Could be. My 70s historical knowledge is spotty but he could be referring to winning Leslie's court case when she was tried for murdering Stanley Norris which would have been 1972, I believe. I didn't know he was shot right after that, though. I wonder who shot him. 

In 1972, Mike was married to Charlotte Waring while he was defending Leslie on charges of murdering Stanley Norris.  Their union ended bitterly, however, because of Charlotte's insecurity and treachery (she was jealous of Leslie and even tried to sabotage Mike's defense strategy by leaking his legal plans to the D.A.)

A low-life former associate of Charlotte's named Flip Malone kidnapped her and ultimately tried to kill her. Mike, forever the hero, had come to rescue her. He jumped between Charlotte and the gun and got shot in the chest. Trying to escape, Flip sped off and died in a car crash. Although she wanted to reconcile with Mike, Charlotte could not win him back. Their marriage was permanently over. Mike recovered from being shot and subsequently married Leslie.

Thanks for the history lesson. I was at least partially right with it being Leslie he was defending and the year being 1972. I didn't remember about Flip Malone. I guess the butterfly collar was a 1972 thing. I didn't think they came along until the late 70s. My fashion knowledge isn't as extensive as my TGL knowledge. To say the least.

I lived through the fashions of the 1960s and 1970s, but as bizarre as some of the styles looked in those days, nothing was worse than the hairdos of the 1980s, LOL!

Very cool and thanks for sharing. There may be other things of interest on that channel but on my phone so not able to check.

Thanks. Most of the soap related videos on the channel I've posted here already (they had a Morgan Fairchild interview which was taken down, I think), but there are some other interesting videos.

Thanks for the extra detail. I wish we could see some of Charlotte. Which Charlotte did you prefer?

Of the two principle actresses who played the role (there were a couple of short-term fill-ins, as I recall), Victoria Wyndham was more nuanced and subtle. Melinda Fee struck me as too sledge-hammery.

Thanks. That describes anything I've seen of Fee. After seeing a bit of Barbara Stanger's complex Mary on DAYS, Melinda's drag queen version was not a great experience. Still, I can't criticize what I never saw, so I appreciate your perspective.

Melinda Fee never showed any nuance or subtle shades on either TGL or DAYS, IMHO. I found her a let-down after Victoria Wyndham and Barbara Stranger.

the guy interviewing don stewart was beyond obsequious — nauseating, and a little creepy.  

I agree. Stewart seemed relaxed in the clip but that interviewer creeped me out.

I think he had a bit of  a thing for Don... and Don was playing along with that 'I'll sit on your lap' reference.

that was the vibe i got, as well.

Is it just me, or is Larkin Malloy a graduate from The. William. Shatner. School of Act-ING ?  I'm sure the stilted dialogue and talking endlessly to portraits doesn't help, but he just doesn't seem like a good fit for the show.

So what do you think about his being acting coach?!
