:lol:

Her, John F. Smith, Kay Alden, Sally Sussman Morina, Thom Racina to name a few.

I've always heard that she was fired from the role of Morgan. Something supposedly along the lines of them wanting to age her for more adult stories. In other words, the actress looks too "young." Could be something else but that's what I've always heard.

Scott Hoxby guest-starring in an episode of Acapulco H.E.A.T. from around 1993. It's a Manchurian Candidate style plot.

He had the rug, but it wasn't as ridiculous as the one he had on GL a little later on.

I'm not sure why this isn't embedding properly.

I'm fairly certain that soap mags at the time hinted to her allegedly being fired.

Another poster who claimed to know Geraldine Court personally stated that Geraldine was concerned with Kristen's lack of professionalism or something like that. And I think the same problem followed her to OLTL.

I really like her and her music, but I wouldn't say that she's really had any success as a performer since she voiced Ileana Douglas' singing in GRACE OF MY HEART.

The start of the setup for Mart's exit as Ed. Anna Stuart's first day as Vanessa. Beyond that the most memorable part is Diane's meltdown over Alan...which will just get worse and worse in her last few weeks on the planet.

The Kelly/Morgan/Kelly's father scenes are good too.

I'm so confused with Quint's backstory. Later on they acted like Mrs. Renfield had been his mother most of his life, didn't they?

I read that [a looong time ago in some soap magazine]. I liked her on OLTL better than her replacement there Julianne Johnson I think her name was. I've only seen a little of her as Morgan from youtube, I started watching GL around 83, so I missed her back then. I remember Jennifer Cooke from V:the Series, and she didn't make much of an impression on me, either.

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
