mean diddly to their audiences if you don't give her a character to play. The whole story (both what had happened years before, and what played out on screen) with Mary, Reginald and Vince was so convoluted. I honestly don't know how AW fans survived through all of it, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 10 Members Share Posted January 10 This is the Studio City fire last night & Tom Eplin lost his house in it.

Members Xanthe Posted January 10 Members Share Posted January 10 They were children together (offscreen) and have a long history. But knowing to watch for him I recognized him. I hope that he and everyone affected remain safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 10 Author Members Share Posted January 10 Does anyone know what Tom Eplin has been doing for the last 20 years or so since leaving ATWT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 10 Members Share Posted January 10 I know that he married a third time & they had 2 daughters together before they divorced. Also DAYS had a short-term role for him at one point but scheduling it did not work out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mona Kane Croft Posted January 10 Members Share Posted January 10 (edited) Wasn't there talk of him playing Sonny's relative (maybe brother) on GH, back in the early 2000s? I think that was reported in a couple of soap magazines. That would have been interesting casting. Although I've always preferred less Sonny and more doctors on GH. I don't know what he has been up to, but now the fans finally have some footage of what he looks like these days. Many folks have been curious about that for years. Remember that photo that makes the rounds every year or so? A guy that is clearly not Tom Eplin, but somehow got labeled as Tom online years ago? So now there is a verifiable image of him in 2025. Although the context is tragic. Edited January 10 by Mona Kane Croft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
