Slick,

1. Bill only fathered Hillary. Paul was supposedly Victor's natural child.

2. I only (barely) recall Pam, as I was very young around this time when I was watching. I don't remember her having a child. The most I remember was that she was both a nurse and a waitress (part time), and then she and Tim Ryan left Springfield together. This website might help a bit, as it has a few synopses from SOD, beginning in 1975. Pam is mentioned in a few of these:

From SOD, May, 1976

"Samantha, the child Doctor Tim Ryan brought into the world, is having a birthday, and her mother, Pam invites this doctor to her party. Pam so wants very much to get a relationship going with Tim, but Tim sees her as a good friend [his heart belongs to Rita]."

I never knew Pam had a child. I wonder who the dad was.

Has anyone heard of these characters. They were on imdb, so I know they probably aren't real.

Liz Cooper

Lea Spaulding

Betsy Reardon

Jada Lewis

I know there are plenty of errors on the site. I'm in the process of re-doing my GL cast lists, and these names just stuck out as fake characters to me. Thanks for any input!

I can't find any press mention of it, but Frances Fisher tweeted this morning that James Rebhorn - so memorable as Bradley Raines on GL and Henry Lange on ATWT, as well as countless prime-time and film appearances – has passed away.

Rebhorn was one of my favorite actors. "Devastated" doesn't begin to describe how I feel at this moment. I truly don't know what to say, except I pray God is with his loved ones at this moment.

...My God.

Thanks, bl. :)

I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I say Rebhorn was one of the many reasons why I wanted to write for the soaps BITD. I had always hoped of writing something special for him.

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
